1. Introduction

Konica Minolta is proud to introduce the bizhub C352/C300, a compact digital colour multifunctional peripheral that
can print, copy, scan, e-mail, fax (optional) and store data, all in one place. It can also output both colour and B/W
pages (A4 Crosswise) at a quick 35 ppm (C352) or 30 ppm (C300). Equipped with an abundance of cutting-edge
network functions, the C352/C300 is an ideal replacement for B/W machines. Its perfect as a central machine for
small and medium-size offices, as well as a dispersed machine in larger offices.
The C352/C300 features a body as compact as many B/W machines. The small, multi-array laser diode print head
was developed completely in-house. It represents the essence of Konica Minolta optical printer technologies, and
enables the C352/C300 to achieve both high output speed and high image quality. The C352/C300 saves space, even
when using the optional new, compact, built-in Finisher.
The C352/C300 promotes effective use of office document information. Both colour and B/W documents can be
scanned and converted into electronic data, which can then be shared, distributed or stored in Boxes. This ability to
share information assets allows the C352/C300 to become an offices centre of knowledge sharing. In addition, the
C352/C300 features top-class data security functions, thanks to a host of advanced Konica Minolta technologies, for
protecting a companys information assets from leaks and other dangers.
The optional new sheet-through Automatic Document Feeder, which features Konica Minoltas original dust
reduction system, enables high-speed scanning at 50 ppm (colour, 300 dpi, A4 Crosswise). For easy sharing and
distribution to servers or PCs, the C352/C300 can scan a paper document and convert the data into Ultra-Compact
PDF files or TIFF or JPEG files. By reducing the file size to approximately 1/7th that of previous models, the
industry-leading Ultra-Compact PDF makes it easy to distribute colour and other documents that were previously
difficult to send and receive due to large file size.
With swift 35 ppm (C352) or 30 ppm (C300) output of A4 colour pages and Konica Minolta's unique Simitri toner
and image processing technologies, the C352/C300 produces professional-looking documents quickly. Particular
emphasis has been placed on providing the C352/C300 with the reproduction capabilities that are most needed for
business documents. A newly developed graphic processing ASIC achieves top-class reproduction of text and graphs,
enabling excellent fidelity to the original in the kinds of business documents that are used most frequently. The C352/
C300 also provides flexible features for creating and managing important documents, such as proposals and reports,
with superb quality.The optional built-in Finisher even features an optional saddle-stitching function that reduces the
steps needed in booklet production. This makes it easy to produce materials in-house at a fraction of what a printing
company would charge. The C352/C300's optional Fiery Image Controller is ideally suited for high-end office
imaging use as well as professional desktop publishing and graphic design.
Furthermore, the C352/C300 features a user authentication function together with the conventional department
management function. This lets managers authorise or restrict use of the C352/C300 on an individual basis. For
example, managers can restrict an employee from using a particular C352/C300 function or limit the number of
colour pages the employee can print. This enables efficient office management and also helps to reduce costs.
Konica Minolta employs Universal Design, making products that are easy for anyone to use, and giving them an
attractive design as well. An example of this approach is the use of a large, easy-to-read LCD display and buttons for
the all-important control panel, with a design that allows the user to adjust the control panels angle in three steps for
optimal viewing and use. In addition, the C352/C300 adds the same level of overall reliability as a B/W machine.
With the C352/C300, Konica Minolta has further expanded its lineup of high-quality colour machines that satisfy a
wide range of customer needs, and will change how they do business.

Offices that mainly need B/W output. The C352/C300 is an ideal replacement for current Segment 2/3 B/W machines.
Small and medium-size offices needing a central machine.
Larger offices that could use multiple C352/C300 units as dispersed machines.

2. Market Trends and Positioning

5 Positioning
Competitive Trends
As the market for colour copiers grows, all manufacturers are expanding their line of office colour machines. While
some of these new products draw attention to the increased speed of colour outputs and downsizing of the machine's
dimensions, many new models come dual-equipped with the functions, productivity, and reliability of conventional
B/W copiers, which enable offices to reduce the total cost of ownership.
These new colour models are targeted to stimulate B/W copier replacement, mainly in general offices. In most
cases, you will find that their output speeds of B/W and colour copies will differ.
Another recent trend is for manufacturers to enhance the security of their new models, as well as to further improve
network functions, for example, by providing a controller as standard equipment.
With its fast copy/print speed of 35 ppm (C352) or 30 ppm (C300), the new addition to the Konica Minolta lineup
will bring a high level of productivity to any office.

Positioning the C352/C300


Equipped with functions that directly address the needs of a general office, the C352/C300 was developed to replace B/
W copiers currently being used. The C352/C300s compact size and reliability match those of most B/W copiers.
It boasts the same output speed for colour and B/W documents. The C352/C300s high-speed capability enables
users to produce highly persuasive proposals and other important documents in colour with the same productivity
and efficiency as when creating B/W documents.
Booklet production function is available as an option, allowing you to cut costs by creating professional-looking
colour documents in-house. On top of the standard controller, the optional Fiery Image Controller is ideally suited
for users in desktop publishing and graphic design, as well as office professionals demanding high-end images.
With its enhanced finishing functions, advanced scanning, high printing speed, and top-level cost performance in
its class, the C352/C300 is the ideal solution for this target market.

