Introduction
Savin C2525
As the race for office color supremacy heats up, Savin introduced its latest color MFP range, which includes the Savin C2525. This four-in-line imaging system advertises a maximum monochrome and color engine speed of 25 ppm and sports a wealth of new features, improved functionality, and a greatly improved walk up and desktop user experience.
BERTL was granted first access to the Savin C2525 and was immediately impressed by the scope of improvements that have been added to the device.
Savin seems to have addressed virtually all of the hot topics that are driving conversations surrounding office MFP purchasing.
The most immediate change is the large full-color touch screen delivering a walk-up user experience that leaves competing units in its wake. Since time is everything and the MFP is touted as much more than just a copier and printer, an efficient user interface to maximize the functionality of the device without grinding user productivity to a halt is paramount.
While copy, print, and fax functions are all up to the usual feature-rich standard that we expect from Savin, it is in network scanning where the Savin C2525 raises the bar, not only in Savin’s product line, but across the entire industry.
It is a testimony to Savin’s innovation that many of the comments you will find in this report’s “What We Would Like to See” sections are features that no device is currently offering, but are features that are now within the reach of technology that Savin is offering today.
The device is not without its weakness, as you will read within the report, but they are far outweighed by the productivity, functionality and ease-of-use design advantages that have earned this device a 5-star rating from BERTL.

Paper Handling: Paper Input
Savin C2525
Background
Paper handling is a core requirement of every device. If a device cannot create documents a user wants on the paper they need, it does not matter how fast the print engine is, or how
many pages it can produce in a month. Paper handling comes down to three key attributes:
weight, capacity, and size.
Weight
The majority of paper used in the general office is graded between 20 lb. bond/80gsm and 28 lb. bond/105gsm. If a device cannot handle these weights through the main paper sources, users are forced to use the low capacity bypass tray, resulting in a higher user intervention rate.
The straight paper path of the bypass tray lets it handle heavier paper stocks to create business cards, covers for reports, product brochures, menus, tickets, programs and other special documents. Paper weights for this type of job usually start at 90 lb. index/163gsm with business card stocks often higher at 110 lb. index/200gsm.
Capacity
Workgroup desktop printers commonly start with either a 500 or 1,000 sheet capacity plus a bypass tray. Workgroup MFPs usually start with capacities over 1,000 sheets.
Paper comes in reams of 500 sheets. A growing trend is paper trays with capacities greater than 500 sheets, which let users refill trays that are almost empty with an entire ream of paper at a convenient time without waste or risk of overfilling.
A device’s maximum capacity (without increasing the device footprint) depends upon the paper source configuration. Standard paper trays typically are universal or adjustable trays that can accommodate a wide range of paper supplies. Paper upgrade options on some devices include additional universal trays or a high-capacity tandem drawer.
A tandem drawer maximizes letter/A4 capacity by accommodating dual stacks of paper side by side. However, larger-sized paper supplies cannot be loaded. To raise capacity even further, some units can be equipped with a side-mounted large capacity unit These trays are also limited to letter/A4 size paper supplies only.

Size Letter/A4 size paper is used in the majority of day to day business operations. Legal and financial documents often are printed on the longer legal (8.5” x 14”) stock size. As a result, many desktop printers, and some entry-level MFPs reduce production costs by restricting the maximum paper dimensions to legal size.
However, some environments also rely heavily on the larger ledger/A3 sizes for printing spreadsheets, schematics, design layouts, plans, and for copyin g books or magazines.

Reloading Paper Supplies
Loading paper in the Savin C2525 was straightforward. Both paper guides have sliding adjustments that can be adjusted with one hand. Auto paper size detection makes the process of changing media supplies quick and accu­rate.
The locking lever is placed at the rear of the drawer. The handles to each drawer are accessible from both above and below making it easier for users in wheelchairs who may struggle to reach the lowest drawers on some rival units.
The bypass tray is situated to the right of the main engine unit. Paper is fed face down with solid sliding paper guides.
Savin C2525
Paper guides can be adjusted with one hand.
WHAT WE LIKED:
The sliding design (rather than pre-cut holes) of the pa­per guides allows for easy, one hand changes.
12” x 18” support through bypass allows users to create full bleed ledger/A3 documents such as product bro­chures, menus, etc., by trimming the unprinted borders.
Paper cassette handles can be gripped from above or below, making it easier to open the lower tray.
Heavy media is supported through all main supplies rather than just the bypass, as found on some rival sys­tems.
Flexible paper expansion capabilities include a tandem 2,000 sheet large capacity tray (LCT) to maximize letter/ A4 capability and dual 500-sheet universal drawers for offices using a broader mix of media supplies.
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE:
A 550-sheet capacity in main drawers would allow a full ream of paper to be added without waiting for the draw­ers to be completely empty.

