Re: Konica Minolta Reinvents Office Print Technology with New IoT-Enabled bizhub® i-Series
This new copier line is one of the first to introduce a SSD 256 GB HDD as a standard feature.

Maybe in the Konica Minolta new design there is the option to...

According to BLI, the First Copy Out times on the new series are up to 15% faster compared to their immediate predecessor models. These could be as much do to the 8 GB RAM and the Quad core processor as the SSD by itself. Many of the new features...
