Visioneer Throws its Hat into the Laser-Printer Market with New Rabbit Printer Brand

Visioneer, Inc., a California-based provider of document scanners and software, has entered the laser-printer market with a new laser-printer brand, the Visioneer  Rabbit printer brand. The first model in the series – tagged as “simple, speedy mobile-ready printers” – is the Visioneer Rabbit PC30dwn Printer/Copier. 

The monochrome laser Visioneer Rabbit PC30dwn uses LED printing technology, is rated at up to 30 ppm, and features automatic duplex printing; Gigabit Ethernet & WiFi  connectivity; 250-sheet input tray; and convenience copier module for copy and scan.

Compatible with Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac, and Linux Ubuntu operating systems, the Visioneer Rabbit PC30dwn is mobile-ready for use with Mopria Print Service and Apple AirPrint. Also included is ABBYY FineReader PDF and OCR software to create, edit, secure-sign, and search PDFs

“We’re very excited to introduce the Visioneer Rabbit brand to the marketplace,” commented Jim Tamo, president of Visioneer. “We know there is real demand for affordable print devices that deliver value, ease-of-use, and connectivity. Combined with Visioneer’s industry-leading customer support, we believe the Visioneer Rabbit PC30dwn will stand out as the printer of choice.”

Five configurations are available. The first configuration ($199 .99 MSRP) provides a starter toner cartridge; the second configuration ($274.99) provides a starter toner cartridge plus one standard-yield replacement toner cartridge; the third configuration ($339.99 ) provides a starter toner cartridge plus two standard-yield replacement toner cartridges; and the fourth configuration ($479.99 ) provides a starter toner cartridge plus three standard-yield replacement toner cartridges, all of which are available on Visioneer’s website here.

Our Take

It may seem like an odd time to get into the desktop-printer market, but Visioneer has been in the document-imaging business for some 30 years, and printers complement its existing document-imaging offerings. These offerings include Visioneer and Xerox professional document scanners, as well as the Visioneer Intelligent Software Platform for end-to-end document capture and conversion, including PDF and OCR conversion software, image-correction software, etc.
