Why offices choose the bizhub 5000i
The same simple reliability as the 4000i, built for the busier back office or print corner that needs a bit more speed and capacity.
Keeps up with a busier desk
50 pages a minute in mono, first page out in 7.5 seconds — enough headroom for a shared print corner without the queue building up.
Protected from the network in
SSL/TLS, HTTPS, 802.1x and IPsec support as standard, plus password-protected secure print and authentication by password, ID card or finger-vein scanner.
Built for higher volumes
Toner rated for up to 20,000 pages and a duty cycle up to 150,000 pages a month keep cost per page low even as volume grows.

bizhub 5000i — common questions
How much does the Konica Minolta bizhub 5000i cost in South Africa?
Pricing depends on your monthly print volume and whether you lease or buy outright. We quote both side by side so you can compare the total cost over the contract term. Send us your monthly page count and we’ll come back with a firm figure.
Can I lease the bizhub 5000i instead of buying it?
Yes — most of our customers lease, with the machine, toner and servicing bundled into a single monthly cost. We’ll quote lease and purchase side by side so you can compare the total cost over the term rather than just the upfront number.
What monthly print volume is the bizhub 5000i built for?
It suits busier back offices and print corners running around 10,000 pages a month, with headroom up to 150,000. If you’re printing less, the bizhub 4000i costs less to run; if you need touchscreen controls and higher speeds, look at the 4701i. Tell us your monthly page count and we’ll recommend honestly rather than overselling.
Does the bizhub 5000i scan or copy as well as print?
No — this is a dedicated print-only device. If you need scanning, copying or faxing from the same machine, our mono multifunction copiers cover the same speed range with those functions built in.
