2 LINE-UP APPLICATIONS PRODUCTION PRINTING 2 INNOVATE AND UPDATE YOUR PRODUCTION ROUTINES Work routines involving the creation, submission, production, distribution, managing and archiving of printed information can be cumbersome and time-consuming. Your ultimate goal must be to protect your margins by enhancing the efficiency of your production floor and increasing your overall productivity. Ongoing digitisation has made print preparation and production processes faster and easier, relieving your IT staff and print operators of many mundane and repetitive tasks. But true efficiency for your entire production facility can only be achieved with customised solutions that seamlessly integrate innovative hardware and intelligent software applications. Streamline your production processes and enhance your overall efficiency with the creation and implementation of newly designed workflows! In addition to our comprehensive range of in- and output systems, Konica Minolta offers you an extensive portfolio of software applications that not only optimise existing structures and workflows but enable you to create and set up entirely new work cycles.

4 User & Cost LINE-UP APPLICATIONS PRODUCTION PRINTING 4 COLOUR COVERAGE ANALYSER Producing documents with the maximum of economy is the best way for a commercial printer to save money and secure the highest possible margins. The Colour Coverage Analyser estimates the amount of toner or ink required for a specific print job and shows the coverage for different printers and technologies such as laser, inkjet or offset. The application makes it also possible to compare two printers, taking into account their contract data and consumable costs. Thus, the Colour Coverage Analyser reliably indicates the device offering the best conditions to print the job. All costs for ink/toner, parts, manpower, etc. can be preset for calculation, as well as different contract offerings (e.g. all-inclusive without toner) Comparison of two systems of the same kind, or digital print devices vs. offset Estimation of ink/toner coverage for print jobs Supports the ICC profile to enhance the coverage calculation for specific output devices or special print simulations Data export of calculated values Cost estimation to produce print jobs in the most economical way Indication of which device offers best value for the print job Easy access to estimated ink/toner consumption Simple integration into established colour workflows Connectivity to business application for further analysis by CSV files CCA virtual printer Direct print ICC profile Print cost data Paper cost data Print job data processing/ LAB conversion CMYK COVERAGE VALUES Data export Print cost calculation TOTAL PRINT COST PRINT COST COMPARISON PRINTER 1 VS.

5 Device LINE-UP APPLICATIONS PRODUCTION PRINTING 5 CS REMOTE CARE CS Remote Care (CSRC) can save busy offices from wasting time just to keep the printing system running smoothly and let them focus on their core work and tasks. To guarantee the reliable operation of output devices in CRD and commercial print environments, Konica Minolta has developed the CS Remote Care concept. It serves as a highly flexible remote monitoring system offering proactive connection to all automatic services, providing permanent state-of-the-art Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication between the output device and the Konica Minolta service organisation. CS Remote Care means less maintenance and helps to avoid disruptive downtime. Administration and status analysis through Web front-end Performance monitoring of all included output devices Supply management ensures timely delivery of consumables in exactly the required quantities Proactive transmission of events, e.g. counter readings or service notification, directly from the output device to the Konica Minolta service organisation in real time Can be adapted to many applications hosted at customer site already (e.g. SiteAudit) to transfer events Customised secure connection of installed output device to Konica Minolta service organisation via GPRS, GSM, or fax GPRS Modem will cache latest data from MFP so data can be retrieved also when MFP is switched off Controlled communication data volumes Outstanding features: The remote panel feature offers additional services for customers and service partners to become more familiar with handling Konica Minolta products and therefore more productive day by day The firmware update feature enables the customer and the service to always be up to date and provides additional new functions on the MFP without the need for a service visit and/or downtime during business hours Direct transmission of any technical problem from the output device to the service organisation makes timeconsuming service calls superfluous Due to automated logistics, regular checking and ordering of consumables is no longer necessary Taking counter readings and forwarding them to the Konica Minolta service becomes a thing of the past Detailed analysis and direct transmission of any output device s problem determines whether the fault can be rectified remotely or whether an on-site service is required CUSTOMER KONICA MINOLTA Logistics Service Centre GPRS module/ GSM Request GPRS module/ GSM Fax Service/ maintenance, consumables requirements, alarm messages and counters Fax CSRC server Backend system (ERP)
