Konica Minolta bizhub 5000i

The Konica Minolta bizhub 5000i is a value desktop A4 mono laser MFP for small workgroups of 3-12 users — the step up from the 4000i in the same family. It prints and copies up to 50 ppm letter, scans via the flatbed (or an optional 50-sheet RADF), and is rated for a 150,000-page monthly max duty cycle (recommended 10,000 pages/month for sane toner economics). Standard paper capacity is 570 sheets (one 520-sheet drawer plus a 50-sheet bypass), expandable to 1,610 sheets with optional cassettes. The 1.8-inch color status display is a step up from the 4000i's 1-line LCD — readable at a glance but not interactive. Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n is standard along with Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0. First page out is 7.5 seconds. The chassis is small (15.7 x 15.6 x 11.3 inches, 29 lb) — sits on a desk or counter. The thing buyers regret: assuming the 1.8-inch panel is enough for a 10-person office. For stack scanning and easy multi-user scan-to-network setup, jump to the 5020i (4.85" touch panel with dual-scan ADF standard).
