WHAT WE LIKED:
•
The user-friendly interface provides both experienced
and novice users with a quick and easy method of
building copy jobs with many of the most commonly-
used features on the opening screen. In addition, up to
six unique one-touch buttons bring common
applications within a single finger press.
•
Image quality was to a high level across a wide range of
document types with even mid greyscales being
reproduced to a good level on full color pages.
•
Extensive batch job build capabilities include the ability
to change color/greyscale, media sizes, original type,
reduction/enlargement, and color edit mode.
•
A wide range of document production capabilities
include extensive page stamping features.
•
The Simplified Display makes navigation of basic
functions even easier and faster and aids those with
disabilities.
•
A color removal process (up to four colors) can be used
to clean up monochrome originals that have been
edited or highlighted.
•
The convert color and color background capabilities can
be used to quickly change one color to another or add a
colored background to a document. These features
could have applications in small financial/insurance
businesses now using multi-part forms. Instead, they
can create multiple color-coded copies of transactions
from master signed copy.
•
The Unauthorized Copy prevention mode that adds a
watermark when second generation copies are
attempted, rendering the copied documents useless.
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE:
•
The reversing document feeder design results in longer
original processing wait times when handling double-
sided originals than a single-pass duplex alternative.
•
Saddle-stitch booklet making is a multi-tiered, multi-
stage job build that many may get wrong on the first
attempt. A one-touch feature would be better.
•
Users cannot choose cover and insert/designate media
supplies ad hoc during the job production process.
•
More productive scanning in mixed media mode would
reduce the impact on user productivity when handling
large jobs such as legal discovery copy set production.
•
The Convert Color mode could be improved by allowing
a user-defined color to be selected as the color that is
due to be converted, plus a threshold control.
•
Visual aids for user color creation would eliminate
printing samples of user colors on a trial/ error basis.
