Version 2.007/01/05 magicolor 5400 series A closer look
The magicolor 5400 series is the result of Konica Minolta’s commitment to be a company that constantly brings new surprises to customers, through its unique and innovative products and services, by mobilizing its broad technological capabilities in the field of imaging. This presentation will highlight some of the revolutionary technologies inside the magicolor 5400 series and the benefits these technologies bring to customers.
Belt fusing system • For the magicolor 5400 series, Konica Minolta have developed a revolutionary belt fusing system, which dramatically reduces the warm-up time of the printer 180 sec 0:34:81 3:11:59 35 sec magicolor 5400 series:35 seconds magicolor 2300 series:180 seconds
High-tech material belt The belt is made of a material called “POLYIMIDE” Polyimide:- high-tech material, developed by NASA- heatproof, long-life, thin and durable
Fuser blade The fusing unit contains a special-shaped “nipping” blade, that allows wider and smoother heat contact area
Prismlaser print head • All models in the magicolor 5400 series contain a high-tech print head called Prismlaser • This Prismlaser is basically a mirror that combines 4 cylinder lenses into one element • The laser beam comes from a registration-free laser module • This measures the temperature of the laser diode and adjusts the registration dynamically • The laser beam is transmitted to a light & compact scanning lens • Made of resin • Free curved surface

Polymerised toner • Like most Konica Minolta products, the magicolor 5400 series use special polymerised toner, produced in-house • Polymerised toner is essential to the reproduction of high-quality images: • The small diameter and uniform shape of these toner particles offer superior concealment, which means space previously left between each toner particle has now been eliminated. As a result, the units provide consistent, high-quality images with improved reproduction of text and fine lines. • Plus, since polymerised toner needs no oil for fusing, it produces natural-looking low-gloss colour images and documents that can be written on as well as allow notes to be attached to, and are therefore suitable for business use. • Moreover, smaller toner particles have a better transfer rate to paper, which thus reduces the amount of toner used in image reproductions. • Polymerised toner is also friendlier to our environment. It requires less energy in its manufacturing process than do conventional toners that use traditional kneading and pulverising methods. What's more, the amount of CO2, NOx and SOx emissions that cause global warming and acid rain are cut by approximately 30%.

Konica Minolta Raster Language • The magicolor 5430DL and 5440DL use Konica Minolta’s own Konica Minolta Raster Langue • This is an enhanced version of GDI • KMRL supports various environments: • Windows • Mac • Linux • KMRL offers hi-speed color graphics with a low-cost controller • KMRL will be used by all DL-products
Special note • Konica Minolta Raster Language does support certain versions of Mac-OS but it is not a PostScript or PCL driver • KMRL offers basic office functionality • Word processing • Emails • Spreadsheets • Presentations • It does not offer: • Color matching • Object segmentation • eAIDC (Automatic Image Density Calibration)
