Kyocera Mita America has expanded its TASKalfa multifunctional product (MFP) series with the launch of two black and white multifunctional products (MFP), the TASKalfa 520i (52 pages-per-minute) and TASKalfa 420i (42 ppm).
According to Kyocera Mita, TASKalfa 520i/420i offers 600dpi image quality with print, copy and scan functionality. It is based on MFP engine technology that utilises its Amorphous Silicon drum delivering business uptime through a 500,000 page preventive maintenance (PM) schedule. Both models come with 2GB of RAM and 160GB hard disk drive. These include a USB host interface that provides users with the ability to print-from and scan-to any USB drive in PDF, JPEG, TIFF and XPS file formats through a touch screen control panel.
The new MFPs feature dual 500-sheet adjustable paper drawers along with a 200-sheet tray. Maximum paper capacity tops 4,200 sheets and a range of paper stock is supported, from 13lb bond up to 110lb index. It offers multi-position stapling and hole-punch, the company said.
The performance of the TASKalfa 520i/420i is optimised through a Hybrid Platform for Advanced Solutions (HyPAS). HyPAS is a software platform that optimises the performance of Kyocera’s MFPs through custom, integrated software applications that are designed to meet user specific document imaging needs. It offers both Java-based and web services-based Software Development Kits (SDKs), enabling integration with systems that are already implemented in the enterprise.
The TASKalfa 520i/420i comes with Kyocera’s KX Driver, PDF Direct Print and Prescribe offering for on-demand black and white document creation and output. In addition, the company also offers document workflow offerings such as KYOcapture and KYOcapture Express which integrates with document management systems, including Equitrac, SentryFile, LaserFishe, Documentum, and Microsoft SharePoint; and network and device management tools such as KMnet Viewer and PrintQ Manager.
Kyocera offers IPv6 compliant network interface, an optional Data Security Kit for hard disk drive overwrite and encryption, PrintQ Manager Secure Job Release and Secure Printing, and Custom Box for users all of which are password protected document security features.
In addition, the new 520i/420i models deliver cross-platform compatibility, connecting to any environment including Windows, Mac and Linux, with the drivers, tools, utilities and software options to optimise workflow, the company said.
