Whether you’re in the market for your company’s first in-house Konica Minolta copier, or you’re ready to upgrade the on-site copier you leased or purchased a few years back, there are several features and factors you’ll want to consider before making your decision.
Streamlining Your Workflow
If a copier doesn’t streamline your company’s workflow, you’re looking at the wrong copier. The last thing you need is to invest in a printer that will make projects more time-consuming, more expensive, or more stress-inducing. You want a copier that saves you and your staff unnecessary footsteps and process steps. The Konica Minolta seamlessly streamlines your business operations by being capable of scanning and sending your projects in several ways:
- Multi-method sending
- Scanning to an E-mail

Ensuring Security of Your Data
When you outsource your printing needs – whether to a local print shop or across the country, you have no way of knowing if what you want to be printed is going to remain confidential and secure. The Konica Minolta provides a variety of advanced authentication methods to prevent information leakage and unauthorized access to your documents. Some of these methods include:
- Biometric Finger-Vein Authentication
- Non-Contact IC Smart Card Authentication

You want your in-house printer to save you money while enabling you to produce documents and projects faster and easier than outsourcing them. Many models of the Konica Minolta allow you to experience high-speed, high-volume output in a variety of ways, including:
- Large-capacity Paper Supply and Varied Paper Compatibility
- Professional and Versatile Finishing
