bizhub C203 Compact, smart and clever

Office system bizhub C203

In modern office communication, small companies and offices, even single users, generally have the same requirements as big organisations – the essential difference is the volume. Small offices need colour just like the professionals do; and small companies expect quality in black & white imaging just like their larger counterparts.

Smart and clever with

extra convenience

Workflow options

With the bizhub C203 Konica Minolta offers the

perfect small multifunctional for the b/w and colour

imaging needs of the small office or company.

Extremely compact yet highly flexible, this entry-level

A3 colour device combines innovative technology

and comprehensive functionality with advanced appli-

cations. A special highlight is its complete modularity

which allows the bizhub C203 to be customized

into almost any tailor-made communication solution a

modern small company is looking for.

■ The innovative InfoLine design not only boosts the

easy usability but makes the bizhub C203 an

attractive central feature in any company. Thanks

to highly compact dimensions its footprint is

extremely small and it will find its place in even the

smallest office.

■ Advanced print, scan, fax and user box functions

streamline every-day communication, save time

and enhance overall office efficiency. Modular

finishing features round off the bizhub C203’s

capabilities, bringing the fast completion of

professional document formats within easy reach.

■ A generous range of PageScope utilities automates

set-up procedures, facilitates status monitoring and

provides efficient device management. The desktop

management software PS Workware for example

optimizes the document workflow while device

monitoring is streamlined with PS Web Connection.

With such clever versatility, flexibility and efficiency

available in the new bizhub C203, modern offices

and small companies need look no further but can

now improve their document processing and all-round

office communication the smart way!

■ A generously sized colour panel boosts the usability!

Settings of copy or scan jobs, device monitoring

and whatever else needs to be performed via the

user panel, are all much facilitated with the logical

operation layout and intuitive menu navigation.

■ The unified driver design for the various features

and functionalities further streamlines and speeds

up setting procedures, avoiding confusion and

wrong entries from occasional users.

■ Job pre-programming speeds operation procedures

and minimises idle waiting around at the device.

Any number of scan, copy, fax and print jobs can

all be programmed ahead – and the Print Status

Notifier will conveniently advise users when to

collect their output.

Configurations

Pioneering design and

smart usabilityEase of use is essential at any place of work, however compact or extensive the office or company. With the bizhub C203 Konica Minolta has ensured easy usability in a variety of ways, starting with its innovative InfoLine design. Whether they want it to perform in black & white or colour – users will find operating the bizhub C203 pure joy.

■ A newly added and very practical USB direct scan

and direct print functionality lets users bypass

any application software: With the bizhub C203

it is possible to scan paper originals directly on

to a USB stick; likewise printing directly from the

stick is also available. This feature makes it very

easy e.g. to collect information during visits or

meetings, only printing the material if and when

required.

■ Last but not least, the handling of the device is

child’s play, too! Clear indications on the machine

as well as on-screen status messages advise

users when paper trays are empty or consumables

need replenishing. Replacement procedures are

simple and straightforward with every step clearly

explained.

Unique box feature

At the core of the bizhub C203’s comprehensive

communication capabilities is Konica Minolta’s

unique User Box functionality for the truly efficient

storing and managing of information on the internal

hard disc. In the small office this will quickly evolve

into the central hub to archive, distribute and share

information, facilitating the reprinting and sending

of document files for example via eMail or fax.

The PageScope Box Operator allows the direct

accessing and downloading of the stored data

from the PC, while multi-file preview enables fast

searches via thumbnails, helping users find files

quicker and more easily.

Communication needs don’t relate to the size of an office or company. Depending on its nature the smallest busi-ness might need to communicate globally with partners everywhere in the world. The bizhub C203 supports this with multifunctional communication capabilities, including everything required for efficient information processing.

Versatile functionalities

for clever communication

Comprehensive scanning

Today versatile scanning is indispensable for busy

offices, as it streamlines the distribution and

sharing of information. The bizhub C203’s generous

scanning functionality includes scan to eMail,

FTP, SMB and user box; available scan formats are

multi-page PDF or XPS, JPG and TIFF. In addition

Konica Minolta’s unique ultra-compact PDF feature

considerably reduces the size of large files before

transmission – much improving the efficiency of

internal and external communication.

drafts more economic, the bizhub C203 is

equipped with a clever 50% toner-save mode that

much increases cost efficiency.

The bizhub C203 is impressively flexible with a wealth

of modular finishing choices. Its genius finishing

capabilities help increase user creativity and make

the bizhub C203 the perfect device for professional

written communication.

is enhanced with a range of automatic functions –

further supporting efficient communication:

all fully automatic!

impressive fax functionality. This includes Digital Fax

and Digital Store, with a choice of forward as eMail,

save-to-box, save-to-PC. Internet Fax enables

the sending and receipt of fax data as e-mail attach-

ments. IP Fax lets users send faxes in colour to

other bizhub devices on the Intranet. Various security

features make confidential fax communication

reliably safe. And where necessary, a conventional

fax kit option can be connected for the transmission

and receipt of paper originals.

web-based utility streamlines device monitoring.

PageScope Workware

This ideal desktop management software effectively

optimizes the document workflow and boosts the

productivity of any office! With PageScope Workware

it’s easy to convert hard paper originals into electronic

documents, manage all types of documents on the

computer and distribute information electronically.

opening source applications; search files by keywords

with full OCR text search; or search by author, title

or date; and print or send files as eMail attachments

Print Status Notifier

This convenient utility is most appreciated if the

bizhub C203 is installed in a central location. Pop-up

messages on their PC screen keep users informed

of the device status and progress of their job. This

makes unnecessary trips to the printer a thing of the

past. As it’s no longer necessary to keep checking

the output device, users save valuable time and can

concentrate on other, more important tasks.

Reliable security

The bizhub C203’s security functionality ensures the

safety of all user data and confidential information. Its

security features include for example PDF encryption

to prevent the unauthorised tampering with PDF data.

HD encryption makes data storage on the internal

system hard disc secure; and thanks to S/MIME

encryption eMail communication is safer than ever.

With Konica Minolta’s strict security standards the

bizhub C203 adheres to the Common Criteria and is

certified to ISO 15408 EAL3.

Smart and clever sums up the bizhub C203’s many capabilities: In this device Konica Minolta has paired clever communication with smart usability and a lot of valuable extras! Making this the truly smart all-round communication solution for any small office or company!
