DEVELOP launches printer trio: ineo 222/282/362
Thursday 19. March 2009 - Focus on environment friendliness and security
As the “hard” features of office printers become increasingly interchangeable, “soft” factors take on a greater significance. In a networked office environment no two “soft” factors are more important than environmental friendliness and data security. Here, the new monochrome printer trio from DEVELOP, the ineo 222/282/362, have a lot to offer. All three printers have an excellent environmental profile and are strong on data security.
Barbara Prudel, the product manager responsible for the ineo 222/282/362, outlines the printers environmental profile: “Sound environmental principles were applied in their design, for example in the materials selected, the manufacturing process itself and the environment-friendly way the printers can ultimately be disposed of. They are also economical on power and the standard duplex function can greatly reduce paper consumption. The printers environmental profile has been recognised by several ecological awards such as Energy Star and Blue Angel.”
Secure in a networked office
In a networked office environment there is always a danger that confidential documents may get into the wrong hands. To prevent that from happening, the ineo 222/282/362 comes with a number of data security functions. The system can be configured to permit user authentication and IP filtering. In this way, access to sensitive data, e.g. financial, legal or personnel documents, can be restricted to authorised users. The systems hard disk can be protected by a password and equipped with data-encryption functions. At an individual user level it is possible to password-protect the box that provides every user with individual storage space in the systems hard disk. These features ensure that networked print data are maintained at a similar level of data security to that of individual PCs.
Professional-quality output and finishing
These printers “soft” strengths certainly do not come at the expense of conventional “hard” features such as output quality or finishing. Here, the ineo 222/282/362 delivers professional-quality output, irrespective of whether it is used as a printer, copier, scanner or fax. The systems ineo controller processes files fast and prints or copies at 22, 28 or 36 A4 pages per minute, depending on whether the ineo 222, 282 or 362 is chosen. Thanks to the polymerised toner all three models use, the quality of the output is excellent. Users can expect crisp, clear, contrast-rich text and outline-sharp images. All three printers can be supplied with a variety of finishing options such as brochure-making, corner stapling, punching and criss-cross sorting. The advantage is that documents can be printed or copied and then finished in-house.
All-in document production solution
The ineo 222/282/362 is designed to meet all the document needs of an accounts, order processing or HR department because its printing and copying qualities are matched by state-of-the-art scanning and faxing functionality. The scan to e-mail function, for example, enables scanned documents to be transmitted direct to a recipients e-mail address. Users can also scan to and print in and out of their optional password-protected box if documents are not required immediately. Documents stored in the box are ready for reprinting at any time, without the need to reopen the document on the users PC.
Designed for easy operatability
The ineo 222/282/362 can be seamlessly integrated into any network environment – Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix or Citrix. The fact that these printers use the same driver as all other ineo systems also facilitates device administration. The printers easy operatability is demonstrated, for example, by their LDAP capability and the large and clearly designed operating panel. Office users will find the menu architecture and navigation system easy to follow. Since the main operating functions can be directly selected, no time is wasted when operating the device.
All in all, the ineo 222/282/362 is ideally suited to meeting all the document production requirements of a busy office department or workgroup.
