Ramsey, NJ and Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) August 13, 2007 -- Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (www.kmbs.konicaminolta.us) (Konica Minolta) and IPRO Tech (www.iprocorp.com) today announced the ability to provide clients in the legal industry with improved document capture and high speed printing output. Konica Minolta's award-winning bizhub PRO? 1050e and bizhub PRO 920 digital printing systems are certified for use with IPRO Copy+, IPRO Label+ and IPRO eScan-IT software. This enhanced compatibility between Konica Minolta bizhub PRO systems that scan, copy and print, with IPRO software allows clients to use Konica Minolta's MFPs to scan documents directly into IPRO solutions to capture document images and full text data, Bates number, label, store, retrieve, distribute and print critical legal information.
"Legal applications are, by nature, very document intensive and tracking and access to critical document-based information is important to successful litigation," said Kevin P. Kern, vice president, product planning and development, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. "Our production print systems like the bizhub PRO 1050e and bizhub PRO 920 are ideal for clients using IPRO software solutions in litigation support and other legal applications. Our high speed scanning and light production printing capabilities offer the productivity required to capture, manage and share evidentiary and other supporting documents at a cost far less than competitive solutions. At Konica Minolta, we believe that the legal market offers significant growth opportunities and certification by IPRO Tech is crucial to success in this competitive business."
"Scanning, copying and printing are critical functions in our document imaging and document management systems that are designed for the legal industry," said Paul Thompson, vice president of sales, IPRO Tech. "We want to provide 'best-of-breed' bigger, stronger, faster options to our clients and the bizhub PRO systems from Konica Minolta are ideal for our applications. Our hallmark has always been to offer systems that provide more productivity at a fraction of the cost of competitive products and Konica Minolta systems are a good fit with that strategy. They offer more productivity and features at a lower total cost of ownership."
IPRO Copy+
With IPRO Copy+ an operator can rapidly copy, image, Bates number, and OCR legal documents in one step. Additionally, operators can use advanced pre-printing features to verify the readability of copies and images. The IPRO Copy+ solution allows an operator to manage the copy and imaging process via a touch screen and a streamlined user interface. The solution consists of a software application residing on a standard PC connected to a Konica Minolta high-volume production print system. IPRO Copy+ literally turns a copier into an imaging system. The solution is intuitive and mimics the copy process; if an operator can run a copier they can create images with IPRO Copy+.
IPRO Label+
IPRO Label+ is an easy-to-use PC application that takes document images, places numbers on the pages, and prints the document. IPRO Label+ has other features including the ability to print messages and watermarks, such as Confidential and Draft. It allows numbers and messages to be printed portrait or landscape. It also inserts color slip sheets between documents, prints simplex or duplex, prints multiple copies, prints in color, supports different paper sizes (letter, legal, and oversize) and up to four trays. Images used by IPRO Label+ can come from sources such as multifunction digital copiers, desktop scanners, CDs, DVDs, or disk files. Plus IPRO Label+ can save the images with or without numbers after printing.
IPRO eScan-IT
