Konica Minolta 163 Printer Review

As is with the Konica-Minolta bizhub 163, some laser desktop printers are appealing to users looking to expand workflow by providing a number of upgradable features. The 163 provides a standard memory of 32 MB can be increased to a maximum of up to 160 MB. Another expandable feature is the paper handling capacity, which has a built-in standard 250-sheet multipurpose tray and a 100-page bypass tray, but offers up to four additional 250-page paper feeders sold separately.

This unit operates with only one black Konica-Minolta 163 toner cartridge that is easy to snap in and out of the slot. As opposed to some desktop printers that use an assortment of color toners, the use of only black printer toner limits production capabilities to black-and-white jobs. As a result of its single Konica-Minolta 163 toner, users looking to produce images or color graphics should shop around for a different device. Among the supplies and utilities provided, the manufacturer also includes a starter bizhub 163 toner cartridge.

With built-in multifunction features, the 163 is designed to provide users with an assortment of different functions to fit a variety of needs. Its copier function, for example, can produce accurate duplicates with an exact resolution using Konica-Minolta 163 toner. The printer can produce black-and-white projects with a sharp maximum resolution of 600x600 dpi using bizhub 163 toner.

Additional functions include a scanner and fax machine that further expand the capability of the 163. With an ethernet base as a connection option, users can print, copy, scan and fax documents through a network. A USB port also allows users to directly connect a single computer. Overall, the 163 is an all-in-one machine that is designed to benefit users seeking a desktop printer that won't limit productivity.
