These new higher-volume MFPs are designed to help businesses maximize their document workflow efficiency while providing outstanding performance and ease-of-use. The MX-M623 models follow the recently introduced MX-M753, another model in Sharp's hi-speed monochrome MFP lineup released this past spring. Engineered to increase workflow productivity, the MX-M623 and MX-M753 devices come with an 8.5-inch high-resolution touch-screen color display and a powerful 800 MHz multi-tasking controller that processes complex jobs quickly, even while documents are being scanned. Moreover, the MFPs produce copy/print speeds of 62 and 75 pages per minute (ppm) respectively, while feeding up to 110 lb index stock through the paper trays, providing power and reliability to handle professional-level printing needs. The customizable Home Screen and My Menu simplify use by bring access to Sharp OSA® applications and commonly-used features to the forefront of the display for one-touch operation. The MX-M623N and MX-M753N also offer a standard retractable keyboard, simplifying jobs that require repetitive data entry tasks such as email-distribution, archiving or scanning to a document management application, while also enabling quick interaction with network applications. "Customers in high-end workgroup markets need easy-to-use machines that can handle large and complex jobs quickly, while also maintaining a high level of efficiency and a low cost of ownership," said Mike Marusic, vice president of marketing and service, Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America. "The high-performance engine, customizable functions and seamless integration of the OSA 3.5 development platform enable users to set up the devices in a way that meet their own personal business needs. Adding these new models to Sharp's high-volume MFP lineup gives customers a number of different options to choose from that do just that." Designed for Exceptional Performance and Reliability Featuring an 800 MHz true multi-tasking controller that delivers copy, print and fax jobs continuously, and can also process network scanning jobs while existing jobs are output, the MX-M623N and MX-M753N models are extremely versatile. These MFPs are manufactured with Sharp second generation micro-fine toner technology, which provides more uniform image coverage and a lower consumption rate than conventional toners, resulting in crisp, high-quality output that is also economical. These new models feature an available on-line paper capacity of up to 6,600 sheets; and a 150-sheet duplex single pass document feeder with color Scan2Ôtechnology standard. Sharp's award-winning Scan2 technology enables users to scan two-sided documents in a single pass, speeding up workflow, reducing misfeeds and improving reliability. A New Standard for Ease-of-Use The MX-M623N and MX-M753N models offer a standard, retractable keyboard that is designed to streamline data entry and simplify e-mail address and subject line entries. This sturdy keyboard offers users a familiar, ergonomic interface and makes these models convenient portals to the network, saving time on jobs that may require user authentication or include repetitive scanning and archiving of documents. The brilliant 8.5" high-resolution touch-screen color display offers intuitive menu navigation with razor-sharp graphics that makes operation simple. Coupled with Sharp's easy-to-use Document Filing System, users can store and quickly recall frequently used files such as forms and reports intuitive, graphics-driven displays making it easy to search for saved documents via thumbnail images rather than file names. An advanced Image Check feature even allows files to be previewed on-screen for verification. The Sharp MX-M623 and MX-M753 document systems also feature the latest version of the Sharp OSA development platform. With the standard application communication module and external accounting module, the new MX Monochrome Series becomes the gateway to providing fast, flexible access to documents and network applications. Sharp OSA technology leverages the high-resolution display of these new Sharp MFP models to enable customized user interfaces that support richer graphics, web-based HTML, JAVA and Flash clips for the integration of motion video. Sharp OSA technology also features Open USB capability, allowing developers to provide a broader range of access control, such as the ability to log in via a card swipe and the ability to authenticate via Chip/Smart Card (CCID). Unparalleled Device Management Capabilities These new models also include the new Sharp printer administration utility (PAU version 5.0), which incorporates a Remote Front Panel feature that allows an IT administrator to remotely take control of the device's front panel and see exactly what the end user is seeing. The IT administrator can remotely change settings, show the user how to perform a function, or diagnose and often rectify problems without deploying a technician. The capabilities of PAU version 5.0 are fully integrated into Sharp's intelligent Device Management (iDVM), which for the dealer can transform many service support functions from an onsite task to a remote task, leading to enhanced productivity and profitability, as well as reduced costs. Developed and marketed with MWA Intelligence (MWAi), a leading provider of M2M (machine-to-machine) solutions and tools, iDVM also enables the dealer to automate meter read collection and integrate the data into their ERP system providing an enhanced, streamlined billing process. It will also allow service providers to remotely access service logs, receive real-time service alerts and consumable levels notification, update firmware, and clone device settings, dramatically improving user uptimes and service support levels. Supporting the Newest Security Standards With Sharp's latest award-winning, multi-level document and network security suite, customers can be assured that their information is secure. These models meet the new IEEE-2600TM -2008 security standard for MFPs as well as offer advanced, web-based device management for administrator level and user level login control. Sharp also offers an optional data security kit that encrypts document data using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) methodology. This same kit also erases temporary memory on the hard drive by overwriting the encrypted data up to seven times. Sharp Best of Breed Engineering The MX-M623 and MX-M753 are the result of Sharp's unique approach to designing and building office products. The company employs a global product development process in which management, business development, R&D, product development, marketing, manufacturing, training and customer service teams all work collaboratively during each stage of the product development process. This gives Sharp a 360-degree view of the MFP market, allowing the company to form a common platform strategy in which the core components of its product line are designed, developed and manufactured together. Components, software and processes are engineered to be shared across engine platforms, making Sharp's products "look and act" similarly across virtually all segments of the market. The culmination of this approach is a line of award winning products universally praised for exceptional reliability and superior performance. The MX-M623 and MX-M753 will be available exclusively via authorized Sharp dealers and direct sales.

Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) unveiled a new software tool for its ColorQube™ 9200 Series multifunction printers (MFP) that prompts office workers on ways to save money and print greener. The web-based software called Xerox Print Advisor® uses on-screen prompts to alert users to simple actions they can take to print smarter. For example, if a user chooses to print a multiple page document on one side only, an on-screen message appears recommending two-sided printing. Free to ColorQube 9200 Series customers, Print Advisor also collects data on all print jobs, such as how many pages each user prints daily, providing valuable information to the IT department. A variety of detailed reports help office workers and IT administrators make more informed and responsible print decisions. For IT managers looking for enterprise-wide reports and usage data, Xerox Print Advisor Premium will be available for a fee. The premium version extends the benefits beyond ColorQube 9200 Series users and provides detailed data and reporting for all networked printers and MFPs as well as those directly connected to users' PCs. Administrators also can create custom end-user prompts to deliver additional information relevant to their organizations. "Xerox's Print Advisor is a well thought-out application that will promote awareness and educate users on the impact of their personal printing," said Jon Reardon, group director, Office Document Technologies, InfoTrends. "It's a powerful tool to drive responsible printing behavior." Using Xerox's cartridge-free solid ink technology, the ColorQube 9200 Series cuts the cost of color prints by up to 62 percent and generates 90 percent less supplies waste compared to traditional color laser MFPs. Print Advisor is available immediately as a free tool for all ColorQube 9200 Series customers and can be downloaded at www.xerox.com/printadvisor . Print Advisor Premium will be available this fall.

With the new application, GlobalPrint Systems expands its vision of convenient, flexible cloud printing via the PrintPOD mobile print network. Through the PrintPOD mobile print network, GlobalPrint enables cloud printing in public spaces. Now users can send any document on their Android SmartPhone to the PrintPOD network, and print the output from any PrintPOD-enabled printer or kiosk. Android Selected to Reach More Customers "We chose Android because of the opportunity to serve more customers," said Joe Mislinski, CEO of GlobalPrint Systems. "Android recently eclipsed the iPhone in units sold, and corporate users are moving to Android in droves." GlobalPrint has plans to expand the application to other SmartPhone platforms during 2010. Further extending its reach in the emerging mobile printing market, GlobalPrint Systems will also soon announce a major strategic partnership. "This partnership will dramatically expand the number of PrintPOD-enabled printers and nodes throughout the US and internationally, making cloud printing a reality for millions of consumers. Our vision of ubiquitous printing is becoming a reality," Mislinski said. Difference Is Printing Convenience and Flexibility "What's different about our offering is that it is not destination-specific," Mislinski said. "Users print to the cloud, not to a specific print device, which makes mobile printing more flexible and less frustrating." Unlike other products, which require the advance selection of a specific printer, entering "release codes" or finding an open wi-fi or Bluetooth printer, the PrintPOD approach is very convenient to use. Users can find enabled locations using Google Maps (either on a web browser or with the Android application), approach a device, login, and choose their document, print and go. GlobalPrint created the first cloud printing network in 2007, and has units installed in convention centers, hotels, resorts and airport lounges and other public spaces. PrintPOD-enabled printers, nodes and kiosks allow consumers to walk up, log in and print. Now, Android SmartPhone owners can select and print any document on the phone's storage, email folders, SMS text messages or photo gallery with the ease and security of the PrintPOD network. Benefits for Printer Providers, Too The simplicity of the implementation relieves the owner of the printer from having to interact with the user, but it encourages "stickiness" — the consumer will stay at the coffee shop, bookstore, or other public location and use more services since printing is available. Owners of print devices also enjoy revenue from these consumer interactions, underwriting the total cost of ownership of a device they most likely already own to print emails, invoices, customer orders and other general business documents. The site owner can move the printer from the back office to the public space, encouraging consumer use and capturing more consumer transactions. About GlobalPrint Systems, Inc. and the PrintPOD mobile print solution Privately held GlobalPrint Systems, Inc. was founded in 2005 to meet the printing needs of on-the-go mobile professionals and consumers. With headquarters in Marlton, NJ, GlobalPrint Systems is a true pioneer in this large but underserved market, GlobalPrint created the patent-pending PrintPOD mobile print solution -- the only non-destination specific, account-based, secure cloud printing solution available to consumers.

