Panasonic offers smart laser printer option

Johannesburg, 19 Feb 2004

Imagine a black-and-white laser printer that offers sophisticated features yet is priced to suit the budgetary constraints of your small business or home office. Introducing the PanasonicKX-P7305 and KX-P7310 laser printers, which make high-quality laser printing affordable to almost everyone.

Imported to and distributed in SA exclusively by NPC (Electronics) Limited, the two new models in the KX-P7300 WORKiO family of workgroup laser printers boast several sought-after features, including:

* Duplex printing - A built-in Auto Duplex Printing Unit (ADU) allows automated double-sided printing, with the option of 2-up/4-up, so you can save paper by printing several documents on a single sheet of paper, either two or four at a time (maximum eight, if printing both sides simultaneously).

* High print quality - Consistently high image quality laser printing, which ensures crisp, professional-looking documents.

* Fast print-rate - Both units print at18 pages-per-minute (1200 x 600dpi maximum).

* Simple installation and operation - IEEE 1284 parallel and USB 2.0 ports are standard, allowing ease of connectivity to the PC platform. Installing the printer driver is quick and easy, as is printing documents: choose from the range of user-friendly settings, then monitor the progress of the job using the on-screen graphic display message.

* Adaptable paper handling - Print on a range of media types, including plain paper (80gsm), envelopes, paper labels, transparencies and heavy paper.

* Large paper capacity - The standard media tray in either printer holds up to 250 sheets of 80gsm bond paper. Optional second feeders increase this capacity by 550 sheets to a total of 800 sheets. Up to 150 sheets can be accommodated in the paper output tray.

* Cost-savings - In addition to lower-priced consumables, the units feature a power-saving mode (which reduces operating costs) and an economy print mode (which uses less toner).

"Both models support PCL 6 Emulation and PostScript Emulation; and come with a wide variety of utility software for enhancing your documents and managing the printer from your computer," says Freddie Potgiether, Divisional Manager: Panasonic Office Automation, IT and Telecommunication systems.

"The KS-P7310 is also network ready: it supports Ethernet 10/100 Base T/TX networking, so you can use the unit either as a single user or as a workgroup.

"In fact, setting up the KS-P7310 in a network environment is easy and can be effected from the desktop: simply use the online Network Setup Tool provided," continues Potgieter. "Then manage the printer remotely using the Web Administrative Tool that allows you to monitor its current status from your workstation. Experience the KX-P7300 laser printers and discover the smart way to work!"
