bizhub PRO C754 The right mix for the print industry

Production system bizhub PRO C754

bizhub PRO C754, production system

To survive in today’s markets requires a good product mix, clever marketing and competitive prices. In the print industry this means a good mix of print products, reliable technology and cost-effective calculation.

Printing with a competitive edge

Rather than excelling in any one discipline, bizhub PRO C754 offers a good mix of features, technolo-gies, and investment – and with that the competitive edge to drive a successful printing business and satisfy varied customer demands. As mixed as its feature set are its possible applications:

■■ For the commercial print industry, bizhub PRO C754 provides entry-level access to digital print-ing. Its affordable price makes it a safe invest-ment and easy on any budget. And its ease of use keeps the digital learning curve low, enabling printers to concentrate on their business.

■■ In the print-for-pay business, time is money. And a system that offers walk-in users self-service for their copying, printing and scanning needs saves key operators and owners valuable time. With its intuitive and customisable user panel, bizhub PRO C754 guides even inexperienced users to the desired results. Its banner-printing feature for striking displays of up to 1.2 metres length adds a unique advantage to any printer’s offering. While the compact and attractive design makes the bizhub PRO C754 an eye catcher in any print room.

■■ The CRD environment focuses on efficiency as a key criterion, in order to support incoming requests with competence and creditable results. bizhub PRO C754 fulfils these demands with an unfailingly performing print engine. Widening the scope of duties, the bizhub PRO C754’s scanning features easily turn a CRD into a central scanning facility, offering direct digitisation into workflows so that users are left with more time to concen-trate on their real tasks.

Last but not least, the bizhub PRO C754 does not specialise in either black and white or colour pro-duction, but combines both in one economic device, offering advantages of cost and time especially on mixed short run jobs.

Versatile media capabilities

The bizhub PRO C754’s comprehensive media processing provides enhanced flexibility in output choices. The generous paper supply of up to 6,650 sheets in combination with the possibility to refill paper during production enables operators to com-plete even higher-volume jobs without interruption. Paper sizes from A6 to SRA3, A3+, and paper quali-ties of up to 300 gsm as well as special media are all processed without hitch, same as customised sizes. Banner printing on individual sheets of up to 1.2 metres length is a unique addition to the range of possible print products, enabling the production of specialties like panorama pictures, display window ads, outsized product overviews, and many more.

Attractive finishing choices

Inline finishing gives productivity an important boost, as print runs are completed automatically and do not require operator intervention to give finished print products the final professional touch. The bizhub PRO C754 can be equipped with either of two finishers, both of which feature endless booklet production with half-fold and saddle stitching for booklets of up to 80 pages (20 sheets) as well as automatic 2- or 4-hole punching. Depending on the choice of finisher, multi-position stapling is for max. 50 or up to 100 sheets per stapled set; also avail-able is a letter-fold feature, which is perfect for the timesaving automatic folding of invoices, mailings and similar prints. For a professional look-and-feel, covers of up to 209 gsm can be added automati-cally to stapled handouts or brochures, enhancing the value of the final printed product.

ORU-M and CS Remote Care

Together, Konica Minolta’s ORU-M approach and the CS Remote Care concept as well as efficient service and maintenance give print providers peace of mind, as they enhance reliability, minimise system standstills and facilitate qualified self-maintenance for key operators.

The Operator Replaceable Unit Management (ORU-M) concept enables print providers and CRD operators to carry out preventive system care as well as a cer-tain amount of parts replacement without technical assistance from Konica Minolta. This self-mainte-nance keeps image quality at a constant high level and reduces system downtime enormously.

In combination with CS Remote Care, ORU-M reli-ably guarantees maximum uptime of the bizhub PRO C754: While ORU-M for example enables add-ing toner on-the-fly, CS Remote Care ensures that sufficient toner is always in stock!

Altogether, Konica Minolta’s remote monitoring application CS Remote Care ensures pro-active and highly flexible service support: All relevant system data are transmitted directly to the Konica Minolta service in an automated process that never needs user intervention. With constant analysis of the system performance CS Remote Care enables auto-mated reporting and preventive maintenance, effec-tively assuring maximum system uptime. In addi-tion, CS Remote Care reliably monitors the use of consumables and ensures automatic on-time toner deliveries, so that machine standstills due to lack of toner are simply out of the question. CS Remote Care helps keep the bizhub PRO C754 running smoothly, minimising interruptions and maximising system availability.

Productivity can have many aspects; and if the right printing system is chosen, it will decrease a print provider’s overall running costs, helping to increase income and profitability. A suitable printing system will enhance the out-put flexibility, thus extending the portfolio of print products and the overall productivity. If the printing system is equipped with automatic finishing features, this will free valuable manpower making operators more productive, while technical reliability will keep the system up and running and the general productivity high.

A good mix for productivity

S.E.A.D.

