Power in printing

Are desktop printers really such a good idea in workgroup environments? You print a document on a basic desktop device but have to head for the nearest copier if you need numerous copies for a meeting. And which desktop printer offers you A3, offset sorting or watermarking? To meet these needs, a digital copierprinter such as the new Di152 or Di183 is a much more sensible document output solution.

Superior laser imaging

Laser printing offers significant advantages over the alternatives often used in small workgroups or home offices. The Di152 and Di183 bring you, for example, the benefit of high-resolution printing at 600 x 600 dpi. Charts or graphics are printed with 256 halftones, thus ensuring that all the shades of an original are reproduced with great accuracy.

Intelligent printing

One of the key advantages of digital printing is the time it saves you a key factor in business today where time is in such short supply. Both the Di152 and Di183 function on the transmit once, RIP once, print many principle. What this means in practice is that the data from your PC only need to be transmitted once to the printer and processed once in the printer before as many documents as you need are printed out at 15 or 18 ppm, respectively.

Efficient job separation

An optional feature of either system ensures one print or fax and one copy job can be clearly separated. As a result, you dont need to waste time sorting your way through pages and pages of output. Two separate output trays make sure you find your job right away.
Easy network printing Simple network administration
Both these multi-tasking systems can be equipped with an ultra-fast Ethernet card to serve as network printers in Windows environments. With every workgroup PC enjoying access to an efficient and fast communication centre, you no longer need a desktop printer for each workplace. Whats more, the printer drivers are designed for ease of operation, effective control of print output and PCL support from each individual PC in the workgroup environment.
Minoltas PageScope software makes administration of a networked environment easier. The practical benefits are that printer drivers can be installed straight onto individual PCs, all networked devices easily monitored and the daily print volume quickly analysed. The IT manager will also receive e-mail notification of any serious faults or malfunctions and can set-up identical devices simultaneously from his workplace.

How you benefit

No time wasted sorting through output One printer per workgroup in Windows environments No problems with networking

Quality in copying

Copiers small enough for workgroup use are frequently far too slow and lack the more sophisticated functions needed in todays fast-moving business world. But now Minolta offers you the choice of two fast and functional A3 copiers designed for workgroup use.
Sophisticated digital copying

Time-saving image memory

Digital technology not only takes the effort out of copying, it also gives you more scope for creative work. For example, you can use the positive-negative mode to turn white areas into black ones, or vice versa. If originals are rather dark, the advantage is that copies will be easier to read and toner consumption is cut.

Once originals have been scanned and stored in the system memory, you can access the data to produce copies as often as you want. You can even rotate the scanned data through 90 to ensure copies are produced the right way round whichever paper tray you choose.
Versatile offset finishing (optional)
Gone are the days of analogue-style sorting trays with their quantity and capacity limits. The advantage of these systems offset or criss-cross sorting functions is that individual copy sets are clearly separated. This sorting solution is also ideal for cramped offices because copy sets are sorted on an internal output tray so there is no need for protruding trays.

Offset sorting

Criss - cross sorting
Better copy quality Scan once, copy as you like Clearly sorted output
Versatility in communication
Despite the increasing use of e-mails in communicating with customers, no workgroup however small can afford to be without a fax machine. But as fewer documents are faxed these days, does a stand-alone fax machine still make business sense? The fax facility is specifically designed to give small workgroups or home offices intelligent and economical faxing functions.

Innovative i-faxing

Both machines have an optional Internet fax function ( i-fax ) so you can fax documents around the world at the cost of a local call simply by using the Internets data lines. The advantage is that no service provider is required. The only precondition is an i-fax machine at the other end.
Convenient e-mail alternative

Faxable flatbed scans

3-D objects of up to A3 format, e.g. books, can be scanned in via the platen glass and then faxed straightaway. So you dont have to make copies of 3-D originals first.

Convenient fax gateway

Both systems enable you to save time and money in transmitting hardcopy originals. Providing the recipient has an e-mail address, you can send such originals directly as e-mails with no need to attach them first. Another convenient feature of both systems is that job-specific lists can be merged from e-mail and fax lists.
Since you can fax straight from your desktop, you dont need to print out documents first and also save yourself a walk to the fax to check whether your fax has actually been received. The confirmation message will appear on the screen of your PC.

Faxing from PC Worldwide faxing at local-call rates Hard-copy originals as e-mail attachments
Sophistication in scanning
Why should anyone invest in a stand-alone scanner when the new Di152 and Di183 from Minolta are equipped with a high-resolution laser scanner and 50-page automatic document feeder?

Easy automatic feeding

In contrast to conventional flatbed scanners, these two systems have an automatic feeding function. With up to 50 pages automatically fed in at 15 (Di152) or 18 (Di183) pages per minute, you wont need to waste time feeding in a document sheet after sheet.
Economical scan to PC/FTP
Documents can be scanned in through your PC or any other networked PC so workgroups or even entire departments can use this scanning facility and store scans on their own PC or a server
Efficient scan management
Minoltas PageScope Cabinet software enables you to group multiple documents without changing the status of the original file and then convert those grouped documents into PDF files by a simple drag-and-drop operation. Another useful feature, the visual desktop, enables you to find documents quickly by simply searching through thumbnail images of the documents.
50-page auto - feed Network scanning Well organized scan files
Broad choice of configurations
The modular design of the new DiALTA Di152 and Di183 from Minolta gives you a wide variety of configurations so you can choose precisely the machine you need. Customisable configurations highlight the Minolta principle of putting the customer first: what you want is what you get. The diagram shows just how much choice you have with the Di152 and Di183 and if you need any assistance in finding the right configuration, simply get in touch with your local Minolta representative.
