PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The new bizhub i-Series secures your business, and is easy to use.

The digital revolution continues to change the way we do business. We require the freedom to readily access data to keep work flowing at the speed business demands. Unfortunately, this can lead to a less secure environment if you’re not vigilant. That’s why Konica Minolta developed the new bizhub i-Series: to keep you in touch with all of your vital resources in a secure and simple-to-use environment.

Simplifying work

The User Interface has been completely revamped with an operation panel screen with smart device-style operability. Operation has been simplified by narrowing down functions and screen transitions to frequently-used functions.

GUI operation panel with a choice of two panel styles

The user can switch between two panel styles as required: the new GUI Basic Style characterised by simple operation, and the conventional Classic Style utilising advanced settings and functions. Basic Style also offers an intuitive Simple Copy screen

Make tasks simple with purpose-specific apps

The bizhub C287i series simplifies operation with on-screen animated instructions that guide users through tasks. Operations can be performed smoothly in just a few easy steps.

Non-image area erase function For users who want to copy with the document cover open, and/or want to omit the shadowy areas around the scanned images of things such as books.

Indicator lights

The bizhub C287i series has been installed with a new LED light that gently harmonises with the office environment. The LED is located for good visibility and indicates data receipt or accumulation. It is designed to be easily visible when users forget to collect documents from the output tray

Thorough Protection of Office Information

Data security is an ongoing concern in the corporate world. Konica Minolta works tirelessly to keep clients’ documents secure, in both digital and paper formats. By including cutting edge security functions in all Konica Minolta technologies, we aim to reduce the burden on IT administrators.

Various types of user authentication

Optimal authentication systems can be customised to suit office scale and pre-existing systems. The bizhub C287i series also supports single sign-on (SSO) which enhances operability without sacrificing security

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.

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

Encrypted PDFs

• Password encryption
  Documents distributed in PDF format can be password encrypted.
  

• Digital ID encryption
  Only authorised recipients with a private key can decrypt. This ensures a far more robust level of security than the previous public key system.If encrypting with Digital ID, the email address (S/MIME send) to which the Digital ID has already been registered must be registered to the MFP’s abbreviated address.
  Requires the i-Option LK-102 v3 and Expansion SSD EM-907.
  

• Electronic signatures
  Electronic signatures certify (MFP) document authors, and also guarantee that the document has not been changed and is valid. Certifications by third party organisations can also be used.
  Requires i-Option LK-102 v3 and Expansion SSD EM-907
