Konica Minolta announced the new bizhub 200 MFP, comprising a printer/copier/scanner/fax. The bizhub 200 claims print/copy speeds of 20ppm letter size portrait mode, and max monthly duty cycle of 60,000 - quite sufficient for a small business.

The bizhub 200 is built around Konica Minolta's Emperon Print System featuring Scan to FTP, Scan to SMB, Scan to E-mail and Internet faxing. Optional Super G3 analog FAX capabilities are included as well. Most of the other features are similar to the bizhub 350 and bizhub 250 MFPs.

Optional fax capabilities include 33.6Kbps Super G3 analog FAX, with 32 MB of memory. You can transmit B&W documents up to 11" x 17" size with JBIG compression. The max resolution is 600x600 fax TX resolution.

The bundled PageScope Net Care allows you to get detailed info about the operating conditions of your devices from a web browser. The NDPS Gateway software allows seamless connection to Novell Distributed Print Services.

Priced at US $4,800, more info about the Konica Minolta bizhub 200 MFP is available from Konica Minolta's website.
