54 Fujifilm launches monochrome wide format MFPs The monochrome wide format multifunction printers target manufacturing, construction and facility management industries FUJIFILM Business Innovation Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. announced the launch of the ApeosWide 3030/6050 monochrome wide-format multifunction printers. The series entails three new products under two models for scanning and printing A0 size drawings with enhanced security functions to prevent leakage of confidential drawings. The wide format printers are already available for sale to Asia Pacific. The ApeosWide 3030/6050 multifunction printers with its existing security print and copy management are further equipped with more robust network security functions with the latest version of the network security standard - Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3), which provides a stronger encryption for network communications. For added protection, the single printer can also be connected to two independent networks, thereby enabling an environment where scanning and printing operations can be managed separately and securely. For example, connection to the company intranet for employee’s usage, while the other is connected to the internet for external users.
There can be independent connections for different departments and users such as general users and departmental users only. These can be implemented via a secondary ethernet connection. The ApeosWide 3030/6050 is also designed to provide enhanced experience to users with its new user interface (UI) via a 10.1-inch colour LCD panel and is equipped with an attention light to alert users that an error has occurred when the orange lighting flashes up for easier management and operation.
