Introducing
the Konica 7040 Workgroup Document System, the perfect solution for offices
and workgroups looking for high-end features and high performance in a
mid range package.
The Konica 7040 offers mid and
lower volume customers the benefits of digital technology at an affordable price
point, plus the ability to add printing and scanning capabilities. These
functions will be available as modular upgrades, enabling the customer to choose
each option as needed, and making the 7040 extremely flexible choices for
workgroup copying and printing environments.
Features
& Available Options
 |
Real Time High Speed Scan
Technology
With rated
speeds of 40 copies-per-minute, the 7040 is the first Konica product with
Real Time High Speed Scan Technology. This technology allows each page of a
document to be fed, scanned and stored into memory virtually simultaneously,
increasing reliability over time (due to fewer moving parts) while still
offering the superior copy quality and productivity of scan-once-print-many
technology. |
 |
Real Time Document Processing
Konica has taken contention management to new
heights with its Real Time Document Processing Technology. The 7040's
electronic reversing document handler (ERDH) features 10 memory partitions
for storing pre-programmed copy or print jobs, enabling consecutive,
non-stop production. Up to 5 copy jobs and up to 5 print jobs can be in
printer memory. Remember additional jobs can be spooled to the IP-402 Print
Controller. Should production need to be halted in order to complete
emergency jobs, users can select the Job Interrupt feature to gain immediate
access to the copier. |
 |
Improved Touch Screen Interface
The units' intuitively designed touch screen
interfaces allow easy programming of all job functions and are the first
Konica products with intuitive jam clearance. This enables paper jam
locations to be diagrammed directly on the touch screen, eliminating the
need for users to decipher error code messages that are routinely used to
locate jams and other problems. |
 |
Job Management List
Monitoring job progress can be done directly from
the touch screen, which shows the order and status of each job. Users can
even delete or reprioritize jobs after they are programmed. To save time,
this feature is accessible even while the copier is warming up.
|
 |
Advanced Toner Supply System
Copy quality is further enhanced with the 7040's
advanced toner supply system. An auger placed inside the toner bottle
continually rotates the toner supply, insuring toner freshness. The method
of replacing toner was even simplified so that any user can easily handle
this maintenance task cleanly in a few seconds. |
 |
Flash ROM Upgradability
Another new feature is Flash ROM Upgradability,
which will allow Konica service technicians to digitally upgrade the 7040's
machine EPROMs from a laptop computer. A computer port located inside the
machines' front panels is included specifically for this purpose. Since
upgrades can be accomplished during routine maintenance calls, machine
uptime and efficiency are increased while the process for adding new EPROM
commands is streamlined. |
 |
Multi-Bin Document Finishing
The FS-105 Finisher features three output trays to
allow users to send reserved jobs to a different output tray than designated
for a copy or print job already in progress. Documents are processed
according to which tray they are being output to. Tray 1 can print face up
or down; while trays 2 and 3 support face down printing and have finishing
capabilities. Total tray capacity is 1,100 sheets.
The
FS-105 supports single stapling or double stapling of documents in eight
positions. With the finisher's Cascade feature, users can complete extra
long runs of a document since this mode has unlimited output capacity with
limited user intervention. In the Cascade Mode, the finisher automatically
switches to the next available tray as the previous tray reaches its
capacity. In addition, Tray 1 of the finisher has an unlimited capacity when
Trays 2 and 3 are removed, giving users another flexible option while
copying extra large jobs. |

Printing and Scanning Options
Network scanning options will be released in the first half of 2000. The
IP-402+, the
latest model in a series of Konica-designed print controllers, will drive
the printing function, while connectivity options will support all major
network operating systems, platforms and protocols. The
IP-402+ will be
developed on Konica's New Operating Architecture (NOA). The NOA employs a
real time multitasking operating system based on Wind River Technologies' Vx-
Works™ platform, delivering high-performance and extreme flexibility. For
example, the IP-402+ was designed to support both page printing and document
printing, so whether users need multiple sets of a document or multiple
prints of a single page, the 7040/7033 provide unmatched job processing
power.
With the
optional network scanning feature, users will be able to scan documents over
a network. |
 |
Additional Features
The Konica 7040 offers many features commonly found on the company's
higher-volume digital units, including unlimited stackless duplexlng,
intuitive touch screen interface, document finishing, multi-position
stapling, and signature booklet making. Its maximum paper capacity is 2,600
sheets via five paper sources. |
