We have built a database of a network of bank branches with all the needs of security and recovery/restart. It requires knowledge of obsolete maintenance languages and perhaps it is too rigid in the schemes.

When printing postcards, simply copying, fast and efficient scanning, and printing staple-less booklets and folders. The Konica Minolta bizhub does a great job with any task handed to it, efficiently and quickly.

  • I do not like the beeping sounds made by the printer when a job is done or haunted. Ours is on mute. A new sound effect would be nicer and not so stressful.
  • The velcro strips in the trays are poor quality and can cause the paper to not be fed into the machine.
  • The bypass tray secondary tray that folds out to catch the paper isn't the greatest quality and feels as if it will break or rip off when opening. To close, you do have to slam it.

Essentially, for a question of reliability and scalability, the performance has always been of an enterprise level. The utilities are efficient and effective.

Return on Investment
IBM
  • The investment made about 20 years ago that has been fully repaid
  • Reliability and security of investments
  • Unfortunately, it is quite outdated and therefore maintenance costs are higher because the skills are not always available.

  • All of our staff love the printer. It is easy to use and works efficiently for them compared to previous units.
  • A lot of staff members have easily caught on to how to print things themselves or fix simple issues such as a jam or it is out of ink or paper.
  • A lot of staff members have also figured out to be fluent with the print driver and learn the various features of the printer.
  • We like the easy-to-print Konica Minolta bizhub user log feature to keep track of billing to staff members when printing color sheets of paper.
