Scan and Send Features Do more with your scan data. Scan to E-Mail Scan to FTP Scan to SMB PC Mail server Network PC Mail server FTP server FTP server Network PC Mail PDF TIFF PDF TIFF Scanning Speed Scan documents at a speed of 50 opm at 600 dpi or 70 opm at 400, 300 or 200 dpi. Using dedicated hardware for PDF and TIFF conversion, other scanning functions can be processed simultaneously without a loss in performance. HDD Scan Scan to HDD Document Scan to Box With the optional 40GB Hard Disk HD-505 installed, the bizhub 500 becomes a warehouse for important data. Files can be placed in up to 1,000 password-protected Boxes divided by project, workgroup, user, etc. Scan to E-mail Send scan data directly from the control panel to any e-mail address in the world. Files are sent as attachments in either PDF or TIFF format. Scan to FTP FTP servers make distributing large files easy, and the bizhub 500 streamlines the entire process. Documents can be scanned to a designated directory where users may access and download them when needed. Scan to SMB Scan to SMB lets you forward scan data directly to a sharing folder on a network PC. Even without a central server, this is a fast way to share documents within your office. Universal Send Universal Send eliminates redundancy and saves time by sending data to both fax and e-mail destinations in a single operation. A copy of the scan data is also saved to a box in the HDD for future use. Scan to Multi-send After scanning a document, you can forward data to multiple destinations (a Box *, SMB, e-mail, FTP) simultaneously. This reduces the number of steps involved in communicating with numerous contacts. *Requires the optional HD-505. 06
Fax Functions Share your ideas with the world. (Requires the optional Fax Kit FK-502) Super G3 Fax The G3 fax protocol is the global standard for transmission and reception over a telephone line.

PageScope Box Operator Working through a browser, PageScope Box Operator enables thumbnail previewing of multiple documents stored in Boxes at a glance before printing. File names can be changed or deleted directly from a connected PC. Register a printer or e-mail address in the launcher and then simply drag and drop to print or send. Security Protect your data from falling into the wrong hands. User Authentication For increased security, customized access privileges can be set for each user, granting or limiting access to particular functions (copy / scan / print), or setting page input and output limits for each user. Access can also be limited to only particular servers, which can be selected to suit office needs. HDD Encryption In Development With the optional Security Kit SC-502, scan and print data can be stored on the hard drive in a unique compression format that makes eavesdropping very difficult for unauthorized users. Even if data is maliciously extracted, it is highly unlikely that the content can be deciphered. HDD Data Erase To ensure that no data is removed from your discarded bizhub 500, the hard drive can be completely overwritten with 0 s before disposal. Data Erase HDD Data Erase Example settings User 1 Scanning Prohibited User 2 Copying Prohibited HDD Password Lock The HDD can be assigned a password, preventing unauthorized users from accessing HDD data. This protects the data from being viewed or altered, even if the HDD is removed from the main unit. ISO 15408 EAL3 Certification The bizhub 500 is undergoing certification for compliance with level 3 (EAL3) of ISO15408, a strict set of international standards used to test a device s level of IT security. 09
High Performance Seamless workflow for next-generation offices Speed, versatility and output quality spell the difference between producing good documents and producing great documents. See the difference with the cutting-edge bizhub 500. Steering the high level of performance is the Emperon Print System, combining flexibility with intuitive operation to accelerate every step of the printing process. Main Unit Productivity Streamline office workflow. High Speed Boasting a copy / print speed of 50 cpm / ppm and 50 opm scanning at 600 dpi, the bizhub 500 makes fast work of even large-volume jobs. And with 100% duplexing productivity, you can copy or print 2-sided documents at the same speedy 50 cpm / ppm. Multi Tasking Copying Faxing Scanning Printing bizhub OP Parallel Processing Print data given priority Multi Access Processing Parallel processing of copy, fax, scan and print jobs significantly reduces the time required for data processing. Queued print data can be given top priority, interrupting the current print job to be output immediately. Fast Startup and Output A warm-up time of less than 60 seconds and a first copy output time of 3.2 seconds means that right from your first print of the day, there s no need to waste time waiting for documents. Job Completion Notification Instead of wasting time while waiting for a job to finish, the bizhub 500 offers you the option of being notified by mail when any job is complete. This function keeps users informed with minimal effort. Job 1 Job 2 Image Quality Stunning output is critical to success. A4 size A3 size No paper Output first JOB 1 JOB 2 JOB 3 JOB 4 JOB 5 Wait time without Multi-Job Time saved Wait time with Multi-Job JOB 1 JOB 2JOB 3 Input JOB 4 Output JOB 5 Up to 94 jobs Auto Job Skip In Development If a queued job is unable to print immediately, (when there is no paper of the correct size in the tray, for example) the next job in the queue is automatically given priority and output first. Time spent waiting for important documents is reduced and office workflow continues without interruption. Multi-Job Function While an active job is being processed or output, the Multi-Job Function allows you to queue up to 94 other print or scan jobs to reduce waiting time. High Resolution Output Copy data is output at 1200 dpi x 600 dpi with smoothing, providing faithful reproduction of originals. For print data, digital smoothing raises resolution to 2400 dpi x 600 dpi, allowing clear, sharp reproduction of fine details and small text. Simitri Toner Polymerized Simitri toner is composed of smaller, more uniformly sized particles than conventional pulverized toner, resulting in output with sharper text and finer gradations. This toner is fixed at a low temperature, which reduces energy costs and paper curling. Pulverized toner Simitri Toner Smaller uniform particles for better print quality Pigment Wax 10
Ecology and Environment Advanced ideas for the future Konica Minolta considers the quality of your office environment to be just as important as the well being of the global environment. This commitment makes the bizhub 500 a smart choice for companies seeking to reduce costs while enjoying the benefits of MFP performance. Energy Conservation Along with reducing paper curling, low temperature fixing also uses less energy than conventional fixing. Additionally, Low Power Mode and Sleep Mode significantly reduce the amount of energy consumed by the bizhub 500. The result is better environmental performance for lower energy costs. Energy Star The bizhub 500 conforms to the International Energy Star Program s stringent guidelines for reduced energy consumption and improved efficiency. RoHS Compliance RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) prohibits certain harmful substances from being used during the production of electrical and electronic components. Konica Minolta will comply with RoHS guidelines before the EU deadline by refraining from the use of materials including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB and PBDE. WEEE Compliance The bizhub 500 will be fully compliant with WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) regulations Konica Minolta ensures that all parts and components are properly disposed of or recycled. Eco-friendly Toner Polymerized toner consumes less energy and produces up to 40% less CO 2, NOx, and SOx emissions than pulverized toner, while the low fixing temperature allows the bizhub 500 to use less energy when operating. Universal Design Now your entire office is empowered Maximizing workflow goes beyond high-speed specifications. When every user in your office is empowered to work their best, the result is improved efficiency, higher morale and better productivity.
