ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, June 15, 2000 - The benefits of PLUS Corporation's PC-compatible electronic copyboards will now be plain to see in living color, as the company expands its plain paper copyboard line-up at the INFOCOMM 2000 Show opening today in Anaheim, California.

The new PLUS BF-040CP Series are the world's first PC-connectable plain paper copyboards that allow users to communicate in living color by printing text and graphics in red, blue, black and green to either a personal computer or optional InkJet plain paper printer. The new PLUS BF-040CP Series is being unveiled at Booth #2437 in the Anaheim Convention Center.

"In a world that is becoming increasingly information-driven by the day, professional communicators and managers have come to rely upon electronic copyboards as the one sure way to make certain that everyone stays on the same page," today explained PLUS Director of Sales Jim Hurst. "With an electronic copyboard at the center of a meeting or presentation, everyone can concentrate on what is being communicated - knowing that the final result can be immediately printed out and/or downloaded to a personal computer."

According to Hurst, "Communications professionals are asking for more copyboard options and PLUS is meeting that request with a four color plain paper copyboard series that delivers full featured performance, reliability and value - and the ability to print text and graphics in red, green, blue and black. Plain paper copyboards represent the fastest growing segment of the market today and the new PLUS BF-040CP Series of copyboards, together with our current BF-030PP Series of black and white plain paper copyboards, will help us to meet the performance requirements of this growing customer base."

The new PLUS BF-040CP Series of four-color plain paper copyboards are available in both standard-sized (two 36" X 51" writing panels) and wide-sized (two 36" X 71" writing panels) models that are compatible for use with the following Hewlett-Packard DeskJet color printers: 970Cse/xi, 950C, 952C, 930C, 932C, 895Cse/xi, 880C, 882C, 840C, 842C, 830C, 832C, 810C, and 812C (all of which are optional purchases).

With the PLUS BF-040CP Series, users can print and/or download text and graphics in either black and white or in red, green, blue and black to either a compatible Hewlett-Packard printer or to a personal computer. Printing modes include Color High Quality for maximum color density, Color Economy for value, or standard Black and White. Regardless of the print mode selected, all PLUS BF-040CP Series copyboards feature built-in Windows 95/98 PC compatibility and include PLUS Corporation's TWAIN Driver Software, which can download information to a personal computer with TWAIN-supported graphic software.

"The BF-040CP Series of four color plain paper copyboards is available for immediate delivery," Hurst explained, "The standard-sized model will carry a suggested list price of $2,395 and the wide-sized model will carry a suggested list price of $2,695."