Multi Access
Copying, printing, scanning, networking, and faxing are all controlled by the same CPU firmware. This allows all of these
functions to work together seamlessly.
High-speed data processing (shorter processing times)
Better parallel job processing
Data linking

The C352/C300 features improved multi-access processing. Jobs are immediately released for processing when parallel
operations are initiated. Various types of data are handled easily and comfortably. Faxes can be sent while copies are being
made; PC-Faxes can be sent while pages are being printed; data can be scanned and saved in Boxes while faxes are being
sent. You can also register a list of up to 450 jobs, then rearrange, skip or delete jobs as desired. This multi-tasking capability

1 Network Printing
1) Fast 35 ppm Output in Colour and B/W (C300: 30 ppm)
Standard Controller
Windows XP

The C352/C300 is equipped with a standard printer controller


compatible with PCL6 and PostScript3, achieving 35 prints/
min (C300: 30 prints/min). The C352/C300 can be used as a
shared printer in a mixed network environment comprised of
different operating systems.

Windows NT4.0

Windows Server
2003

Mac OS

Windows 98SE
Windows Me

One-to-one prints achieve a fast 35 ppm (C300: 30 ppm)


Thanks to the enhanced speed of the C352/C300s CPU (466 MHz) and high-speed RIP processing, we have attained a level
that will more than satisfy most offices, even via the standard controller. The C352/C300 has a faster output speed than the
C350 (16 ppm). Colour prints are also hardware-enhanced for superb image quality and speedy output. In addition, the output
speed of PDF files has been improved from the C350.

4) Ultra-Compact PDF
This is a dramatically improved version of compact PDF technology. It reduces the amount of data required by distinguishing
between the text portions and the photo or image portions of each scanned document, and then using the optimal compression
ratio for each. It produces smaller file sizes, while actually raising the quality of conventional compact PDF images to a level
that approaches normal PDF. The C352/C300 is equipped with a built-in PDF function. New software adds to the text/image
separation and text/image compensation processing that is done using hardware (ASIC) in the C450. It works effectively with
mixed text and graphic, text only, and graphic only. The resulting files are 1/7th the size of those produced by the C350, and
resolution is fixed at 300 dpi.

7) Convenient E-Mail Address Setting Functions


LDAP Search Function
The C352/C300 supports the Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP) for accessing LDAP directory databases,
which have the network users mail and IP addresses on the
network. It searches for a destination e-mail address in the
LDAP server by operating the C352/C300s control panel.

Previously, users had to


access the LDAP server
from their PC when
sending e-mail.

LDAP server

With the LDAP search function,


addresses can be searched and
added during Scan to E-mail,
directly from the C352/C300.

Address
book

Up to 120 addresses can be searched in a single operation,


and up to 2,000 retrieved addresses can be registered into the
C352/C300s Address Book with a single operation.
This function is advantageous for large networks and makes
sending data using Scan to E-mail even easier. Search
parameters such as including XXX, starting with XXX,and
ending with XXX can be set.

About the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)


LDAP is a protocol for accessing a service that instantly searches and references directory data. It works by integrating
a variety of data that is dispersed over the network with the user data that requires it. LDAP runs on TCP/IP networks.
The server that is used for this purpose is called an LDAP server. LDAP operates faster than the Directory Access
Protocol (DAP) that is employed in the X.500 protocol, making it well suited to TCP/IP networks.

Abbreviated Dial/Group Dial/Program Dial


This function lets the user pre-register e-mail addresses, fax numbers, and settings for sending data. Up to 2,000 entries can be
registered, or up to 100 groups. A maximum of 400 programs, complete with recipient e-mail addresses or fax numbers, scan
settings, and telecommunications methods, can also be registered. In addition, this function can simultaneously distribute data
to FTP, SMB, e-mail, Boxes, and faxes, and retrieve registered recipients using the first letter of their name.
PageScope Data Administrator
For details, see Management section.
Prefix/Suffix Registration
This function lets the user quickly and accurately input e-mail addresses by registering frequently used accounts and domains
in advance. For example, the account ABC can be pre-registered as a prefix, and the domain @konicaminolta.com as a
suffix. To enter an address like ABC12345@konicaminolta.com, the user simply has to enter 12345 and the prefix and suffix
are automatically added to it.

8) Subject Input/Text Input


This function lets you register frequently used phrases, such as domain names, greetings, and department names. You can then
choose from 10 types of previously input phrases when sending by e-mail. Input subjects can also be edited. Using a panel with
an ordinary keyboard layout, you can change subjects and filenames, and add to existing text.

9) Scan Accelerator Kit


The optional Scan Accelerator Kit SA-501 speeds up JPEG processing and lets you create Ultra-Compact PDFs and JPEG files
quickly. Installing this kit also lets you reprint scanned data stored in a Box.

* Optional Mount Kit MK-706 is required.

this Box. Up to 10 sub-Boxes can also be created within the Bulletin Board User Box. (See also Fax Function section.)

Polling TX User Box


When using FAX F-code communications, the polling TX data is stored in this Box. The receivers then access the sender's machine
to receive the data. (See also Fax Function section.)

Memory RX User Box


When Memory RX is set, all incoming faxes are stored in the Memory RX User Box. A password (from 1 to 8 letters, numbers, or
symbols) is required to access the Memory RX User Box and output the documents inside it. After inputting the password, the
desired files can be selected and printed. (See also Fax Function section.)

Secure Print User Box


This Box is used to store data that was designated for secure printing when it was output from a PC. Both a user name and password
(from 1 to 8 letters, numbers, or symbols) are required to access these documents.

Annotation User Box


This Box is used when adding annotations to scanned documents. You can create up to 10 Boxes from the Administrator Setting.
The annotation can include the Title, a Counter Number and Date/Time.

