MFP Panasonic KX-MB1500: a document management system for the home
MFP Panasonic KX-MB1500, in the first place,aimed at home use. This is indicated by a small print limit and very modest technical parameters. It is about this affordable multifunction device and will be discussed in this small material.
Positioning
The printing system under consideration is very modestThe page output limit, set by the manufacturer at 5000 single-sided sheets. This alone points to the fact that it is most optimal to use such MFIs at home. Also theoretically, the capabilities of such a peripheral device may be sufficient for office use. But, again, this is justified only for such an organization, in which the number of PCs does not exceed 5 pieces, and the limit for printing is not more than the same 5000 pages.
What did the manufacturer include in the delivery list?
The following list of supplies boasts the Panasonic KX-MB1500 MFP:
Multifunction device.
Set of wires for connection.
Drivers and specialized software, which are recorded on the CD-ROM.
Documentation in paper form (instruction manual and, of course, a voucher with warranty obligations).
Cartridge.
Main settings
Laser MFP Panasonic KX-MB1500 is capable ofscan with a physical resolution of 600X600, but the use of digital interpolation technology can increase this value to 19200X19200. This significantly improves the quality of the received documents, but the inkjet peripheral devices are still better in this regard. Printing in this case is carried out in the format 600X600. The weight of the device is 9 kg, and in one cycle it is capable of removing 99 one-sided sheets. Among other parameters of the solution under consideration, it is necessary to note the presence of a 2-point information board that outputs information in monochromatic mode. Not every analog of this MFP can boast of having such an option.
Formats and speed
The largest size of media that can bework MFP Panasonic KX-MB1500 - this is A4. With most pages of smaller dimensions, this solution can work. The permissible carrier density is in the range of from 60 to 90 g / m2. On the assurances of the manufacturer such a printer canoutput up to 18 sheets per minute. This value is valid for pages with A4 dimensions. As the size of the medium decreases, the speed increases. The basis of the MFP under consideration is the laser method of printing, and it can output documentation only in monochromatic mode.
Communication, cartridge
Expect a large interface kit from the MFPsEconomy class is not necessary. And the requirements for the list of connection methods are reduced. In this case, it consists of only one USB. All other kinds of ports or wireless transmitters are not available in this device. Two models of cartridges can be used as part of the MFP under consideration. One of them is included in the basic configuration, and the second can boast an increased limit of printing. The basic cartridge for MFP Panasonic KX-MB1500 is FAT400A7 with a resource of 1800 pages. In its turn, FAT410A7 boasts an increased limit. In this case, one of its refueling should be enough for 2500 pages.
Cost and opinion of the owners
At 6000-6300 rubles, the Panasonic MFPsKX-MB1500. Reviews indicate that this device is just great for implementing home subsystem of printing, copying or scanning. But this is true in the case when printing is performed only in monochromatic mode, and mediocre requirements are advanced to it. The application of the MFI in question is also justified in a very small office. It is for such an optimal use indicated by specialists and, of course, by the owners.
Conclusion
The main and essentially the only sphereThe Panasonic KX-MB1500 MFPs are home-based printing subsystems. At the same time, the volume of documentation is minimal, and the requirements for its quality are average. It is also possible to use it in a very small office. In all other possible cases, the use of an MFP with a limit of 5,000 pages will certainly not be enough. At least, you can find more optimal options for organizing the printing subsystem. Of course, the cost they will be higher, but problems with a lack of printing certainly will not arise. Experts recommend that this is how to approach the creation of a workflow subsystem.