As proprietary Konica Minolta technology, S.E.A.D. stands for „Screen-Enhancing Active Digital Process“ and combines various technical innova-tions to guarantee impeccable colour reproduction at top speed. Konica Minolta’s advanced colour processing technology includes these important capabilities:

■■ 600 x 1,800 dpi x 6 bit print resolution With the physical print resolution of 600 x 1,800 dpi and continuous tone printing of 6 bit, bizhub PRO C754 offers high quality output for images and graphics, and smooth colour gradation. For the particular support of fine line reproduction and the very small characters in e.g. maps and similar doc-uments, the bizhub PRO C754 can be switched to 1,200 x 1,200 dpi for precision printing.■■ Screen technology Depending on the different image objects on one page – photos, graphics and text – bizhub PRO C754 automatically applies the best print screen-ing to ensure smooth, even or sharp reproduction for a perfect match of the print data.

Quality is vital for any print product – print providers need to meet customer expectations all the time, in order to maintain a successful business. Quality is best kept up with a print system with built-in control mechanisms. Only this avoids constant surveillance of the system and ensures that owners and key operators can relax with regard to quality. Konica Minolta’s own-developed integrated quality assurance technologies are S.E.A.D., ARDS and Simitri polymerised toner:

A good mix for assured quality


■■ ITbit technology Outline processing improves the appearance of characters by thinning them so they do not appear fat. Contour processing helps to repro-duce white characters on backgrounds with ideal proportions and reduces jagged edges of half-tone characters.■■ Image stability A short interval stability control monitors image consistency on the bizhub PRO C754 during con-tinuous printing without affecting performance. Corrections are fully automatic and improve the stability of the image quality, while the whole pro-cess considerably enhances production efficiency. To avoid production interruptions, the stability system analyses incoming print jobs and carries out stabilisation at the start or at the end of the print run.■■ Retention and stability In addition to internal monitoring, the system also checks for ambient changes to temperature and humidity as these might influence the print quality. The bizhub PRO C754 automatically adapts to any changes that are detected and thus keeps its sta-bility over the complete print run.

Auto Refining Developer System

(ARDS)

Konica Minolta’s Auto Refining Developer System ensures constant high image quality while max-imising consumables yield. The innovative ARDS technology regularly refreshes the toner and the car-rier inside the bizhub PRO C754. This helps avoid deterioration of the carrier, increases the developer life and improves the b/w image quality. As a result, this intelligent developing system supports a stable image quality over the long term, while at the same time making b/w printing more economic.

Simitri® HD polymerised toner

In production printing, a high colour image quality as well as impeccable black density are essential requirements. The bizhub PRO C754 delivers both, thanks to Konica Minolta’s unique Simitri® HD poly-merised toner. Simitri® HD ensures a faultless colour image quality and with its reduced fusing tempera-ture supports a comprehensive range of media.■■ Highly uniform shape and extremely small particles■■ Wider colour gamut thanks to smoother dispersion of colour pigments■■ Outstanding colour fade resistance■■ Enhanced durability: Resistant to peeling and can be folded without degrading print quality■■ Less toner coverage required for perfect results■■ Oil-free fusing process■■ Extended media range and reduced energy con-sumption thanks to lower fusing temperature■■ Eco-friendly manufacturing process with substan-tially reduced emissions.

A good mix for enjoyable colour

Calibration and EFI Color Profiler

Exact calibration of the controller and the output device is essential for accuracy in colour reproduction.

■■ For standard calibration with EFi ColorCal, a spe-cially designed calibration chart is printed and then scanned on the bizhub■■ Optionally, the IC-414 can be equipped with the EFI Color Profiler – a handheld spectrometer for professional calibration to stabilise and enhance the output quality.

Command WorkStation®

With the Command WorkStation, the Fiery IC-414 offers a powerful advanced platform that combines remarkable convenience with excellent and highly functional graphics features.

■■ Centralised job management and connection to all Fiery servers on the network■■ Intuitive interface for straightforward operation, and adaptation to any environment with flexible software ■■ Easy setup, management and job control in the Job Center area for centralised viewing and man-aging of all sent jobs to the Fiery server■■ Integrated previews minimise printing errors and waste■■ SeeQuence Preview for easy navigation through an entire document, facilitating adding, deleting, and merging of pages.

Colour accuracy, image stability and consistent quality are not only buzz words in the print industry, but aspects that make professional printing a complex task. Also in this regard the PRO bizhub C754 keeps its promise and performance, featuring an embedded Fiery controller that offers a range of valuable tools, which simplify the job of a key operator and make the taming of colour an enjoyable task.


A good mix for capture & digitisationThese days, scanning and the digitisation of documents are major applications in most larger companies. And they often become time-consuming tasks for the individual user blocking valuable resources that are more effi-ciently used for qualified work. The bizhub PRO C754 and its scanning capabilities can turn a CRD into the com-pany’s central location for document capture and direct distribution into specific user workflows, freeing man-power for more important duties. Combining central document digitisation with the CRD’s usual task of document production upgrades the job of the in-house print room and lets the whole company appreciate its services more.

High-speed scanning

As essential input technology, scanning simplifies and streamlines the capturing, distribution and sharing of information. Its high-speed duplex scanner makes the bizhub PRO C754 an ideal central input tool, e.g. to capture paper-based information for use in internal workflows, for efficient document archiving, and inte-gration into Document Management Systems.