Storage Period for Data in Boxes


The user can select the storage period for data in Boxes. By setting the storage
period for shared documents, the data that remains in the Boxes past the designated
period is automatically deleted.

5) Annotation Function
Users can create annotations to be added to scanned documents for management purposes. When a document or image is
scanned and the data is saved as a PDF file in an Annotation User Box, the annotation will be added automatically to the header
or footer each time the file is retrieved. This is especially convenient when managing data by client or production date, and it
helps deter unauthorised printing by making it easier to identify the creator of the documents.

How to Create an Annotation


Creating an Annotation User Box

Enter Administrator Setting to create an Annotation User


Box. You can create up to 10 Boxes, and the annotation
can include the Title, a Counter Number and Date/Time.
Scanning and saving a document

When scanning a document, display the Application screen, select an Annotation User Box as the destination and
save the data as a PDF file. The title you create for the User Box, along with a counter number and the scanning date/
time, is embedded as a text layer in the header or footer.
Viewing a saved file

To view a file in an Annotation User Box, send the file to a client PC through the network or use a PC to retrieve the
file using the Box Operator. Use AdobeReader to open the file. The annotation is displayed along with the scanned
document. You can print the document or distribute it through the network.

Available Settings for Creating an Annotation


Title

The title can contain up to 40 characters (single-byte alphanumeric). This can be changed later, but not when creating
settings for network distribution. (Displayed as "Primary Field" on control panel.)
Counter number (number/character string + counter value)

Up to 20 characters (single-byte alphanumeric) can be set as a number/character string (this can be changed later). The
counter value can be set to increase each time a document is scanned or for each job. (This can be changed later if the User
Box is empty; you cannot change it if there's a document in the Box). Choose from two counter value formats: non-fixed
digit number (example: 12345), or fixed 8-digit number (example: 00012345). The default counter value for each box is
"0". (Number/character string displayed as "Secondary Field" on control panel.)
Scanning date and time

You can select from the following (this can be changed later, and the format can be temporarily changed when the file is retrieved).
Date : '06/1/23 (default)
Jan 23,2006

2) PC-Fax Function
You can use any of several applications on your PC to create a
document, then fax it directly from your PC (assuming your PC
is connected to the network). Because theres no need to print the
document before faxing it, theres less paper waste and lower
costs. This paperless process also makes it easier to manage the
data you send and ensures that the sent documents are clear and
easy to read, free of smudges, faded sections and other
degradation. Using the PC-Fax RX function, you can store the
received fax in a Box without printing it out. Or, you can print
out the document at the same time as saving it in a Box.

90o Image Rotation Transmission
When sending faxes, many people set the original in a crosswise direction, just as they do
when making copies. Even when the fax is set this way, the C352/C300 rotates the image by
90 degrees, enabling you to send faxes without transmission errors such as the image being
reduced or cut off at the sides. This feature greatly reduces paper waste.

Frame Erase Transmission


Frame Erase is a function that, when transmitting a document bound in the form of a book, does not allow transmission of dark
bands that would otherwise be reproduced in the marginal areas of the transmitted pages. Dark bands are reproduced when the
original is a book or read with the ADF left open. Frame erasure transmission prevents reproduction of dark bands.

Ordinary transmission

Frame Erase transmission

* The width of erasure can be set in steps of 0.1mm in the range of 0.1mm-5.0mm. Initial setting of erasure width: 5.0mm.
Background Adjustment
Background Adjustment is a function that adjusts the density
of the background colour of the original. When an original
with coloured background is read, the base of the original tends
to turn black. In such a case, a message can be sent after
adjusting the density of the background colour of the original.

Sharpness
Sharpness is a function to adjust the intensity at
the edge section. In the case of document with
blurred characters, setting the sharpness to [+]
allows the characters to be adjusted clearly. And
setting it to [-] allows them to be adjusted so
that they have a smooth impression.

Scan Size
The Scan Size Select function enables you to designate the
paper size for the document transmitted to be equal to the
paper size loaded at the receiving end. This means that most
of your original image will be printed without any reduction.
Normally, when the paper size loaded at the destination is too
small to accommodate the image being transmitted, the original
image will be reduced to fit the paper size. This feature gives
you the option to print a portion of the image with no reduction.

Confidential Transmission/Reception
Confidential communication is enabled in the Utility Mode. It is a function that allows you to use restricted access Boxes
(similar to e-mail accounts) to exchange private information with specific people. Not only can you send a document to a
restricted access Box of a destination (Confidential transmission) but you can receive a document in a Confidential User Box of
your station (Confidential reception).
* This function can be used only when the destination (fax) with which you communicate incorporates the F-code feature.
* Confidential transmission requires that the destination receiving the transmission has a restricted access Box and password
defined for that station's fax machine. The password may not be needed, depending on the fax machine.
* If you intend to perform Confidential reception, define a Confidential User Box and password for your station and give this
information to the transmitting station.

Memory Reception
In the Utility Mode, you can set the C352/C300 to receive documents, store them in memory, and print them out as needed. This
mode is called Memory Reception.

Password Transmission
Password Transmission requires that transmission be performed with a password attached. If the receiving facsimile with the
C352/C300 is set to Closed Network RX, it is necessary for the sender to send the same password as the Closed Network RX
password.
* This function can be used only when the destination (fax) with which you communicate incorporates the F-code feature.
F-Code
It defines the use of the sub-address of T.30* standardised by ITU-T. You can use various functions of the F-code in the
fax communication among facsimiles supporting the F-code function even if their manufacturers are different. In this
machine, the F-code is used in the bulletin board, relay request, confidential communication and password transmission.
* This is one of the communication standards.

