1. Introduction Konica Minolta introduces the new bizhub 350 / 250, with respective copying and printing speeds of 35 and 25 pages per minute (A4). As empowered MFPs, both of these compact new models bring together digital copying, network printing, scanning, and faxing (option) functions into an all-in-one package that eliminates redundancy in small to mid-size offices.
2. Market Trends and Positioning 1 Market Trends With the extensive expansion of broadband capabilities in most world markets, high-speed networking infrastructure has become the standard goal for business. Offices seeking business machines are therefore as concerned with output speed as with value-added networking capabilities. The entire market is on the verge of a major push toward office color capabilities, as early as 2006.
3. About the bizhub Brand Leading the way with advanced business solutions that put users in control. That’s what bizhub does best. Ubiquitous The days of being tethered to the office to get work done are history. Users and administrators have access to the full range of bizhub capabilities at the console, at their desktop or on the other side of the world. Data assets move smoothly and securely, keeping costs low and enabling a new, truly mobile workstyle.
4. Features and Functions 1 Scan & Send 1) High-speed Network Scanning Function Thanks to the RADF, documents are digitalised at a speed of 41 opm at 600 dpi and 70 opm at 200 dpi. High-speed scanning is complemented by the ability to share softcopy and send it to a variety of destinations. Information flows more freely and is easier to archive. Specifications Max.
4. Features and Functions 5) Scan to FTP This function enables scanned documents to be uploaded as TIFF or PDF data to an FTP server either on an office LAN or over the Internet. Storage on the FTP server is in a specified directory. PCs on the same network can be used to access the server and download the stored documents. This is a highly effective way to share large volumes of data that would otherwise be difficult to send via e-mail.
4. Features and Functions 9) IP Scanner Functions The IP Scanner function can be used to send data to a specified computer on the network. On a PC, users create a one-touch scan button that is then displayed on the bizhub 350 / 250 control panel. Sent data is saved to a folder with the same name as the scan button. Before sending, scanner settings including scanner key name, scan area and quality can be specified.
4. Features and Functions 2 Network Printing 1) Network Printing Function (standard) The bizhub 350 / 250 come standard equipped with an internal printer controller to satisfy the diverse needs of today’s digital offices.
