bEST Personal Copy Colour scanning anywhere and direct colour printing bEST Personal Copy connects MFPs and printers that share the same network. On the basis of bEST OpenAPI, Konica Minolta’s proprietary software technology, bEST Personal Copy enables documents to be “copied” from one device to another. With this technology, colour originals can be scanned on a monochrome MFP with colour scanning capability and output on a colour printer in a single operation step.
Whatever the setup, users of bEST Personal Copy benefit from the added flexibility of printing their colour scans in colour on their chosen output device. The application is of particular interest for office environments where central high-volume monochrome MFPs serve several departments that each operates a smallish colour printer. bEST Personal Copy helps businesses optimize their scanning and printing infrastructure without investing heavily into additional output devices.
