Konica Minolta magicolor 2490MF: The New Four in One Addition to the Laser Multifunctional Product Range
~ now including fax, PictBridge and optional duplexer ~
Staines, UK, 15th November 2006 - Konica Minolta Printing Solutions has launched its latest colour laser multifunction device, the magicolor 2490MF. Perfect for both small and medium offices, the magicolor 2490MF combines all vital office requirements - print, copy, scan and fax, as well as PictBridge, the camera direct photo print option - into one compact and convenient machine. With an internal network interface, it fits easily into corporate networks or it can be used as a combined printer / copier for workgroups.
"Building on the success of the award-winning magicolor 2480MF, the new colour laser multifunctional magicolor 2490MF not only offers all key office features and functions, but also includes the direct photo print option of PictBridge, proven to be invaluable to many SMEs requiring fast and high quality photo prints in their daily business. Its high performance and versatility makes it an indispensable tool for today's busy office" said Oscar Rook, Marketing Director at Konica Minolta Printing Solutions UK Ltd.
Colour Prints, Copies, Scans
The magicolor 2490MF is the all round workhorse that enables users to print professional colour prints, copies, scans, fax documents and photos in laser quality. With 2400 x 600 dpi print resolution and Konica Minolta's unique Simitri polymerised toner and enhanced Automatic Image Density Control (eAIDC), it generates vibrant and consistent colours, crisp text, detailed graphics, smooth halftones, and razor-sharp photographs on a broad range of media. It prints at up to 20 pages per minute in mono and 5 ppm in colour, and copies at 12 cpm in mono and 5 cpm in colour. With 128 MB RAM on board, even the most complex jobs are processed quickly.
Documents and photos can be scanned in detailed 24-bit colour and sent directly as an email via the network to a variety of recipients in any location without using a PC. By using PaperPort from ScanSoft, originals can be scanned up to the maximum document size of Legal (A4+) at a resolution of 600 dpi and then edited and saved in a variety of formats such as PDF, JPEG or TIFF. Scanning an A4 original takes 9.4 seconds in mono, and 23 seconds in colour. The scanner supports both WIA and TWAIN-protocols. The magicolor 2490MF provides Super G3 fax capability, sending and receiving faxes at up to 33.6 Kbps.
PictBridge
The magicolor 2490MF is equipped with a PictBridge interface, enabling users to print photos directly from their PictBridge-compliant digital cameras. Photos can be rotated directly from the camera and adapted to fit the desired print format. Another option is to print an overview of all photos in thumbnail format from the camera's memory
Maximise productivity, space and cost effectiveness With all essential office tools within reach, customers do not need to devote valuable space, time and money on having single function machines in different locations. Its space saving design allows it to fit into any workspace - even on a desk. In addition, with an affordable acquisition cost, low cost per page and exceptional media handling, it is a natural choice for the most budget conscious professionals.
Versatility and power for the modern office The magicolor 2490MF includes both fast 10/100BaseT Ethernet and high speed "Plug and Play" USB 2.0, and boasts a robust duty cycle of up to 35,000 prints a month. It is supported by Windows® Server 2003, XP, 2000, Me, and 98SE operating systems.
Easy to install and use

The intuitive control panel puts all of the necessary functionality at the user's fingertips and the standard Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) provides time-saving, unattended copying and scanning.
Exceptional media handling and optional duplexer The magicolor 2490MF supports a wide range of media types including standard paper, glossy and thick stock, transparencies, postcards, laser quality labels and photo media.
