Panasonic DP 2310
Digital Copier Specifications
The standard Workio DP-2310 is a high-speed
23 cpm digital copier, 23 ppm network laser printer, and TWAIN based
scanner.
Featuring
the Advanced Technology of Panasonic's Departmental-Class Digital
Systems, the WORKiO(R) DP-2310 and DP-3010 Copy, Print, Scan, and Fax
Panasonic
introduces a new series of WORKiO(R) digital imaging systems that suit
the volume requirements of workgroups, yet deliver the high performance
of departmental multifunction products (MFPs).
The new,
network-ready DP-2310 and DP-3010 take the strongest features of the
WORKiO DP-2500 (rated "most reliable" in the 2001 copier dealer survey
by The Office Products Analyst), and combine them with the superb
functionality of the ground breaking 60-page-per-minute WORKiO DP-6010
document imaging system.
The DP-2310 and the DP-3010, which copy
and print up to 23-ppm and up to 30-ppm, respectively, follow in the
WORKiO tradition of reliable products that are engineered to last. They
each come with a combination of features and functionality that is
virtually un-matched in workgroup MFP's especially at their lower
speeds and costs.
Both models perform a multitude of functions
and come standard with network printing, document management software,
and an enhanced graphical user interface (GUI) that raises the bar for
ease of operation. The control panel features an oversized 8-inch
diagonal, half-VGA (640 x 240 pixels), touch-sensitive, LCD display and
a logical, intuitive layout for quick access to any function.
With
the WORKiO in copy mode, the LCD panel shows both the original image
and what the final output will look like, for true WYSIWYG operation.
This feature alone represents a potentially substantial savings in both
time and paper. When being used remotely, the WORKiO system can
automatically send a Job Completion Notice to the user's PC.
With
the DP-2310 and DP-3010, leveraging your network has never been easier.
Both WORKiO models can be connected to a LAN right out of the box via
the built-in 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet interface. In addition, both
come with a USB port for direct connection to a PC.
The WORKiO MFPs offer 600-dpi, high-speed
network scanning and Internet fax (scan-to-email) capability.
Except
for the difference in their speed, the new WORKiO models are jam-packed
with the same cutting-edge features and capabilities. In this latest
series, Panasonic has not only taken the best of the best, but has also
added several enhancements to these digital systems, including:
According
to Paul Wharton, product marketing manager for copier/fax/MFP,
Panasonic engineers grafted the electronic architecture of the
feature-rich WORKiO DP-6010 onto the frame of the award-winning WORKiO
DP-2500 to create the new series.
"These digital imaging systems
are very well-suited for today's networked business environment,"
Wharton said. "They provide consistent quality up to 23 or up to 30
pages-per-minute. And with only a few (finishing) exceptions, the
DP-2310 and DP-3010 can do literally everything the feature-rich
DP-6010 does."
Wharton added that the new multifunction
machines
offer a high degree of document management productivity and low
ownership cost, while being very easy to use.
COPY FUNCTION
The
new, high-volume WORKiO models copy up to 30 (DP-3010) and up to 23
(DP-2310) copies-per-minute, with a first-copy time of less than 4.5
seconds.
With 600 x 600 dpi resolution and 256-level
grayscale,
image quality is equally impressive. Also, Panasonic has incorporated
new image-processing technology, including ultrafine toner and carrier
particles that are 20% smaller and provide accurate image reproduction.
The result is crisp, legible copies with virtually no blurring of small
characters, and virtually clear, sharp photos.
The new WORKiO
models have inherent network connectivity with a standard Ethernet
interface, enabling a number of convenient copying features. Concurrent
Copy allows the system to handle up to 12 jobs at a time. For
extra-large-volume copying, Tandem Copy enables two of these WORKiO's
to work jointly on a single job. With Remote Copy, jobs can be sent to
another WORKiO unit across the LAN in another room, or even in another
building. Proof Copy outputs a proof set for double-checking before
committing to a large quantity.
PRINT FUNCTION
The
new WORKiO's include intelligent network printing capability using
Windows(R) Printing System technology. Print speeds (letter) are up to
30 (DP-3010) and up to 23 (DP-2310) ppm(1). These WORKiO units can
handle paper sizes from invoice to ledger.
Image quality is
driven by 600 x 600 dpi resolution with 256-level grayscale.
Panasonic's exclusive Image Enhancement Technology further improves
printout quality to 1200 dpi, resulting in superb photo and graphics
reproduction with clear, crisp details and smooth gradations. In
addition to standard Windows printing, optional printer drivers provide
PCL5e/6 and genuine Adobe(R) PostScript 3(R) capability. Printing
flexibility is further enhanced with the built-in automatic duplex unit.
