Complementing Imagistics' existing award-winning line are the im2020, im2520, im2520f, and im3520 multifunction copier/printer/scanners: affordable, compact, reliable low-to-mid volume solutions. Each features an adaptable, modular design that provides for custom configuration and flexible upgrade paths to match a business' evolving applications, such as network printing, cost saving scanning, or professional finishing.
"With advanced document printing, copying, scanning, sending, and management capabilities, the im2020, im2520, im2520f, and im3520 assume the position of value leaders in the low-to-mid volume MFP marketplace" stated Nat Gifford, Imagistics' vice president of Product Development and Marketing. "Competitively priced, they are excellent alternatives for businesses seeking to consolidate stand-alone equipment into a space saving, more capable multifunction device; automate existing processes like duplexing or booklet making; and communicate inside and outside the workgroup or small office to speed the distribution of information and lower expenses associated with document/data transfer."
Each configuration is a fully capable digital copier with an 80-sheet Reversing Automatic Document Feeder (RADF), dual 550-sheet universal cassettes, a 150-sheet Stack Bypass, and standard duplexing. Customers may increase paper capacity and choose from several simple yet sophisticated output options including saddle-stitch finishing and hole punching.
Designed to be versatile, these competitively priced units can support a number of productivity enhancing network attachment options for printing, scanning, and Internet fax. Scanning at up to 74 originals per minute, the robust capabilities of this series offer a host of cost saving distribution and document archiving features.
Each model offers many Rehabilitation Act (Section 508) compliant features including a tilting control panel with an enlargeable, reversible LCD screen and concave numeric keys; top and bottom handles on paper sources for better leverage; and clear paper guides on the RADF so seated users may position originals properly.
The company's web site at www.imagistics.com contains further details on these feature rich products:
The im2020 is the value leader of the series. At 20-cpm/ppm with a suggested maximum volume of up to 100,000 impressions per month, and backed by Imagistics nationwide sales and on-site service organization, the im2020 provides an attractive alternative to the high operating, supply and service costs of stand-alone, cartridge-based copiers and printers.
The im2520 is also an entry-level solution, but for customer environments with slightly higher volumes (up to 120,000 impressions per month). Its 25-cpm/ppm speed makes it is an attractive option for workgroups stepping up from desktop and lower volume devices.
The im2520f matches all the functionality of the im2520, but adds standard network printing and Super G3 fax capabilities. As a result, the im2520f is a communications hub device that can consolidate multiple stand-alone desktop devices, including faxes, printers, and scanners.
The flagship of the series, the im3520 is a mid-volume workgroup solution that operates at 35-cpm/ppm with standard network printing and a suggested maximum monthly volume of 150,000 impressions.
Each of these products provides ease of use through features like the Multi-job Function to eliminate lines at the copier, the ability to feed mixed size originals in a single job, and intuitive control panel screens to guide users through programming. Plus, network connected users enjoy complete system control from remote workstations through the Imagistics Printer Management Utility designed to simplify installing, monitoring, and managing network connected systems.
