New Samsung CLP-770ND from Tarsus set to be the ultimate in snappy office assistants PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 10 March 2010 06:57
Tarsus Technologies has announced the local availability of Samsung’s CLP-770 colour laser printer, designed to deliver economical high performance colour printing and maximum user productivity for SMBs and corporate workgroups.
At the forefront of the CLP-770ND’s benefits is the fact that it delivers professional-grade colour laser printing while simultaneously minimising operational costs.
“This printer will give your business the performance boost it needs” says Levina de Matos, Samsung product manager at Tarsus, “and does so at a price that’s just right.”
Offering a performance level of 32ppm for both colour and mono printouts, de Matos says the CLP770ND will get the job done much quicker than competing models.
“Processing time is also impressive at 11 seconds, offering an attractive time to first page over its market peers,” she says,
Despite its superior speed print and processing times, de Matos is quick to assure that the CLP-770ND doesn’t compromise on delivery.
“Even at its impressive print speed, the 770 delivers high-resolution 9600dpi printing effortlessly and along with duplex printing options, a number of paper-handling options, and support for PS3, PCL5 and PCL6 technology, ensures your documents print perfectly every time.”
Even though the CLP-770ND has a 120,000 maximum monthly duty, de Matos points out that it is still best suited to the SMB and corporate workgroup markets.
“That said, however, this printer is such a hard worker, it’s likely to perform just fine in more demanding environments,” she adds.
For this express reason, de Matos says that an optional 80GB hard disk drive and another 256MB of RAM can be added to the mix, helping to reduce network congestion, optimise print job storage and speed up the processing of larger print jobs.
“Customers can also add a wireless network option (802.11b/g) to the printer and bring a new level of convenience to their print environment,” de Matos continues.
“And if they’re concerned about the security of certain print jobs, this printer has those worries covered,” de Matos assures.
“Samsung’s secure encryption solution delivers end-to-end protection, utilising a smart card and universal driver to ensure confidential information doesn’t slip into the wrong hands,” she says.
“Lastly,” de Matos says, “not only is this printer an efficient work assistant, it’s environmentally friendly too.
“The CLP-770ND is both part of the Samsung Take Back and Recycle (“S.T.A.R”) program and is ENERGY-star compliant, meaning it has less environmental impact and saves the user money in the process.
“Customers truly get more than they bargained for with this printer and we’re convinced it will be met with a high-level of enthusiasm in the market,” de Matos concludes.
