When it comes to classroom technology, New Jersey schools need more than just reliable printers, they need secure, fast, and easy-to-manage devices that integrate seamlessly into their existing IT infrastructure. That’s exactly why so many districts are turning to the Konica Minolta bizhub 4050i.
This compact multifunction printer (MFP) is more than a copier, it’s a powerful tool designed for schools that rely on quick printing, fast scanning, and secure document handling. For IT professionals, it offers seamless integration with PaperCut print management, advanced security, and the management tools needed to simplify support across multiple classrooms or campuses.
Fast Printing and Scanning for Busy Classrooms
Teachers don’t have time to wait for handouts or student worksheets. The bizhub 4050i delivers:
• 42 pages per minute print speed
• First page out in 4.8 seconds
• Seamless duplex scanning for quick digital capture
That means lesson plans, exams, and parent letters can be ready in moments, while scanning directly to email, network folders, or cloud services keeps digital workflows moving smoothly.
Designed for School IT Teams
IT administrators in New Jersey schools know the challenge: supporting hundreds of users with limited staff. The bizhub 4050i helps by offering:
• Centralized management for easy monitoring and updates across fleets
• Universal print drivers that reduce compatibility headaches
• Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and USB connectivity to fit into any classroom setup
• 5 GB memory and a 256 GB SSD for reliable performance under heavy workloads
For IT departments tasked with keeping things running smoothly, the device is built to “just work” day after day.
Seamless Integration with PaperCut
Most New Jersey schools already rely on PaperCut for education to manage print policies, control costs, and track student printing. The bizhub 4050i integrates perfectly, allowing IT teams to:
• Authenticate users before printing (reducing waste and protecting sensitive student data)
• Track printing by department, grade level, or user to stay within budget
• Enable secure print release so documents aren’t left on the printer tray unattended
• Apply rules like duplex-only printing or page limits to encourage eco-friendly habits
For IT professionals, this makes the bizhub 4050i a natural fit into the existing PaperCut environment, ensuring consistent print governance across the district.
Now Supports Google OAuth 2.0
One of the biggest challenges for schools using Google Workspace (Gmail) has been the move away from basic username/password authentication for scanning to email. The bizhub 4050i now supports Google OAuth 2.0 (with the latest firmware update), allowing seamless and secure authentication when scanning directly to email.
For IT administrators, this means:
• No more workarounds for Gmail SMTP—OAuth 2.0 is fully supported.
• Safer, modern authentication that aligns with Google’s security standards.
• Future-proof compliance as older “less secure app” logins are retired.
This is especially valuable for districts standardizing on Google Workspace, ensuring the bizhub 4050i integrates smoothly with existing email infrastructure while maintaining compliance with school security policies.
