Black & white professionals

for colour workflows

Today, almost every workflow involves colour in some form or other. Colour output is not always required, but
colour input, via colour scanning, is essential in the modern office. Colour is indispensable for the electronic work­flows of teams, workgroups and departments in more or less any business field, including banking, finance and
insurance, accounting and personnel. Konica Minolta satisfies these demands with its range of innovative work­flow professionals that combine comprehensive black & white output capabilities with flexible and creative colour
input functionality.

n With their fast and efficient colour scanning features,

the bizhub 223, bizhub 283, bizhub 363 and bizhub
423 integrate seamlessly into any workflow. In
combination with b/w output speeds of 22/28/36/42
pages per minute, the workflow professionals
en hance existing output fleets with exactly the
appropriate capabilities. As true A3 multifunctionals,
they provide complete office communication func­tionality and print, copy, scan and fax.

n In combination with Konica Minolta’s efficient and

versatile software applications, the bizhub 223, 283,
363 and 423 are ideal tools for efficient document
capture and distribution workflows, helping to save
time and reduce costs. They perfectly complement the
Konica Minolta bizhub portfolio that covers b/w speeds
between 22 and 75 ppm and colour speeds from 22
to 50 ppm. All of these Konica Minolta multifunctionals
adhere to the bizhub OP concept, feature the same
Universal Design, operation and feature set, and can
be enhanced with extended applications and solutions.

Power, innovation and efficiency

for scan workflows

Fast scanning in colour and b/w

bizhub 223, 283, 363 and 423 are perfect in- and
output tools for any situation that requires produc­tive colour scanning with b/w printing or copying.
As highly efficient and versatile scanners for up to
A3 format they make the little desktop A4 scanners
obsolete and also do away with the need for sepa­rate scan stations.

All four bizhubs scan up to 70 hard originals per
minute in both colour and black & white. The com­plete scanning functionality of scan to email (Home),
FTP, SMB, Box (HDD required), USB, and TWAIN is
standard; and with JPEG, TIFF, PDF, compact PDF,
XPS and compact XPS, the bizhub 423 series
processes all relevant formats.

Same as the other innovative products in the
bizhub portfolio, the bizhub 423 series features
bEST, Konica Minolta's bizhub Extended Solution
Technology. beST offers a gateway to extended doc­ument capturing and distribution applications that
make the workflow professionals ideal input tools for
teams, workgroups and small departments.

Document capture and distribution

Among the features indispensable to modern office
communication are the digitisation and indexing of
documents; OCR implementation, conversion to
specific file formats like PDF/A, and direct docu­ment distribution to existing business applications.
The bizhub 423 series can be optionally upgraded
with such comprehensive document capturing and
distribution capabilities.

And with full panel integration of the software, no
separate hardware is required. Document archiving
workflows can for example be started directly at the
bizhub panel, inputting all required information like
document type and additional index fields during
the scan process so that no further treatment of the
scans in the PC is needed.

Additionally, an extensive range of optional connec­tors provides access to almost any imaginable back­end application, including Document Management
Systems, Enterprise Content Management Systems,
Microsoft® SharePoint, and more.

In this way, bEST enables easy adaptation of the
bizhub 423 series to close the gap to customer
environments.

Complete compatibility

for unified workflows

Accounting workflows

The PageScope Account Manager enables the
central collection of detailed counter readings of all
registered devices plus the resulting cost calcula­tion – and all this via a single interface. Counters
no longer need to be triggered individually, saving
considerable administrator time and effort. Individual
output limitations set by the administrator for each
user help reduce print volumes and output costs.
Users’ volume limitations are reliably tracked across
all networked output devices, making cost control
even more effective. Offering fast access to detailed
cost information of departments and projects, the
Account Manager is also a perfect tool to increase
cost consciousness among users and optimise out­put volumes at the same time. In turn, the detailed
usage reports facilitate the optimisation of the output
infrastructure on the basis of actual usage patterns.
All this considerably enhances the overall efficiency
and productivity.

Authentication workflows

The central management of the user database and
user rights is simple and straightforward via the
PageScope Authentication Manager. Saving time
and enjoying enhanced efficiency, administrators can
quickly and easily program authentication details.
Users benefit from enhanced flexibility and conven­ience with the immediate yet secure login via finger
vein scanner or non-contact IC card.

Authentication is also the precondition for follow-me
printing, which takes user convenience as well as
security aspects to new dimensions. Not only are
follow-me printing workflows ideal for confidential
printing anywhere; they also facilitate print fleet
optimisation. Both pull printing and secure print­ing are available on every bEST OpenAPI-capable
system in the network. Printed information is reli­ably safe as only the document owner can release
prints directly at the device. This simple but effective
method avoids wasting paper and helps reduce print
volumes – output trays are no longer cluttered with
redundant prints that might fall into the wrong hands.

This is also the ideal tool to implement efficient cost
reductions, through the optimisation of the print fleet
with devices that can double as personal printers.
