bizhub 180 Solutions

The bizhub 180, following the tradition of all Konica Minolta products, is a total productivity solution. The bizhub 180 functions as a printer, digital copier, fax, scanner and offers simple finishing capabilities. It also offers software to control

workflow — information going in as well as information going out and 3rd party hardware to enhance this workflow and expand system capabilities.

To help manage workflow, Konica Minolta offers a suite of software products to address the needs of small businesses and small workgroups. This suite of products, known as PageScope, was introduced several years ago and with every new product that is introduced, these software applications are enhanced to meet the needs of the ever changing workplace.

The PageScope Suite is categorized into three groups: Network & Device Management, Service Management and Document Workflow Management. Network & Device Management utilities include PageScope Web Connection, PageScope Net Care, PageScope Network Setup, PageScope NDPS Gateway and PageScope EMS Plug-Ins. Document Workflow Management Utilities include PageScope Workware (formerly PageScope Cabinet Pro) and PageScope Router. Service Management utilities are currently under development.

The Network & Device Management utilities as well as the Document Workflow

Management Utilities addressed in this section are available with the bizhub 180 only.

PAGESCOPE WEB CONNECTION

PageScope Web Connection gives the bizhub 180 added “intelligence”, enabling the device to access its own web page. PageScope Web Connection is built directly into the bizhub 180 so there is no need to install special software or connect the device in any special fashion. This utility allows you to view the bizhub 180 from your desktop using a standard web browser. You can view the current status

of the device, review device settings, set up one-touch dialing for fax numbers or scan addresses, plus a whole lot more.

Among the advantages that PageScope Web Connection offers the customer are easier set up and faster output. Instead of walking up to the device to program the device according to your needs, you are able to make the desired changes from your desktop. When you are ready to print, copy or fax, you can check the status of the device from your desktop. So if more paper is needed or toner has to be replenished, you can address these issues before you begin your job so that it is completed in a quick

and efficient manner, without further interruptions.