Paper Handling: Paper Output/Finishing
Savin C2525
Background
The paper output handling options on workgroup products can range from duplex output to saddle-stitch booklet making capabilities. Many devices offer a choice of
finishers providing a low cost, minimum footprint solution, or a high-capacity, fully-featured solution.
Stapling
Lower cost stapler units often have a 15- to 30-sheet maximum capacity and are often limited to corner stapling. Floor-standing, higher cost finishers should offer 50-sheet capability and can handle corner and double stapling. Saddle-stitch heads up the finishing capabilities, allowing users to create folded, center-stapled booklets. Some workgroup device saddle-stitch finishers only handle 10 sheets (40-page booklets) with others handling up to 15 sheets (60-page booklets).
Mail Bin Units and Offset Output
Many workgroup devices offer offset stacking (where each set is offset from the next) to make it easier to separate jobs. Some offer physical mail bin units allowing each user to send jobs to their own output area. Most mail bin units limit delivery to unfinished jobs. A multi-tray finisher can also offer some form of job separation, typically used to route different types of job (fax, print, copy) for easier identification.

Finishing Options
The Savin C2525 comes with a selection of output and finishing options. The internal output areas can be ex­panded into a two bin area including offset stacking that separates job types. A hanging finisher with 500-sheet stacking capacity and 50-sheet, single-position corner and side stapling is the entry level finishing option. The
unit can also be equipped with a choice of two floor-standing finishers: a 1,000­sheet finisher with 50-sheet multi­position stapling, and a 1,000-sheet fin­isher with 50-sheet multi-position sta­pling, 10-sheet saddle-stitch booklet maker, and optional two/three-hole punch unit.

To compare finishing results, BERTL analysts ran the same job (10 sets of 12 originals) with and without stapling. There was a step down in productivity as more advanced finishing was added. Some rival units deliver single corner stapling with virtually no productivity drop. The saddle-stitch booklet mode suffered the biggest drop partially due to the long time for the imposition process of the first set.
Productivity tests performed on Savin MP C3000 sister device.

Paper Handling: Paper Output/Finishing
WHAT WE LIKED:
A wide range of finishing capabilities delivers a broad
mix of document production capabilities within a small footprint.
Heavy card support through duplex unit lets users pro-
duce professional grade presentation materials.
Tight stacking of collated sets makes offline finishing
tasks such as perfect binding or professional punch less time-consuming.
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE:
12” x 18” support through the duplex unit would allow full
bleed presentation materials to be produced. This is not possible because the bypass cannot be used in conju nc­tion with duplexing and the bypass is the only media sup­ply that handles 12” x 18”.
Neatly-stacked offset output speeds offline finishing.
Savin C2525
The saddle-stitch booklet creation feature is hidden sev-
eral layers deep in the finishing menu and could be con­fusing to some novice users. A standard default one­touch on the display would be more convenient. Note: Users can set up the saddle-stitch booklet mode as a one touch operation using the touch screen customiza­tion feature. The user would also have to select both this one touch button and the saddle-stitch booklet mode fea­ture to create the desired saddle-stitched booklet.

Routine Maintenance
Savin C2525
Background
Workgroup devices sold through retail and
traditional IT distribution outlets usually are
maintained by office workers changing the all-
in-one cartridge units that encase the entire
imaging system. Units sold through the reseller/dealer community are
usually maintained by office workers and trained service engineers. Separate long-life parts are more complex to install but offer lower running costs than the low yield, all­in-one alternatives.
Toner Replacement
Changing the toner or imaging cartridge is a necessary task that is avoided by some for fear of dust leaking on clothes or hands. However, most units today offer clean replacement of toner supplies. Imaging units on color MFPs come in two distinct design configurations, tandem single pass with four separate imaging stations or four pass with one central imaging drum. The tandem design usually provides for easier end user drum replacement with a simple side in slide out design. The longer life central drum designs require an engineer visit, albeit much less frequently.

Clearing Paper Jams
The main device issue that office users attempt to remedy themselves is the occasional paper jam. As a general rule, the faster the device engine, and the more paper handling options, the more complex the process of removing paper jams. Common jam sources are the duplex unit and poor loading of paper supplies. The position of the duplex unit can be a major factor in the ease of paper jam removal.
WHAT WE LIKED:
The large touch screen and Flash demonstrations that
walk users through jam removal were highly-intuitive and simple for even novice users to master.
Imaging drums are well protected and not exposed dur-
ing paper jam removal as found on some rival units.
Imaging drums can be replaced by end users; only one
screw must be removed.
The duplex unit is on the opposite side to the finisher,
making access easier than on some rival units.
Paper jam areas were easy to access with no blind spots
discovered during evaluation.
Toner bottles were easily replaced without mess.
Unique toner bottle docking stations prevent wrong col-
ors being loaded in error.
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE:
Although only a screw driver is needed now, removal of imaging drums without any tools would be better.

