SECAUCUS, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 6, 2003

BERTL(R) (Digital Test Lab(R)) Says the Panasonic WORKiO(R) DP-3010 Digital Imaging System, Which Copies, Prints, Scans and Faxes, is Equipped with More Standard Functionality Than Other MFPs in Its Class

Most multifunction products in the same class must be upgraded in order to achieve a level of functionality that is even comparable to Panasonic's WORKiO(R) DP-3010 standard package. That's just one of the findings contained in a report issued by BERTL(R), a leading independent testing laboratory with facilities in both the U.S. and UK. In the report, BERTL gives the WORKiO DP-3010 its 4-star "Highly Recommended" rating.

Mark Nadel, BERTL's director of competitive intelligence, describes the DP-3010 as "one of the more solid performers we've seen in its class." He says that unlike a number of competitors in the departmental workgroup category, the Panasonic WORKiO DP-3010 offers a great deal of standard functionality. "This was an important consideration in giving BERTL's 4-star 'Highly Recommended' rating to the DP-3010," Nadel said.
