1. Intro

Here they come – our new high class systems, the Konica

Minolta bizhub 600 and bizhub 750. These two powerful

machines perfectly perform in any of the following four

disciplines thanks to their “all-in-one” system architecture:

copying, scanning, printing, and even faxing! With an output

speed of 60 and 75 pages per minute respectively, and a

maximum monthly print volume of 300,000 pages, our new

pace makers respond equally well to the requirements of large

workgroups, busy departments and CRDs and are also suitable

as back-up machines in light PoD environments.

Advanced network scanning and printing functions,

comprehensive archiving capabilities, solid paper handling,

production-like finishing and – last not least - a new easy to

understand graphic user interface combined with a large user-

friendly tilt-capable operation panel and touch screen

guarantee an unprecedented level of efficiency, ease of use

and superior output quality.

Increased copy and print resolution, full Document Box and Job

Spooler functionality, LDAP and Active Directory support,

compliance with the ISO 15408 EAL3 security standard (from

mid 2006) as well as a new generation of polymerised toner are

but a few of the many highlights built into our new high volume

units.

Due for launch in October 2005, the two new models directly

succeed our successful Konica Minolta 7255/Di5510 and

7272/Di7210. Enter into new dimensions of document

management and production and let your work flow with the

Konica Minolta bizhub 600 and bizhub 750!

2. Market

2.1 Market Trend

In 2004, Europe saw a combined total placement of 26,533 B/W standalone and MFP units in

category 4, which corresponds to a 11.6% share of the total office B/W market. According to

InfoSource, the CAGR in this category is around 4% for the timeframe from 2003 until 2008. That

means there is room for growth, if modest one, hence a certain potential for our two new high

volume units to be sold successfully.

Needless to say, we can no longer neglect the presence of colour capable devices also in this area

of the market. The Canon iR6800CN, for example, has been sold very successfully, its price being

in line with comparable B/W units. And also Ricoh will launch several H/V colour capable products

soon. On the whole, the percentage of colour capables in the upper speed range is somewhere

around the 10% marker in 2005, but is thought to almost triple by 2008. Similarly, the replacement

of standalone units by MFPs is accelerating and a 50 : 50 distribution of the market was reached

by the middle of this year. Analogue machines are predicted to die out completely in most

segments by the year 2008 and also single-function printer placements are expected to decline

sharply.

According to InfoSource’s prediction for the first half of 2005, Konica Minolta were able to capture a

7.8% market share (= rank 4) of the monochrome office market in Cat. 4 with Canon, Ricoh and

Xerox in the leading three positions.

Yet, we are losing market share in this segment. One reason for this can be seen in the fact that 60

– 68 ppm models dominate segment 4 sales and up to now we had no product in this speed range.

Luckily, this will now change with the introduction of the bizhub 600.

InfoSource Cat 4 (60~89ppm) by ppm (in Top10)

InfoSource 2004

2.2 Sales Approach

Within our own product line-up, the bizhub 600 covers the speed range from 55 – 65/70 ppm, while

the bizhub 750 covers that from around 70 – 80 ppm. The focus for both products clearly is the

office environment. While with the bizhub 600 we are mainly targeting the needs of large, busy

departments as well as CRDs, with the bizhub 750 we seek to additionally concentrate on copy

shops/print for pay businesses as well as back-up installations in light PoD environments.

As pointed out before, there is definitely still a considerable potential of analogue as well as first

and second generation digital machines in the field that could aptly be replaced by the bizhub 600

and bizhub 750. Thanks to their increased speed, all-in-one architecture, EmperonTM technology

and new bizhub design we will, however, hopefully also be able to open up new markets and

generate additional sales in the high volume arena.

We must not only secure and expand Konica Minolta’s revenue from high print volumes, but we

should at the same time strengthen our overall brand awareness by advertising the bizhub concept

also at the upper end of the market.

To date it is unclear whether HP will continue to procure the products from Konica Minolta as

replacement for their current LaserJet 9055 and 9065 MFPs.

2.3 Positioning

3. Product Concept

The bizhub 600 and bizhub 750 are based on the new bizhub

OP (Open Platform), the most important parts of which are

the all-in-one architecture, which uses the same CPU and

firmware to control all copy, scan, network and fax functions

as well as the EmperonTM driven print system with a unified

interpreter, PJL (HP compatible) and printer driver. About

80% of the firmware is identical to that of the bizhub C450

and it will also be largely common with that of future models,

which is a considerable advantage not only from development point of view, but also in major

account installations where several different Konica Minolta devices are installed and will provide

the user with the same, easy to understand interfaces: “get to know one, operate all”!

