The Xerox WorkCentre BookMark 40 is a copier designed mainly for copying books.  It is geared toward libraries and universities where books will be the main source material.  It has an angle side panel that protects the spine of a book when copying, keeping the user from having to lay the book completely flat. 

The unit can make copies at a speed of up to 40 pages per minute, and copy quality is sharp with a 4800×600 dpi interpolated resolution.  Paper capacity is a massive 3,600 sheets so the unit will not have to be reloaded often, and it is designed to stand up to the rigors of public use.

Since the unit is designed for public locations, it makes it easy to manage toner levels and usage data.  Toner levels are automatically monitored and alerts can be sent when supplies are getting low.  A wide array of reports and usage data is available from within the machine to track tasks and improve efficiency.

The design of the machine is quite bulky, which is to be expected from a machine of this caliber.  It has multiple paper trays that add quite a bit of height, but it also includes casters, allowing it to be easily rolled into place.  Expansion options such as a vend station, which lets users pay per copy, will of course add even more size to the machine.

The WorkCentre BookMark 40 model even has an optional faxing or printing feature.  For a little extra money, buyers can add the ability to send and receive faxes or print directly from the machine.  Without the optional upgrade, the unit does not have any computer connection available.  With the upgrade, however, it includes not only USB and ethernet ports, but supports for 802.11g and 802.11b Wi-Fi.

The WorkCentre BookMark 40 certainly isn’t for everyone, especially with its bulky size and hefty price tag.  For universities and libraries, however, where copying books is a frequent task, it can be a life-saver, preserving the quality of the originals while providing sharp copies.
