"In addition to their outstanding overall performance, including strong reliability, both of these models set themselves apart from a large majority of their competitors by providing all of their functionality-faxing, including walk-up, PC, network and Internet, convenience copying, and network printing and scanning-as standard," said Lynn Nannariello, senior editor at BLI. "Noteworthy is that the fx3000 is one of the least expensive devices in its market segment to offer all of these functions standard.  "The fx2080 delivers more advanced capability, such as advanced fax routing and automatic document archiving, for our customers with more sophisticated document management or regulatory compliance needs," said Tom O' Neill, director of product marketing for Océ Imagistics. Lynn Nannariello added, "The fx2080 has set new records in BLI's testing of fax-centric products with the highest toner yield and lowest cost per copy."

"Océ Imagistics is honored to receive these BLI 'Pick of the Year' awards for the fx3000 and fx2080," continued O'Neill.  "These new 'Pick of the Year' awards once again confirm the success of the Océ Imagistics 'best of breed' strategy in bringing to our customers the best products and technology available in the market. We are proud to add these to the long list of awards the Océ Imagistics product line continues to receive."
