Copy controls are presented as soft keys in
the LCD screen. Arrayed on the left side
(see picture) of the screen are buttons to set
document type (i.e. resolution), contrast,
bypass paper size, sorting and zoom. Some
competitor’s machines use hard buttons for
these same functions, but Muratec’s
approach certainly makes it a more flexible
device — i.e., it can be programmed for new
features.
Unusual in this class is the ability of this
device to queue up copy jobs while the
device is busy. When in this mode the
console displays a “Copy Reserve”
message. The job queue size is dependent
on the amount of memory installed and the
document type setting, but in our testing, we
were able to queue up three single page
high-res images without reducing memory
significantly. When in copy reserve mode,
print jobs can also queue up as well.
In fact, whether a print or copy job is
currently active makes no difference: the
walk-up user will still be able to initiate a
copy or submit a scan-to job. And the same
ability to handle mutiple tasks extends to
faxing. This is all possible through Muratec’s
“QuadAccess technology, which is truly
impressive in this class of device.
Mixed Originals Copying:
If a user has two cassettes installed they can
load letter into one cassette and legal into
another. Then they can feed both letter and
legal-sized paper through the ADF at the
same time, and the appropriate paper will be
pulled.
This is automatic, users do not have to tell
the machine that a mixed job is about to be
performed.
This is an important feature for environments
such as legal offices and real estate
companies that commonly copy batches of
documents containing multiple paper sizes.
Copy
Copy controls are arrayed on the left side of the
touch console. The “Others’ button leads to a
screen from which users can control duplexing,
combine, and macro buttons.
Users can select from text (300 dpi), photo (300
dpi), text high-res (600 dpi), text & photo high-res
(600 dpi), and photo high-res (600 dpi).
The Muratec F-560 can queue up copy jobs while
the device is busy printing.
