Konica-Minolta magicolor 4750 – powerful color prints
The Konica-Minolta magicolor 4750 was introduced in the market as a substitute to the printers of the brand’s 4650 series. With the 4750 line of color printers, the company is targeting home users as well as small businesses, where economical yet quick prints are required without compromising on the finesse of the A4 size print. With the magicolor 4750, Konica-Minolta has basically focused on providing the qualities demanded by its target market in an ideal color printer.
For instance, the printer helps cut down spending on paper with its pre-installed duplex option that allows printing on both sides of the paper. The printer’s speed of 30 prints per minute (ppm) is also significantly greater than the 24 ppm produced by the previous versions. That stands true for both the magicolor 4750 and its monochromatic counterpart.
With these printers, Konica-Minolta has also introduced a number of user-friendly options. Although the printer is provided with an initial 250 sheets of paper in its lower tray, it can be increased to 750 sheets by adding an extra lower tray, which may add to the printer’s starting price. Adding an extra tray is especially recommended for those who need to print out standard A4, as well as legal sized documents.
The standard memory space provided is 256 MB, with the company scoring higher than its competitors since it does not keep pestering the users to upgrade to an increased memory capacity, which users may not even be in need of. The series is marketed with a processor of 800 MHz, while a room to add further 500MB of RAM is also provided.
Installing the printer’s driver in the computer is fairly easy and simple since the company has introduced a wizard that automatically finds the magicolor 4750 on the network and installs the required file in the users’ systems. Moreover, Konica-Minolta has done an impressive job in taking care of minor details like the quantity of ink and toner remaining in the printer. Users can also keep them updated about the status of a particular print command and the number of pages remaining in the printer.
The speed of the magicolor 4750 is remarkable. The printer can produce a document comprising 30 pages in exactly a minute, whether monochromatic or color. The duplex feature is a bonus for home users and small businesses as it helps in saving costs on paper. Although the printer may not be the best for photo printing; with magicolor 4750, Konica-Minolta has delivered on its promise of impeccable printing quality of both color and monochrome documents.
The magicolor 4750 series also scores in terms of it practicality as the printers are compact in size and easily portable. In fact, the 4750EN and 4750DN are the smallest color printing devices available at present. In essence, the present series is said to be 30 percent lighter than its predecessors. The compact size also signifies that since the users do not have to carry around larger components when moving the printer, it could mean an increased life for the printer.
