August 6, 2001 - Mobile, AL – MINOLTA-QMS, Inc. today announced the magicolor 2210, the latest addition to its color printer line. The use of color printers is expanding in the business market with color laser printing fast becoming the standard for all offices. The magicolor 2210 combines functionality, value, and ease-of-use to make it a top performer in any office environment. Superseding the magicolor 2200-series, the magicolor 2210 is available immediately for $2,459 (MSRP).

“The new magicolor 2210 extends the magicolor color laser family with a collection of new features that further simplify business printing,” said Steve Fletcher, president of the Americas for MINOLTA-QMS. “The magicolor 2210 draws on the industry-recognized performance and quality of the magicolor 2200 series, adding tools to enhance productivity and ease of use.”

Proven Performance

The magicolor 2210 offers the same award-winning performance and quality output that made the original magicolor 2200 series successful. It prints up to five color pages and 20 black-and-white pages per minute, includes a built-in Ethernet network interface for network connectivity, and operates using the patented Crown® III printer architecture for the quickest possible throughput and printing.

The 2210 includes PostScript 3, as well as PCL 6 and PDF emulations for broad application support, and has user-friendly drivers for conveniently selecting printing options. For easily checking on printer and print job status, the magicolor 2210 has both PageScope™ (for network administrators) and CrownView™ (for all printer users) management software programs. Both are graphical, browser-based programs. Another handy feature of the 2210 is Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) support, a tool that allows users to print to the magicolor 2210 via the Internet.

The magicolor 2210 produces 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution on a variety of print media for impressive business documents—from general reports and letters to presentations and brochures. Automatic Image Calibration insures users excellent, no-hassle color output, everytime.

Versatile for the Growing Business

The magicolor 2210 consists of just one model (2210 GN) that is completely configurable to meet a business' exact specifications. For example, the printer can be outfitted with up to 1,150 sheets of input for higher-volume print jobs or a digital copier/scanner that allows you to make color copies on the printer. An automatic duplexer for full-color, two-sided printing reduces paper costs, and a 5-bin mailbox option sorts print jobs by individual or multiple users.

“The new magicolor 2210 offers enhanced flexibility to meet the growing need for efficient, high-performance color printing in the office,” summarized Fletcher. “Users will discover that the magicolor 2210 offers not only high-quality color printing, but also additional 'convenience' features that will definitely save time and effort.”

Availability

The magicolor 2210 replaces all Crown models of the magicolor 2200 series, including N, GN, EN, and DP models. The award-winning magicolor 2200 DeskLaser, the Windows®-based model of the family, will remain available.
