This A3 colour multifunctional<br />

peripheral (MFP) provides the full IT<br />

capability of other i-Series products,<br />

but as an entry-level model it is<br />

particularly attractive to companies<br />

with smaller budgets.<br />

Benjamin Licht, Product Manager,<br />

Konica Minolta Business Solutions<br />

Europe GmbH said: “MFPs have<br />

transformed in the wake of digitalisation.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are no longer just a printing device<br />

— they are a link between printed,<br />

physical workflow steps and their virtual,<br />

digital counterparts. <strong>The</strong>y are designed<br />

to make the transitions between the<br />

two types of workflow as seamless and<br />

smooth as possible.”<br />

Thanks to the IT6 platform, the colour<br />

A3 MFP is connected to Konica Minolta<br />

MarketPlace, which is preinstalled on<br />

the device. This allows users to securely<br />

access, implement and manage a wide<br />

range of cloud-based services and<br />

applications. With Open API support,<br />

the bizhub C257i can also be easily<br />

integrated into existing document<br />

workflows with several server-based or<br />

device-based print and scan applications.<br />

<strong>The</strong> bizhub C257i offers a print speed<br />

of 25 ppm and comes with a 6 GB of<br />

memory, three times more than its<br />

predecessors. <strong>The</strong> system storage has<br />

been changed from HDD to 256-GB<br />

SDD for faster read and write speeds.<br />

Furthermore, the scanning speed has<br />

increased to 55 ppm in simplex. <strong>The</strong><br />

bizhub C257i comes with an upgraded<br />

Automatic Document Feeder and a new<br />

50-sheet finisher with manual stapling as<br />

new functionality.<br />

Konica Minolta has equipped the<br />

bizhub C257i with the same security<br />

standards as the other systems from the<br />

bizhub i-Series. <strong>The</strong> anti-virus solution<br />

BitDefender has been embedded in the<br />

firmware and monitors all scanned files<br />

and transferred documents in real time.<br />

Equipped with a large number of<br />

sensors enabling self-diagnosis and use<br />

of the Konica Minolta Remote Service<br />

Platform, the bizhub C257i minimises<br />

downtime and ensures uninterrupted<br />

use. Consumables such as toner are<br />

delivered proactively, and a maintenance<br />

technician can be called automatically<br />

when needed. ■<br />
