IBM Unveils New Multifunction Systems

IBM Printing Systems Division announced four new multifunction printers (MFPs) that can print, copy, scan and fax.

Four multifunction devices accommodate almost any size workgroup:

• The IBM Infoprint 1540 is an A3/ledger multifunction device for small to medium workgroups that prints at up to 35 pages per minute (ppm); $11,542
• The IBM Infoprint 1560 is an A3/ledger multifunction device for medium workgroups that prints at up to 45 ppm; $12,858.
• The IBM Infoprint 1570 is an A4/letter compact multifunction device for small to medium workgroups that prints at up to 50 ppm; $3,259;
• The IBM Infoprint 1580 is an A3/ledger multifunction device for large workgroups that prints up to 55 ppm; $14,462.

All of these models include integrated 8-inch color touch screen that provides an intuitive operator access to the MFP functions. A "scan preview" feature can verify that appropriate settings have been selected, the document orientation is not upside down, and the correct side of the page was scanned.

When used with the hard drive, Custom Job and Job Build features can combine multiple scanning jobs into a single job. The devices also support copy quality adjust, reduction and enlargement, separator sheets, margin shift, edge erase, date/time stamp.

The fax and e-mail functions allow operators to scan items and fax or e-mail them to one or more recipients directly from the MFP. Destination shortcuts, like the speed dial numbers on a telephone or fax machine, can help decrease training time and increase end-user productivity. Administrators can monitor and manage network devices in an enterprise environment via a Web browser to maintain productivity.

There's also an optional wireless feature.
