Design Considerations
Hardware Installation:
We experienced a trouble-free and speedy
installation of the Muratec F-560, which we
completed in under 30 minutes. To access
the toner cartridge bay, you simply open the
front panel. The toner cartridge locked and
loaded easily without any spillage. The
photo-sensitive imaging drum is inserted to
the right of the toner, but you’ll have to open
the side bypass-tray to unlock the drum
opening. As with the toner, the drum was
easily installed and slid into place without
trouble. The toner cartridge is rated at
15,000 @ 4% and the drum cartridge is
rated at 20,000 impressions.
The F-560 supports DHCP network
installation, which can automatically register
network settings on a DHCP-enabled
network. This can significantly reduce the
installation time. Very few machines in this
segment support DHCP.
Software Installation:
The driver’s software automatically discovers
Muratec printers on the network, creating the
corresponding Windows printer objects, as
well as loading the driver DLLs. The
installation of the driver software added only
just a few minutes to our hardware set-up
time.
Console Interface:
The control panel is well engineered for
“getting-it-done”. Business owners will not be
spending much time decoding this interface.
It is simple and appliance-like with hard
buttons for core functions: Copy, Fax, and
Scan-to. A back-lit LCD interface provides a
low drill-down interface. With soft-buttons for
navigation and a non-complex menu
structure, users can be very productive with
the Muratec F-560.
The F-560 also offers several help keys that
are marked with a "?". The help keys
explain different options on a particular
screen and help walk users through the
operation.
Toner cartridge easily slides into place.
During the Muratec F-560 driver installation,
the user can perform an auto-discover
of the IP address of the device.
