WHAT WE LIKED:
•
The user-friendly interface provides both experienced
and novice users with a quick and easy method to build
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.
•
Mixed size original scanning mode suffered from a
much lower slow down (compared to default auto-size
detect) than some competing units.
•
Image quality was to a high level for general office work
across a wide range of document types with even mid
grayscales reproduced to a good level.
•
We liked the extensive batch job build capabilities
including the ability to change media sizes, original
type, and reduction/enlargement.
•
There is a wide range of document production
capabilities including extensive page stamping features,
including one for bates type numbering applications.
•
A simplified display makes navigation of basic functions
even easier and faster and aids those with disabilities.
•
The Unauthorized Copy prevention mode that adds a
watermark when second generation copies are
attempted, rendering the copied documents useless, is
helpful.
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE:
•
Using the saddle stitch function can be confusing to first
time/occasional users.
•
Users cannot choose cover and insert/designate media
supplies ad hoc during the job production process.
•
Users are not able to customize the copy opening panel
on a user- by-user basis (identified via authentication
step).
•
Reversing document feeder design results in
productivity decrease when working with double-sided
originals.
