bizhub C651i/C551i/C451i

Ready when you are

The new bizhub i-Series is fast and always ready to help you out. Warm-up time is less than 14 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.

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.

Memory colour to match your imagination

Printer driver settings on the new bizhub i-Series colour match using memory colours by default. Memory colour has higher brightness and saturation, better reflecting the images people have in mind. Konica Minolta’s colour matching improves satisfaction with print quality by appealing to people’s colour memories.

Custom-size paper is just as easy

All of the new bizhub i-Series MFPs offer standard compatibity 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.

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.

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.

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.

Email RX Print

Print files by attaching them to an email and sending to your MFP’s email address

Supported file formats: PDF, compact PDF, JPEG, TIFF, XPS, compact XPS, OOXML (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx). Requires i-Option LK-110 v2.

Security with Virtual LAN (VLAN) compatibility

Connect to multiple VLAN networks to keep data isolated between networks, without affecting usability. Ideal for offices that secure client’s critical data, or for businesses with internal and external networks, company-only and guest networks or shared offices where MFPs are used by multiple groups.

For more details contact your authorized Konica Minolta retailer.

Print directly from USB

Prioritising security

Nowadays, data protection is a major issue for any company. The new bizhub i-Series delivers advanced security settings through bizhub SECURE, a comprehensive range of services that provide greater protection for customer data stored in the SSD and the MFP’s network settings.

Secure Print

Set a password when you send a document to print via the print driver. The protected document will not print and will be held securely at MFP until the correct password is entered on the operation panel. This feature is useful for confidential documents or when you want to give a limited group of users permission to receive copies.

Secure printing using PC login ID

PC login profiles can be used as ID for secure printing. Users can output secure print jobs quickly and easily without needing to input their username and password at the machine each time.

Output tray light

PC login profiles can be used as ID for secure printing. Users can output secure print jobs quickly and easily without needing to input their username and password at the machine each time.

Encrypted SSD

PC login profiles can be used as ID for secure printing. Users can output secure print jobs quickly and easily without needing to input their username and password at the machine each time.

Multiple ways to authenticate users

User authentication can be customized to best suit your office’s scale and pre-existing systems. As well as multiple authentication options for every-day users, single sign-on (SSO) is also supported for enhanced operability without sacrificing security.

Main unit authentication

The new bizhub i-Series allows you to setup authentication using a username and password on the main unit. Set detailed usage restrictions including copy, print, scan and fax.*

*Requires FK-514 Fax Kit.

IC card authentication

Add the optional IC authentication device to add an additional layer of security with non-contact IC cards such as FeliCa. The device supports SSFC (Shared Security Formats Cooperation) specifications which enable integration of wider staff authentication systems with the new bizhub i-Series. Besides IC cards, authentication is possible using NFC-equipped Android devices registered with MFP via the Konica Minolta Mobile Print app.

Non-contact IC cards are compatible with FeliCa (IDm), SSFC, FCF, FCF (Campus) and MIFARE (UID).

Biometric authentication

If you prefer to avoid having to issue and replace IC cards, Biometric Authentication Device AU-102 is the choice for you. The device uses highly accurate registration of finger veins for quick and easy authentication that supports high-level security systems.

Requires AU-102 Authentication Device and WT-506 Working Table.

Virus scan powered by Bitdefender

Protect your network from threats with virus scanning that covers all data exchanged between the new bizhub i-Series and the external environment, including connections to PCs and mobile or USB devices. Periodic scans can also be scheduled or triggered when needed, covering the MFP’s Box, SMB shared folder and SSD. Powered by Bitdefender, the pattern file is updated immediately upon powering up and checked every four hours. A virus scan icon on the home screen keeps users informed of the scan status.

Requires i-Option LK-116 and an internet environment.

Stronger network security

The more powerful wireless LAN module features Wi-Fi WPA3 for increased security. TLS1.3 compatibility enables high-speed communication with reduced risk. The module also supports enhanced security for cloud connectivity.

Serverless printing in a ubiquitous network

PDF Encryption

• Password

Encrypt PDFs with a password before distribution.

• Digital ID

Only authorised recipients with a private key can decrypt. This is more robust than previous public key systems.

When using Digital ID encryption, the email address (S/MIME send) to which the Digital ID has already been registered must be registered to the MFP's abbreviated address.

• Electronic signature

Electronic signatures certify the author of a document output from the new bizhub i-Series, guaranteeing the document has not been altered and is valid. Third part certifications can also be used.

When using electronic signatures, files should also be encrypted used with password or Digital ID.

High-level ISO/ISE 15408 compliance

The new bizhub i-Series complies with the Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation (ISO/IEC 15408). Konica Minolta is in the process of acquiring third-party certification from the Japan-based Information-technology Promotion Agency (IAP). IAP’s HDC-PP v1.0 standard certifies that all equipment meets the latest requirements for security.

Information security-related certification obtained for this product (and this system) demonstrates compliance with certification requirements as a result of evaluations based on specified evaluation standards and methods, but does not assure that the product (or the system) is completely without weaknesses.