Routine Maintenance
Paper Jam Removal
During the testing of the Savin C2525, which spanned thou­sands of pages across multiple media sizes and types, BERTL analysts did not encounter any paper jams. To re­view the procedure for jam removal, BERTL analysts forced a series of paper jams during both simplex and duplex workflows.
When a paper jam occurs, a red light illuminates on the front of the unit indicating that the device requires attention. The color touch screen guides the user through the jam removal process with Flash demonstrations.
Instructions were very intuitive for the most part, with only one confusing sequence during the evaluation. For one jam, the message indicated that a paper jam in the fuser region should be removed by pulling the sheet out. We felt some resistance to the motion, but the sheet did come out cleanly. Later in the same sequence, we were asked to lift flap B2, which is the release mechanism for removing jams from the fuser region, and instructed to remove the sheet again.
Besides that situation, paper jam removal was instinctive and easy to follow. The Savin C2525 leaves competitors well behind in assisting users, potentially saving valuable time and reducing frustration when jams do occur.

Routine Maintenance
Toner Replacement Process
Users open the front door of the Savin C2525 to access both the toner and imaging unit. A plastic protective guard must be removed before the imaging drum can be accessed.
To replace the toner bottle, the bottle is simply pulled out of its docking station. During replacement, BERTL analysts experienced no toner spill. The individual toner docking stations have different holes to prevent the incorrect toner supply being entered in error.
The imaging drums are protected by an additional plastic guard. To remove the guard, a plastic lock must first be removed using a screwdriver. To access the four imaging stations, a lever and front plate guard is lowered. Users can slide out the unit in need of replacement.
The image drums can be cleaned using a brush that comes with the unit. The brush is stored on the door by sliding into a guide hole accompanying each imaging drum.

Device Management
Background
An efficient device management backbone is needed to take maximum advantage of the feature set within a device, be it a printer, fax, scanner or multi-functional product.
Device management is commonly-supported through a Web server on the device controller. This Web server is accessed using any desktop Internet browser; the user simply enters the IP address of the device into the URL address line.
Administrators and office users have different management and monitoring needs.
General Office Users
End users want to know if a device is capable of handling a job. Supply levels and a list of jobs already committed to print are important.
For MFPs with document storage and communications capabilities, end users also need desktop management of print on demand, stored document viewing (to check print on demand files or incoming faxes) and, for the more advanced, the creation of scan-to-email or scan-to-file destination templates.
Administrators
An office or network manager looks for greater control over the device functionality and setup without leaving their desk. They may be looking to manage network setup, establish security for IP filter ranges, apply cost control measures, check supply levels, and set up automated email alerts to different staff members when problems occur.
Due to the nature of the Web server, this capability is usually limited to an individual device. Many manufacturers also include a network device management fleet tool, which allows for the monitoring and management of multiple devices around the network concurrently. Many also provide plug-ins to the most popular IT device management utilities to ensure that the maximum amount of information can be relayed from their device to the third-party application.

Status Monitoring
The status tab provided all the pertinent status factors of the device at a glance. However, there is no indicator of likely page yields remaining based on current coverage patterns.
Job Queue Reporting
The Admin mode includes ability to change the order of jobs and delete jobs, functions not avail­able to users.
Walk up and desktop queue management allows multiple jobs to be deleted at once. This allows administrators to remove repeat send jobs quickly.
From the touch screen panel, users can also view the jobs in progress with an indicator of time to completion.
We were pleased to see that users can select and delete multiple jobs in a single step, a fea­ture that some devices do not offer, instead forc­ing administrators to delete surplus jobs one at a time when bottlenecks occur.
The device status can be viewed from the desktop.
Copy and print jobs can be viewed from the desktop, including details and time to complete.

Address Book Management
The Address Book can be set up quickly and easily by administrators and end users using the Web browser or the touch screen interface.
Setting up new templates is faster and more accurate than rival devices, thanks to the large touch screen, inte­gration with email-shared address books, and SMB browsing capability. Each entry can be associated with up to three sub-address book fast access filters (an al­phabetic filter like a pop-up phone address book), plus two one-touch number subsets (1 to 5 and 1 to 10). This, along with the extensive search capabilities, makes the communication process of the Savin C2525 very effi­cient.
Scan Templates
Scan templates are set up within the address book feature. Users can set up scan-to-file tem­plates using SMB, FTP, and NCP protocols. SMB is further facilitated by the use of a browser utility allowing network novice users to browse to their folder of choice without having to know the network path. This can offer valuable time­saving opportunities to users setting up their own unique scan to desktop destinations.
Address book entries include routing details, permission levels and security logon details.
