But basic A4 documents printed at up to 27ppm, with multiple copies produced at very close to the claimed engine maximum. Of course some documents are only available as hard copies. So, unlike earlier Mopiers, the 320 also comes with a Fujitsu scanning module, which attaches to the system via a plug-in FireWire interface. The Mopier 320 can also scan in single documents via a conventional flatbed, and there is an integrated LCD screen that provides copier-like controls to copy direct to the printer, to reduce and enlarge the image, for example, or to enhance it. In IT Week Labs we easily scanned and printed multiple copies at close to the claimed maximum engine speed.
Users get more than just straightforward network printing.
The proof and hold option, for example, prints the first copy of a document and holds remaining copies until the proof has been approved. Duplexing is built in and extra paper sources can be added to increase capacity to 3100 sheets and 100 envelopes. A number of mailbox sorters can be tacked on, to automatically collate finished work, with a built-in stapler another optional extra. Finally the scanning unit can be mounted above the main print engine, and the whole lot made free-standing, just like a conventional photocopier. The first Mopier to incorporate a built-in document scanner.
