bizhub – IT’S TRULY COMPATIBLE.

Today’s multifunctional devices are equipped with more features and functionsthan ever before. They’re designed for comprehensive integration into the PCand network environment. They offer virtually unlimited communication capabilities.But multifunctionality requires increased levels of network administration anduser support – and in many cases, complex commands and automated routinesmake tasks more difficult and time-consuming than they should be.

That’s why most IT managers and network administrators are inundated withjobs that end-users can rarely accomplish on their own – either because theydon’t know how, or because the system structure doesn’t let them.Administrators must often spend too much time administrating individual deviceswithin the company network, repeating the same configuration procedures overand over again. That leaves them with less time for the work they should be doing.

Konica Minolta has addressed this problem in the new generation of bizhubmultifunctional devices. Our innovative bizhub approach incorporates a broadarray of technology features and software solutions to facilitate, improveand automate network integration and administration – and make life easier forIT professionals.

ADMINISTRATION? SIMPLE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD.

When your company enters the bizhub era, the administration, management andmonitoring of multifunctional-networked devices are no longer time-consumingtasks. The PageScope software suite makes everything simple and straightforward –system administration, device set-up and configuration, even centralized printjob control. To insure the complete independence of specific operating systemsand easier access to individual applications, PageScope Web Connection interactswith standard Internet browsers. And any bizhub within the network can bemonitored and administrated from any PC.

PAGESCOPE: THE SECRET OF SMOOTH NETWORK ADMINISTRATION.

PAGESCOPE NET CARE

Communicating with networked systems via SNMP, PageScope Net Careprovides status monitoring and convenient readout of machine data such asprint and copy counters. Any hitch in machine performance, and you’ll receivean automatic Email report. PageScope Net Care can be independently accessedvia your standard web browser – and all data can be statistically analyzed forboth color and B&W output.

PageScope Net Care is also a powerful Fleet Management and Helpdesk utility.This efficient tool for the administration and monitoring of networked MFPsacquires all counter information that the MIB will provide – including Color,B&W, Copy, Print, and Scan. It supports Konica Minolta MFP/Printers, as well asMIB-compliant devices from other manufacturers – making it a perfect choiceto aid in Fleet Management.

In order to reduce the burden on your helpdesk, PageScope Net Care can sendEmail notification to designated Admin’s. The notification can send informationabout a paper misfeed, low toner, and recovery notices, just to name a few.

PAGESCOPE ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT PLUG-INS

Should a different monitoring platform be already in use within your company,PageScope Enterprise Management System plug-ins still insure compatibility –with an EMS Plug-In such as CA Unicenter or Tivoli NetView.

PAGESCOPE NDPS GATEWAY

PageScope NPDS (Novell Distributed Print Services) Gateway insures thatKonica Minolta devices will operate seamlessly within high-volume Netwareenvironments. You’ll have powerful print management via the NDPS administrativeinterface, bi-directional feedback and control, automatic pop-up or Emailnotification of error messages, and more – all the productivity advantages ofyour NDPS network.

SENSITIVE DATA? IT’S SAFE WITH BIZHUB.

With Konica Minolta multifunctional devices, your confidential data remains confidential. Our MFPs are equipped with special security features designed toprotect network data. They limit network access to authorized persons only –and secure data output prevents documents from falling into the wrong hands.

To date, many bizhub multifunctional systems are validated by Common Criteriathat meet the latest ISO 15408 security standards. Common Criteria is the internationally recognized standard for IT security testing (ISO 15408). Copiers,printers and software with this certification are security evaluated, guaranteeing the highest level of data security available today.

Why is this important? Because it enables IT Professionals to evaluate all productsusing the same criteria. When evaluating security amongst various manufacturers,the IT Manager must also ask how a system is certified and at what EAL level.Konica Minolta products are certified at EAL3.

Konica Minolta’s products are ISO 15408 certified as a system. Other vendorsmay only have certified Options.

For Konica Minolta, the Target of Evaluation (TOE) is for the total system. Beforeapplying for ISO 15408 certification, we work with a third-party security consultant.Our systems are strictly evaluated and checked for any vulnerability or weakness,including (but not limited to):

_ Attack via network_ Attack via phone line_ Attack via HDD/RAM removal from machine

If any weakness is found, it is fixed. This ensures that at the time of application,the system is 100% secure.

KONICA MINOLTA SECURITY FEATURES.

User authentication insures that only registered users can transmit informationon the network. And with support for Windows Active Directory, NT 4.0 Domain,as well as Netware NDS, scanning access is granted only to the user name thathas been authenticated.

IP filtering enables the network administrator to limit the access of specificdevices to the address groups of authorized users. This highly effective firewallprevents all but authorized access to the device on the network.

Log files compile a list of users, times and actions involving your data. All MFPoperations are logged, providing an easy means of tracking user access.

SSL encryption is available for the web interface to secure communication overthe Internet to the device. The web interface can also be rendered completelyinoperative, making any communication over http impossible.

To insure that unauthorized persons cannot see a printed document before it isretrieved from the output tray, a secure printing feature can be activated – soprintout is only generated after the correct PIN code is entered directly at the device.