39

4. Features and Functions

Checking the Destination Before Sending


At the time of transmission, the specified fax number is
compared with the fax number information (CSI: Called
Subscriber Information) of the destination machine and the data
is transmitted only when both numbers correspond with each
other. This function prevents incorrect transmission.

16) Communications Cost-Reducing Functions

Relay Transmission Request


Relay Transmission Request is the bridging of transmissions
to several destinations via an intermediate (relay) station. If
the destinations to which you intend to transmit are far, this
function allows you to cut down the communication costs. You
can organise groups of stations, each consisting of one relay
station and several destinations.

faxes during the night or early in the morning when telephone charges are at discount rates. You can specify the timer-on time
in the range of up to 24 hours. The date cannot be specified. You can specify the time in minutes and hours. Up to 21 Timer TX
that are made up of 20 normal TX and 1 Polling RX can be specified.

17) Other Transmission/Reception Functions


Memory Transmission (Default)
With Memory Transmission, all pages being sent are first scanned and stored in memory before transmission. The document is
automatically numbered by total page number, and the images on the first page are shown on a communication results report.
However, when a large number of pages are sent or when the images on the originals are sent at high resolution, the machine is
automatically set to Memory TX unless Quick Memory RX is specified.

Quick Memory Transmission


In this transmission method, a facsimile is sent as soon as each
page is scanned. This allows documents to be sent without
exceeding memory capacity in the case of sending a large
number of pages. In the case of the Quick Memory RX, the
Memory on the screen remains unchanged. You can place the total number of pages on each page of the fax for Quick
Memory Transmission. It is useful for the recipient, so that they can make sure that all pages of the fax have been received.

40

4. Features and Functions

Manual Transmission
This operation is performed when sending documents and confirming the status of the receiving machine.
Restored Transmission
When Memory Transmission is selected, documents sent to a remote unit that is busy or otherwise unavailable will be stored in
memory for a fixed period of time, and the Re-Tx icon will be indicated on the JOB LIST screen. Documents stored in memory
can be selected and sent again to the same remote station or to a different remote station.
* Restored Transmission is only possible when Memory Transmission is set.
Polling Transmission/Reception
Polling Transmission enables the C352/C300 to scan a document and store it in the hard disk drive until a destination sends a
polling command, which causes transmission of the stored document. The document which directed Polling Transmission is
stored in the Polling TX User Box of the System User Box, and transmission is started by a polling command from the
reception side. Polling Transmission has Polling TX which accumulates documents to the Polling TX User Box, and Bulletin
Polling TX which accumulates documents to the Bulletin Board User Box. The recipient bears the cost of the transmission.

18) Line Setting


Overseas TX
When calling a location with poor communications conditions, the Overseas Communications mode sets the data transfer rate
to a slower speed (using a lower band rate). Overseas telephone numbers, including the country code, can be registered using
the Program and Address Book functions.
V.34 OFF
V.34 is a communication mode used by the Super G3 fax. When a destination or the C352/C300 is connected to a line by way
of extension exchange equipment, you may not be able to communicate with the Super G3 depending on line conditions.
In such a case, we recommend that you transmit by selecting V.34 OFF to set the Super G3 mode off. The V.34 mode will be
resumed automatically on completion of transmission.
ECM OFF
Transmission can be made with ECM disabled. If there are many line disturbances, the communication time may be a little bit
longer with ECM enabled than with ECM disabled. Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a mode of transmission with error
correction established by ITU-T (International Telecommunications Union). Fax machines equipped with the ECM feature can
communicate with each other and can confirm that the data transmission is free of errors. Thus, communication can be made
free from disturbances due to line noises, etc. The C352/C300 employs ECM for transmission unless you disable it.

19) Supporting SIP, the Next-Generation Signalling Protocol


SIP-compliant
fax machine

SIP stands for Session Initiation Protocol, an international


standard signalling protocol developed by IETF (the Internet
Engineering Task Force). The signalling protocol is a
mechanism for communications equipment on an IP (Internet
Protocol) network to initiate call processing functions.
SIP-compliant fax machines can send and receive faxes over
IP networks, instead of using conventional voice telephone
networks. Just like PCs and IP phones, SIP-compliant fax
machines can also be connected to a LAN. This helps to reduce
communication expenses.

Complete Erasure of Data


2) Erasing Data (after Each Job)
The C352/C300 sets itself apart by deleting not only management information, but any related image and other recoverable
data as well. Conventional MFPs typically fail to delete image data, which can be recovered. This is a serious risk to information
leakage. Butafter copying, printing, scanning, faxing, or

3) Deleting Data (Prior to Disposing or Relocating of the Machine)


Prior to the C352/C300s relocation or disposal, random data is written over all previous data on the hard disk drive for
deletion, making it completely unreadable. The erased data cant be recovered even with decoding software. This function can
be used in Administrator mode. The Administrator can select from 8 different deletion patterns.

4) Secure Print Function
You can set a password as a security lock for important
documents that you don't want others to read, such as job
estimates and personnel notices. Protected documents cannot
be output until the user enters the password at the control panel,
ensuring that they are read and received only by the intended
people.

5) Protecting the Data of Individual Departments


The C352/C300 can be set to prevent access to data unless the
department name and eight-digit password are entered.

6) User Authentication Function


An authentication function based on servers such as the
Active Directory service lets you permit or restrict the use
of C352/C300 functions. Even if your network has no server,
the C352/C300s own built-in authentication system allows
you to set privileges for copying, printing, scanning, and
faxing for each individual person.
Authentication

External Server Function


Active Directory server

You can easily acquire authentication data by accessing the


Active Directory server, which manages user and computer
information on the network, Novell's directory system or
NTLM.

