The first NGP-enabled devices are the F-520 & F-520D, devices that are sure to change your perception of the ?desktop fax machine?. More than your traditional fax machine, this is a true digital document delivery solution that will directly route documents to network folders, e-mail addresses, FTP sites, remote Internet fax terminals or traditional fax machines.
The journey begins when you set your document into the 80-sheet document feeder, one of the largest in this segment. Then utilize the touchscreen ? that?s right, it has a touchscreen ? to select your preferred method of delivery.
If you choose fax, simply enter the destination and press [Start] or select from one of 2000* address book locations. Better yet, utilize the LDAP directory support function to locate your contact from one of 5 corporate directory servers.
If you choose e-mail, enter the recipient?s mail address using the intuitive QWERTY keypad or select from one of 2000* address book locations. Did we mention that each address book location can hold both a fax number and e-mail address, making contact look-up a snap?
If you choose FTP, simply enter the host location or select from one of 20 pre-registered shortcut keys. The color-enabled FTP scan feature is perfect for document storage or for sharing large files over the Internet.
If you choose folder, you will witness one of the coolest methods of network scanning on the market. As opposed to alternative methods, which require the use of scan boxes or clunky interfaces, you can select [Browse] and actual see your network file structure as if you were at your PC. Surf your network until you locate the desired folder and select [Start]. To make life even easier, register frequently accessed folder locations as shortcuts, allowing for future one-touch job initiation.
In addition to these powerful document distribution solutions the F-520 series also comes standard with GDI-based network printing capabilities (up to 50 users), DHCP compliance for quick and easy network installation, convenience copying features (such as digital zoom and image combination) and local printing and scanning via the USB port ? for all you non-networked users out there.
