Core Elements
The new bizhub with InfoLine design is distinguished by its three
Core Elements. This collection of innovative technologies, intelligent
manufacturing and user-centred design work together to help
offices work as efficiently and productively as possible.
The proprietary bizhub OP control
system provides offices with an
unprecedented level of flexibility,
allowing the bizhub to adhere,
adapt and grow with any IT
infrastructure. Principle among
bizhub OP’s three main features is
its Open API (Application Program
Interface). This open protocol allows
easy customisation and integration
with third-party peripherals and
applications. The bizhub OP also
features the centralised bizhub
Architecture, which boosts productivity
and security and streamlines your
workflow. Thirdly, there’s the powerful
Emperon Print System which speeds up
document output and gives your office a
clear and easy-to-use interface.
4 bizhub C550
The intelligent technologies of the new bizhub
streamline the rapid flow of information within, into
and out of your office, allowing you to collaborate
more effectively and work smarter. These
technologies include improved network security
functions, upgrades like IPv6, the latest version
Internet protocol, and enhanced fax, e-mail and
scanning features to ensure seamless data
handling and transmission.

Productivity and Production
For the C550, we’ve added several advanced technologies
to speed up and improve your office’s output.
New Production Technologies
■
New Tandem Engine
Our new tandem engine transfers the CMYK
colours in just one step, rather than the four steps
normally required. This greatly improves the C550’s
output speed, while maintaining outstanding
colour. We’ve also enlarged the most frequently
used photoconductive drum, black (K), thus
improving its lifespan.
■
Simitri HD Toner
The small size and consistent shape of Simitri HD toner
particles ensure sharp reproduction of text as well as line
drawings. Its smooth outer surface provides excellent
hold and promises high image quality across a diverse
media mix. Furthermore, the C550 uses low-temperature
fixing to affix the Simitri HD toner. Using less heat saves
energy and effectively reduces paper stress.

■
New Twin-Beam Laser Printhead
The C550's new twin-beam laser printhead helps
achieve high output speed and a compact footprint.
Thanks to a new automatic skew-correction
mechanism, the new printhead also improves
image quality and reduces colour-shift.
■
IH Fixing
The C550 uses new IH (induction heating) fixing
technology in its belt-driven fixing unit. This technology
heats the roller’s surface only, rather than the entire
roller, thus reducing energy consumption. Together
with the low-temperature fixing, Simitri HD toner, this
technology works to significantly reduce warm-up time.

Environmental Conservation
Konica Minolta's commitment to the environment is driven by the cutting-edge
technologies that earn the C550 various energy certifications.
Energy Star
The C550 utilises technologies
including IH fixing and a high-
efficiency supply circuit. These
help the C550 to maintain kilowatt hour
usage far below the new (April 2007)
maximum weekly consumption limit
outlined in the Energy Star program's
rigorous international guidelines for
energy efficient products. And it does
so without sacrificing features or
performance.
Blue Angel Mark (BAM)*
According to Konica
Minolta, the C550 is set to
exceed the standards and
guidelines set forth by Germany's Blue
Angel Mark (BAM2004) for efficiency
and environmental responsibility.
Konica Minolta estimates that the
C550 will be the only MFP in its class
to meet BAM's most stringent
guideline “time to recover from sleep
mode.” The C550 wakes up in a
lightning-quick 30 seconds.
Official Blue Angel Mark approval is pending.
*
RoHS Compliance
The C550 was built in compliance
with the European Union’s RoHs
(Restriction of Hazardous
Substances) guidelines. RoHS
restricts certain harmful
substances, including lead,
mercury, cadmium, hexavalent
chromium, PBB and PBDE from
being used during the production
of electrical and electronic
components.

■
As smart outside as it is on the inside. To create an
MFP that is at home in a high-designed office as it is
in a conventionally designed one, we gave the C550 a
unique black body, interrupted only by a single white
line (the InfoLine) traversing its length and width. The
white line contains LEDs alerting you to current
machine status. A blue LED, easily identified even by
those with colour recognition problems, indicates
printing and data reception status. The red LED
indicates various alerts, including paper tray depletion.
■
The C550 was designed to insure that anyone,
