Key Features
Top Bizhub C659i Features
Box
The Bizhub C659i uses a feature called the “Box”, which allows employees to store, retrieve and share files amongst authorized users. However, the Box as it is called comes equipped with other more advanced features such as automatic deletion of files older than a preset period; documents can be scanned and copied to the Box for later use too.
Contents stored in the Box can also be accessed via a web browser, or by using the operator utility making downloading and uploading files to it more manageable. Box permissions can be set for a given group or an individual along with full public access.

Customizable Interface
The Bizhub C659i comes with a customizable interface, which allows users to streamline numerous daily use features like faxing, printing and copying. The adaptable MFP panel, coupled with the driver makes the printer exceptionally easy to use in all types of environments.
Excellent for Productivity
The Bizhub C659i boasts of ultra-fast scanning and printing. The dual-scan document feeder, for instance, can scan verso and recto of original double-sided documents in a single run at 240 ipm! Plus the extensive inventory of Konica Minolta’s application library and their mobile portfolio helps extended the functionality of the MPF further.
Copying Features
The Bizhub C659i comes with the standard set of copying features that can be found on other higher-end Konica Minolta MFPs. However, it is refreshing to see that the company has introduced these features to the Bizhub line of printers. The features include blank page removal which deletes blank pages automatically when copying mixed documents and duplex documents.
A feature called card shot allows users to print copies of the front and back of their document all on the same page. The feature is most useful for instances where social security or ID cards need to be printed or saved. Every job is previewed on the 10.1” inch screen and is printed upon approval (a tap on the screen).
The Bizhub C659i also has built-in copy protection which will print a concealed security watermark mark which will only become visible if there is an attempt to copy it.
