Chennai, June 11: Expanding its production printer portfolio in India, Japan-based imaging and networking technology company Konica Minolta on Monday launched its new printer line-up named "AccurioPress C3080" at the "Print Expo 2018" here.

The mid-production digital printer series will come with support for auto-duplex banner printing up to 762-mm, print speeds of 81 pages per minute (ppm) and 45ppm in monochrome and colour for A4 and A3 print jobs, respectively, with a maximum sheet capacity of 15,390 A4 sheets and full range of in-line finishing options.

"Along with IQ-501 Intelligent 'Quality Optimiser' that provides automated quality controls, including registration, front-to-back alignment, image gradation and density, the new product also comes with a new colour dual scanner capable of operating at up to 240 images per minute (ipm) and a double-feed detection kit to avoid scanning two sheets at once," the company said in a statement.

The "air suction feeding mechanism" is aimed at reducing paper jam by adding another paper tray in addition to three paper feeder (PF)-707 trays.

The inclusion of a relay unit (RU-518) would also eliminate paper curl, the company claimed.

"Its multifunctional design and large capacity unit are well-suited for banner printing jobs such as book covers, three-fold menus, catalogues and sales promotion tools," the company added.

Patiala: Students of Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law (RGNUL), Patiala, are protesting against Vice Chancellor Prof. Jai Shankar Singh after his unannounced visit to the girls' hostel, which they claim violated their privacy.

The protest intensified following allegations that Singh made inappropriate comments regarding the clothing of female students.

A video circulating on social media shows the Vice Chancellor inspecting the rooms of female students. When students objected, Singh was seen explaining that he was accompanied by a female warden.

However, students argued that university rules do not permit even parents to enter the hostel, raising concerns over the VC's visit.

The student body has demanded Singh's resignation, stating that a male authority figure should not be allowed in female students' private spaces, regardless of being accompanied by female staff.

In response, Singh clarified that the visit was due to complaints regarding hostel amenities and food quality. He issued an unconditional apology during an address to the students, expressing that he viewed all female students as his granddaughters.
