Konica Minolta Business Solutions Asia introduces bizhub C368 series

Print and enterprise content management provider Konica Minolta Business Solutions Asia (BSA) has launched the bizhub C368 series to meet the growing needs of mobility, connectivity and sustainability in businesses. This series was recently honoured at BLI's Winter 2016 Picks for its reliability, mobility features, efficient print and scan speeds, and ease of printing multiple file types.

Jonathan Yeo, General Manager for Konica Minolta BSA said, "The bizhub C368 series has the flexibility to stand up to the demands of busy office environments. It features excellent overall reliability and efficiency, making it the ideal companion for organisations both large and small. We are honoured to receive these awards."

Designed with user-friendliness and security in mind, the new series is equipped with a comfortable 9" operation panel with intuitive on-screen soft menu keys that can be customised. The series features a new embedded mobile touch area that enables pairing of smart devices with near field communication (NFC) or Bluetooth LE (low energy) technology, allowing mobile office workers to authenticate print and scan jobs directly from their mobile device.

Enhancing print security 

With password-protection to additional optional security mechanisms, the bizhub C368 series is equipped with features to safeguard the information assets of businesses. The printer can perform user authentication directly on the MFP main unit. Office administrators can set up detailed access control for each function, including copy, print, scan and fax.

Optional security add-ons can also be installed. Print functions can be authenticated biometrically, with various types of identification cards, or via NFC with Android devices.

Improved efficiency and quality

The bizhub C368 series is able to print up to 36 pages per minute at a print resolution of 1,200 DPI. It features a maximum paper capacity of 6,650 sheets and a scanning speed of 80 originals per minute (opm). Paper formats supported include A6 to SRA3*, and banners up to 1.2 m in length.

Furthermore, a server-less pull printing feature means the bizhub C368 series eliminates the need for a local or print server, reducing network bandwidth usage significantly.

*SRA3 sheets are 45cm x 32cm. Printable areas are typically slightly smaller.
