What’s New?

he bizhub 180, following the tradition of all Konica Minolta products, is a total

productivity solution. The bizhub 180 functions as a printer, digital copier, fax,

scanner and offers simple finishing capabilities. It also offers software to control

workflow — information going in as well as information going out and 3rd party hardware

to enhance this workflow and expand system capabilities.

To help manage workflow, Konica Minolta offers a suite of software products to address

the needs of small businesses and small workgroups. This suite of products, known as

PageScope, was introduced several years ago and with every new product that is introduced,

these software applications are enhanced to meet the needs of the ever changing workplace.

The PageScope Suite is categorized into three groups: Network & Device Management,

Service Management and Document Workflow Management. Network & Device

Management utilities include PageScope Web Connection, PageScope Net Care,

PageScope Network Setup, PageScope NDPS Gateway and PageScope EMS Plug-Ins.

Document Workflow Management Utilities include PageScope Workware (formerly

PageScope Cabinet Pro) and PageScope Router. Service Management utilities are

currently under development.

The Network & Device Management utilities as well as the Document Workflow

Management Utilities addressed in this section are available with the bizhub 180 only.

PAGESCOPE WEB CONNECTION

PageScope Web Connection gives the bizhub 180 added “intelligence”, enabling the

device to access its own web page. PageScope Web Connection is built directly

into the bizhub 180 so there is no need to install special software or connect the

device in any special fashion. This utility allows you to view the bizhub 180 from

your desktop using a standard web browser. You can view the current status

of the device, review device settings, set up one-touch dialing for fax numbers or

scan addresses, plus a whole lot more.

Among the advantages that PageScope Web Connection offers the customer are easier

set up and faster output. Instead of walking up to the device to program the device

according to your needs, you are able to make the desired changes from your desktop.

When you are ready to print, copy or fax, you can check the status of the device from

your desktop. So if more paper is needed or toner has to be replenished, you can

address these issues before you begin your job so that it is completed in a quick

and efficient manner, without further interruptions.

bizhub 180 Solutions

PAGESCOPE NET CARE

PageScope NetCare allows a network administrator as well as network users to

manage their devices from a single point. Your multifunctional printers and peripherals

are all listed in one on-screen dialog box. Setup and management is easy because

network administrators have remote access to network devices via the Internet.

Response to queries is quicker and workload is reduced, greatly improving productivity

levels. As an added benefit, PageScope Net Care is based on a familiar GUI interface

so you are working with a format that is visually friendly as well as easy to learn and use.

PAGESCOPE NETWORK SETUP

With PageScope Network Setup, configuring your printer/copiers on your network

becomes a simple and highly efficient process. It’s a Windows application that lets

you access and set up the bizhub 180 connected to a network via TCP/IP and IPX

protocols. You’ll save time and effort when you install the bizhub 180 (as well other

Konica Minolta devices) on our network. You will also have desktop management

capabilities that eliminate the need for the system administrator to physically walk

up to each device.

PageScope Network Setup links directly to the Pagescope Web Connection server

installed output device. The result is smooth, efficient, intelligent network control

that boosts productivity.

PAGESCOPE NDPS GATEWAY

PageScope NDPS Gateway is simple software to integrate your Konica Minolta

multifunctional device into an efficient, high-volume Netware network environment

so that you can check both printer status and print job status via NDPS. Information

flows faster and you save time during periods of peak document traffic.

System Administrators gain access to advanced control functions such as bi-directional

communications, automatic detection of print jobs and printer events, message alerts

to notify administrators of network events, controlled access to devices (via Novell

Directory Service) and automatic download of printer drivers when you add new devices.

bizhub 180 Solutions

PAGESCOPE EMS PLUG-IN

EMS (Enterprise Management System) gives large companies a valuable set of tools

for managing devices throughout their networks. PageScope EMS Plug-Ins bring Konica

Minolta devices into the EMS environment. Konica Minolta devices are detected using

a proprietary interface, giving system administrators a simple way to monitor status

and configuration settings.

Among the EMS environments supported by PageScope EMS Plug-Ins are NetView

(Tivoli), Unicenter TNG (Computer Associates), OpenView (HP) by MetaConsole and

MMC (Microsoft) by MetaConsole.

PAGESCOPE WORKWARE

PageScope Workware is an easy-to-use personal, entry-level document management

application for organizing scanned paper documents and electronic files. It’s an ideal

solution for workgroups and small businesses. PageScope Workware enables

customers to save, manage and find electronic files and images quickly and easily.

2004

The table below shows the Gartner Dataquest forecast for digital copiers in the

11-20 ppm range. As you can see, the decline in this segment is expected to

occur in 2004 and 2005. According to Gartner Dataquest, in order for multifunctional

products to displace single function printers, MFPs must continue to offer robust

features and functions (as Konica Minolta has done with the introduction of the

bizhub 180 Series).

Although Segment 1 may face some challenges because the higher segment

models offer more functionality, products such as the bizhub 180 will remain

a strong contender. Why? Because Konica Minolta offers optional duplexing

at the 18 ppm range along with a duplexing document feeder as well as network

printing, network scanning and faxing. Features that are more often found starting

at the 20+ ppm range.

The anticipated growth in the printer-based market holds many opportunities for

the bizhub 180. As copier-based MFPs, they offer many advantages over printer-

based products — 11"x17" maximum paper size, lower cost-per-print, greater paper

capacity, etc.

MFP Buying Criteria

Gartner Dataquest recently published “Make the Best Choice of Document MFP

Vendor” (February 2004), a document that outlines the need for buyers to redefine

their buying criteria when they are choosing a vendor to meet their office products

needs. A key buying criteria is to ask the vendor , “do you promote user productivity”.

According to this publication, “MFPs should do more than save money by replacing

printers, copiers and fax machines. They should help people do their jobs more easily,

faster or at a higher standard than they can today. This means designing the MFP

so it can be integrated into the customers work processes, and providing services

that make it easy to do so.

The bizhub 180 has been designed to perform as an outstanding printer, exceptional

Segment 1 digital copier and a superb scanner and fax device.
