MURATEC’S UI PROGRAMME PRODUCES
COMPREHENSIVE PRODUCT RANGE
The groundbreaking MFX-C3400 is a product of Muratec’s Usability
Improvement (UI) R&D programme for the development of the next generation
of Muratec multifunctional imaging systems. The programme has the slogan
‘More User-friendly Products for Everybody’ and aims to develop products that
are easier to use through ergonomic analysis.
The UI programme begins with an analysis of existing products by a group
consisting of specialists in marketing, customer support, product planning
and engineering. The goal is to identify usability improvement. The UI
programme members thoroughly examine potential areas for improvement
by interviewing customers and carrying out on-site tests with some
users. Information gained in the process is used to make all Muratec
products more user-friendly.
The UI R&D programme has allowed Muratec to facelift its entire
product range over the last year with a series of upgraded models,
starting with the entry level 13ppm MFX-1350. The MFX-1350
benefi ts from Muratec’s low Total Cost of Ownership sales policy,
making the operating costs for Muratec fax and multifunctional
systems amongst the most competitive in the market. For example
the MFX-1350 has a 0.75p cost per copy because it uses Muratec’s
new high yield toner (based on six percent document coverage and
two page printing cycle). With a total design life of 300,000 pages the MFX-
1350 is also far more robust than cheaper multifunctionals designed for the
home offi ce rather than commercial use.
The MFX-1350 was followed by the MFX-1450. Featuring Muratec’s
groundbreaking NGP (Network Gateway Platform) technology, the MFX-1450
provides an ‘out-of-the-box’ solution for network connectivity. The MFX-
1450 has auto-duplex for double sided copying and printing as standard,
saving time and paper.
Muratec has also launched two new A3 multifunctionals, the MFX-2225
and MFX-2725, with RADF and the option of Muratec’s Offi ceBridge software.
Offi ceBridge allows the MFX-2225 and MFX-2725 to operate as powerful
network solutions for sharing documents between a workgroup of up to 50
users. Offi ceBridge provides network print, network scan, scan
to e-mail, Internet fax, desktop fax and workfl ow management
functionality all in one simple to use application.
Finally, Muratec recently launched the MFX-2050, an ideal
workgroup multifunctional for small offi ces that also features NGP
technology and DHCP (Dynamic Host Confi guration Protocol)
compliance for automatic installation and confi guration on a network.
The MFX-2050 has received Best Buy status in the latest What To Buy For
Business printer-copier MFP awards. In its description of the Muratec MFX-2050,
the What To Buy For Business report states: “Plenty of good functionality on this
device with print, copy and scan and fax all in a compact A4 footprint. Can be
set up and managed from a web browser. Generous paper handling and low cost
page rates give this model the edge.”
