Designed for the way you work.
Technology Design
■ Improved Colour LCD Control Panel
The user interface of the bizhub’s innovative colour
control panel boasts an 800 x 480 pixel, colour,
touch-screen, LCD display, and the ability to enlarge text.
New to the panel is a convenient stylus pen and holder at
the top as well as a colour-coded “power area” in the
upper right corner that makes viewing power status
simple. The screen’s blue LEDs also make viewing the
screen easy, particularly for those
with colour vision difficulties. The
entire panel can also be tilted up
and down in 3 stages as well as
left and right, making it accessible
to just about anyone.
■ New Guidance Workflow and Animation Guidance
The new bizhub boasts new help features. The Guidance
Function now provides an improved workflow. Simply press
the “Guidance” key and you will be immediately taken to the
help information relevant to the feature you’re engaged with.
Our new bizhub also offers interactive Animation Guidance of
certain features and troubleshooting tasks. This provides more
visual direction of operating tasks and troubleshooting help for
procedures like paper jams and toner replacement.
■ Clean, 360-Degree Design
The new bizhub was designed with a 360 degree, wrap-around
colour scheme. This means that the back of the machine is as
clean as the front,
allowing you to place it
anywhere—even in the
centre of a room. When
utilising Fiery, the bizhub
provides a covered
storage area on the back
for cables, thus
maintaining its
clutter-free look.
■ Expanded Colour Previews & Thumbnails
See exactly what your image will look like before
printing it. The new bizhub lets you
view previews of stamps, dates,
pages and more as merged images,
to show you exactly how your
documents will appear printed.
Viewing files saved in the Box is
also easier and more
efficient—view them all on the
control panel as thumbnails for
simple file recognition.
■ Universal Design
The bizhub was designed to insure that anyone, regardless of age,
gender, body size, or disability could comfortably use it. Specifically,
the new bizhub provides a clear, easy to read control panel,
trouble-free front access to paper and toner and easy-grip trays.
■ My Tab Printer Driver Screen
Customise your own tab on the
printer driver screen. Add, remove or
change the location of features to
suit your needs.
■ New Auto-Refining Developing System
With the new bizhub’s Auto-Refining Developing System, carrier
in the black developing unit is premixed in the toner cartridge and
supplied as toner is consumed. Deteriorated carrier is expelled
with the toner, reducing overall deterioration in the developing
unit. This process helps to maintain stable black & white image
quality over the long term. This feature is particularly relevant in
offices that have high-volume black & white output.
■ IH Fixing
Induction Heating (IH) Fixing technology only heats the roller’s
surface, rather than the entire roller. This reduces power
consumption during the fixing process and results in shorter
warm-up times. In
addition, this feature
automatically cuts off
residual fixing heat
when no print jobs are
taking place, further
contributing to energy
savings.
■ Simitri HD Toner
The small size and consistent shape of Simitri HD toner
particles ensure sharp reproduction of text as well as line
drawings. Its smooth outer surface provides excellent hold and
promises high image quality across a diverse media mix.
Furthermore, the new bizhub uses low-temperature fixing to
affix the Simitri HD toner. Using less heat saves energy and
effectively reduces paper stress.
■ Three Image Stabilisation Modes
We’ve optimised image stabilisation control by providing three
separate modes tailored to your office’s printing needs. Standard
Mode is perfect when overall print volume is low and colour
usage is moderate. B/W Priority Mode is the best for those
offices that mostly utilize black & white printing. Finally, Colour
Priority Mode is the alternative that offers the most image
stabilisation efficiency for high volume, colour output needs.
■ Quiet Operation
The new bizhub offers quieter operation. We have paid particular
attention to the more bothersome machine noises, and have reduced
the operating noise level, as well as that of stand-by mode, ADF
scanning and our finisher.
Administrative Assistant,
International Management Consulting Company
For me, so much of my success relies on how easily and
efficiently I can get my work done. With that said, very few
machines have made my job as trouble-free as the bizhub.
The colour, LCD control panel is large, easy-to-read and
intuitive. I especially appreciate its large colour Thumbnails
and Previews. The My Panel Manager software, part of
PageScope Enterprise Suite, is also very useful. In tandem
with personal authentication, it allows my coworkers and I
to interface with the product in the language of our
choice, essential in an international company like mine,
and it lets us customise the address book. Troubleshooting
and operation are also remarkably easy. If I’m ever unsure
about a task, the bizhub’s interactive Animation Guidance
offers the assistance I need. Lastly, the bizhub is
aesthetically pleasing too, with a 360-degree,wrap-around
design and extremely quiet operation.
