"What customers can do with EasyCopy is the same thing they dowith standard office copiers -- tap in the number of copies theyneed, set the brightness, and scaling factors and press the'Copy' button," noted Trevor Fennell, VIDAR's EngineeringBusiness Line director. "Although EasyCopy is a highlysophisticated touch-panel controller along with a high-powered,built- in computer, it is exceptionally simple to use and hasbeen seamlessly integrated into the design of our scanners. Ithooks directly to any large format printer supported byCopySystems, including those from Hewlett Packard, Encad, Epson,Rastergraphics, Selex, Mutoh or Xerox. Users will be able to copyany document, regardless of size and regardless of whether theyneed perfect color, velvety grayscale or crisp black-and-white,"he continued. "Best of all, they'll be able to establish 'pre-sets' -- pre-programmed sets of parameters for the types ofdocuments that they frequently copy, saving them the timeotherwise spent in set-up," he concluded.

Jones, reprographics marketmanager at VIDAR, stated "SmartCopy, like EasyCopy, is easy touse, but it gives users all the advanced copying capabilitiesregularly available in VIDAR's complete CopySystems solutions.The difference is that they don't have to integrate a separatePC, monitor and keyboard into their copying configuration. Thevaluable office space usually taken up by PCs used to controlcopying systems can be put to better use when you have SmartCopy.The solution includes the same touch-panel and computer that makeup EasyCopy, along with a built-in flat-screen, high resolutionmonitor and an integrated remote keyboard. Reprographics shopsneed to take advantage of technology that lets them do their jobeasily, efficiently and with minimal impact on their businesspractices. They are in business to make profits by runningperfect copies quickly. SmartCopy lets them do this."

This price breakthrough and the simplicityof these systems will enable almost everyone who has everexperienced the disappointment of not being able to copy theirbig documents -- whether for cost or convenience issues -- tohave a solution to their copying problems." Customers whocurrently own a Titan or Atlas scanner already will be able tofield-upgrade their CopySystems solutions as well.
