I scan everywhere, man!

August 19, 2009:Kyocera Mita has introduced two new multifunctional printers (MFPs) that offer several standard scanning destinations, including Scan-to-E-mail, Scan-to-PC, Scan-to-FTP, Scan-to-USB and TWAIN scanning.

With enhanced scanning capabilities in resolutions ranging from 200-600 dpi, the FS-1128MFP and FS-1028MFP come with a standard 50-sheet reverse automatic document processor that can scan up to 35 images per minute (300dpi; A4, Black and white and up to two 250-sheet paper drawers can be installed for a maximum input of 800 sheets.

In both MFPs, the toner is the only item which needs to be replaced periodically and the drum unit every 100,000 pages. They are supplied with a standard duplex function, which, when used consistently, can considerably reduce paper use.

The FS-1028MFP includes standard network printing, copying and colour scanning capabilities; while the FS-1128MFP also includes fax capabilities.

The FS-1128MFP and FS-1028MFP support a variety of network and device management tools, including KMnet Admin and KMnet Viewer. These two devices include PDF Direct Print capability; a software utility that allows users to send PDF files directly to the device.

A front-loading USB Host Interface provides Print-from and Scan-to capabilities in PDF, TIFF and XPS file formats. This interface makes it easier to work between electronic files and hard copy without a computer.

Standard network printing includes a PowerPC440/667 MHz processor and 1200 dpi print resolution. The FS-1128MFP and FS-1028MFP support multiple page description languages, including Kyocera’s PRESCRIBE, PCL 6 (XL, 5e), KPDL3 (PS3) and XPS, and can be connected in any Windows, Mac or Linux environment.

The FS-1128MFP is $A1538.90 incl. GST and the FS-1028MFP $A1428.90 incl. GST.
