Konica Minolta 283 Printer Review

For such a powerful machine, the Konica-Minolta bizhub 283 can actually start out relatively compact, making it a great fit for small offices with growth potential. Its speed of 28 pages per minute may not be the fastest of its class, but quick scanning, a large ADF, and a large monthly duty cycle make it a real workhorse. Despite the machine's high price tag, bizhub 283 printer toner supplies are very inexpensive and cost-effective.

The 283 comes with printing, scanning, copying, and internet faxing functions included. Traditional faxing is an optional upgrade, but probably won't be needed for many modern offices, especially with so many excellent network scanning features. Users can send their scans to the optional internal hard drive, to an FTP server, or attach them as an email, eliminating the need for faxing in most cases. With the included OCR technology, it is simple to turn scans into searchable PDF files as well.

With a large, 8.5-inch color LCD screen, users have easy access to important features without having to dig through a lot of menu screens. The screen can tilt to 4 different angles for easier viewing, and it also helps users and office managers keep tabs on the level of Konica-Minolta 283 toner remaining, as well as the paper supply and any error messages.

Toners are easily replaced, so as not to interrupt the office workflow, and Konica-Minolta 283 toner cartridges are surprisingly affordable given their large yields. Each replacement bizhub 283 toner cartridge can last for up to 25,000 pages, so they have a very low cost per page.

While there are faster models in its lineup, the 283 is a good balance of performance and price, and will appeal to users in small or medium offices particularly. Upgrade options provide room to grow in the future, but savings on Konica-Minolta 283 toner supplies will start from day one.
