Ideal for shared-printer environments, the Konica Minolta Magicolor 4750EN is a workgroup laser printer that offers high-quality monochrome and colour outputs. It allows wired network connectivity, thanks to the built-in Ethernet port, and standard USB connection for single-computer use. The Konica Minolta Magicolor 4750EN comes with a 256 MB RAM, which can be expanded to a maximum of 768 MB. Users can print on a wide range of media, from cards to glossy paper, and even envelopes and labels. The only real problem with this unit is its toner price, which can be quite steep, especially when printing large bulks of documents regularly.
Design
The Konica Minolta Magicolor 4750EN is not the most compact laser unit, measuring 16.5x20.6x13 inches. It connects via the Ethernet and high-speed USB ports, and media handling is made easy with the 250-sheet cassette and 100-sheet multipurpose tray. An optional duplex unit can be purchased for those who want to save on paper consumption and print on both sides of the paper much faster. The Konica Minolta 4750EN is designed for use with different types of media, and is compatible with Mac and Windows computers.
Advantages
With a monthly duty cycle of 120,000 pages, the Konica Minolta Magicolor 4750EN colour laser printer is a true workhorse, especially for offices with heavy printing needs. The Magicolor 4750EN can be networked for shared use and print resolutions reach as high as 4800x600 dpi for both colour and black and white prints. Print speeds are also not bad at 31 ppm.
Disadvantages
High toner price is the main complaint about the Minolta Magicolor 4750EN laser printer, although cartridges have high-page yields, which can justify their high cost. Long term use can be expensive.
