With blazing fast print speeds and a maximum monthly duty cycle intended for super intensive office use, the Konica Minolta BizHub C550 heavy duty industrial laser printer is the perfect modern solution for businesses that require a high volume of output, plus an array of current features that will keep your operation moving.
Konica calls it, "360 degree styling," and it means that the Konica Minolta BizHub C550 looks good from any angle, which means that, even floating in the center of the room, the unit would look great. On top of competing for tops spots in all performance categories, Konica Minolta products are also known for having that extra touch of design in their units. This black unit with white trim will certainly stand out in any small office, or at least look cooler than one in Xerox's standard beige.
Despite its sleek design and relatively small footprint, the Konica Minolta BizHub C550 performs as well as the best of them, with a color print speed of up to 45 pages per minute, and black and white print speed of up to 55 pages per minute. It can also scan at a mind blowingly fast rate of 70 scans per minute. To make things even more efficient, scan data can be simultaneously sent to multiple locations including e mail, FTP servers, WebDAV, a desktop, USB, TWAIN, or HDD user boxes.
High speed scanning can be done to multiple destinations directly from the Konica Minolta BizHub C550 via scan to USB and print to USB capabilities. There is even a Biometric Authentication option. As an ideal replacement for legacy printers and copiers, the BizHub comes with high end features such as standard automatic duplexing and a ridiculously large paper capacity of 6,650 sheets.
The unit's powerful built in Emeron print system offers PCL6 / PS3 emulation, along with true XPS printing capability for integrated operation and multifunctionality. Bizhub Extended Solution Technology (bEST) allows for integration with print management software, as well as cost control and networking functions.
Expandability options include powerful finishers such as a booklet finisher that allows users to take full advantage of the Konica Minolta BizHub C550 for attractive, multiple page color pamphlets. An FS-517 stapler finisher can help with stapling and, depending on hardware add ons purchased, sorting, binding, and hole punching options are also available.
All kinds of enhanced security functions are included in this unit, featuring HDD job erase, HDD sanitizing, an HDD lock function, copy protect, secure printing, encrypted password printing, IP address filtering, scan encryption, HDD encryption, authentication, and more, ensuring that documents cannot be stolen or traced in locations where secrecy is a must.
A fax modem is not included standard in the device, but a Super G3 fax option expands the Konica Minolta BizHub C550 into an even more versatile unit with a 2,000 location address book, broadcasting, program dialing, PC faxing, and TSI routing, all accessible though an easy to use touch screen, enhancing the document handling abilities of any office to its fullest.
