Covers for Duplex and Fusing unit

require access to the rear

side!

No gliding rails for the papertrays! Must move

out the trays

completely!

Machine Dimension / Real footprint

In basic configuration not the smartest desktop system due to a higher depthBut a higher depth offers much more value by additional features and

functionality (e.g. A4C paperpath / A3 support, shorter paperpath, lower noise (rotation speed) and common to KM A3 system in parts, consumables)

Absolute comparable in width and height to competitor A4 MFP’s (in comparable 2-tray configuration)

A4 Professional handling in comparison to smaller AIO or Printer like models (no rear side access, A3 look and feel, papertray gliding rails, no print cartridge system…)

Very low spatial extent in comparison to competitor models (see real footprint, A4C paperpath, output tray, embedded finisher, papertrays, …)

A perfect A4 Professional MFP in a smart and functional designA perfect alliance of size, functionality and reliability

Conclusion

16

What does a paperjam mean……with bizhub 36/42 ?

Usability in case of paperjam…

Full access by opening the right door covers only!

…with bizhub 36/42. Don’t worry about it!

18

What does paperjam mean……with competitor models ?

Usability in case of paperjam…

Full access only by....opening the right tray covers..opening the bypass + top cover (shell) and remove the print cartridge!..removing the duplex unit at the left side ..opening the left side to get access to the fusing unit ..and/or remove the duplex cover and the fusing unit completly And good luck for the reverse order!(FYI! Nearly similar procedure with HP M4555 MFP)

…with competitor model HP M4345x MFP

In most cases a nightmare!

Usability in case of paperjam…

Full access only by....opening the lower front cover..opening the upper front cover (X652/654/656 with complete display)..removing the complete print cartridge ! If paperjam still exist ....try to move the complete system off from the wall....to get access to the fusing unit via upper rear cover..to get access to the duplex unit via lower rear cover(FYI! Similar procedure with Lexmark X658 MFP and X460 MFP series)

…with competitor model Lexmark X650 series

Duplex + Fuser access at rear side!

Usability in case of paperjam…

Full access by....opening the upper front cover ..removing the complete toner/developer cartridge for inner paperjam!..closing complete upper section again! and....removing the upper papertray to get access to duplex unit..or try to move the complete system off from the wall....and remove the transport/ fusing unit at the rear side!(FYI! Similar procedure with Kyocera FS-3040+ MFP / FS-3140+ MFP)

…with competitor model Kyocera FS-3540 / 3640 MFP

Transport / Fuser access at rear side!

Usability in case of paperjam…

Full access by....opening the right door cover only! To get access to paperpath, duplex unit and fuser unit

…with competitor model Samsung 6545 / Xerox WC 4250

Convenient way!

Usability in case of paperjam…

Paperjam access only by....removement of the complete print cartridge plus unconvenient access

to the rear side of the system is also required for: HP M3035 MFP, Xerox WorkCentre 3550X, Lexmark X460 series,

Samsung SCX-5835FN and Xerox Phaser 3635 MFP

Typical AIO / Printer like!

Weaknesses with other competitor models (30 to 39ppm)

Usability in case of paperjam…

Full access via the right door covers only!Sliding rails for all papertraysNo print cartridge or toner cartridge removement requiredNo complete system movement requiredNo rear side access requiredNo duplex unit removement requiredNo complete papertray removement required for duplex unit access

Summary/ ConclusionWith bizhub 36/42 you can remove very simple and convenient the

jammed paper only without disassemble and reassemble the print cartridge, duplex unit, fusing unit, complete papertray or transport unit.

Advantages of A4 crosswise paperpath

USP of bizhub 36/42 in A4 MFP market

vs.A4LA4C

A4 crosswise paperpath

The only way to support A3 paper format (optional via bypass tray) F USP!30% shorter paperpath for simplex and duplex (210mm to 297mm)30% less abrasion of the drum surface F enhancement of drum, fuser yield…For same rated speed 30% less rotation speed F noise reduction, shift control30% reduced space for std. output tray F A4C/A4L /A3 at inner output tray!30% reduced space with embedded finisher – No assist tray for A4C needed!The only chance for Corner and 2point stapling F USP! Impossible with A4LSimple and space-saving way for the handling of finisher shifting (A5L simplex and duplex in full rated speed - 36 / 42 ppm)

Only available with bizhub 36/42 (A4 MFP market)

Product Strength ‘Calculator’- A4 MFP Office Professional

The bizhub 36 /42 MFP offers key ease-of-use, productivity and technology features that leave the competition behind!

Overall Product Strength ‘Calculator’

Product Strength ‘Calculator’ in preparation! (first version November 2011) An PDF, Excel or PowerPoint based document (not fixed yet)

To figure out the product strength of individual bizhub system configurations Head to Head to different competitor system configurations

To figure out value of different features, functionality, options (BEU presetting – but adjustable)

With an individual / customisable ‘Weighted Importance’ setting for features/ functionality (in %)

Based on all known facts a fair feature/ functionality assessments setting (Ranking 1 to 10)

The calculated Product Strength result will show the overall valency per system (1 to 10)

It will be a living document – (change, add or adjust settings will be possible, adaptable)

By clicking the individual ‘Ranking field’ a PopUp window will give you more detailed information about the ranking assessment.
