INTRODUCTION

New product announcements give us something new to talk to customers about, and this announce­ment is no different. As we continue to increase the features and functionality of the products within the Savin color solutions portfolio, we are also increasing the opportunity for you to sell more within your territory by meeting a wider range of customer requirements. The new Savin C6055 and C7570 MFPs offer a new level of price/performance for workgroups and departments, and they address the growing need for affordable color in light production environments as well. This Sales Information Guide will provide you with everything you need to take advantage of this brand-new opportunity for increased sales performance.
According to current market research, the use of color in the office is growing by more than 35% annually, while black & white printing and copying only demonstrate about a 2% annual growth. IDC reports that there are over 40 million black & white laser printers installed in the U.S. alone, many of which could be upgraded to color. As price/performance continues to improve in color copying and printing devices, companies are also looking for ways to bring outsourced color printing in-house to reduce costs and to increase control over the printing process. The Savin C6055 and C7570 MFPs are designed to capitalize on all of these trends.
Savin has been a leader in affordable office color printing. From its introduction of the first color­enabled MFP and continuing through today’s strong product line-up, Savin is making color printing and copying more attractive in the office environment than ever before. Clearly, our effor ts have helped spur general office customers to make the transition from black & white to color documents. In short order, Savin has become a market leader in the color arena, and with the launch of the C6055 and C7570 models, we expect to continue this market leadership.
Savin is introducing the C6055 and C7570 in direct response to these customer needs for faster, more cost-effective color and streamlined in-house production of color documents. These fully-featured MFPs produce 60 and 75 ppm in black & white, respectively, and 55 and 70 ppm in color, respectively. They are intended for use in large workgroups or small departments where they can be shared by multiple users as networked printers and scanners, and as walk-up copiers and scanning stations. In most cases, the C6055 or C7570 can replace multiple existing copiers, printers, faxes and scanners, reducing the overall copy/print footprint and making device management much simpler.
The C6055 and C7570 are also ideal for light production environments that have insufficient volume to justify expensive production color devices, yet have the need to produce quality color in a staffed environment.

The C6055 and C7570 have several key competitive advantages, including:
Fast print/copy speeds in both black & white and color
Fast warm-up times and first copy out times
Fast scanning speeds in both black & white and color
A simple, intuitive user interface that makes all capabilities available with a few simple touches of
the screen.
Configurable print queues, such as the hold or locked queue, to improve document security
Improved print quality
A vast array of flexible and innovative finishing options
A compact footprint that is made even smaller because there is no need for clearance behind the
system
A document server option that allows storage of documents for easy reprinting
Wireless and Bluetooth networking options for the ultimate in ease of access, as well as a USB port
for delivering files directly to the controller.
These enhanced features make the C6055 and C7570 ideal for busy office environments and they also open the door for increased market share in the growing light production market.
With the addition of the C6055 and C7570, Savin now has color-enabled solutions to meet the needs of virtually all of your customers—a range of solutions that fits every price/performance point.
In the office, it is no longer a question of whether to print in color, but rather, how to produce color documents faster and more cost-effectively while reducing the amount of color printing that needs to be outsourced. The C6055 and C7570 are perfectly positioned to meet this challenge in both the office and light production markets.
This is a great time to be selling the C6055 and C7570. All of our market research predicts that demand for these systems will be strong. How many of those placements will be yours?

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Savin C6055 and C7570 are high-speed, color-enabled MFPs that offer high-performance copying, printing, scanning in both black & white and color, as well as optional faxing and comprehensive collating and finishing options.
The C6055 and C7570 build on the B2C concept of enabling customers to migrate more documents from black & white to color. As you know, Savin’s successful B2C product strategy is designed to remove any and all objections customers have to using color in their documents. The core principles of this strategy are to offer customers a fully featured MFP with comprehensive finishing capabilities that deliver similar operating costs and a minimal incremental hardware price difference as compared to a monochrome system.
Whereas some entry-level customers have not yet explored how color fits into their document strategy, this is probably not the case with customers who are likely to purchase the C6055 and C7570. The best target customers are the ones that will have already had experience with color output, through the use of either color laser printers, dedicated color systems and/or through outsourcing to printing vendors.
As a result, the sales process can’t be simpler. Your most effective approach is to present these new products as systems that deliver the performance and document handling capabilities normally only found on a high-performance monochrome systems. These systems enable customers to bring color in­house or consolidate color printing currently being produced on multiple devices into a single, versatile and cost-effective C6055 or C7570.
Meet the New C6055 and C7570
The C6055 and C7570 are Segment 4/5 color MFPs designed for intensive color and black & white usage. To satisfy mid- to high­volume customers, the C6055 outputs 55 color and 60 black & white ppm, while the C7570 outputs 70 color and 75 black & white ppm. Both machines also feature a 3,400-sheet standard paper capacity that can be increased to 7,400-sheets.
These systems are intended for workgroups and departments with 30 to 100 users who print, or would like to print, 50% to 100% of their document volume in color.
The C6055 and C7570 support nearly all of the activities required by general office users, including copying, printing, scanning, faxing and document storage. They have rapid first-copy-out times, which is important in busy, multiuser office environments. And beyond the office, their speed and quality make them ideal for the needs of the light production environment.