Novell's directory system


NTLM

User ID and password input

Built-in Authentication Function


While the previous C350 used a network server for
authentication, the C352/C300 has a user registration and
authentication function built right into the MFP unit. This
makes it easy for the Administrator to permit or restrict
individual employee use of C352/C300 functions, such as the
Box, scan, copy, print and fax functions.

7) Hard Disk Drive Password Lock


By using unique compression technology, the data accumulated and stored on the hard disk drive is extremely difficult to
analyse. Furthermore, a password-protected lock can be applied to the hard disk drive, preventing readability even if the drive
is removed from the C352/C300.

8) Protecting Against Unauthorised Equipment Use


If the correct authentication number is not entered within three consecutive attempts, the C352/C300 locks itself to prevent
unauthorised use. Likewise, the C352/C300 locks if the incorrect administrator number and personal identification number are
entered a total of three times. The C352/C300 also locks if the correct department name and password are not entered within
three consecutive tries, or if the correct secure print number is not entered within three consecutive attempts.
The number of attempts can be changed. (The default setting is three attempts.)

4. Features and Functions

9) Encrypting Data on the Hard Disk Drive


When the encryption board is mounted between the hard disk drive and the communications path, the data is automatically
encrypted or decrypted as it is written to or read from the hard disk drive. When the encryption function is enabled, all of the
data in the hard disk drive is encrypted using the Advanced Encryption Standard (fixed). Since all segments of the hard disk
drive are encrypted, the data can no longer be read if the encryption settings are altered. For this reason, the user (system
administrator) must reformat the hard disk drive when altering the encryption settings.

* Optional Security Kit SC-503 is required.


10) Copy Protection
When a document is either printed or copied, the C352/C300 offers a selection of concealed
security watermarks, such as Confidential, that identify the printouts as reprints. To deter
copying by unauthorised people, the watermark becomes visible upon re-copying a
watermarked document. The C352/C300 watermark menu has several phrases and patterns,
or the administrator can create and register a custom pattern. The security watermark is also
effective when documents are copied on another brand of equipment. Watermarks cannot be
added to documents printed from a Box. This security function is a standard feature of the
C352/C300. The Copy Protection Utility must be used to register a custom watermark pattern.

Network Security
12) Network Authentication
The network authentication function uses the Active Directory service, Novell's directory system or NTLM to permit or restrict
access to the C352/C300 through the network.

13) SMTP Authentication for E-Mail Distribution


The C352/C300 supports SMTP authentication when using Scan to E-Mail. This function strengthens protection against spamming
and computer viruses by letting you use an e-mail server equipped with an authentication function. To prevent improper use of
the e-mail server when sending mail, users must enter both an ID number and a password.

14) Encrypt PDF


An RC4-encrypted PDF file can be created during document scanning. Since password authentication is required to open this
encrypted PDF, it enables the safe storage and transmission of confidential documents. Detailed encryption settings can be
made for creating encrypted PDFs.

Creating Encrypted PDFs and Making Encryption Settings


Select whether to encrypt the PDF file created during
document scanning. RSA Corporation's RC4 Security is used
for encryption, and the encryption level can be set to Low
(40 bits) or High (128 bits). Next, set a Password (for
opening the document) or Permission (an authorisation
password), or both. When a Password is set, password
authentication will be required to open the document. When
Permission is set, detailed permission settings for printing,
copying and data editing can be set.

15) Encrypting Communication Data


The C352/C300 uses SSL/TLS encryption for the data that it exchanges over networks, to protect confidential data from
eavesdropping, tampering and unauthorised access.
When the C352/C300 is used as a server, SSL/TLS encryption is used for the following.
--- Web Server
--- Open API

- PageScope Web Connection


- PageScope Data Administrator
- Copy Protection Utility
- Font Management Utility
- Print Status Notifier, etc.

--- IPP
--- TCP Socket Interface
- PageScope Box Operator
- HDD/Real Mode TWAIN
- PageScope Job Spooler
- HDD Backup Utility
When the C352/C300 is used as a client, the following is SSL/TLS encrypted.
--- LDAP Address Retrieval
--- SMTP
--- POP

What are SSL and TLS?


SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a protocol that is used for encrypting data to prevent electronic eavesdropping. SSL was
first proposed to enable secure Internet communications by Netscape Communications, which developed the protocol up
to Version SSL 3.0. It was then standardised by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) and released in the RFC2246
definition of TLS (Transport Layer Security) 1.0. As a result, SSL and TLS have different names, but their algorithms are
essentially the same. In Internet applications, there is a tendency to use SSL 3.0 as the standard rather than TLS 1.0, and
they are often referred to collectively as SSL/TLS, without differentiating between them.

16) IP Filtering
The C352/C300 can be set to reject access from terminals
with unregistered IP addresses. This prevents unauthorised
access from equipment outside the network.

Konica Minolta has developed a new, high-speed sheet-through ADF.


It offers a significantly faster scanning speed at 65 pages per minute for
single-sided black-and-white scanning and 50 pages (A4/300dpi) per minute
for single-sided colour scanning. The system can even accommodate
postcard-size paper, and scan both thin and thick paper, ranging in thickness
from 35 to 210g/m2, at the same speed as plain paper. The scanner glass
features a dirt-resistant coating to prevent adhesion of sticky dust particles.
The step sheet prevents originals from making direct contact with the scanner
glass while passing, thus keeping the glass surface clean and free of dust.
The ADF is also equipped with Konica Minolta's original dust reduction
function, which slides the scanner glass back and forth to remove dust from
the glass surface. This gives Konica Minolta one of the industry's highest
levels of streak noise suppression, while ensuring extra quiet operation.

