Konica Minolta MagiColor 2530dl
The Konica Minolta MagiColor 2530dl is another inexpensive color laser printer from the Japanese camera giant. It continues the line of good quality office machinery that it started a while ago, and just keeps in getting better. It builds on previous models, improving print quality, built quality and upgradeability options. It now has twice the memory, a decent 64Mb rather than the 32Mb of before.
This is a device that would suit a small or home office based business with low to moderate printing needs. Reliability is one of the mainstays of this machine. It can print good quality monochrome pages at up to 15 pages per minute at 600 dpi, and decent quality color ones at around 5 pages per minute. It supports Windows, Linux and Mac for true versatility and can be networked or run from USB.
The build quality is typical Konica, compact but sturdy with nothing that looks like it would fall off any time soon. The MagiColor 2530dl is supplied with a 200 sheet paper tray, with the option of increasing that to 500 with an extra tray purchase. Toner cartridges are easily replaceable after they have served their 4500 page yield, simply lift up the top, expose the carousel and change whichever one needs it. Replacements are reasonably priced at an approximate cost of $65 each.
The control panel is simple and straightforward with decent sized buttons and a clear LCD screen. There isn’t much for it to do though, as it’s far easier to use the PageScope software to control it from a PC. Connecting the printer to a network takes less than five minutes. In our tests we simply attached the cat5 cable to our router and the printer was discovered within seconds. It then made itself available to everyone on the test workgroup who could print as soon as they had the drivers. This ease of use is a hallmark of Konica. They try very hard to make their devices as simple to use and maintain as possible without compromising features.
The 2530dl is a solid performer. Ideal for the small or home business who wants a good quality multifunction printer at a decent price. Consumables are well priced and offer decent yield so the Konica Minolta MagiColor 2530dl won’t cost a fortune to own.
