Q: I am tech leader at the business I work at and we just had a meeting with a salesperson about a new all-in-one printer, copier, scanner from Konica Minolta. I am looking for positive and/or negative reviews on it. I googled it but didn't find anything bad, so I figured I would post it up.
A: Damn good machines. Depens what options you take on it though. I know a load of companies round our way use them, and they are great. Add the finisher with "saddle sticher" ( I think it's called) and it can make booklets too. The copies are good quality. The scan to email function is a godsend. From what they tell me the toners etc are a doddle to change and the machines rarely go wrong. Only thing is think about capacity, is 20ppm enough for you, or would the slightly larger 253 or 353 at 25 and 35 pages/min be more suitable in the long run ? Depending on number of people using it I'd go for it, with a finisher and the full options on that, saddle stitch to do booklets and punching. Note to OOhch1k : If you lok on the control panel, lower left corner, there's an "options" button (can't recall exact name) and you can go in and turn off the keypress beeps, and the job completed beeps etc etc etc, only leave on the error beeps, and set anything other than "serious error" to "LOW" I do it for all the ones I end up working near