The bizhub PRO C754 scans up to 180 images per minute and, combined with Konica Minolta’s versatile capturing applications, is perfect for high-volume document scanning. The functionality includes scan to e.g. email, FTP, SMB and user box; and the scan formats JPEG, multi-page PDF and PDF/A, XPS and TIFF as well as compact PDF and compact XPS. The latter provide considerably reduced file sizes that help to ease network traffic and speed up communication.

bEST technologies

Konica Minolta’s bizhub Extended Solution Technology (bEST) provides the platform and tech-nologies to facilitate the complete integration of the bizhub PRO C754 into customer environments, which is of particular interest to document-intensive business areas, such as logistics, manufacturing, legal or healthcare. bEST enables operators to start e.g. document capturing and archiving workflows directly at the bizhub panel, inputting all required information like document type and additional index fields during the scan process so that post-treat-ment of the scans in the PC is no longer required.

Under the roof of bEST, numerous applications such as the Document Navigator provide intelligent image processing and distribution capabilities, ensuring e.g. the fast conversion of scanned documents into desired formats as well as automatic routing to a chosen network location. During the scanning process, e.g. supplier IDs or invoice numbers can automatically be read from the documents and used as archiving path, index field or part of the document name. Connectors facilitate the bizhub PRO C754’s full integration into CRM, EPS and DMS systems.


Unlimited usability for individual

choice

Following the trend of today’s easy usability of commu-nication devices, bizhub PRO C754 sets new standards in user friendliness with an innovative 9-inch capacitive colour touch-screen panel. This large screen features multi-touch functionality with the intuitive “Flick & Drag” operation meanwhile well known from smartphones and tablet PCs.

The user interface in this newest generation of Konica Minolta’s office multifunctionals has been completely redesigned with the focus on near-limitless usability – it is intuitive, well structured and customisable:

A good mix for user convenience

■■ For instant access, the most frequently used fea-tures (i.e. print, copy, scan, fax, etc.) can be indi-vidually selected and freely arranged on the main panel. Additionally, the menu screen provides direct access to any MFP function – copy, scan, fax, box, as well as copy and scan programs, installed applications and preset workflows.■■ Pop-up windows open for all function settings, always keeping the main panel available. This avoids users getting lost in too many different function screens.■■ For easier understanding and more intuitive opera-tion, function settings have been enhanced with logical icons, and the number of hard buttons has been reduced to a minimum.■■ Features can be limited on user level with 3 pre-sets (basic, standard and full), structuring the MFP operation for e.g. regular and infrequent users and avoiding the confusion of too many choices. In addition, the Konica Minolta service can program another 3 presets for individual requirements.

Usability is equally important for customers, i.e. walk-in users, as well as for company-internal operators. If work-ing with a device can be simplified, this will increase the comfort and convenience of the job to be done and with that the motivation to get it done. Obtaining expected results faster and without complications ensures above all that external and internal “customers” will come back again and again.

A good mix for a greener worldIf savings can be made in print costs, this allows companies to invest into areas that are more important for their business. And by adopting green IT technology, they fulfil the expectations of the modern eco-conscious society, which helps to improve a company’s standing in general. With its green technology, the bizhub PRO C754 honours both aspects, lowering the overall cost of printing with reduced power consumption and less wasted paper. Not surprisingly, the bizhub PRO C754’s sound eco-performance has been awarded the Blue Angel Mark as well as the Energy Star certification.

Impeccable eco-performance

The bizhub PRO C754 impresses with a wealth of eco-highlights, including LED scanner lighting, 3 Watt sleep and 0.5 Watt power save mode, induc-tion heating fuser technology, or the wakeup-for-scan-only technology that avoids heating the engine when unnecessary. These and other energy-saving features support the highly economic power con-sumption, which is far below the limits required for Energy Star and Blue Angel and contributes to the low overall machine running cost.

Not only can the bizhub PRO C754’s innovative dynamic eco timer be programmed on a week-day, date or time basis; it automatically analyses machine usage and improves settings, e.g. switches to sleep mode during a recurring break. And thanks to the extremely short warm-up time of just 22 sec-onds, users need not worry about a lengthy wait before printing.

Besides contributing to a high output quality, Simitri® HD polymerised toner aids the sound eco-performance. The latest generation of this high quality toner delivers better prints than ever, while its biomass ingredient helps reduce the bizhub PRO C754’s carbon emission further. Another environ-mental plus of Simitri HD is its easy deinking, which is essential to enable recycling of used paper.

Avoids wasting paper

In addition to the essential power saving aspect, the bizhub PRO C754 offers important features to avoid misprints and wasting paper. The copy pre-view feature built into the MFP as well as the Print Preview in the Command Work Station enable users to check their desired output including finishing set-tings before producing a single page. And features like auto duplex or n-up facilitate saving paper.


■■ Main configuration In its standard configuration, the bizhub PRO C754 features the essential compo-nents for professional printing and scanning. The Fiery print controller IC-414, driven by the latest System 10e, is embedded into the system. The built-in automatic duplex unit enables double-sided printing with 100% productivity, while the standard one-pass dual-scan ADF captures documents at a speed of 180 images per minute.