FTP/SMB/NCP, Network TWAIN Scanning

Network Integration

These systems offer a wide range of network connectivity options. Network printing is fully integrated into these systems, which are driven by an Intel Pentium-M 1.4GHz CPU, with 1,536MB of RAM and a two-disk array with a total of 320GB (160GB x 2) of storage capacity. Users can print documents using Savin RPCS or PCL 5c/XL (emulation) drivers or, optionally, with a true Adobe PostScript 3 driver. The C6055 and C7570 connect to the network via 10BaseT/100BaseTX/1000BaseT with full support for all major network protocols. A USB 2.0 serial interface is available for direct connection to a print server or workstations to offload large file transfers from the network, eliminating unnecessary network traffic burdens. They are also both optionally Bluetooth and wireless enabled.

Scanning and Document Management

Comprehensive scanning and document management contribute to the versatility of the C6055/C7570 series. In addition to network TWAIN scanning at 1,200dpi, users can scan documents directly into single- or multi-page PDF or TIFF formats and send them as e-mail attachments—taking advantage of support for up to five (5) registered LDAP servers to easily locate e-mail addresses in organizations of all sizes.
The C6055/C7570 series also supports Scan-to-Folder FTP/SMB server so that customers can post scanned documents on an FTP, SMB, or NCP server for easy retrieval by authorized users. System storage is also optimized when files are scanned into PDF format with a high compression ratio while maintaining the image integrity.
There is a 320GB hard disk drive, of which 191.6GB is reserved for the Document Server, which provides a huge repository for the Document Server, enabling users to locally store scanned, copied and printed files for sharing and repurposing. The Document Server can store up to 3,000 documents or 15,000 pages!

Security

Security is an integral feature of this system. To ensure that only authorized users may take advantage of the C6055/C7570 series’ capabilities—as well as the stored documents—these systems feature Windows Authentication and several related security protocols.
The systems also offer hold or locked print queues for added document security. This means that files can be sent for printing from the desktop, with the user releasing the documents for printing at the machine to ensure that unauthorized users do not see or have access to sensitive materials.
Customers with extremely sensitive documents can also take advantage of the HDD Data Overwrite option to ensure that documents are only viewed by appropriate personnel and are completely erased from the system when deleted. There is also an optional Unauthorized Copy Guard Unit, and an HDD data encryption unit to ensure the security of sensitive data. Files can be scanned into encrypted PDF format for additional security.

Cost Control

To manage operating costs, your customers can restrict color output and/or access to the system by specific groups or users. Up to 500 user codes can be created.

Savin C6055/C7570

Comprehensive Finishing

The C6055/C7570 series offers comprehensive finishing options, including cover insertion and the ability to combine multiple finishing options; for example, users can configure their systems with a 9-bin mailbox on top of the saddle stitch booklet maker or the 50-sheet stapler finisher with a 3000-sheet capacity. For customers that produce longer documents, there’s a 100-sheet stapler finisher with a 3,000-sheet capacity.
New to the C6055 and C7570 is a 2-Source Cover Interposer that makes it easy to load different front/back cover pages without the need to precollate them in a single bin.
Another new option available with the C6055/C7570 series is the Z-folding unit with the 100-sheet stapler Finisher or the 50-sheet staple/saddle stitch finisher.

