The model at a glance
The Konica Minolta bizhub C258 is a professional A3 colour multifunction printer recommended for businesses, offices, professional practices, schools, public authorities, reception areas, administrative departments, sales departments, agencies and workgroups that need to print, copy and scan in colour in A3 format.
It is suited to colour business documents, text, invoices, contracts, quotations, presentations, charts, tables, product sheets, internal sales materials, simple brochures, lightweight flyers, booklets and documents with logos and images. Compared with models focused more exclusively on documents, such as many Kyocera models, it can also be a better choice for light graphics, presentations and office marketing materials, but it is not an advanced professional graphics production or high-volume copy-shop machine.
Print speed: up to 25 pages per minute in A4 format, in both colour and black and white. In A3 format, it reaches up to approximately 15 pages per minute.
Functions: printing, copying and scanning. Fax is optional, depending on the configuration installed on the machine.
Duplex: integrated automatic duplex for printing and copying, useful for saving paper and handling booklets, contracts, administrative files, sales proposals and business documents.
Print resolution: up to 1,200 x 1,200 dpi, with equivalent quality up to 1,800 x 600 dpi. Quality suitable for sharp text, professional documents, logos, charts, tables, simple images, presentations and lightweight marketing materials.
Supported formats: A6, A5, A4, A3, SRA3, custom sizes and banners up to approximately 1.2 metres via the bypass tray. It is therefore a professional A3 multifunction printer that can also handle media larger than standard A3.
Supported paper weights: 52 to 256 g/m² from the main trays and up to 300 g/m² from the multipurpose bypass tray. Suitable for office paper, letterhead, recycled paper, heavier media, lightweight card, labels and colour laser-compatible sales materials.

ADF: optional automatic document feeder. It can be configured with a RADF or Dual Scan ADF for up to 100 sheets, useful for multi-page copying and scanning, including duplex, depending on the installed configuration.
Connectivity: Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0 and USB Host. Wi-Fi is not integrated as standard; it is available as an option depending on the configuration.
Control panel: large 9" colour touchscreen with an intuitive tablet-style interface, convenient for copying, scanning, settings, the address book, user management, web functions, document workflows and confidential jobs.

Work volumes: recommended for offices with medium A3 and A4 colour volumes. It is suitable for those looking for a complete, robust and versatile multifunction printer for documents, presentations and light graphics, but should not be presented as a high-volume production machine.
