Built with a user-friendly 7-inch colour touch panel display, the MFD offers excellent visibility and easy navigation through various intuitive touch operations. The user interface (UI) presents a smart Timeline feature on the Home Screen that displays the history of settings used, helping users complete routine tasks with one-touch and reduce time spent on repetitive operations. The MFD also provides users with the ability to customise preferences, offering personalisation of initial display screen, display language and frequently-used functions. In addition to print speeds of up to 26 ppm, the MFD helps users work efficiently with various finishing options that lessen the manual collation of printouts, such as Eco-Staple, Staple-On-Demand and hole punching.
Elevating Workflow Efficiency
Pre-installed with Application Library, the iR1643i II and iR1643iF II feature a range of customisable shortcuts designed to help businesses streamline workflows.
