Copystar’s powerhouse multifunctional device, the Copystar CS-1820, operates print and copy operations at impressive speeds, and can also utilize an implemented fax modem for rapid faxing as well. This network ready device can have an entire office linked to a single four in one unit, making it an efficient way to add multiple, high powered functions to any number of computers using a single device.
At 18 pages per minute print speeds, the Copystar CS-1820 remains competitive with multifunctional units on the market today, even at its old age of five years. Part of the comprehensiveness overall built in to this unit is a standard network controller for printing and scanning that allows the quickest possible network setup, which means you’ll have your office utilizing the power of your investment in no time at all.
A built in Super G3 fax modem transmits faxes with speeds of as quick as 3 seconds per page, which makes it still one of the fastest fax machines on the market. While many printers today that are equipped with PC Fax are limited to send only desktop usage, the Copystar CS-1820’s incorporated programming allows for network faxing with all the features found in the unit itself, including broadcasting, and even access to the on board address book.
Though the Copystar CS-1820 is a monochrome unit, and can produce hard copies exclusively in black and white due to its laser technology, full color scanning is fully functional with the device. With resolutions of up to 600 dots per inch, hard copies can be converted digitally, directly from the unit to your desktop, in JPEG or PDF formats for color scans, and TIFF for black and white.
A scan to e mail feature also allows the user to scan data directly into an e mail file without ever leaving the device. Scan to Folder, or Scan to FTP options allow users easy file management via the network server management block.
As a stand alone copy machine, the Copystar CS-1820 performs outstandingly, offering six different imaging modes and auto magnification and reduction, all at crisp image qualities. With the help of a huge paper storage supply, hundreds of copies can be made without constant paper refill hassles. A 250 sheet document tray comes standard, and an additional 250 sheet tray is available to be purchased separately for businesses with very high copy and print output demands. Along with a convenient 50 sheet capacity multifunctional tray which can be used for auto processing special media types, the stock paper capacity tops out at 300 sheets but, with additional storage, the total potential paper capacity comes to 550 sheets.
With a rapid warm up time of 20 seconds, the Copystar CS-1820 boasts quick first print speeds of only 8 seconds, and a first copy speed of only 9.5 seconds. An optional 50 sheet document processor can also be added on to the unit, increasing its already powerful specifications even higher. The Copystar CS-1820 is designed for an office of almost any size, or even a home business, that has a demand for many comprehensive functions incorporated into a single unit.
