Pick this if...
- You run a workgroup of 15-30 people that needs A3 (11x17) B&W output but does color scanning to keep contracts and intake forms moving.
- You print 3,000-10,000 pages a month, comfortably under the 100,000 monthly duty rating.
- You want the 9-inch multi-touch panel — swipe, pinch-zoom, drag-and-drop. Operators trained on phones get it in a day.
- You scan a lot of stacked originals and want the optional DF-701 dual-scan ADF for 160 originals per minute, single-pass.
- You're standardizing on Konica Minolta and want a B&W A3 that shares parts, drivers, and i-Option licenses with the C284e color sibling.