SELLING THE C6055 AND C7570

In selling the C6055 and C7570, your most effective strategy is to show customers how they can produce color documents more quickly and cost-effectively than is possible on a dedicated color system while still producing black & white documents at a market-leading cost with the same machine footprint. The increased capability of these MFPs also means more color printing can be brought in­house to save the time and money associated with outsourcing. Your focus will be on helping users understand how the C6055/C7570 can effectively consolidate their existing base of black & white and color laser and inkjet printers, color copiers and outsourced printing in a single, compact, affordable solution that saves them time, money, space and reduces user training requirements.
Customers will be delighted to learn that the C6055/C7570 series offers a very competitive cost per page (CPP) for black & white documents, while at the same time delivering a more economical CPP for color documents than dedicated color printers and copiers can offer. The C6055/C7570 series offers a clear integration path for office and light production users from existing solutions. By taking this path, they will consume less space and power, benefit from a consistent and easy-to-operate user interface, and take advantage of the best price/performance on the market in its class.

Ease of Use

All operations on the C6055/C7570 are performed through an intuitive user interface that requires minimal training for effective operation. The simplified built-in touch screen display makes it particularly easy for even first-time walk-up users to per form off-the-glass scanning, faxing and copying activities. Menus are streamlined so that most functions can be accessed with a few simple selections. Some system settings are automatically applied to take the guesswork out and minimize errors on the output.

Affordability

Customers may initially consider the purchase and operating costs of the C6055/C7570 series to be beyond their budget. But customers often overlook the hidden costs of acquiring, managing and maintaining a large portfolio of office equipment, and the limited durability of desktop or personal devices. Your role is to help them understand how the C6055/C7570 series can be used to replace a number of existing fax machines, laser printers, black & white mid-range MFPs, and even inkjet printers. They will be delighted with the ability to consolidate multiple devices into a single footprint that uses a single set of consumables. This consolidation will deliver an attractive ROI that will justify this approach to color printing in the office.

Keeping Color In-House

Ask your customers how often they have to wait for expensive outside printing to be delivered to meet their immediate document needs. Many offices are outsourcing production of brochures, presentations and other color printing. This can be inconvenient from a time and cost perspective, because their current office printing solution cannot deliver the quality and speed required. These customers will like the idea of reducing the cost of outsourcing and gaining increased control over their color printing needs.
The high level of productivity, exceptional image quality and wide range of controller and finishing options offered by the C6055/C7570 series will more than meet the needs of these customers. Also, the durability and reliability of the C6055/C7570 series will be a definite plus for users in both the office and light production environments. With the C6055/C7570 series, customer can produce the same—or better—quality internally that they are accustomed to receiving when they outsource color printing.

PRODUCT POSITIONING

With the introduction of the C6055 and C7570, Savin now has the most comprehensive line of color­enabled MFPs in the market, period. With speeds ranging from 24 to 75 ppm in black & white and 10 to 70 ppm in color, Savin now has a range of general office solutions that covers everything from the small office to the light production environment, including corporate reproduction depar tments (CRDs).
Like the C6045 and SDC555, the C6055 and C7570 are designed for customers who need and want color and are already generating it, either using outside vendors or via a dedicated color MFP or copier/ printer. Your job is to show these customers how the C6055 or C7570 will reduce the cost and/or turnaround time associated with producing color documents, and to allow them to move outsourced color printing in house for reduced costs and greater control over the printing process.
With the launch of the higher speed C6055 and C7570, Savin can now even more effectively address key customer requirements, by:
Migrating more volume to color to increase the effectiveness of documents.
Shifting color page volume from outsourcing (print-for-pay/commercial printing) to in-house
production.
Consolidating the number of devices required to meet workgroup/department printing needs
Introducing a cost-effective solution for light production environments that cannot justify expensive
production-class machines.
10
Savin C6055/C7570
The C6055/C7570 series effectively positions Savin sales professionals to:
Increase aftermarket revenue and commissions through increased account color volumes
Grow major account business and penetration in larger workgroups, departments and light
production environments.
Position the Savin brand and product line as the preferred choice for color-enabled MFPs.
Maintain and increase Savin’s market leadership over competitors such as Xerox, Canon and
Konica Minolta.
In short, these new products will help you win more deals and target new oppor tunities in the light production market!
The C6055/C7570 are best served by emphasizing how customers can replace multiple units with a single multifunctional device. Devices that can be replaced include black & white and dedicated color copier/MFPs, scanners, fax machines, and/or multiple color laser or inkjet printers.
Begin with the Finishing!
Complete finishing capabilities are a crucial part of the positioning for these products, especially in the light production environment. The C6055/C7570 MFP mainframe is enhanced by a variety of fin­ishing options that maximize productivity. Along with the ability to copy/print in color, it is important for you to emphasize how the value proposition for the C6055/C7570 series is strengthened by these ver­satile finishing capabilities.
In addition to 50- or 100-sheet stapling capabilities and the booklet maker finisher, the finishing options for these systems include post-fuser 2-source cover insertion. Another feature that will be greatly appreciated by your customers is the ability to configure the system with a 9-bin mailbox in conjunction with one of the other finishing options, to maximize organization for multiple users while offering full document finishing.
Cover and tab insertion capabilities are very important for customers in the light production environment, as well as in print for pay and CRD environments. In addition, the C6055 and C7570’s Large Capacity Tray (LCT) can be configured with a legal-size sheet feeder to support customers that run large jobs on

