Konica Minolta Bizhub C651i overview

The Konica Minolta Bizhub C651i is an A3-class colour multifunction printer in Konica Minolta’s bizhub i-Series. Konica Minolta rates its A4 print and copy output at 65 pages per minute in colour and monochrome. It combines full-colour scanning with two-sided office printing and is designed for shared network use.

Print and copy

The print engine supports resolution up to 1,200 × 1,200 dpi, while copying is specified at 600 × 600 dpi. The manufacturer quotes first output at 2.8 seconds for monochrome and 3.8 seconds for colour. The printer handles common A-series documents as well as SRA3 stock through the supported paper path. Automatic duplex printing covers supported A-series paper.

Paper supply

Two standard 500-sheet cassettes are paired with a 150-sheet bypass tray, giving 1,150 sheets of base input. Additional Konica Minolta feed options can expand total supply to 6,650 sheets. These high-capacity feeders are accessories rather than standard equipment.

Scanning and controls

The specification lists a document-feeder capacity of up to 300 originals for this model. The higher-capacity document system is rated at up to 140 simplex or 280 duplex images per minute with the specified feeder configuration. The colour scanner can prepare files for network destinations using the supported SMB, FTP and SMTP protocols. A 10.1-inch touch panel provides access to copying, scanning and printer settings.

System and connectivity

Standard system hardware includes 8 GB of memory and a 256 GB solid-state drive. Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 provide wired connections, while wireless networking requires the optional Wi-Fi interface. The i-Series includes device security functions; on supported configurations, Konica Minolta also offers optional malware detection. Paper handling, scanning speed and finishing options vary with the accessories fitted to the particular machine.