Scanner Glass Movement Control


Normal mode (high-speed mode)

Each time the power is turned on and following each print job, the
scanner glass moves over its full motion range to enable the step sheet
to remove any dust that has fallen onto the glass surface. During each
print job, the scanner glass makes small movements after each scan to
minimise the generation of streaks caused by dust.
Dust reduction mode (selected on the control panel)

In this mode, the scanner glass moves over its full range after each
scan during a print job, thus further reducing the possibility of
streaks caused by dust.

on the number of output bins, this function also lets you sort
large-volume jobs. Theres no more need for troublesome,
time-consuming manual sorting.

Crisscross sorting

8 Image Quality
1) Four High-Speed Vertical Engines
The C352/C300's four drum units (one each for the Y, M, C
and K colours) and twin-beam laser units are positioned
horizontally. This allows the Y, M, C and K colours to be
processed simultaneously, improving operation speed.
The vertical layout of the laser units helps save space. A Konica
Minolta original engine layout that positions the laser units at
the bottom and the drum units at the top contributes to faster
first copy times.
In addition, the C352/C300's tandem system performs the
transfer process in one operation, as opposed to the four steps
(one each for C, M, Y and K) required in the previous system.
The faster image forming process achieves outstanding output

5) Image Recognition Technology


Character Zone Micro-Separation
This technology helps achieve sharper reproduction by separating each character into
zones. The new image-processing ASIC gives the C352/C300 improved zone separation
performance compared to the C450, allowing the C352/C300 to distinguish even super
fine lines in characters. The new technology also improves the clarity of characters on
halftone backgrounds, such as maps.
Character zone micro-separation technology distinguishes the outer edges, contour edges,
interior space, fine lines and super fine lines making up each character, and it detects
black characters, coloured characters, and halftone dots separately. The most appropriate
compensation processing is then applied to achieve optimal output. When making multiplegeneration copies of a copy, this technology minimises blurriness and smear to maintain
clear text.

4. Features and Functions

RG Layer Separation
Here, layers refer to the images separated from the input image, according to the red and green colour information. By judging the
colour of each dot, every CMYK dot on a colour original can be identified accurately, resulting in more precise colour determination.
A smoothing process is usually applied to halftone dot areas to prevent moirs. But because smoothing tends to blur characters on
halftone dot backgrounds, it is important that character zones are separated from halftone dot areas with high accuracy. The reproducibility
of text on halftone dot backgrounds is improved by increasing character detection accuracy and applying an emphasis processing to
sharpen the characters.
The C352/C300 separates the input image into two layersR and Gand performs isolated-point judgment for each. Even if
isolated points of two or more RGB colours overlap, the isolated-point supplementation rate in a halftone dot original is 100%.
Subscanning Colour Deviation Compensation
During scanning but prior to the character zone micro-separation, the RGB colour deviation generated in the sub-scanning
direction is suppressed. This optimises the colour/black separation based on colour/black-and-white majority-rule processing,
greatly improving colour character determination and thus improving reproducibility of black characters.

Colour/Black-and-White Majority-Rule Processing


The C352/C300 better identifies black or dark
coloured text based on pixel counting. Use of a
5 5 grid greatly improves the accuracy with
which the majority-rule text colour discrimination
system distinguishes black text from dark
coloured text.

6) Image Reproduction Technology


Dither (Error Diffusion) Method/Screen Method
The C352/C300 uses two methods to recreate images during copying. One, called the screen method, consists of two processes:
a line process that expresses images using lines (similar to the scanning lines on a TV), and a dot process that uses dots similar
to those on printed materials. Both can render gradations beautifully.
In photo mode, the C352/C300 uses the dot-line screen method to apply dots to highlight areas, and lines to areas with medium
to high density. In the screen method, however, characters and photo images are processed the same way. Because the characters
are output in the form of lines or dots, sharp reproduction is not possible in some cases.
The other imaging method, called error diffusion, compensates for this drawback. This method, which expresses the image
using fine dots (600 dpi), improves the reproducibility of black characters and characters on halftone dot backgrounds, and
sharpens character edges. Because
characters are crisper and truer to the
Two screen methods used

original, text documents are easier to

read. This process is applied to all copy
modes except Photo Mode.
The zone judgment process also
Dither (Error Diffusion)
distinguishes photos, graphics and

characters, and applies the most
suitable compensation method to each.
This achieves finer grain and smoother
gradation and minimises moirs and
jagged edges to produce clear, beautiful
copy images.

4. Features and Functions

Addition of Density Table for Black Characters


Since the input data for copying is RGB, it is converted to CMYK data by the colour conversion process. In this process, black
characters are separated into the four CMYK colours. However, printing this four-colour data without further processing would
lead to colour shifts, greatly degrading character reproducibility. To prevent this, the colour data for black characters is replaced
with only the K (black) colour. The table used for this replacement process is called the density table for black characters.
However, if only one density table for black characters is used, as it was in previous models, the reproduction of colour and
B/W characters cannot be separately controlled. For example, if you want to achieve blacker reproduction of characters in
black-and-white copying, the black characters in colour copying become too dark due to the effect of the black characters in
B/W copying. With only one table, the reproducibility of either B/W or colour characters had to be sacrificed. The C352/C300
uses two density tables for black charactersone for B/W copying and one for colour copyingto provide ideal control in
copying and scanning. This gives the C352/C300 superb character reproducibility in both colour and B/W copying, and also
improves gradation and compensates black characters without affecting colour images.

