Let Muratec's digital MFX-2500
serve as your office's:

  • 25-page-per-minute copier
  • 2.8-second-per-page fax
  • Duplexing network printer
  • High-speed TWAIN scanner

 

Muratec's new MFX-2500 is the complete digital copier that's more useful, by design. Here's what that message means for you:

The MFX-2500 is a complete copier,
right out of the box.

Just install the 25 copy-per-minute MFX-2500, add some paper and start making copies: The MFX-2500 includes a 50-sheet automatic document feeder as a standard feature. On most competing units, adding an ADF adds more than $1000 to the cost of a system (and what good is a copier without an ADF?). On some units, even the platen is an extra-cost item!

A more useful digital copier,
right out of the box.

Compare the MFX-2500 to its competition and you'll see that it is virtually the only product to offer all these features: the ability to program copy jobs in advance, an interrupt function, center/edge erase, margin shift, N-in-1 combine, N-in-1 repeat, user programs, and copy access features.

A complete high-speed fax,
right out of the box.

On the MFX-2500, fax capabilities were designed in from the start, not added as an afterthought. So on the MFX-2500, you can copy, fax, program, scan and more, all at the same time. Compare that to the gimpy performance of some competing units, which disable one feature while you use another.

Ready to use, right out of the box.
With the MFX-2500, there are no unpleasant surprises. A full-yield drum and toner bottle are included with every unit.

Powerful print and scan options.
Your office can take advantage of the MFX-2500 in even more ways, by adding Muratec's TWAIN scanning option and PC or network printing option. In fact, you can team Muratec's print option with the MFX-2500's duplexing option for high-speed duplex network printing, all at an incredible price!

The right product,
and the right manufacturer
Muratec has been making digital office equipment for longer than most competitors in the copier market. While copiers were still using analog technology—which requires more moving parts and is prone to higher service requirements—Muratec was designing and manufacturing award-winning digital multifunctional products and fax machines.

In fact, Muratec's product line is the most honored line of digital MFPs and fax in North America. You can feel safe choosing the Muratec MFX-2500 because it offers a proven set of components: The print engine in the MFX-2500 has already been proven in tens of thousands of applications worldwide. The digital controllers and fax systems are made in Muratec's ISO 9001-certified plants in Japan. And the complete system is support by your local copier dealership, who provides support whenever you need it.
