1. Introduction

Konica Minolta introduces the new bizhub 350 / 250, with respective copying and printing speeds of 35 and 25 pages per minute (A4). As empowered MFPs, both of these compact new models bring together digital copying, network printing, scanning, and faxing (option) functions into an all-in-one package that eliminates redundancy in small to mid-size offices. Furthermore, by consolidating digital input and output functions, the bizhub 350 / 250 offer features and functions that are unheard of in even the most advanced dedicated devices.

Industry trends toward the streamlining of business equipment has created a strong need for MFPs like the bizhub 350 / 250. But beyond being able to consolidate document and data handling needs, these machines do so with an eye on the bottom line, offering excellent cost performance and allowing the kind of high-lev el information management that today’ s of fices require. P aperless communication, regardless of transmission medium, offers businesses an immediate solution to cut down on unnecessary waste, while improving the throughput of information.

As with all Konica Minolta business machines, the bizhub 350 / 250 have been developed under the concept of universal design, providing unlimited access to any level of user in a secure environment. Both of these MFPs are excellent examples of the industry-leading technology that is an integral part of the bizhub brand, which recently was recognized as the 2005 Product Line of the Year by BLI Laboratories.

Functions marked “In Development” will not be initially available on the bizhub 350 / 250. They are currently being considered and are expected to become available at a later date. Please ask your sales representative for more details.

2. Market Trends and Positioning

Mark et T rends

With the extensive expansion of broadband capabilities in most world markets, high-speed networking infrastructure has become the standard goal for business. Offices seeking business machines are therefore as concerned with output speed as with value-added networking capabilities.

The entire market is on the verge of a major push to ward off ice color capabilities, as early as 2006. Preempting this phase, Konica Minolta segment 2 (21 - 30 ppm) and 3 (31-40 ppm) monocolour MFPs offer a solid introduction to the bizhub brand value.

Now that digital has completely dominated the market, customer concerns have matured toward a demand for higher efficiency. Value-added scan-to and throughput functions, as well as employee-empowering document output and finishing capabilities are essential.

Currently, worldwide sales of se gment 3 MFPs are predicted to continue their steady gro wth in most markets, adding urgency to new product placements while the market is still strong. Sales of se gment 2 MFPs, on the other hand, are predicted to peak around 2005 and begin to lose ground to Segment 3 and office colour solutions.

5) Scan to FTP

This function enables scanned documents to be uploaded as TIFF or PDF data to an FTP server either on an office LAN or over the Internet. Storage on the FTP server is in a specified directory. PCs on the same network can be used to access the server and download the stored documents. This is a highly effective way to share large volumes of data that would otherwise be difficult to send via e-mail.

6) Scan to E-mail

Scan data can be sent to a PC as a TIFF or PDF format e-mail attachment. By pre-registering e-

mail addresses, a hardcopy document can be sent via e-mail using a simple one-touch operation. This function allows the transmission of documents to destinations within the office, outside the company and to Internet-ready mobile PCs, as well as multiple addresses simultaneously. Since data is sent directly to personal e-mail addresses, timely and reliable delivery of information can be ensured. Document data received as an e-mail attachment can be stored and managed conveniently on individual PCs.

7) Scan to SMB

This function forwards scanned data directly to a specified folder on any PC connected to the office LAN. Furthermore, by pre-registering a destination in the one-touch memory, hardcop y can be converted to TIFF or PDF and forw arded directly to any PC at the push of a button. Since the SMB protocol is used, there is no need to access a server, thus minimising security risks for data.

8) Scan to Internet Fax

Hardcopy is converted to TIFF or PDF data and attached to an e-mail in MIME format. Then, taking advantage of a connection to the office LAN, data is sent via TCP/IP directly to any Internet Fax on the intranet or Internet. Because they make use of TCP/IP, Internet Faxes do not incur long-distance transmission costs and reception is verifiable.

Simitri Toner

Konica Minolta's unique polymerised toner produces consistent, high-quality images with improved reproduction of text and fine lines. This is due to the small diameter of each particle and the improved uniformity, which offers high coverage accuracy and minimises the space between particles. Since Simitri Toner affixes using a lower temperature, there is minimal paper curl due to heat. This toner is also earth friendly, minimising environmental burden during manufacture and requiring less energy for fixing.