5. Special Features and their Benefit

5.1 Job Management

Up to 50 jobs can be pre-programmed directly at

the machine and the bizhub 600 and bizhub 750

are able to manage a large number of jobs

simultaneously (e.g. print while scan) already

from the first firmware release. This multi-access

capability ensures fast job processing and low

down times.

5.2 bizhub Design & Operation

“Innovative, intelligent, pleasant” – these are the

key words that describe the bizhub design concept. Special thought has been given to the product

colouring and shape, easy tray handling and especially the operation panel:

The bizhub 600 and bizhub 750 are equipped with a new, tilt-capable panel with a user-friendly

and easy to understand key layout. The large touch-screen LCD offers clearly arranged function

keys and the “Enlarge Display” feature allows to zoom up the display to increase legibility for

visually impaired people. The newly designed common GUI (graphic user interface) is largely

identical to that of the bizhub C450, and will also be seen on future models.

Apart from these obvious assets, also the noise emission has been reduced considerably

compared to the predecessors. Thus, the bizhub 600 and bizhub 750 will not be perceived as a

disturbing factor if installed in open space offices and therefore no longer need to be confined to a

dedicated room.

5.3 Scanning

The document feeder scans 75 originals per minute at a resolution of 600 x 600. By interpolation a

writing resolution of 1,200 x 600 dpi is realised in copy mode by adapting the rotation speed of the

polygon mirror accordingly. Supported file formats are TIFF and pdf (both single and multi-page).

Scan to FTP, SMB and eMail are standard features thanks to the standard Ethernet

10baseT/100baseTX network card; scan to HDD/Box and TWAIN network scanning is optional and

only possible if the hard disk (HD-503) is installed.

For more details on the various scanning applications please also refer to our separate scan guide

and flash file.

5.4 Printing

The bizhub 600 and bizhub 750 come equipped with an Intel Celeron 400 and 650

MHz CPU, respectively. The print resolution is 2,400 x 600 dpi (interpolated),

supported Operating Systems are Win98/Me, NT4.0/2000/XP/2003; Mac 9.x/10.x.

The print function is part of the standard board and can be easily activated with

the optional IC-202 image controller.

The products are EmperonTM driven, which means that print jobs are received and queued in the

form of PDL (printer description language), such as PCL6 and PostScript3 (both clone versions),

queued jobs are output to the print engine and interpreted and rasterised (PCL, PS, PDF) into

bitmap data.

The printer is HP PJL compatible. HP Webjet Admin Plug-ins are available for download from the

Konica Minolta website (from spring/mid 2006). Special print functions include Secure Printing,

Booklet, Mixplex (combination of simplex and duplex prints), Chapterisation (a new chapter always

starts on a right page in a document/booklet), Proof Printing and TAB printing, as well as full

finishing and front/back cover support. A USB 2.0 and a parallel IEEE1284 interface are available

as options. The 512 MB of memory are shared with the copier.

With the Job Spooler information about the machine status and configuration as well as access to

(i. e. viewing of) complete job queues is provided. Moreover, prioritising and cancellation of jobs in

5.5 Document Box/Server

The Box function turns the bizhub 600 and bizhub 750 into true document

servers and archiving systems, allowing for the sharing and distribution of

often used files and forms. Up to 1,000 user boxes (public and personal

ones) are available for copy, print, scan and fax jobs. Access to the boxes

can be controlled by specifying a box password. Personal user boxes can be used by certain

individuals only. If user authentication settings have been applied, the box can only be accessed

by users who have logged in.

Documents are named automatically by function type, device name, data and document number,

but can also be named manually. Documents stored in a box can be deleted, renamed, moved or

copied to another box, be printed or proof printed, and complete output and finishing settings can

be selected. Various jobs stored in a box can be combined to a new job regardless of their file

format.

Moreover, routing of scanned documents to eMail, FTP or SMB is possible as well as selection of

the file type independent from the scanner setting.

Faxes can be received into a user box, be printed or re-routed to fax transmission or an eMail

address.

Through PS WebConnection, scan and fax boxes can be accessed, files can be downloaded and

their format be changed (pfd, tiff).

