Bizhub 284e Printer Review
Expert review of the Bizhub 284e printer
A fast and efficient mono printer, the Konica Minolta 284e has a high print resolution and features a number of hi-tech options that will be useful for a modern office or other workplace. This is a multi-function printer, which means that you can copy and scan as well as print, and you can opt to have the fax function added.
Design
The touchscreen panel on the Konica Minolta Bizhub 284e is very easy to navigate, and there are a number of different options that can be added on if needed, including several fax options. The document feeder on the unit can hold up to 100 sheets at a time. The monthly duty cycle on this printer is 120,000 pages, so it is designed to handle large printing volumes before maintenance is required. The printer’s design features a number of storage trays for paper in both A4 and A3.
Advantages
The Konica Minolta 284e’s scan function can produce both colour and mono scans and can deal with up to 160 documents a minute. Scans can be sent to email or to a USB as well as a computer hard drive. This printer is very easy to use, and is ideal for those businesses that need large printing volumes without other complicated functions.
Disadvantages
The Konica Minolta Bizhub 284e is a large machine that weighs in excess of 168lb, and it has a height of just over three feet. This printer requires a dedicated space in the office and cannot be moved around easily, so it is not ideal for a very small office. A lack of duplex capability on this printer means that it is not the most eco-friendly option, and it also means that you will use more paper in the long term.
