Panasonic C3

In an unusual move, Panasonic on Tuesday decided to shake up the normally dull world of photocopiers with the C3. Rather than use safer beige or gray, the multifunction device comes in black, blue, red, and yellow -- a choice that can improve not only their appeal but also the moods of the workers who have to use the machines daily, the company claims.

Two versions of the copier are available: the basic C264S2 line prints at 26 pages per minute in color or monochrome with the ability to copy, fax, print, and scan from its 40GB hard drive, a 10Mbps Ethernet connection, and PC Card or SD card slots; the higher-end C354S2 prints black-and-white faster at 35 pages per minute and adds 100Mbps Ethernet to the device for larger documents. Every C3 model should be available today, though pricing is only to be found through dealers.
