All You Need to Launch Your Office

into the Digital Age

P

anasonic is ushering in the millennium with a

bilities of a state-of-the-art Super G3 fax. Hooked up
revolutionary concept in document processing.
Introducing WORKiO 150—a series of new-generation
imaging systems born from the convergence of
cutting-edge digital technologies, combined with the
unrivaled manufacturing expertise and vast accu­mulated experience of an electronics leader.
WORKiO 150 systems centralize office imaging
tasks, acting as interfaces between hard documents
and transmittable, storable electronic data. Depend­ing on the specific WORKiO 150 model you choose,
it can integrate the functions of a digital
copier with the communications capa-

to your personal computer, it becomes a professional-

quality laser printer, plus a high-resolution scanner.

And to control all these advanced functions, top-of-

the-line WORKiO 150 systems come bundled with

PDMS (Panasonic Document Management System)

software for easy editing and annotation.

The Compact, All-In-One Docum

Panasonic Document
Management System

Bundled PDMS (Panasonic Document Management System)
software1 lets you view scanned documents in thumbnail type

displays, and allows easy edit­ing and annotation. When you
scan a document from the
DP-150PA or DP-150FX into
your PC, PDMS converts it into
image data (compatible with

TIFF, JPEG, BMP
and PNG formats).
You can then drag­and-drop the icons
for editing or an­notation. You can

also drag-and-drop
the icons to buttons on the toolbar which allow you to link to
printing or other applications.

15 Copies-Per-Minute Speed

Thanks to a high-speed digital image processing system
and newly designed shorter paper feed path, WORKiO
150 models can produce up to 15 copies per minute.

2-Sided Copying

To further eliminate paper waste and cut down on document
volume, the DP-150FX lets you copy on both sides of a letter­size page.

Digital Sky Shot

Panasonic’s unique Digital Sky
Shot, available on the DP-150A,
DP-150PA and DP-150FX, al­lows you to make copies of small
or odd-shaped originals with the
platen cover open, without creat­ing a surrounding black background.

Electronic Sorting Output

Electronic sorting allows easy collating and sorting without
adding an extra multi-bin sorter unit.

30-Sheet Automatic Document Feeder

You can load an ADF­equipped WORKiO with
legal-size or letter-size
documents up to 30 pages
long for automatic feeding
and scanning.

Clear 600 x 600 dpi Resolution, 256-Level Gray Scale

Using full digital processing and a laser-beam diode to
maintain high-stability image reproduction, as well as
quick exposure operation, WORKiO 150 models deliver
600 dpi printout resolution for extremely sharp, crisp
copies. Even halftone photo originals can be reproduced
with maximum clarity thanks to 256-level halftone digital
gray scale circuitry.

2-IN-1 Paper Saving Function

This unique function helps reduce paper usage by allowing
you to automatically fit two reduced-size originals on a
single copy page.

600 dpi High Scanning Resolution

Scanning resolution is selectable among 6002, 400, 300, 200
and 100 dpi. You can use 100 or 200 dpi scanning when you
want to lighten your image data load, and high resolution
600 dpi scanning when you want your ultimate printout to be
as sharp and detailed as possible.

TWAIN Compatible Driver

The scanner driver incorporated into the DP-150PA and
DP-150FX is TWAIN compatible to ensure easy connection to
your existing PC and its applications.

Professional-Quality 600 x 600 dpi Print Resolution

In the printer mode, the DP-150PA and DP-150FX deliver
high-resolution 600 x 600 dpi laser printing—assuring
smooth, clean, high-quality documents that make your busi­ness look its best.

Status Monitor

A status monitor appears on
the screen of a connected PC
to notify user when the toner
cartridge needs replacement,
or the paper cassette is empty.

2-Sided Printing

The DP-150FX can be set to print on both sides of a letter-size
page to conserve paper and reduce document bulk.

33.6kbps Super G3 Transmission,
3 Seconds-Per-Page Transmission Speed

The DP-150FX’s Super G33 fax modem uses ITU-T V.34 com­pliant technology to transfer a high-quality image in as few as
three seconds4.

Super-Fine Resolution

During fax communications, the DP-150FX has a scanning re­solution equivalent to 400 x 400 dpi, allowing you not only to
receive documents transmitted in the Super Fine mode, but to
send Super Fine transmissions as well.

Dual Access Operation

With the DP-150FX, you can receive fax documents even when

the machine is already engaged in a copying job.

Check & Call Function

Developed in order to ensure a quicker service response, this
unique function automatically reports low toner status and
certain mechanical problems to a service center5.

Easy, Space Saving and
Environmentally Friendly

Compact, Wingless Design

WORKiO 150 models are amaz­ingly compact and lightweight,
sitting easily on the corner of a
desk. All feature a unique wing­less design that enables docu­ments to collect inside an inter­nal opening, rather than onto a
protruding external tray. An easy-to-access front-loading cas­sette makes replacement of paper simple and quick.

100-Station Autodialer

You can store up to 100 numbers in the DP-

150FX’s telephone directory for rapid access.

Remote Diagnostics System

If a problem should occur, the fax-equipped DP-

150FX immediately sends an error message via

phone lines to a Panasonic service center for

quick diagnosis and troubleshooting, minimizing

downtime5.

TONER SAVE Mode

TONER SAVE mode maximizes toner yield and minimizes
waste, ensuring extremely stable copy quality over an extended
period, while minimizing toner consumption.

ENERGY SAVER Mode

Thanks to a Super Power Saver function, WORKiO 150 models’
power consumption is dramatically reduced in the sleep mode.

WORKiO 150 Series products proudly display the
Energy Star label, the symbol for energy efficiency.

Easy-to-replace toner cartridges boast a long service life
of approximately 5,000 pages.

A front-loading 250-sheet paper
cassette is standard, and an
additional 250-sheet cassette is
optionally available to expand
total paper capacity.
