? Question 3

How do I minimise environmental impact and total product lifecycle cost?

Biometric and non-contact IC card authorisation ensure stress-free authorisation, while a number of copy, print and fax output control functions help limit paper and energy use. Furthermore, the 423 series uses the same firmware as colour models, enabling universal management for all MFPs on your network.

Total Design Philosophy

The 423 series offers a three-tiered solution to respect the environment and your bottom line – reduced use of materials during construction, low energy consumption and compliance with a host of environmental regulations.

Innovative Technology 02

Don’t let the monochrome output fool you – the bizhub 423 series offers many of the same features as colour MFPs, while keeping running costs manageable.

Colour Scanning

Despite being a monochrome MFP, the bizhub 423 series offers colour scanning, letting you share and save documents in their original state.

High-quality Monochrome Output

Colour originals are output in high-quality monochrome without shifts in gradation. This is especially apparent during printing, as screens optimised for the characteristics of the engine’s properties improve gradations and reduce graininess.

■Image Processing Engine

A new ASIC image processing engine ensures high-quality monochrome prints.

■OpenAPI

Konica Minolta’s proprietary API system that enables customised workflows.

■Integration with Colour MFPs

New firmware enables full feature integration with colour devices.
