Published 19th June 2008

Muratec, the multifunction specialist company, has launched the MFX-2050 multifunctional system. The MFX-2050 has an output speed of 19 prints a minute and has network scan, print, copy (including auto duplex copying) and fax functionality. As the MFX-2050 features Muratec’s groundbreaking NGP (Network Gateway Platform) technology it provides an ‘out-of-the-box’ solution for network connectivity. Muratec NGP multifunctionals are DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) compliant so they can automatically install and configure themselves onto a network...

The MFX-2050 is easy to use because it features a large backlit touchscreen, providing an easy, intuitive means of delivering digital documents to network folders, e-mail addresses or FTP sites. For scanning to folder the screen makes it easy to select the correct folder. Muratec NGP technology allows the MFX-2050 to colour scan to network, FTP, e-mail and colour print file. A standard QWERTY keyboard on the display allows users to enter e-mail addresses quickly and enables custom file names to be attached to documents.

To make retrieval of scanned documents easier the MFX-2050 has a ScanTag facility so that users can enter metafile to be attached to the document file for document archiving systems. For improved security the MFX-2050 also features Secure PDF allowing documents scanned as PDFs to have a security password added as they are scanned so that the recipient has to enter the password to open and view the file.

As standard the MFX-2050 can be used as a networked GDI computer printer with colour scanning facility, a PCL5e/6 print controller option is also available. Copy and print resolution is 600 by 600 dpi using LED print technology for high quality copy output.

Because network security is of increasing concern, the MFX-2050 has a number of security and access controls. A secure print feature means that the MFX-2050 will not output a secure print job until a user enters a PIN number at the control panel, preventing unauthorised access. A network administrator can also set up access controls based on PIN entry so users only have access to authorised functions, preventing general access to faxing, printing and so on.

For copying the MFX-2050 has an 80 sheet ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) with auto-duplex for double sided copying and printing as standard, saving time and paper. The MFX-2050 has a 500 sheet A4 paper drawer as well as a 50 sheet bypass facility. An optional 500 sheet paper drawer can be added to give a total paper capacity of 1,050 sheets. Paper up to A4 in size and 128gsm in weight can be used with the MFX-2050. The flexible MFX-2050 will automatically highlight when consumable items are due for replacement before they run out for timely ordering.

The MFX-2050 has a 33.3k bps modem for fast two second per page fax transmission. ITU-T Super Group 3 standard is supported with JBIG compression. The broadcast fax facility can be used for