Security

1) 1)

Secure Print

With Secure Print, users can add a password to print data they f orw ard to the bizhub 350 / 250. Data is tempor arily stored in the Document Box and printing only begins after the user inputs the password at the control panel, ensuring that sensitive documents are not seen by others.

2) 2)

User Authentication

A built-in user registration and authentication function allows administrator-level management of user privileges, even without a dedicated server. Settings let administrators restrict or allow use of copy, print, scan, Box and fax functions to users. Compatibility with an external authentication server further enables access management.

3) 3)

SSL Encryption

The SSL encryption protocol protects the confidentiality of data being transferred between the bizhub 350 / 250 and the LDAP server, as well as data exchanges using PageScope Data Administrator and PageScope Web Connection.

4) 4)

HDD Password Lock

With this feature, data on the HDD, whether residual or archived files, is extremely difficult to analyse. The HDD Password Lock feature allows application of a password-protected lock to prevent unauthorised access to the HDD, even in the event that the drive is removed from the main unit.

5) 5)

IP Filtering

The bizhub 350 / 250 can be set to reject access from terminals with unregistered IP addresses. This prevents unauthorized access from equipment outside the network.

In Development

User enters password to begin printing

6) 6)

Encrypting Data on the Hard Drive

When the encryption board is mounted between the hard disk and the communications path, the data is automatically encrypted or decrypted as it is written to or read from the hard disk. When the encryption function is enabled, all of the data in the hard disk is encrypted using the Advanced Encryption Standard (fixed). Since all segments of the hard driv e are encrypted, the data can no longer be read if the encryption settings are altered. For this reason, the user (system administrator) must reformat the hard disk w hen altering the encryption settings. Note: Optional Security Kit (SC-503) required.

7) 7)

Acquisition of ISO 15408 (EAL3) Scheduled

The bizhub 350 / 250 is expected to obtain certification for the ISO 15408 (EAL3) international standard for evaluating product and system security functions.

En vironment

1) 1)

Acquisition of Certifications for Environmental Standards

Konica Minolta copiers and MFPs are designed with the environment in mind. Because of this mindset, we have acquired a number of certificates for meeting global environmental standards.

Energy Saving Certifications Energy Star (Japan / US Energy Standards)

The bizhub 350 / 250 are compliant with the international Energy Star Programme (multifunctional peripherals). Operating from the energy-saving vie wpoint that “energy should be efficiently used and only when it is needed,” this programme was established to reduce the power consumption during standby for OA equipment, which tends to be operated for many hours with the power turned on.

Eco Mark (Japan)

These products have received the Eco Mark from the Japan En vironment Association in recognition of their contributions to environmental conservation with respect to the manufacturing stage, packaging and shipping, recovery system, low-ozone production, silence design, and use of recycled materials.

Energy Saving Functions Low-power Mode

This function automatically lowers the level of standby power consumption once the preset standby period has lapsed. The default setting in the bizhub 350 / 250 is 15 minutes, and can be set anywhere from 1 to 240 minutes in 1-minute increments. The Low-power mode can by cancelled by pressing a key on the control panel, opening the document cover, or placing an original on the ADF, which will return the copier to ordinary standby mode. The time required to return to ordinary standby mode is 15 seconds.

Energy Saving Functions Sleep Mode

To save electricity, the heater is automatically turned off and the copier is switched to power-sav e mode when the copier has not been operated for the preset time (default setting: 15 minutes). The setting range is 1 to 240 minutes (previous models: 15 to 24 minutes).

2) 2)

Toner Recycling Mechanism

Toner used in the bizhub 350 / 250 is completely recycled. Untransferred toner that remains on the photoconductor is removed by the cleaning blade, carried through the recycle duct, and resent to the developing unit. This process eliminates the generation of waste toner.

3) 3)

No Use of Harmful Materials

Photoconductor Drum

OPC (Organic Photo Conductor) is used instead of toxic substances such as cadmium or selenium.

Plastic Resin Parts

To eliminate or minimise the generation of dioxins and hydrogen chloride, which are harmful to both people and the environment, Konica Minolta rigorously restricts the use of any parts or materials containing substances that may emit dioxins and hydrogen chloride.
