Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe announced the launch of two full colour A4 machines, the bizhub C3120i and bizhub C3100i, targeted at home office use.
Both devices require a small footprint due to their small dimensions of 41 x 43cm and light weight, making them ideal especially when space is at a premium. Furthermore, the machines are noise-free in ready mode, making them unobtrusive wherever they are located, Konica Minolta explained.
Both machines deliver all the mobile connectivity, with both Android (Mopria) and iOS (AirPrint) as well as NFC tap-to-print/scan. What is more, the dedicated Mobile Print app can be used to print, copy, scan and fax from a smartphone or tablet.
Additionally, with the bizhub C3120i documents and photos can be sent to print directly from a computer via Wi-Fi (as standard), or via the dedicated USB port on each machine, which provides a preview of the file prior to printing.
With the help of the embedded deskew feature, users can adjust the images they have taken with their smartphone of documents such as books or magazines and print the image.
To ensure the security of confidential or sensitive information, print jobs can be password protected and temporarily saved (each machine has a 512MB memory) and will only print once the correct password is entered on the touch panel.
The devices come with a tray that can store up to 250 sheets. It can handle 60 gsm all the way up to 176 gsm cardstock. Thanks to double-sided printing and three levels of toner density (light, lighter, lightest) paper and toner consumption can be reduced.
In addition, both devices will be awarded in Germany with Blue Angel Mark according to DE-UZ 219, which identifies environmentally friendly products. The TEC Value is only 0.38 kWh/week, which means that the devices consume very little energy.

These compact, highly connected, and affordable machines are perfect for people who are working and or studying at home office environment and need a small, reliable, and highly functional machine.”
