Features

High-speed output in color and B&W. The bizhub C31P/C31PX keeps ahead of high-volume traffic with up to 37 ppm output in both color and B&W -- so color documents don't slow down your workflow.

Economical performance. The bizhub C31P/C31PX gives you laser printer quality at lower total cost of ownership, with large starter toner supply that reduces your cost per print.

Sleek styling, small footprint. Charcoal and white cabinet color in compact space-saving design make the bizhub C31P/C31PX look good and fit in anywhere in your office.

Built-in Emperon® Print System. With PostScript 3 and PCL6 emulations, plus native XPS functionality for next-generation Windows Vista systems, the bizhub C31P/C31PX provides greater print productivity right from the start.

Simitri® HD Color Polymerized Toner. Smaller, more consistent particles improve fine-line detail and sharpen text -- and environment-friendly low-temperature oil-less fusing delivers documents that resist fading, won't peel or crack when folded, and let you overprint or write on prints.

Brilliant colors, superior photos. 9600 x 600 dpi PhotoART Contone printing with edge enhancement function creates documents with amazing photographic detail, smooth gradients and accurate colors.

Consistent color quality. With eAIDC (enhanced Automatic Image Density Control) calibration, the bizhub C31P/C31PX delivers consistent color accuracy page after page -- even on long print runs.

Flexible color quality controls. You can fine-tune color image quality using ICC Profiles, Automatic ICC/based color matching, Dynamic Contone Screening, PANTONE color tables and press emulations.

Job Retention capability. With optional HDD, the bizhub C31P/C31PX lets you manage print jobs more effectively -- with Job Storing, Proof then Print, Print and Hold, and Secure Print.

Direct USB printing from portable drives. With optional compact flash card, you can print PDF, JPEG and TIFF files directly from USB Flash drives.

Optional HDD for XPS direct printing. Add the optional HDD to the bizhub C31P/C31PX, and you can print XPS files as well as PDF, JPEG and TIFF files.

High capacity, flexible handling. The C31P/C31PX provides a 600-sheet standard paper cassette -- and you can add two optional 500-sheet paper cassettes for 1600-sheet maximum paper capacity.

Fast first-copy delivery. First print page output in as little as 9 seconds and warm-up time of just 52 seconds gives you the documents you need with less wait time.

Optional duplexing. A duplex option (standard on C31PX) enables you to print color or B&W documents on two-sided sheets to save paper -- and an enhanced paper crossing system keeps you productive while creating two-sided documents.

WSD support. The bizhub C31P/C31PX supports new WSD (Web Services on Devices) networking, a new secure protocol designed to speed and improve the discovery of networked devices throughout your work environment.
