Five 4-star performers
'Highly Recommended' BERTL certificates for Océ VarioPrint systems
Venlo, the Netherlands, 14 November 2006—BERTL, an independent, industry-leading source of product evaluation reports and comparative analyses, tests hundreds of devices each year. Only a small number qualify for a highly prestigious 4-star 'Highly Recommended' rating, which is reserved for those that deliver business-critical features and provide potential buyers with a good ROI. Five Océ multifunctionals—the Océ VarioPrint 1055/1065/1075 and 2062/2075—recently received the 4-star 'Highly Recommended' award.
BERTL's evaluation reports, customer satisfaction research, awards and product ratings are undertaken entirely at BERTL's expense for the benefit of its international subscriber base. BERTL's primary focus is always on the end user. 
As one of the industry's premier sources for objective product-evaluation reports, BERTL Certificates are held in high esteem. So Océ is particularly proud to announce that five of its multifunctionals have been awarded 4-star 'Highly Recommended' ratings.

What BERTL considers strengths:
User-friendly paper path and jam removal design
BERTL testers experienced a 'warm glow to the heart' when evaluating the paper path and jam removal design - especially after experiencing other multifunctionals that 'require an engineering degree and much patience to clear jams'.
Sophisticated mailbox technology
The Océ SMART Mailbox and TouchTo print technologies provide solutions that can 'limit downtime, maintain higher security levels and lower user frustration'.
Lowest user intervention rate with Océ ScanLogic
Océ Scan Logic's no-compromise ability to capture text and images impressed the BERTL testers. The result was the 'lowest OCR user intervention rate'.
Why BERTL awarded 4-star 'Highly Recommended' ratings:
Price brings Océ technology to broader range of customers
The BERTL report highlights the fact that 'the price point of the Océ 20 series and 10 series allows Océ technology to enter the budget for an even wider range of customers than ever before'. Independent proof that these Océ multifunctionals offer extremely good value for money.
Durable, reliable, easy-to-maintain design
BERTL has published thousands of comparative analyses on digital imaging devices. So when BERTL praises the 'durable, reliable and easy-to-maintain design' of the Océ VarioPrint devices compared to traditional multifunctional printers (MFPs), they know what they are talking about.
More frequent one-touch copying
Few office users are experts at operating a multifunctional device so ease of use is a business-critical criterion in evaluating any such device. The Océ Image Logic technology installed in the Océ VarioPrint multifunctionals 'allows one-touch green button copying for a much higher percentage of time compared to typical MFPs'. And one-touch copying means ease of operation.
User-friendly and efficient batch scanning
A user-friendly and efficient batch scanning solution is particularly useful in environments such as corporate post rooms or law firms handling discovery deliveries. Several features of the Océ VarioPrint 1055/1065/1075 are seen by the BERTL testers as favouring such solutions: Scan Logic, which 'delivers very high-quality data capture even at lower resolutions', the feed-while-scanning document feeder, SMART scan profiles and the on-the-fly stapler remover/online stapler.
Walk-up convenience printing
Office users just want to walk up to a multifunctional and print, copy or scan. The Océ Pocket Mailbox, TouchTo Print and SMART Mailbox functions of these award-winning multifunctionals offer the kind of convenience 'others do not offer'. And as the BERTL report points out, that brings even more 'efficiency benefits to the office'.
