EGHAM, England, March 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
New LED MFPs provide advanced technology, functionality and flexibility
enabling organisations to take control of their document workflow
OKI Europe Ltd has launched its new range of A4 colour MFPs, the MC700 Series,
building on the company's strong legacy of successful innovation in the B2B market.
These new enterprise-class products provide additional levels of business productivity
through an open platform, offering enhanced workflow integration and document management
across the business. For added flexibility organisations can tailor their device to
achieve the precise configuration they need for optimum print effectiveness.
Over the past 12 months, OKI has added to its SMB offering with a series of products
which have been well-received by micro, small and medium sized business users. As a
result, OKI has increased market share, reinforcing the company's reputation for its
customer-centric approach in providing businesses with reliable, high-quality and
cost-effective print solutions. "Our new portfolio of A4, colour MFPs combine
enterprise-class functionality, security and flexibility with comprehensive document
workflow support," confirms Harry Takahashi, managing director, OKI Europe Ltd. "This will
deliver significant workflow efficiencies and cost savings, as organisations improve the
way documents are handled, managed and processed."
The MC700 Series from OKI, at the heart of business productivity
The MC700 Series comes with an open platform that enables customisation of the user
interface in order to integrate all document-related tasks seamlessly into the
organisation's enterprise document workflow. Benefits include lower costs, together with
improved productivity and efficiencies, as the business is able to move from a manual
paper-based workflow to automated digital flow.
In addition, these devices include software for effective device management tasks such
as remote diagnostics, document output controls including print tracking and
authentication and document retrieval and collaboration.
"Different organisations have diverse priorities," says Takahashi. "Some will focus on
productivity and efficiency gains, whilst others will look to identify and control print
usage or look for an environmentally-friendly solution with low running and maintenance
costs. In each case, OKI's highly flexible range of colour MFPs can be tailored to meet
all these differing demands."
High performance, unrivalled flexibility
The MC700 Series includes the following models:
- MC760, MC770 and MC780 which are available in 2 variants - the standard dn
model and the dfn model which comes with an internal finisher for automated collating
and stapling of documents. An optional convenience stapler is also available to
facilitate post production finishing. All models come with a 23cm, colour, backlit,
LCD touch screen with an intuitive, easy to use control panel.
The MC700 Series delivers print speeds of up to 40ppm and both the scanner and the
print engine are based on OKI's LED technology. Other enterprise-class functionality

capacity 160GB hard drive as standard. These eco-friendly MFPs have advanced security
features including secure PIN printing, data encryption and disk wiping and a secure print

registration of the product within 30 days.
The advanced ergonomic design enables easy access to consumables and offers a wide
variety of configurations, including internal finisher, optional paper trays for flexible
paper capacity and paper feed options.
"In every aspect of the MC700 Series design, our 'no compromise' approach has been to
offer customers ultra-high productivity with the greatest possible flexibility, allowing
our customers to easily configure their print solutions in a way which precisely meets
