Seamless workflow integration
DPlink integrates the Konica Minolta bizhub PRO 2500P series in Xerox DigiPath/FreeFlow Makeready environments. The DPlink software is embedded in the Smart RIP controller of the bizhub PRO 2500P series. It offers plug-and-print DigiPath®and FreeFlow®Makeready connectivity for businesses that want to maintain a mixed print environment without changing the workflow application. With the DPlink software, the bizhub PRO 2500P series can process and print jobs from these Xerox applications without requiring any modification.
