Cabinets and castors can be further customized to suit the office environment and usage settings. Configurations can be freely customized, from A4 submachines in large offices to small home office and shop machines.

Enhanced 1,200 dpi resolution

bizhub C4050i series achieves a 1,200-dpi print resolution with superb ability to reproduce small font sizes and fine lines. Such faithful reproduction capability improves document legibility and produces beautiful, high-quality print-outs. *Slows down printing speed.

Standard USB port

A USB port is standard equipment, located on the side of the main unit’s operation panel. After inserting a USB flash drive, printing procedures pop up on the touch screen, and the flash drive data can be directly printed or saved to a box in the unit with a few easy steps.

^* May not operate correctly depending on the type of USB flash drive

^* Supported file formats: PDF, compact PDF, JPEG, TIFF, XPS, compact XPS, and OOXML (.docx/.xlsx/.pptx).

^* Printing results may differ from the image on the PC screen.

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

SCAN

The Scan functions deliver high performance and high functionality from speed, quality, and distribution to storage.

Outstanding scan performance

Automatic duplex, simultaneous scanning with an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), achieves high-speed scanning of 200 ppm (100 double-sided sheets per minute). Up to 100 sheets ^* can be set at any one time, significantly reducing scanning time and effort. The precision of automatic skew correction, which adjusts the angle of the scanned original, has been greatly improved to deliver highly accurate scanning with less skew.

^* 80gsm

Double feed detection sensor

Applying ultrasonic waves to the original distinguishes a layer of air between each page and detects double feeds. When a double feed is detected, a preview of the original that has already been scanned will be displayed so that the job can be restarted without repeating the whole scanning operation from the beginning.

^* Requires Upgrade Kit UK-P19 option

Paper Size Measurement function This function automatically measures irregular-sized paper placed on the platen glass. The size of the measured paper can also be registered in Bizhub’s memory. It can be utilized in offices that handle irregular paper sizes like slips and vouchers. Scan to URL function. Equipped with a Scan to URL function which stores Scan data within the bizhub, then emails the storage destination URL to the user. This enables easy transmission of large volume data that cannot be attached to emails.

Digitization of paper documents

Documents can be scanned and converted to PDF or OOXML format files. File format can be selected according to the business and intended use, which broadens the scope of secondary use.

ECO FRIENDLY

A range of environmental considerations is made, from outer case materials to power consumption.

Adoption of recycled materials

Konica Minolta has further refined our original chemical processing technology, which now uses recycled PC/PET for exterior and interior materials. As a result, the use of recycled materials has increased to about 60%, as a surface area ratio. Proactive adoption of recycled materials contributes to the effective use of resources and promotes corporate environmental protection.
