Konica Minolta C305 Parts & Supplies

The Konica Minolta LU-401 (also referred to by model code C305) is a high-density Large Capacity Unit (LCU) designed to provide a massive 4,000-sheet auxiliary paper reservoir for production-grade bizhub PRO systems. Optimized for standard office document production, the LU-401 features a high-reliability feeding mechanism that handles A4 or Letter-sized paper with minimal interruptions. This accessory is an essential component for central reprographics departments (CRD) and commercial print shops, as it more than doubles the standard on-board paper supply of the host engine. By reducing the frequency of paper loading and supporting long, unattended print runs, the LU-401 significantly enhances the overall productivity and uptime of the digital production workflow.
