Konica-Minolta C220 Printer Review

Built to handle the needs of a busy office, the Konica-Minolta bizhub C220 is a durable color laser printer that offers a versatile set of features and functions. With the ability to print, scan, copy and fax documents with professional quality and efficiency, the C220 has been rated one of the best office all-in-one machines of its class. The overall speed is slower than similar all-in-one models at 22 pages per minute, but it can warm up in less than 30 seconds and will print the first page in less than 12 seconds.

The scanner can process up to 70 scans per minute at a resolution of 300 dpi, but the speed is reduced as quality is increased to the maximum of 600 dpi. Scans can be sent to a computer file, hard drive or straight to email. The fax machine incorporates a 33.6 Kbps transmission rate to receive faxes in less than 3 seconds. It offers a big fax memory and up to 2,000 speed-dial options. As many as 9,999 duplicates can be made per original. Users can adjust the size of the image or text and a 100-sheet automatic document feeder makes it easy to copy continuously.

As this is a large-office color laser printer, there are four Konica-Minolta C220 toner cartridges that hold cyan, magenta, yellow and black printer toner. Usually when toners have high yields, it equates to a low cost per page. Thus is the case with the bizhub C220 toner cartridges that yield 26,000 pages of color and 29,000 pages of black. Third-party vendors can offer competitive prices on replacement Konica-Minolta C220 toner. Users can also activate the economy printing mode to reduce the amount of bizhub C220 toner used for each print, ultimately costing less per page.

As far as features go, the C220 is fully loaded. It has a maximum 60,000-print monthly duty cycle, a 667 MHz processor, 2 GB of RAM and 250 GB of internal hard drive space. The 8.5 inch LCD is touchscreen and displays thumbnail images of tasks in the queue. USB and ethernet connection ports are available and the security features are better than many in the same class. The C220 has optional upgrades available, such as Bluetooth, finishing capabilities and the i-Option kit, which allows users to access the internet directly from the machine.

This unit has so many useful features and functions that the daily workload around a busy office will seem much lighter. Upgrades and affordable Konica-Minolta C220 toner replacements are available that allow the machine to grow with the company while staying within the budget.
