Panasonic System Networks Company of America today introduced the
KX-MB1500 series of value-priced A4-format Multifunction Printers
(MFPs). Offering fast, high-quality monochrome laser printing and
copying, full-color scan to PC, and paper/paperless faxing(1), the
KX-MB1500 and KX-MB1520 share a slimmed-and-trimmed form factor
that reduces the space and volume needed for installation and
operation by approximately 25 and 40 percent respectively(2).
Both the KX-MB1500 and the step-up KX-MB1520(3) are highlighted
by a reduced-size print engine, an inner paper-exit tray,
front-panel access to consumables such as toner and paper, and a
side-mounted power connector. Taken together, these features
deliver a lightweight (20lb.), small footprint, All-In-One
workhorse which can be installed flat against a wall on a crowded
desk, or upon a shelf, bookcase, or file cabinet.
"According to the most recent Census Department figures, more
than 14 million Americans are currently operating a business from
their homes, with about 4.5 million of them generating 100 percent
of their income from those businesses," Bill Taylor, President,
Panasonic System Networks Company of America, noted. "Even more
surprising, the Census Bureau also reports that the annual median
family income of a home-based business owner is $17,000 higher than
that of the general population working traditional jobs."
"That is a huge, constantly growing market that deserves -- and
is demanding -- office products designed for a business environment
where the kitchen doubles as a conference room and the 'printer
stand' might be one end of a shelf holding balls, bats and skates,"
Taylor added. "With its space-saving design, robust feature set,
and Panasonic durability-by-design build quality, the KX-MB1500
series is the latest example of our commitment to providing Fortune
500-quality office machines to entrepreneurs with small-business
budgets."
Using Panasonic's proprietary Easy Print Utility, a no-cost
software bundled with each KX-MB1500/1520, end users sitting at
their PCs can merge files created in different applications into a
single print job, rearrange the order of pages immediately prior to
sending them to the print queue, and instantly reformat the whole
document to print multiple pages (up to 16(4)) on a single sheet of
paper.
They can also add headers, footers and/or watermarks to their
pages before deciding whether to send the job directly to the
printer or output it as a PDF file.
Featuring a wide reduction/enlargement range of 25-to-400
percent in one-percent increments, the KX-MB1500/1520 offers Quick
ID copying of both sides of small items like driver's licenses and
business cards onto one side of a single sheet of paper. Quick ID
copy reduces paper consumption and simplifies information
management.
Both KX-MB1500 series models also feature Panasonic's
user-friendly four-mode, four-format scanning system. After
positioning a document to be scanned on the platen, all the
operator has to do is select Viewer, File, Email or OCR(5) on the
unit's control panel and start scanning. Once the scan is
completed, the document will automatically open in the appropriate
PC application. For maximum flexibility, KX-MB1500-series MFPs
support scanning in TIFF, JPEG, PDF and BMP formats.
Exclusive features on the KX-MB1520 include: 33.6Kbps faxing via
direct phone line connection, paperless fax sending and receiving
via a USB-connected PC, fax/telephone switch, 100-entry phone book,
and an integrated speaker phone for voice communications with fax
recipients.
