Minolta® PagePro® 1350

Reference Info
Konica® Minolta® Printing Solutions announced the PagePro 1350W the newest additions to its line of affordable, monochrome laser printers. The PagePro 1350W prints at 21 pages per minute and has an introductory price of $179.99. It delivers high-resolution images at up to 1,200 x 1,200 dpi on page sizes up to 8.5" x 14". Its footprint is 15" wide that makes it a suitable choice for small offices or home offices that need high-speed laser printing in a minimum of space. A monthly duty cycle of 15,000 prints per month demonstrates the printer's capacity for handling any document production task likely to be encountered in the small business environment.

The PagePro 1350W is the first printer to bear the logo of the new Konica® Minolta® Printing Solutions and takes the place of the PagePro 1250W in the family of monochrome printers from Konica® Minolta® .

The PagePro 1350W is similar to the Epson EPL-6200 and 6200L in the UK and the Epson LP-2500 and LP-1400 in Japan. An Epson 6200 printer utilizes cartridges that look exactly like the 1350 cartridges. The Epsons have a slightly different green handle on the drum cartridge, it has a more aggressive mechanism than the Konica-Minoltas to keep the toner cartridge in place.

The PagePro 1350W includes a Status Display utility that provides more printer status information to the user than most typical printer-mounted control panel keypads. The Status Display installs automatically with the printer driver. Residing in the memory of the PC, the Status Display constantly monitors activity at the printer. It informs the user immediately if any problem should arise in the printer. The user can proactively check the level of remaining consumables (toner and imaging unit) through the Status Display. It also provides step-by-step instructions for replacing toner or adding paper, as well as a "Midnight Mode" setting that programs the PagePro 1350W for quieter operation at specified times.
