Abstract
Konica Minolta has launched the bizhub C368 series as new A3 color MFPs. As one important part of the product concept, various technologies contributing to the reduction of the environmental impact have been implemented to these successor models of the bizhub C364e series. This document explains the environmental load-reducing technologies achieving the top-class performance such as the increase in the usage of open-loop recycle material for exterior parts based on Konica Minolta's active promotion, the energy savings by the 0.5-watt sleep-mode, the decrease in the power consumption by a new fusing temperature control and the reduction of UFP emissions, which became an important topic in the European market in recent years.
