The MP C2000 is designed for small and medium-sized businesses together with workgroups in larger enterprises. Gestetner is already the market leader in this segment and according to researchers InfoSource, Gestetner gained 42.4% of the European Category 2 Colour Capable MFP market in 2006.

The high productivity and document finishing functionality of the MP C2000 allow users to keep much of their document management requirements in-house. To ensure that the device can grow with the user’s business needs, it is easy to upgrade.

For professional-looking documents, the MP C2000 produces quality output at up to 20 pages per minute respectively, whether printing in full colour or black and white. The high speed scanner supports speeds up to 50 pages per minute and with a fast warm up time of 45 seconds, documents can be produced within 6.7 seconds. For minimum user intervention, the MP C2000 has an impressive paper capacity of up to 3,200 sheets and provides continuous operation even if one paper tray is empty.

"The key to the enhanced user friendliness is the excellent colour LCD panel," according to Maaike Giling, Senior Product Specialist at Gestetner’s Marketing Group. “The high resolution colour LCD touch panel clearly differentiates us from our competitors. The ability to preview a scanned document and a simplified display, showing only a minimum of functions, are just two of the impressive features of the improved panel. Capabilities such as the animated guidance in case of toner or paper replacement emphasise that the MP C2000/MP C2500/MP C3000 are the best in their class”.

High-quality document finishing is an integral part of the MP C2000. The device can staple, punch and collate up to 1,000 sheets. It can also handle paper up to 256 g/m² so that even menu cards or cover sheets can be managed. The optional booklet finisher enables users to automatically fold and saddle stitch their booklets.

Using the ‘Scan To’ functionality, users can store and distribute documents in many ways. Scanning a document to a recipient's e-mail address is just one example of this flexibility. The strong document handling functionality is also evident in the fax capabilities of the devices. There is a broad range of fax distribution functions, such as automatically directing inbound faxes to the relevant people. The Embedded Software Architecture™, based on Java™, enables users to easily develop customised applications to enhance their workflow even further.

The MP C2000 provides security features such as password requirement to print and a utility to erase all data on the hard disk drive after use. It also offers watermark protection to prevent unauthorised copying, meeting user demands for enhanced security functionalities.

Gestetner has a strong corporate commitment to the environment and sustainable management. The product uses toxic free materials, and has limited ozone and noise pollution combined with a toner that requires less energy.

The MP C2000 is the latest addition to Gestetner's advanced range of digital office equipment. Gestetner currently manufactures one of the world’s most extensive line ups of printers, copiers, scanners, faxes and multifunctional devices, as well as advanced software solutions.
