Konica Minolta 8650 Printer Review

A monthly duty cycle of 150,000 pages is the maximum number of prints each Konica-Minolta magicolor 8650 color laser printer can produce. However, for an optimal lifespan, the manufacturer does not recommend reaching this limit regularly. It is built to handle the needs of mid-sized offices, but has the capacity to grow with the needs of an office. The 8650 is a dedicated printer, so it lacks the multi-function capabilities found on many current offices, but it will increase printing productivity.

Up to 35 pages per minute can be produced at an impressive resolution of 19200x600 dpi, created by the Konica-Minolta 8650 toner. Cyan, magenta, yellow and black printer toner is used, and it is held in four separate magicolor 8650 toner cartridges. Each of these toners has the capacity to print up to 20,000 pages before expiring. Replacement Konica-Minolta 8650 toner cartridges are available from various vendors online.

Though it weighs nearly 200 pounds, it has a frame that measures 25.3x27.9x25.1 inches that should fit comfortably in all offices, even those with limited space. It connects to one computer via USB and Parallel ports. It also offers networking through the built-in ethernet interface. Windows and Mac operating systems are all compatible with the 8650.

The levels of magicolor 8650 toner can be monitored on the control panel display, which also allows users to change settings. A 60GB hard drive and 1 GB of RAM are both standard features. Two 500-sheet input trays are built-in as well as a 150-sheet bypass tray for alternative paper types. Envelopes, labels and transparencies can all be printed on with the Konica-Minolta 8650 toner, giving this laser printer versatility. Overall, the 8650 is a solid office device that will last for years and consistently provide professional-quality black-and-white and full color documents.
