Konica Minolta bizhub 368e Multifunction Printer

The Konica Minolta bizhub 368e is a floor-standing B&W A3 multifunction printer for workgroups of 20-40 people that need tabloid-size mono output, color scanning, and real headroom on the duty cycle. It runs at 36 ppm B&W on letter (18 ppm on 11x17), posts a 4.5-second first-copy-out and a 25-second warm-up, and is rated for 200,000 pages a month. Standard paper input is two 500-sheet drawers plus a 150-sheet bypass for 1,150 sheets total; max capacity is 6,650 sheets with the LU-302 large-capacity tray and PC-410. Print resolution is 1800 x 600 dpi or true 1200 x 1200 dpi. The 9-inch tablet-style color touchscreen handles complex scan and print workflows with web-browser support for 3rd-party apps; 4GB system memory and a 250GB HDD come standard, so User Box, encrypted PDF, and fax-to-folder work out of the box. Color scanning runs up to 160 ipm via the optional DF-704 single-pass dual-scan ADF (or 80 ipm with the DF-629 reversing ADF), with destinations to email, SMB, FTP, User Box, USB, WebDAV, DPWS, and URL. Mobile printing covers AirPrint, Mopria, Google Cloud Print, and NFC. EPEAT Gold certified. The thing buyers regret: 11x17 prints at half the letter speed — heavy tabloid users should size up to the 458e. Predecessor product — buy refurbished or move to the i-Series 361i successor.
