Bytes Document Solutions (BDS), the Xerox authorised distributor in SA, today launched the Xerox Digital Copier 1010. Designed for both large offices and small and medium print shops, the Xerox 1010 offers customers a digital alternative that features the same speed and simplicity of a copier and the flexibility and finishing capabilities of a light production-printing device.
The Xerox 1010 produces black-and-white images with 600 x 600 dots-per-inch resolution. It can be used as a production digital copier or can be connected to a network. The Xerox 1010 is the only product in its class with a scanner that can scan both black-and-white and full-colour documents. The scanner saves documents as industry-standard TIFF files and scans the documents to a mailbox embedded in the 1010 copy server. The files are retrieved via a computer on the network.
In combination with the system`s ability to run a variety of paper stocks from up to seven separate paper-feeding trays, documents can be created and finished quickly and easily within the one device. The Xerox 1010 offers a 150-sheet interposer, which can integrate black-and-white and colour pages into one document automatically so a person does not have to collate pages by hand. The system allows pre-printed colour covers and/or inserts to be integrated with a monochrome job run on the Xerox 1010.
"For example, if a user created a mostly black text-based report and wanted to include select pages of colour graphics or charts, they could simply print the colour pages on another device and place the colour pages in the Xerox 1010`s interposer," adds Paul Haglich of Bytes Document Solutions. "Using the easy-to-navigate touch screen, the operator would program the Xerox 1010 to print the black-and-white pages and indicate where the colour pages should be placed in the document. With one push of the button, a fully integrated report would be created."
The Xerox 1010 comes standard with finishing capabilities, including three-position single or dual stapling, and four-hole punching for finished booklets, reports or catalogues.
The Xerox 1010 is available as a standalone digital copier, including the finisher. A network-enabled Xerox 1010 copier/printer is also available and includes the EFI Fiery EX 1010 controller, a workstation that processes jobs prior to printing. Options include the interposer, the high-capacity feeder and three-hole punching.
"The product will be available from August 2003. Sales, service and leasing will be offered through the Bytes Document Solutions direct sales force and its authorised sales agents," concludes Haglich.
