Pick this if...
- You run a workgroup of 20-40 people that needs A3 (11x17) B&W output, color scanning, and headroom — this is rated to 200,000 pages/month.
- You print 5,000-15,000 pages a month, in the sweet spot for the 36 ppm engine.
- You scan stacks of mixed-size originals — the optional DF-704 dual-scan ADF runs 160 ipm single-pass duplex.
- You need expandable paper capacity — base is 1,150 sheets, max is 6,650 with the LU-302 large-capacity tray and PC-410.
- You're standardizing on Konica Minolta — shares chassis, drivers, toner (TN-514), and i-Option licenses with the 308 and 458 siblings.
