Konica Minolta Bizhub 421 Printer Review
Expert review of the Konica Minolta Bizhub 421 printer
The Konica Minolta Bizhub 421 black and white multifunction printer is aimed at medium-sized offices that require a speedy and user-friendly multifunction copier for their document processing needs. The Bizhub 421 mono laser mutifunction printer is versatile and robust enough to handle high-volume jobs. However, the expensive price, the size, and the fact that the Bizhub 421 has been discontinued are some of the setbacks for this model.
Design
The Konica Minolta Bizhub 421 multifunction printer is a large and bulky machine that measures 895mm tall, 823.7mm deep, and 685mm wide. The Bizhub 421 multifunction copier stands out with an ADF on top of the flatbed scanner and because of the minimalist control panel with an adjustable colour touchscreen display. The standard paper capacity is 1,150 sheets, which can be maximised to 5,650 sheets. Ethernet and USB are the main interfaces.
Advantages
High memory ensures speedy copying and printing of documents, at up to 23ppm on A3 sheets and 42ppm on A4-sized media. The scanner of the Konica Minolta Bizhub 421 can handle 3D objects or thicker media like books and magazines. The device can produce up to 999 copies and use the stackless duplexer to save paper. The Konica Minolta Bizhub 421 black and white MFP has room for a 60GB hard disk drive and a fax board. This is a network-ready device. It is possible to scan directly to a USB memory key or to a network. The high-yield Bizhub 421 black toner is the ideal accessory for any busy office or workplace.
Disadvantages
Konica Minolta has discontinued the Bizhub 421 copier, so those who want this machine should consider other options. Users might find the Konica Minolta Bizhub 421 to be expensive to purchase and upgrade, too. Setting it up can be challenging because it weighs 97Kg. Those who wish to use the fax functions must upgrade the Konica Minolta 421 MFP. This device can only print in monochrome and in 600x600dpi, so the quality of very detailed graphics might decline.