HDD and RAM Security are also built into bizhub products to insure that datacannot be accessed. An added benefit of Konica Minolta’s HDD Security is thatthe System Administrator can turn each function OFF or ON individually, allowinga customized security scheme for your Company.

External Server Authentication (Active Directory, NDS, NTLM V.1, NTLM V.2).

Support for up to 20 Domains for Active Directory Authentication.

Function Permission by User (Copy, Print, Scan, Fax, User Box).

Output Permission by User or Account (Color, B&W).

Print without Authentication – this can be selected if you wish to only requireauthentication for walk-up copying.

Public User Access – by setting this, you can allow B&W walk-up copying topublic users and restrict Color walk-up copying.

SMTP Authentication can add another layer of security, and has the benefit ofgiving mobile users who switch hosts the ability to use the same mail serverwithout the need to reconfigure their mail client settings each time.

HDD Encryption by AES (128-bit) – data can be encrypted by the AdvancedEncryption Standard (AES) with the optional SC-503 HDD Encryption Kit. Onceencrypted, data cannot be read even if the HDD is removed from the machine.

HDD Lock Function – the HDD can be locked with a password. If removed andinstalled on a PC or different machine, the data cannot be read, thus data storedon the HDD is protected from unauthorized use.

HDD Sanitizing using Government and Military Standards – eight overwritingmethods are available.

Job Erase – overwrites the HDD when job is printed or data is deleted from theUser Box, with the ability to meet US Navy, DoD, and US Air Force standards.

Scan Encryption (PDF) uses an Encryption Key to encrypt – and the receiverof the scan must know the decryption code to open the file. Encryption selectionis only available when PDF is selected as file type, and it encrypts both standardand compact PDF’s. An added benefit is that Scan Encryption supports variouslevels of access that mirror the standard Adobe Acrobat security settings.

Secure Port Management, ports can be opened and closed from the MFPpanel, PageScope Web Connection, or PageScope Net Care.

When User Authentication is turned on, the MFP can be set up so that theEmail “FROM:” address for Scan-to-Email will be the Email address of the LoginUser. The “FROM:” address can be set so it cannot be changed as well.

Manual Destination input can be restricted so that scanned documents canonly be sent to pre-registered “One-Touch’s.”


FEATURES & TOOLS FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE.

At Konica Minolta, our aim in developing the bizhub range of multifunctionalproducts was to simplify and streamline end-user operation and to improveconvenience for user and administrator alike. This is why, for example, driverinterfaces are common on all new-generation bizhub devices.

Printer drivers are intuitive and bi-directional, allowing the sharing of settings.Special software tools make everyday duties simple and straightforward,including the reading of counters as well as the configuration and managementof networked systems.

BENEFITS FOR EVERYONE: KONICA MINOLTA USER SOFTWARE

The Emperon Print System offers an intuitive PCL6 driver and a PostScript driver.The full functionality of the bizhub MFPs is available via an easy-to-understandgraphical user interface that is standard on both printer drivers. Print settingoptions are crystal-clear and designed to minimize setup mistakes. The “EasySet” option further facilitates end-user operation, allowing the administrator tospecify defaults for certain print jobs – such as specific color settings or bookletfinishing procedures. “Easy Set” can then be shared via the network, so it canbe available for selection in the printer driver for each user.

PageScope Web Connection provides users and administrators with directaccess to bizhub multifunctional devices. The application is accessed via theweb browser (using the IP or DNS name), but runs independently on the bizhubsystem. PageScope Web Connection enables users to check device status, takecounter readings, create scan and fax targets, and call up scanned data.


PageScope Web Connection provides extensive administration functionality forthe configuration and management of networked MFPs, including direct accessto the “user boxes” of all users so passwords can be changed or deleted.

_ On bizhub MFPs with fax capability, the PC fax feature is managed directly via the printer driver, including the address book and fax cover function.

_ As scanning is an increasingly important communication feature in today’s office, the bizhub MFPs provide varied scanning capabilities. With Scan-to-Email, Scan-to-FTP, Scan-to-SMB and Scan-to-User Box, a wide choice of scan targets are made available – and a comprehensiverange of software utilities supports scanning functionality and adapts to individual requirements of different environments and user installations.

_ Twain Scan is available for scanning data directly into graphic applications._ Twain HDD Scan allows the uploading of scanned data directly from

individuals’ User Boxes._ PageScope Box Operator software provides direct access to User Boxes

via the graphical user interface – and allows access to thumbnail previewscanned documents that are stored in the User Boxes and drag-and dropped to your desktop or saved in your HDD.

_ And PageScope Web Connection provides access to User Boxes via the web browser.

Depending on their content, scanned files can be extensive – and a real burdento network traffic. To solve this problem and minimize network traffic, KonicaMinolta has developed a special Compact PDF format that reduces the volumeof an already compressed PDF even further.

Throughout the range of new bizhub multifunctional devices, Konica Minolta hasimplemented extensive administrator and end-user support. But the possibilitiesof bizhub do not end there.
