For in-house, on-demand output that keeps ahead of your business and professional needs, the bizhub C554e prints and copies in both color and B&W at up to 55 ppm – the bizhub C454e at up to 45 ppm. Both models have standard single-pass dual scanning at up to 160
originals per minute, making them ideal on-ramps for hard-copy business information as well as client, student and patient records.

Distributed Scan compatibility with Windows servers lets you automate the scanning process by sending documents directly to a “Scan Server” set up to follow your instructions – another bizhub enhancement to speed your workflow. 

You can scan to email, FTP, SMB and perform TWAIN scanning using simple command icons on your bizhub touch-screen panel. Scan-to-Me and Scan-to-Home capabilities let you move documents quickly to secure locations. You can also scan directly to convenient User Boxes for individuals, departments, workgroups and projects. Scan to PowerPoint, Word and Excel lets you convert hard-copy documents to highly verstile Office Open XML files easily and automatically. Scan to PDF/A and Linearized PDF capabilities optimize documents for display or archiving. Real-time preview of scanned images helps you save time by avoiding mistakes – and blank page removal during scanning eliminates wasted paper.

The bizhub C554e and C454e also give you control panel access to powerful, downloadable apps* to enhance your productivity, including a PageScope Mobile app that allows you to print or scan documents on the go from multiple mobile platforms – an important advantage
for medical, legal and educational professionals who work from widely separated workplaces or collaborate from home.

With our latest evolution of INFO-Palette design, the bizhub C554e and C454e combine compact footprint, sleek dark cabinet design, and a flow of white LED lamps to illuminate device status at a glance while you print.

In fact, there’s never been such a powerful office MFP that’s also so easy to operate. Both models feature a 9” color screen with intuitive multi-touch functionality that’s as easy to operate as familiar tablet PCs. You can swipe, drag & drop, tap & toggle, switch easily between map
scroll and tab screen menus to control printing, copying, scanning and other functions. A quick flick of your finger across the screen brings you to the menu you want. Function screens put both standard and custom settings at your fingertips.

Enhanced screen resolution is a big advantage in previewing your documents before you print. New preview screen capabilities include pinch-in & pinch-out to enlarge or reduce image size and image rotation operations for smooth confirmation of document details. Long tap
displays the next set of operating menus. Transparent menus let you see through to a lower level, so you always know where you are. You can simply touch a file stored in a User Box, drag it and release it in the print, send or edit
processing area.

Your enhanced control panel has soft keys that can be called up and displayed in any screen position. An optional10-Key Pad provides hard keys to make numerical entry quick and sure. The control panel tilts and adjusts from
23° to 55° for accessibility from any position for Section 508 compliance. Orange, blue and white LEDs are easier to see for the vision-impaired – and new reaction sounds
give operators sound queues to verify that functions have been completed, commands deleted or authentication accepted. There’s even an optional Voice Guidance system
to provide audible control instructions.

Another essential Konica Minolta innovation is Simitri® HD toner: the exclusive polymerized toner formulation that creates spectacular color images with improved fine detail and more legible text. For over a decade, Simitri
toner has also used plant-based biomass material to reduce environmental impact.

With energy-saving standby mode and an Optimize Power Consumption mode that automatically sets correct on/off/standby status for workdays, weekends and holidays, both bizhub models consume less power. The control panel features an Eco-indicator screen that
allows you to monitor paper, toner and energy usage by device, account or end-user. Energy-efficient LED lamps reduce energy consumption during scanning. And thanks to one-watt power consumption in sleep mode, your bizhub isn’t burning your budget when not in use.

And to protect the planet for future generations, our Eco Vision 2050 project is committed to reducing CO2 emissions by 80% over 2005 levels – minimizing greenhouse gases that may contribute to global warming.
Our Clean Planet program even provides cost-free recycling for all Konica Minolta consumables, including toner cartridges and bottles, imaging units, developer and drums. We provide prepaid shipping labels and cost-free packaging to make the recycling process hassle-free.

