Why Choose the bizhub C658?
Unrivaled Scanning Performance
The C658 comes standard with a single-pass dual-scan document feeder that handles 300 originals at once. By scanning both sides of a page simultaneously at 240 images per minute, it transforms your archiving workflow. It is the ideal tool for Nairobi’s legal and healthcare sectors, where digitizing huge paper files is a daily requirement.
Tablet-Style User Interface
The 10.1-inch touch panel is the largest in its class, providing a smartphone-like experience with "flick, pinch, and drag" gestures. A new mobile connectivity area on the panel allows users with NFC or Bluetooth-enabled mobile devices to pair instantly with the machine for secure, driverless printing.
Industrial-Grade Build for High Volume
With a maximum monthly duty cycle of 200,000 pages, the C658 is built to survive high-pressure environments. Its robust engine handles thick stocks up to 300 gsm and supports the largest paper capacity in the series (6,650 sheets), ensuring that long print runs such as training manuals or marketing collateral are completed without frequent reloads.
Professional Finishing & Color Control
The C658 supports high-end modular finishing, including 100-sheet stapling, hole-punching, and 80-page saddle-stitch booklet making with Z-folding. For creative agencies and design firms, an optional Fiery Image Controller (IC-416) can be added to provide professional-level color management and Pantone matching.
Eco-Conscious Technology
Utilizing Konica Minolta's Simitri HD polymerized toner, the C658 produces vivid colors and sharp text while reducing energy consumption. The toner's low-temperature fusing helps lower the carbon footprint of your office, while its 28,000-page high-yield ensures you replace consumables less often.
