Designed to Reduce Your TCO

The question is, where do you find an efficient, productive and environmentally considerate MFP that reduces TCO? The answer is as plain as black and white – the new bizhub 423/363/283/223, Konica Minolta’s MFP with built-in colour scanning. In the era of colourful business documents, you need an MFP that straddles the divide between colour and monochrome. You need bizhub.

Konica Minolta’s solutions of i include our extensive lineup of MFPs, printers and software applications designed for you, the individual.

Environmental Consideration

Konica Minolta understands that saving resources benefits both the planet and your bottom line. Expanding on that idea, we also strive to make your office environment as agreeable as possible.

Toner Recycling Mechanism

Toner used in the bizhub 423 series is reused 100%. Untransferred toner that remains on the photoconductor is removed by the cleaning blade, carried through the recycle duct, and re-sent to the developing unit. This process eliminates the generation of toner waste.

Environmentally Considerate Toner

Since 2000, when Konica Minolta introduced the world’s first polymerised toner for digital monochrome MFPs, Simitri toner has been made using biomass, a plant-based resource. This ensures less environmental impact without sacrificing image quality.

Quiet Operation

The bizhub 423 series is the quietest MFP in its class during standby. Noise reductions have also been made in the ADF, making it the smart choice for a high-performance MFP that isn’t an intrusive presence.

Superior TEC Values

The bizhub 423 series offers excellent energy performance. It surpasses the TEC values* needed to gain Energy Star certification by a wide margin – up to 62% for the bizhub 423 model.

* TEC (Typical Electricity Consumption) is the test method used by Energy Star.

Question 1

How do I incorporate colour documents in my monochrome workflow?

The bizhub answer

Colour Scanning

Monochrome output plus colour scanning means you can digitise, save, share and reuse colour documents.

How do I streamline my office’s document management needs?

Question 3 The bizhub answer

How do I minimise environmental impact and total product lifecycle cost?

Unified Firmware

Biometric and non-contact IC card authorisation ensure stress-free authorisation, while a

number of copy, print and fax output control functions help limit paper and energy use.

Furthermore, the 423 series uses the same firmware as colour models, enabling universal

management for all MFPs on your network.

Total Design Philosophy

The 423 series offers a three-tiered solution to respect the environment and your bottom line –

reduced use of materials during construction, low energy consumption and compliance with a

host of environmental regulations.

Unified firmware

Innovative Technology

Don’t let the monochrome output fool you – the bizhub 423 series offers many of the same features as colour MFPs, while keeping running costs manageable.

Colour Scanning

Despite being a monochrome MFP, the bizhub 423 series offers colour scanning, letting you share and save documents in their original state.

Simitri HD Toner with Biomass

Konica Minolta’s exclusive polymerised toner with

plant-based ingredients (biomass) offers high image quality

and less environmental impact.

High-quality Monochrome Output

Colour originals are output in high-quality

monochrome without shifts in gradation. This

is especially apparent during printing, as

screens optimised for the characteristics of

the engine’s properties improve gradations

and reduce graininess.
