Konica Minolta Updated: 2008-12-21 RSS

The bizhub PRO 2500P is the world's fastest, most productive digital printer for duplex cut-sheet production. Its blazing output speed of 250 letter-sized, 160 legal-sized or 132 ledger-sized pages per minute can make your workflow far more productive -- and its unique Gemini Instant Duplex technology prints both sides of the page in a single pass, with offset-class image quality and virtually perfect registration accuracy.

Three optional Paper Input Modules let you load up to 13,800 sheets of paper up to 12.6" x 19.2" -- and a Smart Imager controller features easy IT connectivity, multi-tasking flexibility, and plug-and-play interoperability in Xerox DigiPath and Freeflow production environments. Flexible finishing and booklet-making options, powerful software and environment-friendly design make the bizhub PRO 2500P an ideal choice for very high volume applications such as corporate information sheets and news magazines, human-resource handouts, educational course materials and training documents, catalogs, books-on-demand, business forms and variable data printing.

* Very high output speed (up to 250 letter-sized ppm) and monthly duty cycle up to 8 million prints can handle even the most demanding production workflow.
* Unique Gemini Instant Duplex technology prints both sides of the page in a single instantaneous operation -- no second pass or turning of paper is required, so registration accuracy is never compromised.
* World's highest maximum paper capacity: up to three optional 4,800-sheet Paper Input Modules, each with 4 universal trays -- for a total of 13,800 sheets.
* Intuitive on-board touch-screen operation, Smart Imager control option with comprehensive job management control, plus powerful Print Makeready, Print Console and DP-Convert software.
* Production-class options include 100-sheet stapling, offset stacking, multi-format output tray, 25-sheet and 50-sheet booklet-making, high-capacity stacker, and power lift cart to transfer output to offline binding and shipping stations.

Features

The world's most productive duplex printer. With output speeds up to 250 ppm (letter), 160 ppm (legal) and 132 ppm (ledger), you can handle even the highest output volume -- up to 15,000 letter-sized prints per hour

A professional you can count on. Robust monthly duty cycle of up to 8 million pages maintains workhorse reliability month after month, year after year

Duplex printing in a single pass. With revolutionary Gemini Duplex Printing technology, both sides of the page are printed simultaneously -- so there's no turning of paper or second-pass printing to slow output or compromiseregistration accuracy

Virtually eliminates paper jams. The bizhub PRO 2500P combines air separation and vacuum feed technology to handle a wide range of media with no reduction in output speed -- and a short, direct paper path provides smooth-running operation

Superior imaging, precise registration. 600 x 1200 dpi, 180 lpi resolution and offset-quality imaging give you sharp, crisp documents -- and Advanced Active Registration technology means that once you adjust for paper stock, front-to-back registration accuracy is virtually perfect

Full-bleed printing. You can print full-bleed 11" x 17" documents with image area to within 1 mm on all sides of each sheet -- great for graphics, diagrams, maps and halftones

World's highest paper capacity. Up to 13,800 sheets -- which means a fully loaded bizhub PRO 2500P can keep running through almost 4 hours of unattendedprinting

Universal paper drawers. The bizhub PRO 2500P can be configured with up to three 4,800-sheet Paper Input Modules, each with 4 universal trays that accept paper sizes from 8" x 8" up to 12.6" x 19.2" and weights from 50 - 300 g/m2. Also: tray linking, automatic size detection, and multi-sheet detection

Full-production paper-handling features. The bizhub PRO 2500P gives you the unique ability to print two-sided tabs, performs image registration on the fly (sheet does not stop), lets you print on the "join" with endless OPC, and allows you to refill toner and paper trays without interrupting print runs

Exclusive Paper Logicsystem. To take the guesswork out of paper orientation, just load pre-printed stationery into any paper drawer the way you want it printed -- and for pre-punched media and media with tabs, the bizhub PRO 2500P saves valuable setup time by automatically detecting paper size and orientation

Easy handling of pre-printed sheets. Pre-printed materials can be loaded in any tray and guided along an extra paper path that bypasses the imaging and fusing section -- no need for a separate interposer station

Roll-feed paper input. An optional Lasermax Roll System (replacing one of three possible Paper Input Modules) consists of an unwind, cutter and sheet transport to give you 60,000 letter-sized sheet capacity from a single roll

High-capacity stacker option. You can add up to three 6,000-sheet stacker units to your system -- each with 3,000-sheet lift table, 3,000-sheet eject table, unload-while-printing capability, job separation, mixed media sizes, standard face-down delivery (face-up available via print driver control), and integrated DFD interface for attaching optional finishing units

Intuitive touch-screen operation. "Keep it Green" is the easy way to schedule jobs, assign trays, load-ahead to manage paper supplies more effectively -- with green-yellow-red color indications that alert you to the need for operator assistance

Environment-friendly design. Save energy and protect the environment while you work -- with no toner waste, virtually no ozone emission, low noise level, no fuser oil or developer, and low fusing temperature that reduces power consumption

Smart Imager. A powerful, high-performance image control option that gives you not only full control of all available print functions, but also system control and print engine firmware control. Supports Adobe PostScript 3, Adobe PDF 1.5, PCL5e, with plug-and-play connectivity for Xerox DigiPath/Freeflow interface

On-screen job management. A user-friendly interface provides clear, simple Job Tab menus for layout, paper, special pages, tabs, finishing options and image control. The unique Scheduler Tab enables the operator to plan an entire shift's input and output requirements

Print-while-RIP capability. RIPping begins as soon as the job is fully received; you can assigned jobs as "waiting" or "scheduled," with scheduled jobs having RIP priority

Finishing options that get the job done. Optional finisher with 100-sheet stapling (1 or 2 staples), 4,200-sheet capacity, offset stacking and 500-sheet multi-format output tray; also high-capacity 25-sheet and 50-sheet booklet-makers

Powerful software. Software options include PostScript, PCL, DP-Link (Xerox RDO file conversion), eNDPS (Novell Gateway connection), E-shredding (complete HDD erase), Streaming (RIP-while-Print for large jobs), and Print Makeready, Print Console and DP-Convert software for advanced job handling capabilities
