Gestetner DSm 616

Everyone wants greater productivity and the Gestetner DSm-616 digital copier system has this feature in abundance. I have been using Gestetner DSm-616 for a year now and I have yet to face any issues. I will explain in the following lines why I have no complaints with the Gestetner DSm-616.

The most striking feature of Gestetner DSm-616 is its comprehensiveness. It is a combination of fax machine, printer and photo copier. I now have no need of buying another machine and spending hundreds of dollars on these purchases. The Gestetner DSm-616 is an all encompassing printer/copier device for me. Yes, I do use its fax features but not as regularly as copying and printing.

My first experience of using the Gestetner DSm-616 was a breeze. It was easy to install and I did not face any difficulty in using this machine. It is even easier to use the Gestetner DSm-616 as there is an LCD panel with scroll down menus and other features.

The printer has standard 600 sheet paper capacity with a maximum of 1,600 sheet paper capacity; it can accommodate paper sizes up to up to 11" x 17". The Toner cartridge is superb and there are no issues with spreading or poor printing and copying. An electronic sorter is provided in Gestetner DSm-616 and this has made things easier for us; we earlier used to spend hours in manual sorting of photocopied documents. The printing speed is 21 pages per minute and resolution provided is 600 x 600 dpi; it of course provides great printing features.

The Gestetner DSm-616 offers network printing and offers support for PCL5e/6 and optional Adobe® PostScript 3. Connectivity is provided through USB2.0 and 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interfaces along with optional Bluetooth and IEEE802.11b interfaces. I do not have to sort through the tray selection as it is done automatically. Envelope printing is not of the highest quality but still good for us and better than ordinary printers. Duplex printing is a great feature and its automatic selection is even better. It has reduced our printing time to a significant degree.

The Gestetner DSm-616 offers black and white scanning and supports network TWAIN and scan to email functions. Overall, the Gestetner DSm-616 is a good digital copier system and I am satisfied with its performance. There have been no issues so far and the Gestetner DSm-616 is working efficiently. If asked to given a rating to Gestetner DSm-616, I will give it four and a half stars.

Gestetner DSc 424

Touch screen technology has made things easier and the Gestetner DSc-424 is an excellent example of that. I am a freelancer but have been involved in some projects that require massive printing and photocopying. In my search for a combo device, I found the Gestetner DSc-424 and wasted no time in buying it. I have been using it for almost two months and results have been good so far.

Starting with the installation process, it was easy for me to install the Gestetner DSc-424. I just had to follow the guidelines of the user manual and it was a breeze. My main purpose of buying the Gestetner DSc-424 was its combination of fax, printer and photocopier along with a scanner. It is truly a great combination device with each part functioning well.

Printing options on the Gestetner DSc-424 are quite elaborate. It offers both colored and black and white printing. Printing speed is 24 to 32 pages per minute for black and white and 10 per minute for colored prints. It offers a standard resolution of 600 x 600 dpi. The user interface and connectivity features include Ethernet 10 base-T/100 base-TX and a USB 2.0, as well as Bi-directional IEEE1284 with Firewire (IEEE1394) and Wireless LAN networking (IEEE802.11b). There is also a Bluetooth Network protocol, TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, SMB, AppleTalk and other options which are also included. The printer is fully supported on my Windows XP workstation and there are no glitches in using all of its features.

Copying facilities on the Gestetner DSc-424 are satisfactory. Copying speed is the same as printing speed with up to 32 black and white pages and 10 colored pages. The machine takes up to a minute in warming up though the official time is 99 seconds. Zoom of up to 400% is available and up to 100 multiple copies can be made. Two standard paper trays of 250 sheets are available with the Gestetner DSc-424. The DSc-424 also comes with a great toner cartridge which seems to be very economical.

I do not use a scanner often but my experiences, though little, are worth mentioning. The scanning feature offers A3 and A5 sizes and supports scanner-to-email and scanner-to-folder options. TIFF, JPG and PDF formats are easily accommodated in the scanner option. I have used the facsimile function just a couple of times and there were no glitches in the whole process. It has a great modem that offers up to 33.3kbps speed unlike other machines that hardly go beyond 14.4 kbps.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I will give Gestetner DSc-424 8.5 marks for its stellar performance and great printing and copying features.

Gestetner 2212

I had never heard of Gestetner until I started researching printers and copiers for my business. I had always stuck to HP because they had a reputation for quality. They were becoming a little expensive from my usual vendor which is why I began looking around. I saw the 2212 in the showroom and liked it instantly. It isn’t the prettiest machine in the world but it looks solid and is built to last.

Having read reviews of it, and saw it in action I decided to buy it. The vendor installed and connected it all up, so I don’t know how easy it is to do, but the engineer didn’t seem to be here long. I bought the model with the optional automatic document feeder, duplexer and 50 sheet bypass tray. There is quite an array of options to choose from, which took quite a while as some where ‘nice to haves’ while others were essential.

I needed the 2212 mainly as a copier, but it was nice to have the option of network printing, scanning and faxing too. I didn’t bother with the fax, but the other two I ordered.

Printing and copying are what we do most of and the 2212 doesn’t let us down. It prints at 22 pages a minute and keeps on going until paper or toner runs out. The print quality is excellent, much better than our old machine. Text really stands out while images look well done without any of the dark spots we used to get. We don’t need color which is why we went grayscale. The engine makes the different shades of images accurate to a color original which is about all you can ask of it.

The paper drawers and document handlers are good for all sorts of media. The 2212 came with a pair 500 sheet paper drawers, with the option of buying 2 more. The document finisher is an option which I didn’t go for, but that sits on the left of the machine and widens the footprint considerably.

The control panel is a marvel. It’s larger than anything I have seen before and includes a full QWERTY keyboard. It’s touch screen so the buttons surrounding it seem a little redundant. The screen is bright and easy to read, no much squinting required.

I like the Gestetner 2212. It does everything the users ask of it and it hasn’t broken down yet. The toner is cheap and lasts for 11000 pages, while the drum will last 60000. It is built to last, is well engineered and makes the users more productive. An ideal purchase in my mind.
