OKI Data Americas, which markets its products under the OKI Printing Solutions brand, today announced the launch of the MC560 Letter/A4 color multifunction product (MFP). Offering the best possible value in the Letter/A4 color MFP segment with faster monochrome printing speeds1, better color output quality2 in brilliant HD (high-definition) Color and a lower total cost of ownership than all competitors’ models in its class, the MC560 MFP also features a compact design that will appeal to small-medium workgroups. Serving as a replacement to the current C5550n MFP, the MC560 MFP allows customers to save money and valuable office space, while improving document workflow and increasing the effectiveness of business communications with a single workgroup device.

Highlights of the announcement:

• The MC560 MFP is available at a competitive price point with a compact design, providing small-medium workgroups the opportunity to save money and the valuable office space associated with maintaining multiple devices
• The new MFP features HD Color Technology with class-leading print resolution of 1200 x 600 dpi and superior monochrome print and copy speeds of 323 pages-per-minute (ppm)
• The new MFP improves workgroup performance by consolidating the creation and distribution of documents with one easy-to-use device
• The MC560 MFP consumes less energy than the equivalent number of single-function products, resulting in a reduced impact on the environment

‘In today’s ever changing economy, small to medium size businesses are looking for creative ways to cut costs in all areas without having to sacrifice quality or efficiency,’ said Mike Garofola, Senior Marketing Manager, Color Products at OKI Data Americas. ‘These customers have a wide range of document handling needs and require devices they can depend on to perform a variety of business functions, but without the costly investment. However, having too many single function devices (individual printer, copier, scanner, fax machine) can waste valuable office space and make document workflow too cumbersome. The fast print/copy speeds and premium performance of the MC560 color MFP provides customers with the ability to create impactful, high-quality documents, quickly and efficiently and for less money.’

The MC560 MFP is ideal for users focused on affordability and ease-of-use, with full functionality, reliability, fast print/copy speeds and flexible paper handling that can be shared in networked environments. With multi-tasking capabilities, as a standard added benefit in medium size workgroups, the MC560 MFP replaces the need for individual faxing, printing, copying and scanning devices. By replacing multiple single function devices with the full functioned MC560 MFP, workgroups can also save time, money and energy and help reduce their environmental impact, at the affordable price of $999.

The MC560 A4 color MFP features the following key attributes:

Fast print/copy speeds of 20 ppm color and 32 ppm black-and-white3 to improve office efficiency and maximize small to medium workgroup productivity and performance
Spectacular HD color output and 1200 x 600 dpi print resolution with the flexibility to create world-class business documents on a variety of media with class-leading 48′ banner support
Print, copy, scan and fax capabilities from one space-saving device allows users to easily create and distribute documents while reducing workflow and increasing the effectiveness of business communications

• Compact size/footprint conducive to small to medium work environments
• Multi-tasking functionality allows for more than one function to be performed at one time as well as Dual Access Fax Functionality
• Embedded LDAP functionality allows users to pull e-mail addresses from a corporate address book
• User-level authentication allows for e-mails sent from the MC560 MFP to come from the user, not the device
• Supports Color Access Policy Manager utility from OKI Printing Solutions to control the usage of color printing by user, application, web site, etc.
• Includes standard PaperPort scanning and document management software that turns hardcopy documents into digital content and Omnipage OCR software that converts files into editable electronic documents
• Consumes less energy than the equivalent number of single-function products, resulting in a reduced impact on the environment
• Increased capacity for both black and color toners. Black toner yield is 8,000 pages and Color toner yield is 6,000 pages (Declared yield in accordance with ISO 19798). See what these cartridges cross reference to.

Office Depot, Over Charging for Supplies?

Is this a disgruntled employee, or is there a hidden truth? Personally, we think this is a big company still trying to figure out their pricing model. Even the better reason to try our Office Supplies Price Comparison tool, it compares Office Depot Prices to Office Max…Now, Straight from the the Detroit News. Plus some other findings regarding Office Depot over charging our governments are here.

Ex-Office Depot employee alleges Detroit Public Schools overcharged for supplies Worker alleges price fixing scheme, but the Office Depot disputes the claim.
Jennifer Mrozowski / The Detroit News

Detroit — Detroit Public Schools is looking into allegations by a fired Office Depot employee who said the district is being overcharged as part of a massive price fixing scheme.

David Sherwin, a former senior account manager with Office Depot, alleges that the company manipulated pricing on products that government agencies bought through the U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance.

“Nationally, the overcharging amounts are somewhere in the range of $100 million annually to between 4,000 and 5,000 agencies around the country,” Sherwin said.

An Office Depot spokesman said the DPS has been buying supplies through the program since 2003.

“We are not aware of any complaints from Detroit Public Schools regarding overcharging,” Jason Shockley said, denying the allegations.

Sherwin said Office Depot overcharges entities that use the company’s Web site. He said the pricing manipulation resulted in overcharges of 5 percent and 10 percent of total annual purchases.

Sherwin said he tried to contact the DPS at least 15 times over eight months and received no response. He also contacted the Michigan Attorney General’s Office within the past few weeks but has received no response, he said.

Following a reporter’s inquiry, the DPS’ new inspector general, John E. Bell, called Sherwin and requested more information.

“I thought it was something we ought to take a look into immediately,” Bell said.

Attorneys general in Florida and Missouri are investigating allegations of Office Depot overcharging state and local agencies. Last year, the North Carolina state auditor found the company overcharged state agencies by about $294,000, and Nebraska’s auditor found the state was “paying too much for office supplies because of serious pricing errors and overcharges” through its contract with Office Depot.

The amount of the DPS contract was not available Monday.

Office Depot considers Sherwin a disgruntled ex-employee; he confirmed he was fired after sending an angry e-mail to the company’s chief executive officer.

So when was the last time you sent an e-mail to a CEO to tell them how pissed you were?
