Both ranges of A4 and A3 multi-function printers are highly sophisticated, supporting many advanced functionalities while reducing administrator, training and maintenance efforts. They employ OpenAPI, Konica Minolta’s unique Application Programming Interface, which supports various third-party applications. In addition, OpenAPI allows users to have seamless integration possibilities into their existing workflows and existing printers’ fleet for optimal print management.
