21 new systems bring enhanced security and improved ease of use to the modern workplace.
Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe h revealed the successors of its bizhub i-Series MFPs (multifunctional printers) and SFPs (single function printers). The extensive new range of 21 devices (seven colour A3, five colour A4, six B/W A3 and three B/W A4), includes features and functionality that places the increased need for security and ease of use in the modern workplace at the forefront.
With the new “Authentication Attack Detection” function, it is now possible to block unauthorised attempts deriving from brute force attacks, to crack passwords and other access data, to infiltrate devices from outside.
Every new bizhub i-Series model has an improved and even more intuitive user interface. Applications can now be grouped into folders by theme or by frequency of use, using Drag & Drop, similar to smartphones. In addition, useful functions which are used very often and had previously to be installed via the MarketPlace, are now preinstalled as standard thus increasing user convenience.
The new models also simplify the login process for customers using Microsoft Azure (Microsoft Entra ID) or Google Workspace and offer the opportunity to connect to their files or folders with the use of single sign-on (SSO).
The option to add four trays, or a maximum of three optional trays for the A4 devices, increases paper capacity, ensuring that more different media can be processed in one print job as well as reducing the frequency with which media needs to be replenished. At the same time, the “Automatic Media Detection” function, which is available optionally for the A3 devices (except bizhub C451i, bizhub C551i, bizhub C651i and bizhub C751i for which it is standard), has been improved.
Olaf Lorenz, General Manager, International Marketing Division at Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe said: “We are continuing to rethink the way multifunctional devices work for businesses, so the new bizhub i-Series takes productivity further. It’s even more intuitive and simple to use, easily adapting to the specific needs of any workplace. Enhanced security features mean users will always be safe in the knowledge that their information is protected.”
