Features

A bold new look for today's office. Dramatic design and 360° good looks will earn the bizhub C550 a prominent place anywhere your workflow demands, so everyone can harness its power more easily.

An ideal replacement for legacy printer/copiers. High-speed output of 45 ppm output in color and 55 ppm in B&W keeps work flowing faster -- giving you high-impact color when you need it, cost-effective B&W when you don't.

Powerful built-in Emperon® Print System. Seamless multifunctional performance with PCL6/PS3 emulation and true XPS printing capability is already built in, for full print/copy/scan functionality and fully integrated operation.

The bEST approach to integration. With built-in bizhub Extended Solution Technology (bEST), the bizhub 650 is also ready for seamless interface with third-party software for print management, cost control and networking functions.

On-board color touch-screen. Hard function keys, a larger color LCD touch-screen and simple, intuitive menus make the bizhub C550 amazingly easy to operate -- and you can view a thumbnail of the document you're about to print.

InfoLine tracks device status at a glance. The bizhub C550 is a printer/copier that communicates -- with a unique InfoLine that tracks the flow of information in and out and lets you monitor device status even from across the room.

Simitri® HD Color Polymerized Toner. Next-generation Konica Minolta technology provides superb color, razor-sharp text, fine-line drawings, graphics and halftones -- and for everyday printing, a large-capacity B&W toner cartridge lowers total cost of ownership.

Environment-friendly oil-less fusing system. High-quality, low-gloss output gives you documents that resist fading, withstand UV exposure, won't peel or crack when folded -- and lets you overprint or write on prints or copies.

Fast scanning to multiple destinations. Simultaneously Scan-to-Email, Scan-to-FTP, Scan-to-WebDAV, Scan-to-SMB (Scan-to-Desktop), TWAIN scan and Scan-to-HDD (Scan-to-User Box) to help you move information faster.

Simultaneous distribution with bizhub Send. With bizhub Send function, you can accomplish more work with fewer keystrokes -- scanning, Emailing and faxing while simultaneously storing a User Box copy or saving the file to SMB or FTP.

USB scanning and printing. A simple USB Interface option lets you scan files to a USB thumb-drive and also print files from a USB thumb-drive.

More paper, large sizes, heavy stock. With optional 3,000-sheet Large Capacity Unit, the bizhub C550 gives you up to 6,650-sheet paper capacity for long unattended print/copy runs. You can output 11" x 17" originals on 12" x 18" paper to preserve color bars, crop marks and margins. You can also auto-duplex up to 140 lb. index stock -- and a multi-bypass tray lets you easily load and print envelopes or specialty coated paper.

Biometric Authentication option. The bizhub C550 offers an innovative Biometric Authentication option that can recognize the unique physical characteristics of each user -- more reliably than matching fingerprints!

Powerful finishing options. The FS-608 Booklet Finisher and FS-517 Staple Finisher (floor-console design) options give you the custom finishing tools you need for any application.

Enhanced security functions. Today's networked workflow demands increased security protection -- and the bizhub C550 also provides HDD Job Erase, HDD Sanitizing, HDD Lock function, Copy Protect, Secure Printing, Encrypted Password Printing, IP Address Filtering, User Authentication, Scan Encryption, optional HDD Encryption, an innovative Biometric Authentication option and more.

Super G3 Fax option. Expand your bizhub C550 to all-in-one performance with Super G3 transmission/reception and high-volume facsimile features -- like 2,000-location address book, broadcasting, program dialing, PC faxing, in-bound fax routing and TSI routing, plus an optional 2nd phone line for increased fax input/output capacity.

Optional IC-409 Fiery® Image Controller. Adds advanced color graphic and color control functions to your bizhub, plus powerful networking and document management tools.

The power of PageScope® software. A full suite of software solutions, including PageScope Web Connection to give your C550 its own "website" for status monitoring, PageScope Data Administrator™ to manage device user lists, enable account tracking and help you set up one-touch Email addresses and manage password and security functions, and optional PageScope Workware™ to manage scanned documents, view files as thumbnail images and link files for quick access.

PageScope print management capabilities. PageScope Direct Print lets you send PDF, TIFF, text and PS/PCL/XPS files directly to print without using print drivers or application software.

Advanced i-Option® Kits for convenient Internet access and more. For even greater connectivity, the new Konica Minolta i-Option upgrade lets you browse the web from your bizhub control panel, adds new Image Panel document viewing and control capabilities, increases your document security with Enhanced PDF Encryption and expands the versatility and convenience of your bizhub workflow.
