The bizhub C368 series adopts easy and intuitive INFO-Palette design with smart user interface. You get the same user experience through seamless operation across the PCs, tablets or smartphones.

To connect with Android devices

The operation panel is equipped with newly embedded Mobile Touch Area to support NFC (Near Field Communication) connection for Android^*1 devices. Pairing can be performed, through PageScope Mobile (PSM), by touching the area with Android device. First select the files on PSM and then touch the device to the operation panel to perform Print^*2 or scan^*2.

^*1 NFC connection requires Android OS 4.4 or higher to be installed.

^*2 Wireless LAN environment is required to perform touch to print and scan.

Wireless LAN (AP mode) connection image

Wireless LAN (AP mode) support

Make your bizhub wireless LAN Access Point^*6 to wirelessly connect mobile devices. Devices thus will not only able to connect directly with bizhub but are also securely separated from exiting LANs.

PageScope Mobile^*3 will enable more convenience as wireless set up can be completed between a mobile device and bizhub by reading the QR code that is displayed on the machine panel.

^*6 Optional Upgrade Kit UK-212 is required.

^*In AP mode (base unit), simultaneous connections can be made with up to 5 devices.

Plenty of paper feed options

The standard paper capacity of the MFP is 1,150 sheets. With the optional paper feed options, the paper capacity can be increased up to 3,650 sheet. The optional Large Capacity Unit will bring the maximum of 6,650^*1 sheets to reduce overall MFP downtime caused by paper replenishment.

^*1 When optional Paper Feed Cabinet PC-410 and Large Capacity Unit LU-302 are mounted.

Multifunction finisher

The optional finisher allows you to perform many high-level finishing such as three sheets stacked tri-fold, stapling, punching, and saddle stitching. User can produce internal documents more easily and professionally.

Authentication on the MFP main unit

User can perform Authentication directly on the main unit. Access control can be set up for functions like print, scan, copy and fax^*1.

^*1 Optional Fax Kit FK-513 is required.

IC card authentication

Users can authenticate^*2 with various types of IC card^*3. The authentication method complies with SSFC (Shared Security Formats Cooperation). Besides the IC Card, users can authenticate with Android devices^*4 with equipped NFC antenna.

^*2 Optional Authentication Unit AU-201S is required.

^*3 Compliant non-contact IC cards include FeliCa (IDm), SSFC, FCF, FCF (campus), FeliCa Private, and MIFARE (UID).

^*4 Requires Android 4.4 or later that supports HCE (Host Card Emulation) or PageScope Mobile for Android v4.1 or later.

Biometric authentication

Scans the veins on the finger as the biometric data which offers very high-level security and is easy to implement^*4.

^*4 Optional Biometric Authentication Unit AU-102 and Working Table WT-506 are required.

HDD mirroring

Supports “Mirroring” which synchronizes the main HDD data and backup HDD data in real time. In the event of main HDD failure, operation automatically switches to the backup HDD which will drastically reduce the risk of data loss.

Server-less pull printing

With server-less pull printing, print jobs sent by user can be printed from any MFP in the same network.

^*A pull printing system consisting of a maximum of 10 MFPs can be created. It is necessary that all corresponding MFPs be in the same network.

^*Optional i-Option LK-114 and Upgrade Kit UK-211 are required to be installed to each of the MFP.

TPM (Trusted Platform Module)

TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a security chip which encrypts and decrypts confidential data. The information is encrypted and stored in dedicated storage area in the chip to avoid unauthorized reading.

^*Optional i-Option LK-115 v2 is required.

Authentication on the MFP main unit

Authentication can be performed directly on the main unit. Detailed access control can be set up for each function, including copy, print, scan and fax^*1.

^*1 Optional Fax Kit FK-514 is required.

Biometric authentication

Your finger veins become the most accurate authentication tool. Biometric authentication is easy to implement, but offers very high-level security.

^*Optional Biometric Authentication Unit AU-102 and Working Table WT-506 are required.

HDD mirroring

Supports “Mirroring”, which synchronises main HDD data and backup HDD data in real time. In the event of main HDD failure, operation automatically switches to the backup HDD to drastically reduce the risk of data loss.

^*Optional HDD Mirroring Kit HD -524 is required.

Screen display enlarge and colour reversal functions

For better visibility now it is possible to enlarge the text on the buttons and reverse the screen display colour while maintaining the same contrast ratio.

Detachable paper cassette

Paper cassette of the bizhub is detachable to easily remove the jammed paper that has remained inside the MFP.

Usage of the recycled materials

Konica Minolta has made further advances on its unique chemical processing technology. It has also increased its use of recycled PC/PET and has raised the PCR ratio^*1 to approximately 70%. This recycled material accounts for more than 25% of the weight ratio of the total resin volume in the main unit. The ratio of recycled materials in the surface area of the machine has increased to approximately 78%.

Comparison of TEC values (in Europe and other regions) of previous models (bizhub C364e/C284e/C224e) and the bizhub C368 series.

Top class power consumption and TEC value in its class

The MFP’s CPU power is set to turn off during sleep mode. This results in a best-in-class 0.5 W power consumption ratio (during sleep mode). The TEC value has also been reduced approximately by 5-18%. CO2 emission from the MFP is drastically reduced.
