While many manufacturers cater to small office users with compact printers, Konica Minolta tends to focus on high-volume machines that can handle a large number of users.  The Konica Minolta bizhub C200 is no exception.  It is a color laser printer that has the fast speeds that a busy office needs along with the multifunction features that allow it to replace multiple pieces of equipment with one efficient and easy-to-maintain machine.

The Minolta C200 can print, scan, copy and fax.  It is more compact than many of Konica’s high-volume machines, and it starts out a bit smaller on capacity, at only 250 sheets in its single tray.  It offers a wide range of upgrade options, however, so buyers can tailor it to their specific needs.  Memory can be expanded from the initial 576 MB to a maximum of 1,088 MB.  Ethernet networking support is a standard feature.  Printing resolution is 600 dpi for sharp print quality.

The scanning function is particularly well-designed, and gives users many options for destinations.  Users can send scans to email, FTP or a location on the network.  All of these options are easily accessed from the control panel for added convenience.  Copying supports up to 999 copies at a time and reduction and enlargement from 25% to 400% in .1% increments.

Minolta C200 toner cartridges are very affordable.  The large capacity of bizhub C200 toner cartridges also gives users a very low cost per page.  Users can keep costs even lower by using third-party compatible Konica C200 toner instead of the more expensive OEM versions.

Its price is not cheap, but buyers who need an expandable printer that can support a high-volume office environment will likely find the Konica Minolta bizhub C200 to be an excellent value.  The low cost of bizhub C200 toner will save money, and replacing multiple machines is a more efficient use of space and resources.