5.6 Fax

FK-502 is a Super G3 fax option with a 33.6 Kbps modem, 200 up to 600 dpi resolution (normal,

fine, superfine, ultra-fine), MH/MR/MMR/JBIG compression. The fax option will become available

at the beginning of 2006. Additional fax functionality will then be provided with Phase 2 (spring

2006), including dual line fax, which is supported if a second FK-502 is installed.

Up to 1000 abbreviated dials (up to 2000 with hard disk) and 200 one-touch and program dials (up

to 400 with hard disk) are available. Functions like Quick Memory transmission (fax-while-scan),

book transmission and batch transmission are available as are 230 Polling locations.

Launch Guide bizhub 600/bizhub 750

The availability of iFax is still pending. It is currently planned for Phase 2. iFax will however not

require the installation of FK-502, but only of the hard disk, HD-503.

5.7 Security

The bizhub 600 and bizhub 750 are compliant with the ISO 15408 EAL3

security standard. The application will be submitted as soon as the Phase 2

firmware has been released around spring 2006 so that certification can

finally be expected by mid 2006. In addition to this, both products offer a

range of additional safety features such as copy and print accounting, secure

printing, function restriction for copy, print, scan, fax and box functions, user authentication (see

below), SSL encryption (the protocol is used for data communication between the LDAP server,

the PageScope Data Administrator or PageScope WebConnection and the main body), IP filtering

and more. Besides, all MFP operations can be stored in the log data, thereby allowing to trace

unauthorised access.

With the optional security chip SC-501, which will become available with Phase 2, data can be

encrypted. Moreover, hard disc data can be overwritten and the hard disc can additionally be

secured with a password. Unauthorised tampering with files is thus made impossible.

5. 8 User Authentication/Accounts

The use of network related functions can be restricted by Windows Active Directory via pre-

registration of user IDs and passwords. Up to 1,000 accounts are available.

5. 9 Print Status Notifier

From Phase 2, the Print Status Notifier will also be

available for the bizhub 600 and bizhub 750. This

tool monitors the print status and notifies the user

about the job completion or errors that occurred

when printing through real-time bi-driectional

communication via SNMP. It needs to be installed

manually and is only supported by the PCL driver.

5.10 Finishing

Sorting, grouping, off-setting, stapling of up to 100 sheets, folding (Z-fold, letter fold, centre fold),

complete booklet production, selectable 2 and 4 hole punching as well as cover/sheet insertion

from the Post Inserter represent the range of available online finishing functions. New is that all

three finishing options, the punch kit, the Z-fold unit incl. punch kit and the post inserter can be

combined with any of the three finishers, alone or in any desired combination. If a user not only

wants to punch sheets fed from the paper trays, but also covers or sheets inserted from the post

inserter, he will have to install the post inserter, Z-fold unit as well as the punch kit.

Another noteworthy improvement is that the finisher productivity has been increased to reach

100% in almost all modes. Yet, there is also a drawback: the originally planned staple-cut function

for the FS-505 will finally not be available.

8. Consumables

9. Environmental Aspects

The new Blue Angel Mark, Energy Star and TÜV/GS regulations are met.

Moreover, the bizhub 600 and bizhub 750 are RoHS (Regulation on the use of

Hazardous Substances) compliant, a regulation that prohibits the use of lead,

mercury and other such substances with electronic equipment and comes into

force by mid 2006. Likewise, the criteria of the WEEE regulation (Waste of Electric

and Electronic Equipment) are fulfilled.

The DTS (German Definitive Telefax Standard) test has been passed for the fax

option.

The drum of the bizhub 600 and bizhub 750 has a

yield of 500,000 copies/prints and can also be used

with the Konica Minolta 7255/7272.

One toner cartridge lasts for approx. 55,000

copies/prints at 6% coverage. The bizhub 600 and

bizhub 750 use a new kind of polymerised toner that

requires a 15° lower fixing temperature compared to

the current polymerised toner.

The developer lasts for 250,000 copies/prints. Both

the toner and the developer are new and to be used

exclusively with the bizhub 600 and bizhub 750.

A PM-Kit for up to 250,000 copies/prints is also

available and for exclusive use with the new models.

The new generation of SimitriTM

polymerised toner requires a 15° C

reduced fixing temperature, which

results in lower power consumption, a

faster warm-up time, thus supporting the

environmentally sound product concept.

10. Technical Improvements The 7255/Di5510 and 7272/Di7210 have received a BLI 5-star recommendation

so it does not surprise that according to our records, no major problems were
