Konica Business Machines has launched the 7085 Document Production System, with a maximum A4 copy speed of 85 pages per minute.
The three major components of Bizhub OP are the Bizhub architecture, the Emperon print system and Bizhub Open API.
The Bizhub architecture removes the need for separate functional boards through the use of common system software to drive all functions - print, copy, scan and fax.
The new architecture also eliminates hardware-based functions.
The Emperon print system provides C351 users with integration of their document output management with a consistent user interface and functions across future Konica Minolta products, said the company.
In addition, the open API (available at the end of 2005) is claimed to enable control of the print and scan functions from external applications.
Featuring 256 levels of grayscale per pixel, 600 dots per inch (dpi) x 1,800dpi print resolution and 600dpi x 600dpi copy resolution, the C351 is said to produce clear text, sharp edges and consistent colour.
The company's Simitri colour polymerised toner, which is said to maintain the uniformity of the toner particles for more even distribution, is also claimed to provide better halftone definition and better solid fills.
Standard paper capacity is 900 sheets, including a 150-sheet intelligent by-pass tray and paper capacity is expandable up to 3,400 sheets.
Optional 33.6Kbps Super G3 fax capabilities are also available.
The optional fax functions include mono transmission, JBIG data compression, up to 600 x 600 fax transmit resolution, separate scanning, duplex transmit and receive, mixed original faxing, PC faxing and memory reception.
For graphic-intense environments an IC-402 image controller offers True Adobe PostScript 3 support and an Intel Celeron 2GHz CPU for processing large colour files.
The IC-402 is claimed to have a wide range of colour management options including graphic arts functions, such as auto trapping, hot folders and standard spot-on colour matching), EFI Impose, EFI Densitometer, Colourwise Pro tools and the EFI Colour Profiler Kit.
Because of the importance of document security and document handling, the Bizhub C351 supports hard disk drive overwrite and job erase, which automatically overwrites the hard disk drive after each job.
The C351 also offers user authentication with NDS capability to protect a user job by prohibiting its modification or deletion.
With user authentication, it is possible to enable or disable each user's access to the device based on function - copy, print, scan, fax and hold job control, said Konica Minolta.
The Bizhub C351's User Box feature supports each of the device's functions.
With a total of 1,000 user boxes and the ability to store up to 3,000 documents, users can manage individual user boxes, create public and private user boxes, assign passwords and restrict the number of files stored, added the company.
For added productivity and efficiency, Konica Minolta said it has has enhanced the system's finishing options.
The new FS-603 Booklet Finisher, with its sorting, stapling and saddle stitching, as well as optional hole punching capabilities, is said to allow users to create up to 60-page booklets.
The new FS-507 Staple Finisher features sort, group, corner staple, standard hole punching functions, as well as an optional output tray for analogue faxes.
In addition, users have access to Pagescope, Konica Minolta's family of integrated software applications and utilities that help businesses manage their documents and devices.

Also included is Pagescope Web Connection, which allows users to instantly check device conditions on all network-connected Konica Minolta printers and copiers from their desktops.
