Colour Universal Design
Konica Minolta has received Colour Universal Design certification from Japan’s Colour Universal Design Organization (CUDO).
In validation tests using subjects with four types of colour-vision deficiencies, (red and green blindness, red and green weakness), CUDO confirmed that regardless of the deficiency, information transmission in colour by this unit functioned correctly.
Thorough Protection of Office Information
Data security is an ongoing concern in the corporate world. Konica Minolta works tirelessly to keep clients’ documents secure, in both digital and paper formats. By including cutting edge security functions in all Konica Minolta technologies, we aim to reduce the burden on IT administrators.
bizhub SECURE services
Data protection is a major issue for most companies. bizhub delivers advanced security settings through bizhub SECURE services, a total security setting service that provides greater protection for customer data stored in the SSD and device’s network settings.
Optional Expansion SSD EM-907 is required.
Use PC login user names for easy secure printing
The PC login profile can be used as an ID for secure printing, so the user can print easily and securely once logged in without the trouble of entering his or her ID each time.
Secure printing
By setting a password for documents on the printer driver screen, the document is stored on the MFP’s SSD until the correct password is input on the operation panel. The document is protected without being output until the password set for that document is matched. This is useful when you wish to print confidential documents or give permission for limited users to receive copies.
Encrypted SSD
The bizhub C287i series is equipped with a new 256 GB encrypted SSD for heightened security. With very few device compatibility problems, and with full-time encryption, this constantly maintains a high level of security with no fuss
Optional Expansion SSD EM-907 is required.
Various types of user authentication
Optimal authentication systems can be customised to suit office scale and pre-existing systems. The bizhub C287i series also supports single sign-on (SSO) which enhances operability without sacrificing security
Main unit authentication
Authentication can be performed through the bizhub alone. It is also possible to set detailed usage restrictions for functions, including copy, print, scan and fax*.
Biometric authentication
Highly accurate authentication is possible using finger veins. It’s easy, and also enables the building of high-level security systems.
Requires Biometric Authentication Device AU-102 option, USB Interface EK-608 /EK-609 option, and Working Table WT-506 option.
Non-contact IC card authentication
Non-contact IC cards*1 such as FeliCa can be used to authenticate users*2. This also supports SSFC (Shared Security Formats Cooperation) specifications which enable integration of staff authentication with authentication systems. Apart from non-contact IC cards, authentication can also be carried out on NFC-compatible Android devices*3
*1 Non-contact IC cards are compatible with FeliCa (IDm), SSFC, FCF, FCF (Campus) and MIFARE (UID).
*2 Requires the optional IC card authentication device AU-201S and USB interface EK608 / EK-609.
*3 Requires an Android device later than Android 4.4, compatible with HCE (Post Card Emulation), and Konica Minolta Mobile Print.
Virus scanning
The bizhub C287i series is equipped with robust antivirus software based on an embedded Bitdefender scan engine to ensure safe connection to devices including PCs, tablets, and USB flash drives. Scanning individual files means much finer virus detection than with the whitelist method alone. Latent viruses in the office are discovered through checking and notification when files are input. Checking when files are output from the MFP also prevents dissemination of infected files. Further periodic checking of files in the MFP discovers risky files and detects latent risks in the MFP. Real time virus scan jobs are available for print, scan and fax functions, while manual or scheduled virus scans are possible for folders such as SMB folders on the Box and SSD.
Requires i-Option LK-116 and Expansion SSD EM-907.
Requires an internet environment.
Serverless printing in a ubiquitous network
The bizhub C287i series achieves serverless printing in aubiquitous network that outputs previously sent print jobs from any desired MFP in the office network, after authentication. As a base unit for printing, it works as a print server, which enables the easy, low-cost creation of a serverless printing system for ubiquitous computing.
A print system in a ubiquitous network can be created for up to 100 units.Each MFP requires the i-Option LK-114 option. To use C287i series models as base units Expansion SSD EM-907 is required
Encrypted PDFs
- Password encryption
Documents distributed in PDF format can be password encrypted. - Digital ID encryption
Only authorised recipients with a private key can decrypt. This ensures a far more robust level of security than the previous public key system.If encrypting with Digital ID, the email address (S/MIME send) to which the Digital ID has already been registered must be registered to the MFP’s abbreviated address.
Requires the i-Option LK-102 v3 and Expansion SSD EM-907. - Electronic signatures
Electronic signatures certify (MFP) document authors, and also guarantee that the document has not been changed and is valid. Certifications by third party organisations can also be used.
Requires the i-Option LK-102 v3 and Expansion SSD EM-907.
Recognised high-level security ISO/IEC 15408 certification
To objectively prove the reliability of Konica Minolta MFP security functions, we plan to apply for the Common Criteria (CC) for Information Technology Security Evaluation (ISO/IEC 15408). The bizhub C287i series will also obtain CC certification for compliance with HCD-PP v1.0 (Protection Profile for Hardcopy Devices).
Information security-related certification obtained for this product (and this system) demonstrates compliance with certification requirements as a result of evaluations based on specified evaluation standards and methods, but does not assure that the product (or the system) is completely without weaknesses.
