Samsung unveils SME printer

Samsung's CLP-660ND is a colour laser printer with features aimed at small and medium businesses (SMEs), says Good Gear Guide.

It provides automatic duplexing and can connect to a network. The Samsung CLP-660ND has a 250-sheet paper cassette and a 100-sheet multiple purpose tray.

The printer has USB and Ethernet ports. It is powered by a 533MHz processor and 128MB of memory, which is user-upgradeable to a maximum of 640MB.

To capture the growing interest of large enterprises toward printing outsourcing through solution providers, Canon India has entered into the domain of managed printing services, reports ChannelTimes.

In its new role, Canon will offer a complete and comprehensive document management and consultancy business.

The printing outsourcing market is dominated by companies like Xerox and HP; however, Canon aims at garnering 25% market share, and will be handling 500 million documents by 2010.

VAR Ubiquitech and Xerox have collaborated on a tailor-made print set-up expected to boost business opportunities at the University of Exeter's new Innovation Centre, states Computing.co.uk.

The centre needed an efficient yet secure print infrastructure that would enable it to serve its various customers.

Xerox became an official technology partner for the planned centre, and a managed multifunction device (MFD) infrastructure was designed. The system centres on two Xerox WorkCentre 7665 MFDs that support the vendor's Web-based Extensible Interface Platform.
