Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. November 2012 - Konica Minolta’s new colour multifunctional, the bizhub C654, focuses on usability in every respect and set new standards in individual user convenience and customisation. The new office printers feature Konica Minolta’s INFO-Palette design, a new touch screen interface with a wealth of functions allowing more advanced accessibility and making work more fun than ever before. The products offer a broad range of smart applications and software to enhance their productivity, coupled with fast speed and superior colour quality output.

The newest generation of office systems, Konica Minolta bizhub C654, give users a multitude of functions and possibilities with a simple touch. The bright 9-inch colour touch screen features multi-touch functionality with the intuitive “touch-and-swipe” interface that is well known from smart phones and tablet PCs. With simplified menus and customisable icons, users have it all in their hands – and work faster and smarter than before.

The devices are always ready for the next job thanks to their fast warm-up time of approximately 22 seconds, high-speed printing and long-lasting consumables. With fast output speeds of up to 60 ppm in colour and 65 ppm in black and white, it can produce customised, full-colour content in-house and on-demand, saving both time and money.

This new bizhub series also includes standard dual scanning. The document feeder achieves a scanning speed of up to 180ipm, scanning both sides of the original. Even mixed originals of different sizes as well as a mix of single- and double-sided prints can be scanned with maximum efficiency. The devices filter blank pages automatically during the scanning process.

The remarkably eco-friendly design and concern for power saving, waste reduction and the use of eco materials in their construction underline the bizhub C654’s advanced “green” usability. New features like the dynamic eco timer, which analyses working conditions and automatically adjusts sleep mode and ready timings, contribute especially to the ecological and economical performance of the devices.

“Even though new technologies offer plenty of new possibilities for more efficient office environments, the increasing number of devices required and the long lists of features can easily have the opposite effect. So one of the focus areas for the development of the new bizhub C654 was overall usability,” says Jennifer Lam, Product Marketing, Konica Minolta Business Solutions (M) Sdn. Bhd. “The new menu structure, icon-based description, multi-touch operation and customisation options will enable users to use them intuitively and make work more fun with the overall functionality of the bizhub C654.”

The Konica Minolta INFO-Palette design, a new touch screen interface, allows more advanced accessibility than ever before. With fast output speeds of up to 60 ppm in colour and 65 ppm in black and white, it can produce customised full-colour content in-house and on-demand, saving both time and money.