2” x 14” sheets.
Neither Xerox nor Konica Minolta offer the Plockmatic BK5010 Booklet Maker and GBC Stream Punch at this moment. This presents an important Savin competitive advantage for the C6055/C7570 series.
11
These finishing options have a clear-cut advantage. The Plockmatic BK5010 Booklet Maker provides a high accuracy booklet making solution and a beautiful “Square Fold” finish. Booklets consisting of up to 120 pages can easily be produced. You can also offer customers a world standard in the GBC automatic punching solution with various punch-hole types to produce punched, collated documents right from the MFP’s control panel.

Target Markets

The C6055/C7570 are specifically designed to address two target markets—the production of business color in the office, and to suppor t the light production market. Each is described here in more detail.
THE GENERAL OFFICE
The C6055 and C7570 color MFPs are designed to serve general office users in medium- and large­size organizations which typically have 30 to 100 or more employees at the site where the unit is installed. Within those offices, these products are designed to be deployed in workgroups and departments or divisions with mid-range to high document volumes. In these environments, MFPs would generally be deployed in the workgroup area for general walk-up usage without the requirement for a dedicated operator or specialized user training. The intuitive, easy-to-operate user interface of the C6055/C7570 makes these products ideal for walk-up environments of this nature.
In addition, the robust features offered by the C6055 and C7570 offer significant opportunities for cost consolidation for these office environments. This includes the ability to reduce the overall copy/print/fax footprint by replacing multiple copy, print and faxing devices with a single, multi-user MFP, eliminating more costly laser and inkjet printers with a more cost-effective color printing platform. Because of the speeds, ease of use and advanced finishing capabilities offered by the C6055 and C7570, most offices will be able to reduce the amount of color printing they are outsourcing, producing those documents in-house and a lower cost and with more control over the process.
12
Savin C6055/C7570
While some departmental activities may require unique tools, most will be effectively served by the C6055 and C7570 MFPs. Common document types include proposals, presentations, repor ts, budgets, databases/customer lists, e-mail and memos, training manuals, sales literature and specification sheets.
The primary desktop applications used to create these documents will most likely be part of the Microsoft Office Suite—Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access—or possibly Corel’s WordPerfect and Lotus 123. For e-mail and the web, Microsoft Outlook and Internet Explorer will be the dominant applications, with some Netscape Navigator, Mozilla Firefox and Opera (“shareware” browsers) users.
What is notable about these types of documents is that, while benefiting greatly from the addition of color for covers, charts and photos, they may not require special papers other than cover stocks. For most users, the business color produced by these systems—with the reference colors correct, i.e. red apples, green grass, blue sky, etc.—is more than adequate for their needs.
The C6055 and C7570 are designed for an average monthly volume of 30,000 and 50,000 copies/prints, respectively, and customers whose color volume is at least 50% of their total print volume.
A final aspect of the C6055/C7570 series is its size/installation requirements. Whereas many production-class devices are physically quite large and require a dedicated space or room, the C6055 and C7570 are compact, with the mainframe measuring just 29.5” x 33.5” x 41.3” (WxDxH) and only
55.4” wide with the finisher. Further, no additional clearance behind these systems is required—unlike all the other systems on the market. This means that the unit can be installed flush against the wall and further minimizes the system footprint, making ef fective use of expensive office real estate.

