bizhub C227i/C287i

Voice guidance

Voice guidance offers support such as reading out fax numbers, explaining major screens and keys, and key-related operations. It also assists panel operation and prevents mis-operation.

This function is only for use in enlarged displays on copy, fax and scan screens. Requires i-Option LK-104 v3, key pad KP-102, Expansion SSD EM-907 and device connection I/F kit EK-608 or EK-609.

Colour Universal Design

Konica Minolta has received Colour Universal Design certification from Japan’s Colour Universal Design Organization (CUDO).

In validation tests using subjects with four types of colour-vision deficiencies, (red and green blindness, red and green weakness), CUDO confirmed that regardless of the deficiency, information transmission in colour by this unit functioned correctly.

bizhub SECURE services

Data protection is a major issue for most companies. bizhub delivers advanced security settings through bizhub SECURE services, a total security setting service that provides greater protection for customer data stored in the SSD and device's network settings.

Optional Expansion SSD EM-907 is required.

Secure printing

By setting a password for documents on the printer driver screen, the document is stored on the MFP's SSD until the correct password is input on the operation panel. The document is protected without being output until the password set for that document is matched. This is useful when you wish to print confidential documents or give permission for limited users to receive copies.

Virus scanning

The bizhub C287i series is equipped with robust antivirus software based on an embedded Bitdefender scan engine to ensure safe connection to devices including PCs, tablets, and USB flash drives. Scanning individual files means much finer virus detection than with the whitelist method alone. Latent viruses in the office are discovered through checking and notification when files are input. Checking when files are output from the MFP also prevents dissemination of infected files. Further periodic checking of files in the MFP discovers risky files and detects latent risks in the MFP. Real time virus scan jobs are available for print, scan and fax functions, while manual or scheduled virus scans are possible for folders such as SMB folders on the Box and SSD.

Requires i-Option LK-116 and Expansion SSD EM-907.

Requires an internet environment.

Serverless printing in a ubiquitous network

The bizhub C287i series achieves serverless printing in aubiquitous network that outputs previously sent print jobs from any desired MFP in the office network, after authentication. As a base unit for printing, it works as a print server, which enables the easy, low-cost creation of a serverless printing system for ubiquitous computing.

A print system in a ubiquitous network can be created for up to 100 units.Each MFP requires the i-Option LK-114 option. To use C287i series models as base units Expansion SSD EM-907 is required

Worldwide Remote Service Platform

We developed new services leveraging IoT so users can focus on their core business. i-Series intelligently collects data for self-diagnostic and remote maintenance, as well as predicts the optimum replacement time for parts and consumables to minimise downtime.

Bizhub Connectors

The operation panel connects to various cloud services*1 and corporate internal server SharePoint 2007/2010/2013/2016, enabling connectivity for scan data uploads or direct printing. After logging in to the bizhub, users can also automatically log in under silent mode by entering and saving authentication information to services such as the cloud.

Adoption of colour matching,corresponding to “memory colour”

Printer driver colour settings have been revised to perform colour matching corresponding to default “memory colour settings”. “Memory colour settings” refer to colours that most people recall as being brighter and more saturated than reality. Konica Minolta’s colour matching improves satisfaction with print quality by strongly appealing to people’s colour memories.

Copy both sides of an ID card onto one sheet with Card Shot function

When copying both sides of an irregular-sized original, such as a license or business card, the front and back sides of the card can be automatically arranged to be printed on the same side of one sheet. Easy copying is possible by selecting the Card Shot app on the User Interface.

Lightweight paper trays

Paper trays handle easily and open/close smoothly with a light press and pull motion. Trays can be removed for retrieval of jammed paper, which equates to less downtime.

Box storage of received data promotes a paperless environment

Received fax data is automatically sorted according to TSI (Transmitting Subscriber Identification) and automatically stored in the bizhub’s Box. Setting automatic transfer to client PC or email addresses saves both effort and cost in sorting and distributing received documents. Forwarding to the bizhub’s SMB shared folder is also possible. The bizhub C287i series can also handle functions such as forwarding faxes and TSI-sorted received faxes. The increase in storage destinations for received faxes will further promote a paperless environment.

Check and print received faxes with Compulsory Memory Receive Box

Received faxes can be checked, managed and printed in a few easy steps by setting the Compulsory Memory Receive Box in the home screen. As the user can select which faxes need to be printed, this function is effective in preventing unnecessary outputs, thus reducing printing costs
