The bizhub C364/C284/C224 Series features the newest generation of Konica Minolta’s exclusive Simitri HD toner formulation that uses biomass plant- based materials to reduce environmental impact and fuses to paper at lower temperatures to reduce power consumption. All three models consume less power, among one of the lowest power consumption rates in their class, and lower than the standards specified by Energy Star certification. Energy-saving modes include an Optimize Power Consumption mode that automatically sets correct on/off/standby status for workdays, weekends and holidays.

The control panel also includes an Eco-indicator screen that allows paper, toner and energy monitoring by device, account or end-user. Energy-efficient LED lamps allow low-cost scanning and extensive use of recycled materials in construction give these new bizhub models an even smaller environmental footprint.
