Impressive speed and easy handling

The bizhub C31P delivers perfect prints in an instant
and handles heavy workloads with ease. With its high
speed of 35 colour or b/w prints per minute and its
stylishly modern InfoLine design, the bizhub C31P per­fectly complements Konica Minolta’s latest-generation

and the straightforward handling enhance overall

A bright look into the future

Equipped with Konica Minolta’s latest Emperon™
controller technology, the bizhub C31P features a
867 MHz page-processor plus standard 256 MB RAM
(upgradeable to max. 1,024 MB). The Emperon™
controller is Windows®, Mac® and Linux® compatible,
provides PCL 6, PCL 5e/c and PostScript 3 for easy
integration into any network environment; and also
supports XPS2, Microsoft Vista™‘s new XML paper
specification. Other highlights are Gigabit Ethernet
and high-speed USB 2.0.

Efficient monitoring and cost control

The PageScope Data Administrator, Konica Minolta’s
optional user account management feature,
provides access control for individual users and user
groups, enabling for example to restrict colour
printing. PageScope Web Connection facilitates
web-based device management, informing users
of the status and settings of the bizhub C31P right
on their PC monitor. Administrators will appreciate
PageScope NetCare which enhances administrator
support with fast access to and easy monitoring
of devices via the network.

Creativity and high visual impact

A range of options enhances the bizhub C31P’s
versatility and streamlines the production of colour­ful reports, PowerPoint presentations and other
high-impact materials. Comprehensive finishing
capabilities, including stapling of up to 30 sheets,
as well as duplex printing and an extended paper
supply of up to 1,600 sheets turn it into a fast and
highly efficient network printer for busy offices and
large workgroups. The bizhub C31P also provides
generous media capabilities, including the process­ing of paper sizes A6 over A4 to banners of up to
216 x 1,200mm, and plain paper as well as special
media like transparencies, labels and thick paper.

Long-lasting prints of superior

quality

Thanks to the advanced capabilities of
Konica Minolta’s high-definition Simitri® HD
polymerised toner, the bizhub C31P produces
prints of excellent quality by providing clarity
and definition to every detail. Other merits of
Simitri® HD are its increased resistance to
withstand UV light, and the minimised risk of
peeling on folded document edges. Thanks
to such high durability, prints are impressively
long-lasting and withstand even extensive
handling.