7) 2-Colour Copy/Print Capability


You can set a 2-colour copy mode according to your original.
Choose from 6 colours (Y, M, C, R, G or B) to add with the
colour black. The C352/C300 then distinguishes the colour
areas and black areas on a colour original.

8) Single-Colour Copy Mode


You can make single-colour copies, in any one of 21 preset
colours, from a colour or black-and-white original. Use this
feature to give a document more flair and impact than a
conventional black-and-white document, while reining in
running costs.

9) Map Mode
This mode vastly improves the C352/C300s recognition of
text on halftone dot backgrounds.The result is much easierto-read text when reproducing maps, graphs, and other
documents with background patterns.

10) Photo Mode


The C352/C300 detects whether an original is text or a
photograph, and then scans it using the mode that provides
the best results. In Photo Mode, the C352/C300 gives colours
rich gradation.

RGB applications, such as Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.
Fiery ColorWise automatically recognises PANTONE and other spot colour names, and selects the best CMYK match for printing.
Fiery ColorWise uses ICC profiles that give you accurate simulations over source or colour spaces.
The Color Editor lets you edit simulations and output profiles. Edited profiles can be uploaded to PCs or Macs and downloaded to other
devices to give you the closest possible match between devices.
Use the C352/C300's built-in scanner as a measuring device for colour calibration to achieve stable scanned image quality and grey
balance adjustment.

Print Grey as Black


The printer can be set in such a way that it uses only the black ink for
printing grey colours on original documents that are made up of a
combination of CMY. This results in clearer greys on prints and also
reduces printing costs.

Spot On
Existing special colours can be edited using CMYK. Original colours
can also be produced. The spot colour dictionary can be edited and
new data can be registered. The colour search function allows intuitive
editing of the dictionary based on brightness and colour saturation, or
with numerical values. The optional EFI Densitometer ED-100 lets
you directly import measured colour values into the Spot On program
to register new spot colour data.

4. Features and Functions

3) Fiery Command WorkStation 4.5


The Command WorkStation is an intuitive graphical user interface for
managing jobs, print queues, and workflow from a centralised location
with job control functionality, security, and a job log. Users can now
efficiently and jointly manage basic settings and job management
functions using a network Macintosh or Windows PC. You can perform
a variety of jobs such as replacing, deleting or rearranging pages, as
well as saving data on the controller and using RIPped data thumbnails
that show up on the PC monitor.

4) Fiery WebTools 3.0


This function, with its newly designed interface, allows you to easily check, control, and manipulate the print job status on a web
browser. It enables users to save scanned jobs to any network location and to retrieve the entire job or a specific page.
Home

MyDocs v1

Provides the Fiery's basic status and functions.


Used for the installation of client tools by users.
Authorises users to access mailboxes and allows
downloading of print jobs into the Fiery.
Configure
Enables the system administrator to make
settings in the Fiery.
Users and Groups Controls user authentication.

5) Fiery Remote Scan 5.4


This function lets you use the ADF of the C352/C300 for continuous scanning. It can also obtain the e-mail address of the transmitting
destination based on LDAP. And it supports user authentication and the 200/400/600-dpi resolution modes of Internet Fax.
WebScan

Enables users to save scanned jobs to any network location with your web browser.
WebScan also lists the information such as file name, date resolution, and file size.

Scan and Send


to Mailbox

Enables users to save scanned files in up to 10,000 possible mailboxes on a hard disk drive.
It's an ideal way for users to easily retrieve jobs.

TWAIN Plug-in

Acquires scanned jobs directly from TWAIN Plug In-supported software like Adobe PhotoShop or Acrobat.

6) Fiery Graphic Arts (Optional)


Without trapping

Auto Trapping
Since the Fiery is installed together with the Fiery Graphic Arts Package, it
automatically applies trapping even if an office application that is not equipped
with DTP functions is used to produce output. This is especially handy for ondemand or short-run jobs.

Hot Folders
Hot Folders automatically handle complex output processing.
Simply drag and drop the target file into a specified folder. Job
Tickets, which describe output settings such as trapping, separation
and imposition, eliminate the need for cumbersome option settings
and imposition processing for each output, thus streamlining the
printing workflow. Previously accessible by Windows only, it is
now also available for Macintosh computers.

4. Features and Functions

Master file

7) Variable Data Printing FreeForm 2.1


This enables free-style document creation to meet various needs
by combining data for each purpose.
Customised printing can be easily performed by using a
combination of repeatedly used master data (often a document's
background or layout format), with variable data in which some
of the content is changed for a specific purpose (often text,
illustrations, etc.).
Seamless document creation is possible, regardless of the type
of application (software) in which the original was created. Any
front-end application can be used with FreeForm to create master
templates, as well as variable information.

Database file

The data transfer speed and RIP speed are shortened by processing
the master data and variable data separately.
The master data is RIPped only once and can be stored and reused,
thus saving printing time.
When frequently used data is saved as master page data, it is
amazingly quick to create and output a large volume of this data.

8) Security
LDAP User Authentication
The LDAP user authentication function, which comes standard
with the Fiery, lets you authenticate not only local users but also
LDAP users (LDAP groups). In addition to the conventional setup
functions, it also allows the user to select a new authentication
system for the LDAP server.

