   Intro


Built on the success and prowess of our previous black bizhub, the new bizhub takes document solution technology even further. These new top-of-the-line models were redesigned and reengineered, with you in mind—to better accommodate the way you work. Primarily used as the central MFPs in large and mid-sized offices, these machines are now easier to use, produce higher quality documents, boast higher reliability and productivity, as well as lower TCO, and are compatible with a variety of network environments. From features that enable you to communicate and collaborate better; to management and security features that ensure accountability; to usable design that allows you to work more comfortably; the new bizhub gives you the technology you need to succeed. Take a look inside to see the numerous new or improved features and functions of this exceptional machine.

 
   New Colour Internet Fax


The bizhub’s standard Colour Internet Fax allows you to cost-efficiently send a colour or black & white fax to any MFP that supports the Profile C standard, even machines outside of your network. Because this method uses the internet, no additional costs are associated with it.

 
   Searchable PDF & Outline PDF


Our Searchable PDF feature uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to turn any scanned document into a searchable one. Perfect for quickly finding text in large documents, or to cut and paste text from a Searchable PDF to create new documents. 

By selecting Outline PDF when scanning a document, target images are divided into photo areas and text areas, and outline conversion is performed on the text areas. This makes the text easier to read, the images crisper and the document nearly as easy to handle as a Compact PDF.

 
   Improved Biometric Finger-Vein Authentication

 

The bizhub’s finger vein authentication uses images of finger vein patterns captured by scanning the finger. This biometric measurement uses an internal characteristic as identification, and is nearly impossible to falsify. The unit is remarkably easy to install as an option and now offers improved authentication accuracy and a more ergonomic and efficient shape that blends in with the design of the MFP.

 
   ID and Print Available


Working in conjunction with finger-vein and IC card authentication*, our easy-to-use ID & Print feature provides you with a secure printing environment. After sending a document from your PC to the bizhub, simply touch the bizhub with your finger or IC card to automatically begin printing—there’s no need to enter a password. If you choose, you can also use the ID & Print feature without the biometric unit or IC cards by entering your password directly on the control panel.

* Supports Malaysian MyKad

 
   Enhanced security with Copy Guard & Password Copy


By copying or printing documents with a special security pattern, C552’s Copy Guard prevents unauthorised copies from being made on the C552. The Password Copy feature allows this protection to be cancelled by entering a password before attempting to re-copy the document.

 
   High image quality, with higher productivity


The new bizhub employs a new MFP Controller—the heart of the MFP—and a new image ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit). Due to these new technologies, overall image quality is markedly improved. The new bizhub makes you more productive with lightning-fast and high performance printing, copying and scanning, as well as very low product downtime.
 

The C552 also boasts of the fastest first copy times on the market at a class-leading 6.0 in colour. Moreover, these machines can simultaneously handle multiple jobs such as fax and scan, scan and print, print and save to Box or perform a multitude of other concurrent combinations.

 
   Upgraded Emperon print system


Konica Minolta’s proprietary Emperon printer controller boasts a host of new features, functions and compatibilities designed to increase print performance, making it our best Emperon ever with Black Over Print, Auto Trapping, PPML Variable Data Printing and Support For PDF 1.7.

 
   Large-capacity paper supply and varied paper compatibility
 

The new bizhub holds up to 3,650 sheets of paper. With the optional Side Paper Deck LU-301, the bizhub’s capacity increases to 6,650 sheets! The bizhub handles a wide range of paper size from A6 to A3 wide, with our new, optional, large-capacity LU-204 also boasting an impressive A3 wide capacity. Finally, the bizhub also accommodates thick paper up to 256g/m2 in all but its multiple bypass tray, where it handles paper as thick as 300g/m2.

 
   Professional and versatile finishing
 

Create professional presentations, attractive manuals, proposals, banners1 and even direct mail pieces without sending materials to a printer. Combined with the C552, the optional Finisher FS-526 gives you efficient, print-on-demand versatility. This high performance finisher features automatic stapling, hole punching, saddle stitching, Z-folding and many other finishing tasks, allowing you to take on both large and small-volume jobs in-house.

 
   Improved colour LCD control panel
 

The user interface of the bizhub’s innovative colour control panel boasts an 800 x 480 pixel, colour, touch-screen, LCD display, and the ability to enlarge text. New to the panel is a convenient stylus pen and holder at the top as well as a colour-coded “power area” in the upper right corner that makes viewing power status simple. The screen’s blue LEDs also make viewing the screen easy, particularly for those with colour vision difficulties.
