【NEC】 BungoJX70MA,BungoJX50MA

NEC rolled out the JX70MA and JX50MA multimedia word processors in October 1996. The word processors were designed to perform many different routine tasks by including such multimedia functions as color copying and Internet and fax communications in addition to paper-document printing.

The JX70MA and JX50MA had the following features.
  • (1)The printer was able to print on both thick picture postcards and thin paper without paper curling when printing horizontally.
  • (2)The single paper cassette made large print jobs convenient and could accommodate paper sizes from postcards to B4 sheets.
  • (3)Instead of conventional thermal printing, in which the ink on the inked ribbon is melted and transferred to the sheet, the word processors used a sublimation method that vaporizes (sublimates) the ink before fixing it on the sheet. This process reduced color unevenness for photo-quality prints.
  • (4)A color scanner head was incorporated in the printer assembly. Photos and magazine clippings up to A4 size could be scanned by simply loading them in the paper cassette.
  • (5)Digital images could be quickly imported by connecting to a digital camera.
  • (6)Internet sites could be accessed just by choosing a category, and Web pages could be constructed with the feel of creating a document with pictures in a Japanese word processor environment. Created documents could be e-mailed directly.
  • (7)The JX70MA and JX50MA could make color copies, B&W copies, and enlarged or reduced copies. Address records could be created and converted to standard address record formats.
