Product Overview
Konica Minolta’s i-Series line of devices use Internet of Things (IoT) technology to streamline workflows and foster collaboration in a mobile workforce. The devices serve as a smart technology hub that combines all workflows into one place.
The i-Series boasts a 10.1″ customizable touchscreen panel with an interface that works like a mobile device. Users can customize the interface with apps from Konica Minolta Marketplace. The devices also integrate with Workplace Hub, an all-in-one IT solution.
The i-Series line also includes upgraded security features that are compliant with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other security standards. With the bizhub SECURE service, Konica Minolta tailors security settings and features to a company’s unique needs, such as a Solid State Drive (SSD) encryption and locked passwords.
The bizhub 360i Series joins the i-Series as A3 (11″ x 17″) black-and-white MFPs. They consist of two devices that offer standard printing, copying, scanning and optional faxing. The bizhub 360i ($10,411.07) prints and copies at up to 36 ppm. It has a first-copy-time of 4.6 seconds and a maximum monthly print volume of 175,000 pages. The other model is the bizhub 300i ($8,579.07), which prints and copies at up to 30 ppm.
Both devices include a quad-core CPU processor, 8 GB of memory and 256 GB SSD. PostScript and PCL printing languages are supported. USB and Ethernet are standard, while wireless connectivity is optional. Mobile printing is supported for free via the Konica Minolta Mobile Print app as well as AirPrint, Mopria and Google Cloud Print, but the Google Cloud Print app needs to be downloaded via the Konica Minolta Marketplace.

Konica Minolta continues to bring innovative features that help the workplace collaborate better and improve productivity. The bizhub 360i Series brings robust features, such as fast engine speed, flexible paper-handling and a customizable touchscreen interface.
Features
Paper handling: Paper handling starts with two 500-sheet paper trays and a 150-sheet bypass. There are additional paper options, such as a 500-sheet tray, a dual 500-sheet tray set (letter-size only), a 2,500-sheet large-capacity tray, and a 3,000-sheet large-capacity tray. The maximum paper capacity is 6,650 sheets.
There are two optional document feeders that both have 100-sheet capacity. One is a reversing document feeder and the other is a dual-scan document feeder (scans both sides of a page in a single pass). The dual-scan feeder scans up to 200 ipm. It also comes standard with a multi-feed mechanism that detects whenever more than one sheet goes through the document feeder. It then stops the unit and gives panel guidance to fix the issue. The maximum paper size is 11″ x 17″ and duplexing is standard.
There’s a standard 250-sheet output tray. There are also a few finishing options. First, there’s a 50-sheet multiposition inner staple finisher with an optional 2/3-hole punch. Second, there’s another finisher with 50-sheet multiposition stapling, however, it has a capacity of 3,200 sheets. Third, there’s a booklet finisher that saddle stitches up to 20 booklets. The manual stapler is built into the floor finishers. Finally, there’s a job separator.
MFP functions: There’s a user box that allows users to store scanned documents on the SSD. Users can create up to 1,000 user boxes that hold up to 3,000 documents total. The scanning function supports scan to email, USB, user box, FTP, SMB, URL and WebDav. LDAP is also supported. Output file formats include JPEG, TIFF, PDF, compact PDF and XPS, to name a few.
The optional faxing uses a 33.6 kbps modem with JBIG compression. Color fax, IP fax and PC fax are standard.
Security features: Standard security features include user authentication, IP filtering, SSD data encryption and secure print, to name a few. Konica Minolta offers optional copy protection features as well as Bitdefender anti-virus solution.

Shortcomings
The automatic document feeders are only available as an option and not as a standard feature. However, Konica Minolta offers the flexibility of choosing the type of feeder whether it’s a RADF, dual-scan or cover.