In recognition for our economic, environmental
and social performance, Konica Minolta has recently been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index – and we’ve also won
a Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations award from Global Knights, the magazine for clean capitalism.

The bizhub C554e/C454e are built for speed – and built-in print control makes you more productive right from the start. You’ll have robust design for reliable high-volume printing at up to 200,000 pages per month, with pro-quality inline finishing options for saddle-stitching, tri-folding, stapling, hole-punching and more. You can customize a right-size solution that grows with your business – and take advantage
of the latest print utilities and cloud services to upload and access documents from any location.

The powerful Emperon® print system gives your bizhub
C554e and C454e full print/copy/scan performance
right from the start, with universal print driver, PCL6/PS3
emulation and native XPS functionality. Robust design
and monthly duty cycle up to 200,000 pages provide
reliable power for high-volume needs, with high-speed
internal processing to reduce RIP time and keep color
jobs moving when you’re working on tight deadlines.

You’ll have Auto Trapping and Black Overprint capabilities
as well as a more versatile ICC profile for specialized or
detailed color settings. Sophisticated color conversion
imaging enhances your color printing and scanning – and
a scanner with enhanced dynamic range captures vivid
dark colors and accurate light greens.

Support for Microsoft Office Open XML lets you perform fast drag-anddrop printing of the latest Microsoft
Office files, including docx, xlsx, and pptx. Using downloadable apps, you can take advantage of Cloud storage services such as Google, SharePoint and Office 365. A convenient USB port on each bizhub lets you print and save documents to/from flash memory devices. A standard 250 GB hard disk drive provides on-board storage for electronic documents as well as quick redistribution or reprinting of jobs you’ve already scanned or printed.

Enhanced paper capacity of up to 6,650 sheets is
another big advantage for high-volume applications,
enabling you to work longer with less reloading. Along
with 500-sheet universal paper drawers, you can add
2,500-sheet or 3,000-sheet Large Capacity Units. The
bizhub C554e and C454e both accept a wide range of
media, from thin 14 lb. bond paper (52 gsm) to thick
100 lb. cover stock (300 gsm) –- in sizes up to 12" x 18", preserving margins and crop-marks on 2-page spreads or oversized charts and graphs.

You’ll have standard duplexing at full rated engine speed
to save paper by printing 2-sided originals. Both models
let you print tabbed pages from the multiple bypass tray
and insert tabs into healthcare records, legal case files,
student information binders, human resource packets or
tabbed documents. And Watermark mode lets you apply
transparent marks to print/copy output to identify or
restrict access to documents.

Proof Copy/Print allows you to run off a test page to
check your settings before starting your entire print
run. Carbon Copy printing saves time by outputting the
same data continuously from multiple paper trays in
different paper weights or colors – for example, white
for immediate distribution, yellow for forwarding, green
for filing.

All these pro-quality production features make the bizhub C554e or C454e an ideal solution for in-house color printing that saves time and money while keeping control of sensitive information, including business plans, legal documents, financial information and student or patient records.

With modular, scalable inline finishing options, the bizhub
C554e and C454e make things easy by eliminating the
need for costly outsourcing or tedious hand-finishing –
giving you the power to produce color and B&W reports,
presentations, case files, newsletters, records and
marketing or training materials in a seamless process
that saves time and money

Both the bizhub C554e and C454e accept a compact
FS-534 Staple Finisher that perform 50-sheet 3-position
stapling, with an add-on SD-511 Saddle Stitcher Kit to

and a PK-520 Punch Kit for 2/3-hole punching. Crisp
creases in booklets and tri-fold sheets improve the look
of your finished product. The bizhub C554e also accepts
the powerful FS-535 100-sheet Staple Finisher with
Z-fold support option. The PI-505 Post Inserter option
provides cover insert sheet capability.

The JS-506 Job Separator Tray option helps you sort
prints, copies or faxes more easily without increasing
your compact MFP footprint. There’s even an ultracompact FS-533 Internal Finisher for corner or 2-position
stapling in applications that don’t require pro-quality
auto-finishing. With all these modular options, you can
easily build a system that serves your needs today – and
grows with your business tomorrow.

