Konica Minolta bizhub 40P/40PX Laser Printers: Black and White Never Looked So Good

Printer News: Konica Minolta bizhub 40P/40PX Believes Printers Should Be Used, Not Heard

Americans love buffet-style restaurants because they provide enough variety to please the pickiest palates and because they offer seconds (and thirds and fourths). Konica Minolta's new bizhub 40P/40PX laser printers provide the same quantity and flexibility for workgroups and medium-sized offices, without the post-buffet stomach ache.

The Konica Minolta bizhub 40P/40PX models print black-and-white documents at 45 pages per minute. At that speed, you might expect a noisy printer, but Konica Minolta claims that it's an extremely quiet printer that won't interfere with phone conversations.

IT departments will welcome the printer's networking capabilities, compatibility with Windows, Linux, and Macintosh computers, and security features (including password-protected print jobs).

The bizhub 40PX offers enhanced features, such as standard auto-duplex printing (optional feature for the bizhub 40P), 256 MB memory (double that of the bizhub 40P), and a three-year warranty as opposed to the bizhub 40P's one-year warranty.

Summary

Fast laser printer best for workgroups and small businesses that print lots of monochrome documents.

MSRP: $1,399 (40P), $1,899 (40PX)
