Itec's B 501 and B 421 are the newest additions to its black-and-white multifunctional product series. Ideal for mid-size offices or workgroups, they combine advanced networking flexibility with superb output quality and security to boost workplace productivity.
“The new machines are affordable monochrome solutions that feature advanced networking capabilities,” says Holger Groenert, manager product marketing at Itec Distribution. “This makes them ideal for today's communication needs, and for networking multiple units throughout large offices. They have the same award-winning design as our colour products, and share many of their advanced features and functions.”
Scan data can be distributed directly to multiple recipients, via e-mail, fax or to FTP, SMB and WebDAV servers simultaneously, all with a single operation. In addition, the optional HDD can be used for personal, group or public boxes, as well as secure archiving and immediate document output.
An array of fax functions is available, including Internet and IP address fax to eliminate transmission costs, and TSI routing to forward incoming faxes to the proper recipient.
Both machines can print from USB memory and scan to USB memory, making them well suited to environments where confidential information must be protected or in situations when networks are down.
Output for the 501 and 421 meets high standards. Copy and print data is produced at 50ppm (501) and 42ppm (421), at a high resolution of 2400dpi equivalent x 600dpi. With multiple paper trays, optional added trays and large capacity units providing space for up to 5 650 sheets, large-scale jobs are handled easily.
“Both machines use polymerised toner, which produces sharp and crisp image quality,” adds Groenert. “A selection of optional finishing units is also available, allowing you to produce professional-looking, high-quality documents.”
For enhanced usability, the B 501/421 has an 8.5-inch full colour adjustable LCD with touch panel, allowing users to navigate, select and preview files directly from the main unit. Further, the main body is designed for high visibility and easy access, with front-access to toner and paper, easy-grip paper trays and a vertically and horizontally tilting control panel to accommodate all users.
Several new security features are available, including compatibility with IC card and biometric authentication in addition to password protection. Usage privileges can be arranged to allow users or groups access to necessary functions, improving security while reducing waste. Scan data can be saved as an encrypted PDF, and network communications are protected by SSL encryption. In addition, the HDD can be password locked, and all HDD data can be erased and overwritten when the unit is disposed of.