LDAP User Client not yet logged in to the domain

SSL/TLS Support (IPP/LDAP)


This creates a secure connection for transmitting data between client and server. Certificate Management allows the Fiery administrator
to add, load, or browse digital certificates that were created by a trusted authority using private keys. The administrator can also assign
or associate an available digital certificate to a particular service, such as a web service, and add trusted certificates created by a trusted
authority. Critical Information Encryption ensures that all passwords and related configuration information are secure. The encryption
method used is based on commonly accepted industry standards.

The image also can be enlarged four times both for the Copy operation window and for the Fax/Scan operation window.

Improved visibility via higher contrast

4) Two-Tone Colour Scheme


Higher Visibility for Easy Operation
To reinforce its image as a core machine for any office, the C352/C300
has been designed using a two-tone colour. Furthermore, the contrasting
colours, especially around the paper feed, paper discharge, and control
panel (ADF, Multiple Bypass Tray and discharge tray), improve visibility
of output paper and enhance control panel usability.

Low-contrast colour

Ecologically Minded
In keeping with our environmentally-friendly mindset, the C352/C300
uses easily recyclable materials in some of its dark-coloured external
parts. And, as we look to the future, we hope to conserve even more
resources by further increasing the amount of recycled materials we
utilise.

5) Semi-transparent ADF Paper Path


The C352/C300 uses a semi-transparent material for the Automatic
Document Feeders paper path. This makes it easier to check for
originals, and speeds up the removal of paper jams.

6) Sure-Grip Handles for Convenient Paper Refills

7) Front Access Structure

To achieve better
leverage, the C352/
C300s paper drawer
handles allow users
to grip from either

Eco Mark (for Japanese Market)
EMSD Energy Label (for Hong Kong Market)
Green Procurement Program (for Japanese Market)
Environmental Friendliness
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) is supported (for European Market).

2) Power Saving Modes


The C352/C300 automatically switches to a power saving mode (Low-Power Mode/Sleep
Mode) when it has remained unused for a preset length of time. The time period for
switching can be set as desired, to improve operating ease. This environmentally friendly
mode cuts down on power consumption.
Default setting: The C352/C300 automatically switches to Low-Power Mode if the
machine is not used for 15 minutes, and to Sleep Mode if it is not used for 30 minutes. The
setting can be changed in the Administrator Setting.
Power Save key: Pressing this key immediately switches the C352/C300 into the LowPower Mode or Sleep Mode. The mode can be changed in the Administrator Setting. The
default setting is Low-Power Mode.
Restore: Low-Power Mode/Sleep Mode is cancelled when the Power Save key or any of
the control keys is pressed, or when paper is placed into the ADF.

3) Promoting Circulatory Recycling


The external parts of Konica Minolta components are designed to be recovered and recycled for partial use in new products.
This form of circulatory recycling is one of the ways in which we work to save the Earths precious natural resources.

4) Production at ISO-Certified Factories


The C352/C300 is produced at an ISO-certified factory.

4. Features and Functions

13 Servicing Ease
1) CSRC (CS Remote Care)
Fax Modem Version
CSRC connects the MFP to the Service Centre and checks the machine status via Fax modem.

E-mail Version (Firmware Update Function)


When a download notification is received from CSRC by e-mail, the MFP accesses the specified FTP site and begins firmware
updating. CSRC uses e-mail to connect the MFP to the Service Centre and check the machine status. When the MFP receives
the e-mail from the Service Centre, it downloads the firmware data from the Internet ISW (In-System Writer) server. Service
personnel may also download the firmware via FTP by operating the MFP.

2) TTL Counter E-mail Send


E-mail sample

The C352/300 e-mails the total counter data (B/W and colour)
to the Service Centre. This function is set in the Administrator
Setting (count time duration and e-mail address) by the service
engineer after obtaining consent from the user. This function
helps to reduce service costs.

[Send Date], 06/02/15
[Total Counter], 00110006
[Total Color Counter], 00074413
[Total Black Counter], 00035728

3) Quicker Delivery and Setup


The C352/C300s IR (scanning section) and engine are combined into a single unit, reducing the time it takes to assemble the
stand and set up the unit. Stand assembly time has been reduced from the 4.5 minutes required for the CF3102.
C352/C300

CF3102

4) Reduced Weight
We reduced the thickness of the frame plates from 1.6mm to between 1.0mm and 1.2mm. This helped us slash the weight of the
main unit from previous models to around 100kg. The C352/C300 is about 12% lighter than the C350.

Easier Maintenance and Service


5) Easier to Change Toner Cartridges and Central Transfer Belts
In previous models, you had to access the toner disposal box and central transfer belts from the left side of the unit. This meant
that the finishing unit had to be moved every time these parts needed to be serviced or replaced.
The C352/C300 is easier to service. You can access the machine from the front to replace materials, or from the right to remove
paper jams or replace the fixing unit and central transfer unit.

74

4. Features and Functions

6) Simple Imaging Unit (IU) Replacement


The drive coupling section uses a flexible joint, making it easy to replace the IU. No special tools are required. In the CF3102, the IU
was protected by a cover, but in the C352/C300 the fumes are removed more effectively, minimising contamination and eliminating
the need for a cover. Also, the C352/C300s smaller IU unit is easier to replace and theres no need for cover storage space.
C352/C300

CF3102

7) Oil-less Belt Fixing System


An oil-less belt fixing system with excellent heat response reduces the C352/C300s size and speeds up operation. Since this system
offers twice the service life as a roller system, it also reduces the frequency of unit replacement.

8) Improved Function Extendability


The printer and MFP are integrated in the C352/C300, and a new hardware configuration makes it possible to extend particular
functions. Extension boards for the fax and other functions slide out for easy removal and installation.
