Gestetner Dsc-424 - Color Copy Machine With Ardf

On the occasion that your business requires not only color printing and copying capabilities, but demands it in mass quantities as well, the only viable option is an industrial level color copy machine such as the Gestetner DSc-424. Though operating costs and overhead of these machines runs very steep, when massive color output is a must, there is no other option.

Running at an acceptable 24 pages per minute print speed in black and white, and a less acceptable 10 pages per minute in color, the Gestetner DSc-424 is not the industry leader in speed. It does, however, offer corporate level features and hardware expandability options that make it one of the more powerful copy machines on the market.

As a network ready printer, the Gestetner DSc-424 offers not only copy abilities, but total access for an entire office to high speed color or monochrome printing, as well as faxing and scanning. Thanks to Gestetners Refined Print Command Stream (RPCS), icon based print menus make navigation through even the most extensive and complicated of projects easy, and error free. Adobe Post Script 3 also assists in heightening work performance in complex projects.

Scanning options are extensive, and network ready. Color or black and white images have the option of being scanned directly to e mail with the help of dedicated controls selectable via an oversized LCD screen. The systems local address book can contain up to 2,000 e mails for instant data transfer to literally thousands of computers. With the power of an automatic reversing document feeder available for purchase separately, input material can not only be fed through the machine in quantities of up to fifty at a time, but they can also be flipped mechanically for automatic two sided scanning. The 50 sheet ARDF can also be utilized for double sided copies in color or black and white.

Via oversized hardware, the Gestetner DSc-424 can handle paper of up to huge 12 x 18 inch pieces and an incredibly thick 90 lb thickness in weight. Regardless of paper size, one of two optional finishers can automate the tedious task of stapling, reducing user involvement drastically. A 500 sheet finisher that can staple and stack projects up to 30 pages deep is available or, for super heavy duty staple needs, a 1,000 sheet capacity finisher is also optional and can manage staple sets up to 50 pages thick.

Paper handling comes standard with two 250 sheet trays for letter and legal sized paper, and a 100 sheet capacity bypass tray for media such as envelopes and transparencies. Buyers then have the choice between two additional 500 sheet paper banks, or a 2,000 sheet large capacity tray. The output tray holds up to 500 sheets on its own when a finisher is not incorporated into the system.

With 768 MBs of RAM standard shared memory, along with a 40 GB hard drive, storage capacity is seemingly limitless for the Gestetner DSc-424, making it one of the most fully loaded color copy machines available today.
