Page 4: Features
Features The Copyboard is a business machine, a whiteboard having an added copying function. It is also called an electronic blackboard. This is a very easy-to-use product equipped with motorized sheet feed- ing that enables copying from a desired position as well as manual sheet movement, and an easy-to-clean pen tray among other features. The Copyboard comes in “real” board sizes of 1300 (W) × 920 mm (H) (and 1800 (W) × 920 mm (H) for Model M-11W). Now you can write down and capture a streaming flow of ideas without missing any. Stylish and Functional Design Retaining the design of the existing M-10 Series, the color has been changed to harmonize with the latest office environments. The operation panel and USB ports have been arranged at the right side to combine a clean-cut design and ease of use. The height of the main unit can be adjusted up and down 3 levels from the standard position. Wall mounting is also permitted. Regular Paper Can be Written on and Kept as a Record A press of the “Print” button on the operation panel quickly prints what has been hand written on the sheet surface to regular A4 size paper. -
