Target Markets
A perfect fit for SOHO and SMB.
The versatile magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF color laser all-in-ones are ideal for small and home offices, small- and medium-sized businesses, and workgroups in larger organizations. They are amazingly cost­effective, yet boast several essential business functions in one compact and stylish unit.
If you’ve been faced with any of these problems, you’re sure to find the magicolor 2480MF or 2490MF the solution you’ve been waiting for:
Too many office machines to maintain
A one-product solution for an organization’s essential business functions means less time and money spent maintaining separate machines.
Limited space
Satellite and home offices that have limited space but still require the functionality of several office machines will discover that the space-saving design of the magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF is perfect for any workspace.
Lack of privacy
For executives and departments (such as Finance and Human Resources) that require private document management, the magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF are complete desktop solutions.
Expensive outsourced document production with long lead times
Businesses requiring professional, high-quality documents can save money and time by using the magicolor 2480MF or 2490MF as an integral part of the document production cycle—copy or scan source materials, inspect photographs printed directly from a digital camera, annotate and fax draft documents for review, and print final documents in brilliant, attention-getting color.
Aging technologies
The magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF color laser all-in-ones are the ideal solution for businesses moving up from older technologies—such as single-function devices, monochrome laser AIOs, and color inkjet AIOs.
Use the magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF for any business document:
Daily correspondence Email & web pages Newsletters Posters CD-ROM & mailing labels Business papers Spreadsheets & charts Reports Envelopes Maps Photographs Invoices
· Print · Copy · Scan · Fax* ·
· Camera direct Photo Print ·
* The magicolor 2490MF provides standalone fax functionality; the magicolor 2480MF and magicolor 2490MF both provide PC Fax functionality.
Key Features
It's easy to see why the magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF are the new 'must-have' machines for every office.
Dependable, High-Speed Laser Performance
The magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF feature speedy first-page-out times of 13 seconds or less for black & white and 22 seconds or less for color prints. Multiple copies are delivered at 20 black & white or 5 full-color pages per minute, regardless of the print quality chosen.
Documents and photographs can be scanned in less than 6 seconds per black & white page and 12 seconds per 24-bit color page.
To share this color laser performance office-wide, the magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF provide 'Plug and Play' Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and Fast Ethernet (10/100BaseTX)* interfaces, and they boast a robust duty cycle of up to 35,000 prints per month.

Affordable to Buy and Own
The magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF are competitively priced and cost­effective to own. Purchase supplies for just one office machine rather than several.

Outstanding Prints, Copies, Scans, Photos, and Faxes
Based on an award-winning KONICA MINOLTA color laser print engine design, the magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF make it easy to produce professional laser-quality color prints, copies, scans, fax documents, and photos that are sure to impress.
Print Quality
The magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF deliver outstanding print quality for any type of document. The following print resolutions are available:
2400 x 600 dpi
1200 x 600 dpi
600 x 600 dpi
Printing at 2400 dpi resolution produces crisp text, rich blacks, vibrant colors, realistic photographs, detailed textures, and smooth shading.
Copy Quality
The following copy quality settings are available:
Photo, Text, Mix
Normal, Fine
Copy quality can be enhanced by specifying the type of document (text, photo, mixed) being copied as well as by adjusting lightness and density. Copies can be resized easily by using the 50-200% zoom function. All features are available through one-touch keys on the control panel.
Scan Quality
Using the PaperPort SE software bundled with the magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF, documents and photos can be scanned directly to PDF, JPEG, TIFF, or another file format; annotated, edited, or converted to editable text with the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) feature.
These scan resolutions are available:
600 x 600 dpi
300 x 300 dpi
150 x 150 dpi
For crisp text, rich blacks, vibrant colors, realistic photographs, detailed textures, and smooth shading print at 2400 x 600 dpi.
All copy customization functions are available through one-touch keys on the control panel.

Fax Quality (magicolor 2490MF only)
Three fax resolutions are available:
Super Fine (203 x 392 dpi) Best quality faxes
Fine (203 x 196 dpi) Good quality faxes, good
transmission times
Standard (203 x 98 dpi) Fastest transmission times
PC
Fax Quality
The FaxTalk Communicator software bundled with the magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF provides digital PC Fax send and receive functionality and allows you to annotate faxes before sending or printing. You can also drag and drop scanned documents from PaperPort SE for easy faxing. Two fax resolutions are available:
Fine (200 x 200 dpi) Best quality faxes
Standard (200 x 100 dpi) Fastest transmission times
Simitri Polymerized
Toner
KONICA MINOLTA Simitri Polymerized Toner, composed of uniformly sized toner particles, produces beautiful colors, clear text even in small sizes, and smooth halftones—regardless of the print quality or media type selected. Color remains consistent from print to print because each batch of Simitri Polymerized Toner is tested for optimal color quality. Simitri Polymerized Toner also features improved fusing, so output is more durable and never smears or fades like inkjet prints. Plus, Simitri Polymerized Toner has a life expectancy of over 100 years for output that lasts for generations.
Multi-p
ass Color Laser Technology
The magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF feature KONICA MINOLTA multi­pass color laser technology with improved printing precision. New optical technology on the print head (first introduced on the magicolor 2400 Series printers) allows for a wider angle, which greatly reduces the distance between the print head and the media. Decreasing this distance reduces the overall size of the unit, making it more compact.
Compact Size
From an entirely practical standpoint, one of the beauties of the magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF is their compact desktop size. Imagine printing, copying, scanning, camera direct photo printing, and faxing— without even getting up from the desk. Adding an optional duplexer doesn’t affect the size of the device at all, and an optional 500-sheet lower feeder increases the height by only 4.75".
The small footprint of the magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF make them desktop friendly.

Easy to Set up and Use
Most people find their business day hectic enough without devoting time to the setup and maintenance of a new office machine. That’s why ease of setup and use are designed into the magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF.
Pre-installed supplies: Since all supplies are pre-installed at the
factory, it typically takes less than 5 minutes to unpack and install the magicolor 2480MF or 2490MF, and print a configuration page.

One-touch control panel functions: Intuitive one-touch keys on
the control panel make it easy to customize jobs.
LCD window: The LCD window on the control panel displays
copy settings, printer configuration, scan and fax configuration (magicolor 2490MF), toner supply, and status messages.
USB 1.1 Host Port: The USB 1.1 Host Port is conveniently
located on the front of these all-in-ones for quick photo printing from a PictBridge-enabled digital camera.
Automatic document feeder: The 50-sheet automatic document
feeder provides time-saving, unattended copying and scanning.
Optional duplexer: You can manually duplex documents with the
magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF, but an optional duplexer provides automatic two-sided printing and copying that saves both time and paper.
Camera Direct Photo Printing
The Camera Direct Photo Print function allows digital images to be printed directly from a PictBridge-enabled digital camera—no PC or special software required. Photos can be printed on any supported media up to 8.5" x 11". Borderless 4" x 6" prints are also available.*
PictBridge provides control over a number of photo printing options, including resolution, media type and size, copy count, n-up, batch, and index printing.

An optional automatic duplexer provides laser-quality, two-sided printed reports and other documents. It also lets you make cost-effective, two-sided copies from one-sided originals. It’s never been so easy to print whatever is needed at a moment’s notice.
