New Office Toy

Very nice!

Anyone familiar with how to setup email scanning on this guy, so I can send an email from the unit from a scan. Do I need to create a valid email account and configure it on the machine?

I haven't worked with these particular units before, but many MFP's nowadays have the ability to pull e-mail addresses from LDAP and send through a designated SMTP relay.

Whether you need a valid E-mail address for it to send from is up to how your e-mail system is setup

on ours we have it set so that if the exchange server is receiving it from the subnet that the printer is in then it doesn't require auth and can use any fake address you want

if you want SMTP auth then it can be setup

the ldap method can work for easy listing of addresses but if you have a large AD with tons of users but only a few that'll actually use the machine then its easier to just setup the address book

for the address book I just set one up on the machine (or via the web interface) then use the web interface to export it, then use excel to edit the csv file

then I can get real picky and do extra to organize the names

only problem I have is that if you have both FTP destinations and e-mail then it'll complain when an E-mail tries to overwrite an FTP and vise versa (easily fixed by deleting them both and then re-importing the file)

btw first thing I'd do is set the IP then do the rest from the web interface, they did give you the admin password right?

btw while we don't have that exact model we use 3 konicas
a C360, Bizhub 421, and a Bizhub 423

the exported CSV files of the address book while similar are not interchangeable

It's a small office, me and a partner. So no local exchange / LDAP setup, our email is hosted off site on a Zimbra setup. So we're just using local address book on the unit. I do have the admin password and am in the web access, just wasn't sure how the machine needed to be setup for email scanning.

Well if you use an external e-mail host then you might have to setup smtp auth and for that it might need a real e-mail address

but thats upto whats required to get mail into the zimbra system

how do you currently connect to it?

Do you connect via POP, SMTP, ect?
if you use SMTP to send mail from your client program then you should be able to do something similer on the konica

Got it working, I see it has a POP3 inbox is this to print from email?

I think so but I'm not sure as I've never used that function

You need to have a reply email in the maintenance section, any email address will do here including nonsense ones. Then reboot the device.
You have to have a valid IP address or host name for the SMTP email setting and a valid (admin) password re-entered any time you make changes in that section of the web interface. No reboot needed in this section of the admin interface.
If the email scan fails, go to Job log>scan>scan history, you highlight the latest scan job, then press Details. The display will give you hints as to the problem with the scan.
Please note the type of email server is important (easiest using Exchange) and some outsourced email services can be problematic. The default is sent to port 25.

I was able to get it to work. Now just to learn the rest of the functions on the machine. This guy came fully loaded.

Nice unit for two people

We have a fleet of the Bizhub line, they're good solid machines -- several of the 253/35x lines, a C550, and a 920 Pro (BW only). We're actually evaluating pricing and getting proposals on replacements right now since most of them are coming up to the end of their lease.

Everyone else (Xerox, Canon, Sharp) kind of makes Konica's interface look a bit clunky. Some of the new generation machines are like using an IPAD. But that stuff doesn't really count, we've had good service and overall good reliability from Konica.

btw make sure that its on a good surge protector

of the 3 we have (leased) 2 are on surge protectors and 1 isn't the one thats not incures the most service calls

though the company its leased from is suppost to provide the surge protector and repair it if anything goes wrong

so ya that one they've been out for a few times after just about any storm that makes the lights flicker, so they're suppost to be getting a surge protector for that one

the other 2 don't break down

reply to jester121
Konicas interface is klunky? Unless those three guys completely redesigned their interface the bizhub (to me) blows them out of the water.

As I said, the screens on the others are like an IPAD app. The Bizhub interface is like using any other copier from the last 15 years.

Do you have a photo of the setup? I haven't seen any of the new ones I guess.

The Sharp is probably the fanciest we've seen, »www.sharpusa.com/ForBusiness/Doc···iew.aspx

As I recall on the models we looked at there's no physical numeric keypad or other buttons, it's all touch. There's a slide-out small qwerty keyboard for entering text faster too.

Canon was pretty fancy too:

what all touch?
I prefer the buttons and touchscreen on the konicas here over a full touch interface

oh well some day we'll get forced into using sharps
