What This Machine Can Do |
All the elements you will ever need in a digital multitasking machine The iR3245/iR3235/iR3230/iR3225 incorporates a rich array of input and output features that can greatly enhance your efficiency. Equipped with features that meet the needs of document work in a digitized office, the iR3245/iR3235/iR3230/iR3225 represents the ultimate in digital multitasking machines. An asterisk (*) indicates functions, which require optional equipment. For information on the optional equipment required to use each function, and the available combinations of optional equipment, see "Optional Equipment."
In addition to normal copying functions, convenient new functions, such as "Sample Set" which helps to avoid copy errors, "Booklet" for making copies into booklets, and "Different Size Originals" for copying originals of different sizes together in one copy operation, are provided to increase your productivity.
The Mail Box function enables you to save document data that has been scanned from the scanner unit or created on a PC. The saved data can be printed at a specified time, or merged with separately saved data or data created on a PC for simultaneous processing.
The Send function enables you to send scanned image or document data to file servers, or send it by e-mail or I-fax. A variety of file formats are supported (PDF, JPEG, TIFF, and XPS), which offer you greater flexibility in accommodating digital workplace environments.
In addition to normal facsimile functions, the machine offers you Super G3 compatibility, which enables you to transmit documents at high speeds, greatly reducing transmission costs as compared to conventional facsimile machines. Scanned documents as well as documents stored in the inbox, and computer data can be sent by facsimile. You can also send documents to multiple addresses and forward received facsimile to another destination.
If the UFR II Printer Kit, UFR II/PCL Printer Kit, PCL Printer Kit, or PS Printer Kit is activated, you can upgrade this machine to a high-speed network printer. Various outputs are also possible when printing, such as 2-sided printing and page alignment. The Direct Printing Kit enables you to print a TIFF, PDF, or XPS without opening the file from your computer, using the Remote UI.
You can control functions, such as confirming the status of the machine, job operations, and printing instructions for data saved in inboxes, all from your PC's Web browser.
The MEAP (Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform) incorporated in the machine enables you to install applications to expand the functions of the machine.
The Network Scan function enables you to use the machine as a conventional scanner. You can scan a document using the machine, and read the data in an application you are using on your computer. You can scan images of up to A3 in size at a resolution of 600 × 600 dpi. * The Network ScanGear software can be installed from the same User Software CD-ROM as the printer driver. For more information on the installation of the Network ScanGear software, see the "Network ScanGear Installation Guide."
You can perform various settings of the machine connected to a network when using utility software. You can perform initial settings, confirm the status of the machine, and manage documents. |