Understanding the Light Production Market

While the C6055/C7570 discussion thus far as been focused on office and walk-up opportunities, the reliability, productivity, paper handling and range of finishing options of these systems also allow them to compete in selected production markets. When referring to production markets, we are talking about customers that have a dedicated printing/copying requirement. That is not to say that the C6055/C7570 systems are replacements for or competitive with an of fset duplicator or high volume color copier. Rather, the C6055/C7570 can be complementary components in an existing production environment.
Many customers purchased earlier color systems because they were the only alternative at the time, and not because they were a specific match to customer needs. As a result, many of these systems have been extremely underutilized, and customers have paid excessively for the use they have derived. Many of these earlier color systems are now coming off of lease. With the C6055/C7570, you now have a cost-effective, reliable and productive solution to replace equipment in those situations.
Your key to success, particularly with customers in production situations, is to understand their monthly volume requirements, the amount of heavy media they anticipate running, and their printing workflow. With the answers to these basic questions, you will be able to determine whether you can offer the best product for the customer’s needs.
13
With the C6055/C7570, you can now offer an attractive solution to the growing light production market. These systems offer:
Unmatched Productivity. With its 70 ppm color print speed, the C7570 is faster than its nearest
competitor. Light production users will find this added speed attractive as they seek to improve productivity in busy environments.
High image quality. The C6055/C7570 series competes effectively with its nearest competitor in
image quality. These new products include significant image quality enhancements over the C6045 and SDC555. Later in this sales information guide, there is more information on that quality improvement to help you better position these products with customers.
Configurability. The C6055/C7570 series continues Savin’s tradition of offering a broad array of
options to allow even the most demanding customers maximum customization to meet their specific needs.

MULTIFUNCTION REVIEW

For most of your customers, one of the most important reasons for investing in the C6055 or C7570 is the ability to perform multiple tasks from a single footprint. Fewer customers are interested in single­function devices such as scanners, copiers, printers or fax machines. They want one system that can do it all—serving as many employees as possible from a single footprint. In short, they are looking for a comprehensive document processing solution that is efficient and economical.
The C6055 and C7570 meet those requirements. Not only can these systems support a large number of users, they can perform just about every document processing task that is needed in the office and light production environments. And they also provide a centralized document repository for sharing, reusing and repurposing of document content. Key benefits include:
Printing, copying, scanning and electronic document distribution
All features can be accessed in a walk-up copying environment as easily as they can be access from
a remote printing interface.
Excellent image quality.
Standard 100-sheet automatic reversing document feeder that enables batch scanning and copying
of large documents
Seamless network integration and connectivity.
Document storage and file-sharing/distribution capabilities that do not require a separate file server,
including LDAP integration.
Comprehensive security features to ensure that access is restricted to only authorized users and that

PRINTING FUNCTIONALITY

Controller Hardware
The C6055 and C7570 are intended to support a large workgroup or small department with mid- to high print volumes in both color and black & white. That means that it is highly likely that multiple users will be sending files for output either simultaneously or within shor t intervals of each other. All of this requires that the C6055 and C7570 be able to quickly process (RIP) files and keep the engine running at its full rated speed, printing at optimum quality of 600 x 600dpi.
The C6055/C7570 controller is configured with powerful processing capabilities:
Intel Pentium-M 1.4GHz CPU
1,536MB RAM
320GB (2 x 160GB) hard disk storage
Customer Benefits
High-performance CPU ensures rapid processing of complex color files.
Massive memory (RAM) provides a large buffer for incoming (spooled) data to accommodate
multiple users.
A huge repository—with 191.8GB dedicated to the Document Server—enables users to temporarily
store files for quick reprinting or sharing with other authorized users.
No need for upgrades. The standard configuration of the C6055 and C7570 is engineered for
maximum performance without requiring any upgrades.

Printer Drivers/Languages

Users have a choice of two standard printer control languages/printer drivers with the C6055 and C7570—Savin RPCS and PCL 5c/XL. For customers with Macintosh and UNIX workstations or those that output desktop publishing files, there is also an optional true Adobe PostScript 3 driver available.
Savin’s Refined Print Command Stream (RPCS) is engineered specifically for documents generated on Windows platforms using applications such as Microsoft’s Office Suite. RPCS delivers better performance than PCL drivers by leveraging the power of the sending PC’s CPU to prepare jobs for printing. It has an icon-based Graphical User Interface that requires just a few mouse clicks to set up even complex printing jobs.

