ATLANTA- Dec. 3, 2001--Lanier Worldwide, Inc. today announced the launch of the Lanier 5622 and 5627 Digital Copier/Printer/Fax/Scan Systems. Designed for high productivity and flexible performance, the 5622 and 5627 offer the features and functions of a high-end digital copier, fast network printer, high-speed fax machine and digital network scanner. "The Lanier 5622 and 5627 deliver everything workgroups need to create, distribute, duplicate and archive professional, high-quality documents,'' said Dominic Pontrelli, Vice President of Marketing for Lanier. "Everyone in the workgroup can use these systems to produce digital copies or prints, send or receive a fax, scan a hardcopy file, and much more. And they can count on superior image quality for every document. "The 5622/27 is also engineered for ease of use, with a touch-screen LCD that guides walk-up users through tasks step-by-step, as well as an intuitive, point-and-click PC interface for accessing these systems over a network. The 5622/27 also can be configured with a hard drive and special software for advanced activities -- like PC faxing, scan to email, network scanning, file merging, document editing and print-on-demand.'' As a digital copier, the 5622/27 produces 22 or 27 digital copies per minute at 600 dpi. Its total paper capacity is 3,100 sheets, which minimizes reloading. Finishing options include three-position stapling, duplexing and sorting, all of which can be used to create professional-quality finished documents. As a network printer, the 5622/27 offers 600 dpi image quality, plus advanced options like two-sided and 2-on-1 combined printing. With the secure printing feature, any job sent to the 5622/27 over the network will be stored in memory until a walk-up user provides the correct password. Job programs allow users to store settings -- like stapling and watermarks -- as an icon on the desktop. Print drivers include conventional PCL or RPCS technology, which processes print jobs faster than many competitive systems. As a network scanner, the 5622/27 enables users to convert hardcopy originals to digital files, then access these files from a PC, send them over the LAN, or send them to any email address outside the network. As a fax system, the 5622/27 scans one page in 0.6 seconds and prints faxes at the full rated speed. Transmission speed is 33.6 kbps, and an optional dual modem allows simultaneous send/receive. Advanced paper handling includes 11" x 17'' send/receive and optional duplex receive, which significantly reduces paper usage.
