Design

The Konica Minolta Bizhub 654e has a touchscreen control and it is very easy to use. Anyone who has used a tablet or smartphone with toggle, pinch and swipe functions will be able to use the controls. The staple finisher on this unit can staple up to 100 sheets, which is twice as much as smaller models in the Bizhub range. The design allows for the addition of card readers, so users can log in and out of the printer using their standard office ID, increasing the security of the machine and documents.

Advantages

The Konica Minolta 654e’s dual scanning feature allows for fast scanning, and the print and copy functions can handle up to 65 pages per minute. The printer’s productivity can be boosted with the help of the downloadable apps. Finishing options include the booklet finishing and saddle-stitcher. Paper storage on the unit is up to 3,000 sheets of paper. The SuperG3 Fax Kits allow for faster reception and transmission of faxes, and the machine can handle up to four fax lines.

Disadvantages

There is no colour function on the Konica Minolta Bizhub 654e, which might make this an impractical choice for some offices. This large-scale printer is not easy to move around, so it will need a dedicated space in the office. The large size might also make this impractical for very small offices.
