Out-of-the-box thinking, out-of-the-box. That’s the philosophy behind the new MFX-1430 and MFX-1430D from Muratec, the first segment 1 multifunctional devices built on the Network Gateway Platform (NGP).

These new NGP-enabled devices are anything but run-of-the-mill, they are complete print, copy and digital document delivery solutions for your workgroup.

From the moment the power is turned on these machines are hard at work. DHCP compliance will install these devices on your network in seconds, eliminating the hassle of manual entry. The standard high-speed Ethernet connection will have you delivering color or monochrome documents to network folders, remote e-mail inboxes and/or FTP sites, all at the touch of the button.

The Ethernet connection also enables network printing, for up to 50 users, as well as remote machine maintenance via the intuitive OfficeBridge browser interface.

The MFX-1430 series brings the copying functionality of a “copy room clogger” into the workgroup. The new Card Copy mode enables you to scan a two-sided object, such as an insurance card or driver’s license, and produce both sides on a single sheet. The legal-sized flatbed scanner is perfect for those quirky objects or media that are not appropriate for the 80-sheet automatic document feeder.

And it just wouldn’t be a Muratec without high-speed, reliable faxing on board. The 33.6 Kbps fax modem allows you to send documents via the “virus-free” telephone line to traditional walk-up fax terminals. We even include standard faxing from the desktop or via the Internet, offering both convenient and cost-effective fax solutions.

But can you, the non computer-geek, actually use these devices? With the standard touchscreen interface anyone in the office can perform all of the scanning, faxing and copying capabilities that the NGP devices enable. The thoughtful design is easy-to-navigate, in many cases offering one-touch job initiation.

These devices will not only make you more efficient, they can save you money too! The industry-leading cost-of-operation can dramatically reduce consumable costs and duplex output capabilities (MFX-1430D) can produce two-sided print, copy and fax jobs that reduce paper consumption. And let’s not forget that all of the connectivity capabilities come standard on both devices, meaning they do not require the addition of any expensive hardware or software connectors.