For greater production power, Konica Minolta gives you all the options
– including a powerful Fiery Image Controller for graphic-intensive
applications and a Super G3 high-speed fax with multi-line options. You’ll
have seamless integration with standard 3rd-party software, control-panel access to downloadable apps* that improve your productivity, and system enhancements for document management, variable-data mailing, account tracking, cost recovery – even industry-standard programs for healthcare, education, legal and other specialized applications.

Our evolutionary bizhub C554e and C454e incorporate
a wide array of extended functions – including direct access to downloadable apps from the bizhub MarketPlace.* These apps, specifically designed for use on our MFPs, allow you to display corporate announcements on your control panel, access a library of business forms and templates, check on the status of your MFP’s security settings, scan to Microsoft SharePoint, order Clean Planet recycling boxes, print Clean Planet shipping labels and much more – all without ever leaving the MFP.

Along with downloadable productivity apps and scalable

Powerful print queue management capabilities keep jobs moving even at times of peak demand – and Fiery Graphic Arts Options include Auto Trapping, Hot Folder printing with embedded job ticket settings, job setup with finishing options and imposition attributes for drag-and-drop printing.

An optional Color Profiler Suite allows you to create
customized ICC profiles with CMYK devices. Standard
Fiery VUE software orchestrates all these elements into a
professional solution for high-impact results – speeding
your color workflow and giving you the ability to fine-tune
color output to suit the needs of any graphics project.

Security isn’t an option – it’s a necessity, especially for
specialized legal, educational and healthcare applications
that must comply with JSOX, FERPA, HIPAA and other
government requirements for the protection of sensitive
client, student and patient information.

Both the bizhub C554e and C454e include the enhanced
security protections your business demands. With bizhub
SECURE, your service provider can initiate a powerful
array of lock-down protections that guard your bizhub
from unauthorized operation. You can initiate encrypted
PDF workflow to protect information passing from PCs
to networked bizhub devices. IP filtering registers IP
addresses of the PCs on your network.

All models are currently in evaluation to meet strict ISO
15408 security standards – and all accept a wide array
of advanced security options to fit the needs of any
application, including Biometric Authentication for quick
“ID and print” operation, input for HID Proximity Cards,
iClass Cards and Magnetic Stripe Cards, CAC/PIV Card
support (available summer 2013), even an optional builtin IC card reader. An optional Copy Guard system can
require password access to make copies. HDD Lock can
apply password protection to your bizhub hard disk drive

For environments that demand the highest level of
security, the bizhub C554e and C454e also comply
with the higher level IEEE 2600.1 international standard
for MFP and printer information security. To protect
information once stored on your bizhub hard disk drive,
their Job Erase function automatically overwrites your
HDD up to three times – meeting the criteria of DoD
55220.22-M (Department of Defense) and NAVSO
P-5239-26 (US Navy). And when your bizhub is
reassigned to another location or removed from service,
HDD Sanitizing can overwrite data in eight different modes
so no sensitive information is compromised.

Hardware and software, working together – that’s a key
advantage of Konica Minolta’s bizhub Extended Software
Technology (bEST). Your bizhub control panel can give
you direct access to commands for standard business
software as well as specialized document handling
capabilities for legal, educational and healthcare
applications.

Konica Minolta’s own PageScope Enterprise Suite
provides a powerful set of bizhub productivity tools
for server-based authentication and account tracking
– including a MyPanel Manager utility to customize
the interface that appears at each bizhub MFP and
disappears when users log out.

PageScope software utilities do even more. PageScope
Web Connection gives each bizhub its own internal
website for fast access to device status information.
PageScope Net Care Device Manager provides fast, simple
IT management of multiple devices from a single point.
PageScope Print Status Notifier provides automatic alerts
to speed your workflow. PageScope Data Administrator™
handles addresses, passwords, and accounts with ease
– and PageScope Box Operator lets you download and
access scanned User Box data from your PC.