The
printer can be controlled from a desktop, allowing the user to check
the virtual printed results on the left side of the printer driver
screen while specifying commands via the GUI. Finishing results can be
confirmed on-screen, and the new visual status monitor allows the
status of a remote WORKiO to be checked in real time, enabling a
quicker response to such problems as paper jams and depleted toner. In
addition, documents can be stored in a user's personal mailbox or
security box - with space for up to 100 users - and printed at a later
time. Intelligent job control management is another important benefit
of the new WORKiO series. Using the enhanced GUI, the print queue can
be viewed and even deleted for each print or copy job, and approximate
job times can be displayed. On a network, the administrator can monitor
device status with the job queue and other WORKiO controls, as well as
set up or configure the system.
SCAN FUNCTION
With
network scanning capability, the new models offer high-speed
digitization of paper documents. Originals up to ledger size can be
converted to PC data. With up to 600 x 600 dpi resolution and 256-level
grayscale, original images and text are reproduced accurately. The
standard, automatic duplex document feeder holds up to 50 sheets (20-lb
bond) at a time and can batch feed using Job Build up to a maximum of
999 pages.
Built-in network connectivity enables scanned
documents to be transferred to any client PC on the LAN - a far more
efficient way of sharing documents than printing out copies. The
multi-protocol, multi-network design ensures that the systems can
connect without fail across all Windows, Macintosh, and Unix network
operating systems.
The new models allow a user to either convert
a paper document into PC data using the Scan-to-File function, or scan
a paper document and send the scanned data to a specified PC using the
Scan-to-PC function. With Scan-to-FTP (file transfer protocol), scanned
data can be transferred to an FTP server on the network, so images can
be downloaded to the client PC or transferred to another network via
the Internet. Images can be automatically scanned and directly launch
third-party applications such as OCR, email or graphics program. The
control panel's user-friendly, animated LCD displays the progress of
the scanning operation.
DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT
The
standard Document Management System software makes desktop document
management easy, allowing efficient handling of scanned documents and
other PC data. When a scanned image arrives on a PC, Document Manager
automatically alerts the user. Using the document viewer, comments can
be added or memo slips attached to the image. Scanned documents can be
managed by drag-and-drop and shared by network PCs. And with the
provided Panafax Desktop software, a fax can be sent directly from a
user's PC without having to print it.
Panasonic's optional DD
Storage System is provided for large-scale document management on a
client-server network. When DD Server software is installed, scanned
documents are stored on the DD Server automatically, and the
proprietary DD code is stamped on the document's cover page. With the
code stamp, a document can be quickly retrieved from the server and
printed. Any PC on the network can also retrieve stored documents from
the Document Manager screen.
FAX FUNCTION
With
the optional fax communication kit, the WORKiO is transformed into a
high-speed, 33.6 kbps Super G3 fax, transmitting at about 3 seconds per
page(2) (letter). Panasonic's 0.7-second Quick Scan makes short work of
prep time. Quick Memory Transmission saves even more time by connecting
to the receiver and beginning transmission while still collecting data.
And with the WORKiO systems' high-resolution scanning capability, 600 x
600-dpi resolution is available for G3 fax or Internet fax.
With
the Internet fax option, paper documents are converted to TIFF-F or PDF
image files and transmitted as email attachments via the LAN. Sometimes
called "free fax," this Send-to-Email feature enables the document to
be sent directly to other Internet devices, or even to multiple email
clients worldwide. When LAN and PSTN lines are used at the same time,
email/G3 mixed broadcast is a convenient way to send the same document
to both email addresses and G3 fax machines.
Paperless faxing is
yet another WORKiO capability. Image files sent as email attachments
can be easily opened and displayed using the existing image viewer
(e.g., Imaging for Windows(R)) for paperless fax delivery. WORKiO's
fax/email gateway function can automatically route received faxes to
the designated recipient's email inbox. Similarly, documents sent from
a PC via the LAN can be transmitted to a G3 fax machine.
PAPER HANDLING AND DOCUMENT FINISHING
The
WORKiO's offer a generous standard paper capacity of up to 1,150 sheets
(2 x 500 + 50), with options for up to 2,250 sheets from 5 sources. The
standard built-in, stackless duplex unit ensures trouble-free,
high-speed duplex copying. Automated, inline document finishing is also
available.
Document production is accelerated by features
such
as N-in-1 copy for copying multiple originals on a single sheet, Zoom
Copy for specification of enlargement/reduction ratios and Image
Rotation for accurate copies, regardless of paper orientation. Sort
Copy electronically collates copies as shifted or rotated sets; adding
expandable sorting memory further enhances sorting capability.
