A secure and intuitive workplace is what the new bizhub i-Series brings to your business. Thanks to Konica Minolta MarketPlace, you have access to a constantly evolving array of specialised applications to tailor your bizhub MFP to your office work style and needs. Applications on the platform are constantly being upgraded and developed to stay ahead of the dynamic demands of today’s business.
Ready when you are
The new bizhub i-Series is fast and always ready to help you out. Warm-up time is less than 13 seconds for all of the i-Series MFPs. First Copy Out Time, the time it takes to output the first print, and panel reset time are also speedy to keep you productive.
High-quality output
Print at 1,200 dpi resolution for excellent reproduction of small font sizes and detailed design. Outstanding resolution capabilities ensure enhanced legibility of documents and sharp reproduction of fine lines.
Printing at 1,200 dpi slows printing speed.
Non-image Area Erase
Often times, making copies from odd-size or thick materials can produce unwanted shadows on the outside of the image. Non-image Area Erase automatically detects the document area and eliminates the shadow or dark areas surrounding the image. This is ideal for scanning receipts and multiple pages from thick books with the document cover open.
Easy-to-use paper trays
The lightweight paper trays on the new bizhub i-Series open and close smoothly with a light press or pull motion. Moreover, in the case of a paper jam, the paper trays can be easily removed to fix the jam.
Custom-size paper is just as easy
All of the new bizhub i-Series MFPs offer standard compatibility for custom-size paper on two front-loading paper trays. Universal Tray 1 can hold up to 200 post cards or 70 envelopes for easy printing without having to use the side-loading manual feed tray, saving space and increasing efficiency. Universal Paper Tray 2 can handle paper sizes from A5 to SRA3.
Automatic copy area detection
Non-standard-size documents placed on the platen glass or in the ADF are automatically measured and the size can be registered and saved for future use. This function is ideal for businesses that constantly handle odd-size documents such as tickets or vouchers.
Banner printing
The new bizhub i-Series MFPs can easily take over various printing operations that previously had to be outsourced, such as POS materials or banners. Supports extra-long printing up to 1,200 mm and paper widths from 90 mm to 297 mm.
MK-730 Banner Print Guide is recommended.
Print from the in-panel web browser
Websites can be displayed on the operation panel and printed directly. Specify pages of web-hosted PDF files to print out only what you need. Convenient for quickly printing maps or company contacts before heading to an appointment.
Print directly from USB
A standard USB port is located to the right of the new bizhub i-Series operation panel. When a USB memory device is inserted, options will automatically appear on the operation panel, allowing you to print directly or save items to the MFP’s Box in a few easy steps.
Some USB devices may not be supported. Supported file formats: PDF, compact PDF, JPEG, TIFF, XPS, compact XPS, OOXML (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx).
Email RX Print
Print files by attaching them to an email and sending to your MFP’s email address.
