PRODUCT LAUNCH KONICA MINOLTA A4 BLACK AND WHITE BIZHUB I-SERIES PRINTERS

Hubs for business Konica Minolta has launched four new bizhub i-Series A4 black and white, all-in-one and single-function printers, which are aimed at businesses with larger printer fleets.

For businesses with large print fleets, efficiency is often the key when seeking new print devices, whether they are all in one or single-function devices. Businesses want printers that are efficient on energy and ink use – and efficient for use of employees’ time too. Konica Minolta has been alive to this and has added four new A4 printers to its popular bizhub range aimed at businesses with larger print requirements. The bizhub 4221i/5021i (all-in-one) and 4201i/5001i (single function) devices offer enhanced usability and deliver improved performance, along with advanced connectivity that includes card reader support, barcode printing, Air Print support and dual scan functionality (all-in- one only). The all-in-one models boast a large and easy-to-use touch display, a popular and user-friendly feature included on other devices in the bizhub i-Series range.

This is often achieved through a print management solution, and those that use them benefit from authentication card reader support, which is offered in these models.

The new models can also be integrated with Konica Minolta’s Fleet Remote Monitoring and Management solution (Fleet RMM) to ensure optimised performance and minimal downtime. In addition, to further broaden the functionality of the printers – and therefore the number of potential customers – barcode printing now comes as standard on Konica Minolta’s new devices. For instance, it means these devices are ideal for logistics operations, with labels able to be printed natively from ERP systems such as SAP. Mobile printing is also simplified with native Air Print support, which enables users to print directly from their iOS devices without needing additional apps. Additionally, the bizhub 4221i comes with a dual-scan document feeder, significantly improving scanning speeds for businesses handling large volumes
