Kyocera Mita Introduces the KM-3035 / KM-4035 / KM-5035 Series of Multi-Functional Imaging Products
Enhanced Capabilities, Features and Reliability Bring an Affordable Option
to Workgroup Environments
Fairfield, New Jersey, September 16, 2003 - Kyocera Mita, one of the
world's leading document imaging companies, has launched three new high
performance, multifunctional digital products, the KM-3035 / KM-4035 /
KM-5035. These devices are a new generation of MFP that combine network
printing and scanning, copying and faxing with exceptional reliability,
superior image quality and an affordable price.
"By incorporating Kyocera Mita's user-friendly technology, including our
universal KX print driver, and our versatile print, copy, scan and fax
features, organizations will be able to use the new devices as powerful
tools for all of their day-to-day complex applications," said Michael
Pietrunti, vice president, marketing for Kyocera Mita America. "Designed
to economically manage the output demands of fast-paced workgroups, these
cost-effective document solutions can mean significant savings for any
organization, through conserved resources, reduced maintenance and
increased workflow efficiency."
The KM-3035 is a 30 page per minute (ppm) device that features a maximum
monthly volume of 85,000 and a drum life up to 400,000 impressions. The
KM-4035 is a 40-ppm unit with a maximum monthly volume of 120,000 and a
drum that lasts up to 500,000 impressions. Lastly, the KM-5035 provides
users with a maximum monthly volume of 150,000 pages and a drum that yields
500,000 impressions.
All three machines have optional printing and scanning capabilities. When
used for network printing, the devices come standard with 64MB (upgradeable
to 576MB) of RAM. The optional print Hard Disk Drive (HDD) provides
several capabilities, including document printing and e-MPS functions,
private print, job storage, quick copy, proof and hold, and virtual
mailboxes. The optional network print system supports all popular operating
systems and page description languages including PRESCRIBE, PCL6 (PCL XL,
PCL 5e). For enhanced productivity, the PDF Direct Print Utility allows a
user to print PDF files outside of the application and utilize all the
finishing options associated with the MFPs. All three devices include a
standard High Speed USB 2.0 interface for added connectivity.
The KM-3035 / KM-4035 / KM-5035 each come standard with a 3-way, 1200
sheet paper supply (Max. 4,200) and duplex. Optional advanced finishing
and paper handling are also available. All three devices also have the
option of being upgraded with a 20GB HDD. The copier HDD allows onboard
storage of up to 70,000 letter-sized documents.
The network scanning capability is TWAIN compliant, and provides users
with 50 originals per minute scanning (PDF or TIFF, up to 600 dpi, simplex
or duplex) on all three devices. Additionally, the devices offer KM
Document Flow System, a document management system, Scan-to-e-mail with the
LDAP functionality, which allows users to access and search a corporate
e-mail database, and Scan-to-file for Mac and PC.
Network fax capability on the KM-3035 / KM-4035 / KM-5035 includes Super
G3/33.6 Kbps for high-speed delivery of documents. Users can also send and
receive faxes from a desktop, direct incoming faxes to specific folders,
store frequently used destinations, attach cover letters and add messages.
Users also have the option to integrate the KM-3035 / KM-4035 / KM-5035
onto the network with the IB-22 (802.11b) embedded wireless LAN Interface
for all their printing needs. This interface allows users to place the
system where they need it to enhance their floor space design, all without
the cost of running additional network cabling.
Kyocera Mita was recently honored for the second consecutive year in a row
with top ratings in the annual multi-functional product (MFP) survey of
service managers throughout the United States conducted by Industry
Analysts, Inc. Kyocera Mita received the highest supplier rating for MFPs
and scored well above competitors in such categories as reliability,
quality and cost of service.
The KM-3035 / KM-4035 / KM-5035 come with long-life components including
amorphous silicon drums and are backed by the most comprehensive warranty
in the industry. This translates into fewer maintenance calls, more
up-time and increased productivity.
