Customers benefit from workflow interoperability, sustainability and
productivity enhancements
CHICAGO, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Oce, a global leader in digital
document management and delivery, announces the next generation of its
award-winning Oce VarioPrint(R) family, the industry's most productive
single-pass digital duplex printers. The latest version of this unique
product line offers significant advancements in workflow management and
interoperability, sustainability and productivity. Demonstrating the Oce
commitment to investment protection, the "next generation" capabilities are
available as a software upgrade for all VarioPrint 6000 printers, including
current customers.
"With this new generation, we continue building on the success of the
award-winning Oce VarioPrint 6250," said Jan Dix, Executive Vice President,
Oce Digital Document Systems. "The latest release of this revolutionary
product family features numerous enhancements that help our customers
further improve productivity to take their businesses beyond the ordinary."
Expanded Interoperability Complements Workflow Automation
With newly expanded workflow automation and interoperability
capabilities, workflow can be structured for maximum productivity.
Customers can direct existing applications to an Oce VarioPrint 6000 system
without workflow interruption or reprogramming, enabling Oce systems to
easily co-exist with or replace other systems in mixed environments. A new
PDL and job ticket architecture offers a wider range of PDL/ticket
combinations, and extended ticket support contributes to more effortless
workflow. Customers gain versatility to organize print production based on
scheduling and customer requirements. Users can define up to 10 customized
print queues, and multiple jobs can be bundled and printed as one set.
Environmental Sustainability Remains a Strong Focus
Environmental sustainability has been a defining philosophy at Oce for
more than 50 years, and the company remains committed to reducing ozone,
dust and toner emissions and minimizing waste and to improving working
conditions for operators. The Oce VarioPrint 6000 family is the most recent
example of sustainable Oce products. With Oce Gemini Instant Duplex
printing and efficient single-pass technology, paper, toner and energy are
used more economically in Oce VarioPrint 6000 printers. The high level of
productivity of the Oce VarioPrint 6250 system enables consolidation of
installed devices and provides significant advantages, either as a
standalone device or in groups of devices.
Compared to major installations of competitive cut-sheet duplex
systems, the Oce VarioPrint 6250 system consumes up to 45 percent less
energy to print than competitive cut-sheet systems, helping customers save
thousands of dollars per year in energy costs. With Oce Gemini Instant
Duplex technology, VarioPrint systems emit only a fraction of the ozone of
comparable high-volume cut-sheet devices. The printers do not require a
toner waste bottle, as they efficiently use all available toner,
eliminating waste and its environmental impact. As an ENERGY STAR partner,
Oce is deeply committed to products that meet the program's guidelines, and
the next-generation Oce VarioPrint 6000 products are fully ENERGY STAR
compliant with wattage actually 35 percent below ENERGY STAR requirements.
Enhancements Drive Greater Productivity and Usability
Known for its user-friendly operation, the Oce VarioPrint 6000 family
now includes enhancements to drive productivity even further. A
60,000-sheet roll feeder boosts input capacity, while a third high-capacity
stacker brings output capacity to a maximum of 22,000 sheets, further
extending the platform's reputation for heavy duty production and long
periods of unattended printing.
Operators and managers gain better queue management and real time
production status via remote view through a PC or handheld device. Another
example of improved usability is that the Oce VarioPrint 6000 family has
adopted the award-winning Oce-developed OCEAN Interface with its intuitive
information and system management. The highly intuitive operation is more
accessible to operators of all skill levels.
The Oce VarioPrint 6000 family contains several features that comply
with the requirements of Section 508 and make the equipment and digital
technology easier to use and more accessible to people with disabilities.
These features include components like screens and stackers that can
accommodate different height requirements and devices that can automate
certain physical tasks, such as emptying the stacker.
The next generation VarioPrint 6000 versions are expected to be
available in November 2007.