Wed, 16 Jun 2010 00:00:00 EST 17FCC966B8D14D799E09C8EFDA950CD2 http://documentmedia.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=7C26B3DC6D894BB4AB798F9BC4513992&nm=&type=news&mod=News&mid=9A02E3B96F2A415ABC72CB5F516B4C10&tier=3&nid=F3E6A2D91D924D5584092AB2499E3B44 InfoPrint Solutions Company, a joint venture between IBM and Ricoh, announced that together with Source Technologies, a world-class provider of magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) and secure printing solutions, it has launched the InfoPrint 1832 MICR and InfoPrint 1822 MICR for use in check and secure-document creation applications. This announcement reinforces InfoPrint Solutions' ongoing relationship with Source Technologies as the exclusive distributor of its MICR-enabled workgroup printers. These latest models offer robust performance along with Source Technologies' exceptional secure print functionality, adding continual depth and versatility to the InfoPrint Solutions workgroup family. The InfoPrint 1822 MICR offers the best value in secure printing for negotiable or secure document creation with the highest levels of security. Perfect for any space-conscious environment, this robust printer, with a small footprint, has a 300-sheet input capacity and duplex as a standard feature. The printer enables print speeds of up to 40 pages per minute (ppm), a time to first page as fast as 6.5 seconds and 64MB of standard memory. The InfoPrint 1832 MICR is ideal for facilities that require high-throughput performance and superior security without the expense of a higher end solution. Boasting print speeds up to 45 ppm, the InfoPrint 1832 offers optional internal duplex, a 500 MHz processor and 128MB of memory as standard. It also features a 250-sheet standard input drawer with 100-page multi-purpose feeder and a time to first page as fast as 7.5 seconds. "Our continued collaboration with InfoPrint Solutions adds depth to our existing secure printer solutions set and ultimately offers our customers a wider range of secure printing tools," said Sarah Burkhart, Director of Marketing for Source Technologies. "Source Technologies offers check- or secure-document printing solutions to an expansive user base. These innovative printers from InfoPrint Solutions combat fraud and represent an important instrument in any company's data security arsenal. The InfoPrint 1822 MICR and InfoPrint 1832 MICR offer more robust performance than their predecessors while incorporating more environmental conservation features." MICR line characters, printed using special fonts, must be printed with MICR toner in order to comply with check processing standards. It is the combination of toner and fonts that create the machine readable MICR line. MICR toner is the element which adds the magnetic readability to each character, allowing for high-speed check clearing. The United States still relies heavily on checks as a payment method; according to the most recent Federal Reserve study, approximately 30.5 billion checks are paid each year in the United States. This technology provides banks the ability to use computer technology to process checks at a rate faster than previous methods. It also includes guidelines to help ensure production of consistently readable MICR characters. "These new printers enable our customers to automate their disbursement process and decrease the associated risks and costs," said Paul Preo, Vice President, Distributed Solutions for InfoPrint Solutions. "InfoPrint Solutions is proud to extend our collaboration with Source Technologies to provide these secure MICR printers as replacements for non-secure solutions such as a standard printer with MICR toner, dot matrix printer or typewriter. As exclusive distributor of these secure printer models, we are confident Source Technologies will provide our customers with solutions customized to their needs." About Source Technologies Source Technologies' self-service kiosks and secure print solutions empower businesses to automate a wide-range of processes including complex banking transactions, customer-facing retail and hospitality interactions, and the secure printing of sensitive information and negotiable documents.

CNG-WEB version 6.2 brings the efficiency of workflow and several other new capabilities to the browser based experience. Using this convenient interface, users have the ability to search cabinets, folders, and view documents from any location, anytime, without installing additional software on remote systems. Version 6.2 takes the user experience to the next level by adding workflow, simultaneous document add and route, last location memory, document trace and a number of performance enhancements that simplify use and accelerate speed. "One of the biggest values in using CNG-WEB is its ability to support workflow using a standard browser. Workflow is the heart of keeping business processes moving and the ability to review and approve documents anytime, anywhere through a web browser is now a reality for our clients," said, Kenny Lance, President, NetBase Technologies. CNG-WEB's workflow supports rules based and manual routing of documents. The user can also add notes to the document's workflow history. The notes feature is a great way to provide additional information and communication about a workflow activity, without making changes to a document. Approved documents are automatically sent to the next stop in a workflow rule or to the selected destination/user in manual mode. Rejected documents are returned to the preceding step. Documents can also be added (uploaded) and routed in a single process using CNG-WEB. The complete workflow history and all notes are easily accessed by using the new trace function. This allows users to immediately know the status and progress of any document's workflow, even if that user is not part of the workflow. For added convenience, CNG-WEB now remembers where a user was in the system during the previous session (i.e. which repository, cabinet and folder) and returns them to that location when they log back in. This is part of the overall performance improvements made to CNG-WEB which also include quicker loading mythologies. Navigation was further streamlined by upgrading the traditional numbered paging system with quick responding scroll bars and page-up/down keyboard controls. "The need for anywhere anytime is becoming a business necessity. Embracing the Web with CNG technology is an exciting way for us to help our customers accomplish their goals from these new business environments. CNG-WEB and CNG-ONLINE are two technologies CNG offers that give users the flexibility to retain a competitive business advantage," said Andrew Bailey, President, CNG.