Customer Benefits:
Ease of use and better productivity. Users simply click on an icon and all printing and finishing
parameters are set up automatically.
No training. All of your existing customers are already familiar with this driver. And for those that are
not, its intuitive operation means a streamlined learning curve.
The optional true Adobe PostScript 3 (PS3) is the de facto PDL standard for all desktop publishing applications and high-end graphic workflows. PS3 enables Macintosh and UNIX users with larger file sizes and/or specific image manipulation/color matching needs to print to the C6055/C7570 series with maximum control and image quality.
Customer Benefits:
Supports marketing departments and applications using desktop publishing programs with
PostScript output.
Delivers better color fidelity for desktop publishing applications and PDF files.
Increases productivity and reduces network traffic with PDF Direct Printing.
Supports Macintosh and UNIX clients in mixed computing OS environments.
Hewlett-Packard’s PCL 5c and XL are the most commonly used color-enabled printing language/drivers for general office applications today. Virtually everyone, including system administrators, is familiar with the PCL 5c/XL interface, knows how it will perform and is comfortable with this driver/interface.
The PCL 5c/XL drivers enable the C6055/C7570 series to fit into virtually any existing HP/IBM-compatible Windows environment.

Advanced Printing Features

PRINT QUEUES
With a click of the mouse, users can select from multiple print queues for different workflows and applications.
Sample Print – Produce a single set for confirmation and approval before committing the system to
a lengthy print job to eliminate errors and waste.
Locked Print – A confidentiality feature that only releases a print job from the hard drive after the
correct authorization code is entered at the device control panel.
Hold Print – Users can send print jobs to the Hold queue and release them all at once from the
device to reduce multiple trips to the system.
Store & Print – Enables print on demand capabilities by storing a print job on the hard drive that
can be recalled and printed out as needed.
Customer Benefits:
Flexible printing alternatives that provide convenience, security, and reduce potential waste.

COVER PRINTING
Front Cover (RPCS/PCL/PC3*) Front & Back Covers (RPCS/PCL)
(Without Printing) (With Printing) (Without Printing) (With Printing)
*Note: With PS3, "Without printing" is not supported.
The C6055 and C7570 enable users to print onto dif ferent paper stock for the front and/or back cover to create a professional-looking document. Using this feature, your customers can insert either blank or preprinted covers using the RPCS, PCL or (if installed) Adobe PostScript 3 drivers. Users can choose to print—or not—on either side of cover pages. This utility can also be used to insert chapter heading pages.
New to the C6055 and C7570 is a 2-Source Cover Interposer that makes it easy to load different preprinted front/back cover pages without the need to precollate them into a single bin.
Customer Benefits
Customers can easily add distinction to their documents by adding covers to reports, manuals, and
other mission critical documents.

CHAPTERING AND TAB PRINTING
Print on Front Side (With Duplex Mode)
Chapter1: 1-3, Chapter2: 4-8, Chapter3: 9-10
Insert Slip-sheet
Blank page Print on Slip-sheet with Simplex
Print on Slip-sheet with Duplex
In addition to adding a front and back cover to a document, users can create chapters within the body of the document so that a chapter slip sheet can be inserted to separate sections. Alternatively, users can set up and print on tabs to separate chapters within the document. Even entire sections of the document can be printed using different paper from another tray with the chaptering feature.
Customer Benefits
Eliminate manual collation, especially when using tabs within a document. Complete collated
document sets are produced ready for distribution and use, or available for offline finishing, such as spiral binding.
Significant cost savings can be achieved by producing professional looking documents with tabs in
house rather than sending them out for printing and finishing.

BLACK OVERPRINT
This feature eliminates the “knock-out” white space that is typically created by desktop publishing applications to eliminate the possibility of registration problems—a white “halo”—with text on colored backgrounds. Instead, the background is maintained and the black text is printed on top.
Customer Benefits
Better quality. This is especially helpful with PowerPoint presentations that typically have a colored
background.

Document Server Functionality

More than half of the C6055 and C7570’s 320GB hard disk storage capacity—191.8GB—is reserved for the Document Server. This space is used to temporarily store copied and printed documents, as well as scanned documents. The Document Server supports both black & white and color documents/files.
The Document Server has a maximum capacity of 3,000 documents or 15,000 pages; please note that individual documents may contain no more than 2,000 pages.
Once stored on the Document Server, copied and printed documents can be reprinted without requiring any additional processing, as they are already in the bitmap format used by the C6055 and C7570.
