The Konica Minolta bizhub C654e is a heavy-duty, high-speed multifunction printer designed to sit at the core of large corporate departments and central reprographic centers. As the high-velocity variant of the "e" series, it offers a dramatic jump in speed, providing up to 65 ppm in mono and 60 ppm in color. It combines the ease of use found in smaller bizhub models with the rugged durability of a light production engine. For Kenyan organizations that require rapid turnaround times for high-volume reports, educational materials, or legal filings, the C654e offers an industrial-strength solution without sacrificing the intuitive touch-screen interface that users love.

Why Choose the Bizhub C654e?
Industrial Production Speed
The C654e is built for velocity. With a mono output of 65 ppm and a first-copy time of just 3.7 seconds, this machine ensures that even massive document stacks are processed in minutes rather than hours. It is the ideal workhorse for high-demand environments where meeting tight deadlines is a daily requirement.
Elite Scanning Performance
Digitization is effortless with the standard single-pass dual scanner. By scanning both sides of a document simultaneously, the C654e achieves speeds of 180 images per minute. This high-capacity feeder handles up to 150 originals at once, perfect for the massive digitization projects common in Kenya's legal and healthcare sectors.
Award-Winning INFO-Palette Touch Interface
The 9-inch touchscreen features Konica Minolta's "flick and drag" technology, mimicking the feel of a modern tablet. Users can customize the interface to display their most-used functions, significantly reducing the time spent on complex tasks like booklet creation or scanning to specific cloud folders.
Professional Quality with Simitri HD Toner
Despite its high speed, the C654e maintains exceptional image quality. Simitri® HD polymerized toner ensures fine lines and small text remain sharp, while high-definition color graphics stay vibrant. This technology also uses biomass materials, reducing the environmental footprint for eco-conscious Kenyan enterprises.
Massive Paper and Finishing Flexibility
The C654e can hold a total of 6,650 sheets of paper, meaning fewer interruptions for refills. It supports professional finishing options, including a 100-sheet staple finisher, an 80-page saddle-stitch booklet maker, and even a Z-folding unit giving you the power of a commercial print shop in your own office.
Perfect For
Large-scale corporate headquarters, high-volume government ministries, major academic institutions, and regional NGOs in Kenya that require 24/7 reliability and massive monthly document throughput.
Tailored to Your Needs
The C654e is a highly scalable system. It can handle diverse media, from thin 52 gsm sheets to thick 300 gsm cardstock and even 1.2-meter long banners. For specialized color needs, an optional Fiery® Image Controller can be added to provide professional-grade color management for design-heavy workflows.
Designed For
The bizhub C654e is the high-speed vanguard for Kenya’s most intensive workforces. It is designed for the bustling educational centers that print thousands of exam papers daily and for the major administrative hubs in Nairobi that require a machine capable of handling a quarter-million pages a month without hesitation. This machine thrives where high pressure meets high volume, providing a robust, reliable, and secure platform that allows your organization to communicate at the speed of thought. It is the ultimate tool for those who need to scale their impact and deliver professional results every single time.
