Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Konica Minolta bizhub C3851FS is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You print 3,000 to 10,000 pages a month and want a current-feel touchscreen on a desktop MFP.
  • Built-in fax matters for your workflow.
  • Mobile printing (AirPrint, Mopria) needs to work without add-on hardware.
  • You scan double-sided originals regularly.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You can spec the second paper cassette to handle your volume.
  • A4 covers all your print needs — no tabloid required.
  • You're replacing an older C3850-series and want the better UI.
  • You need user authentication and secure print as standard.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print A3 tabloid — get an A3 bizhub instead.
  • Monthly volume is consistently over 12,000 pages — wrong size class.
  • You expect finishing options (staple, booklet) — desktop A4 units don't get finishers.
  • You don't need fax and want the cheapest possible model — get the non-FS variant.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Konica Minolta bizhub C3851FS is the refresh of the C3850FS — same A4 color form factor, 40 ppm, but with a 7-inch color touchscreen, native AirPrint and Mopria support, and a refreshed UI that's noticeably more usable than the previous generation. Built-in fax, dual-scan ADF, automatic duplex, scan-to-email/FTP/SMB/USB/cloud, secure print, and user authentication are all standard. Sized for small offices doing 3,000 to 10,000 pages a month. The thing buyers regret most: same as the C3850FS — base paper capacity around 350 sheets is light if your volume creeps up. Spec the second cassette. Also worth knowing: it's still A4 only. If you ever print tabloid spreadsheets or signage, this isn't your machine. The 'i-Series feel' on the touchscreen is the real upgrade — staff stop calling for help on basic tasks. Mobile printing works without add-on hardware, which is what you want in 2026. For small offices that need a complete print/copy/scan/fax desktop with current-gen UX, the C3851FS holds up well. Off-lease pricing is the sweet spot. Brand new, the current A4 bizhub line edges it on cloud connectors and security baseline.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.
