Konica Minolta Bizhub C251i Photocopier overview

The Konica Minolta Bizhub C251i Photocopier is an A3-class colour multifunction printer in Konica Minolta’s bizhub i-Series. Konica Minolta rates its A4 print and copy output at 25 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 5.2 seconds for monochrome and 6.9 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 100 originals for this model. With the DF-714 feeder option, the specifications list duplex capture at up to 200 images per minute; the rate depends on the feeder installed. 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.
