The same printing unit has been installed by Konica Minolta in two different printers, the Magicolor 2430DL and 2400W. The Desklaser model (DL) is available for a list price of 580 euros - the Windows printer 2400W costs, according to Konica Minolta 465 euros.
Both printers use the turret technology, which generates a noticeable chatter during printing. Up to five color pages and 20 black-and-white pages should be able to print the two small color lasers per minute - Druckerchannel has tested this information (see page 4 of this article). The paper cassette can hold 200 sheets at a time. A manual feeder does not exist. The five consumables (four times toner and one image drum) are the same for both printers.
The differences While the W (Windows) model is a GDI printer for which the manufacturer provides only Windows drivers (except NT4.0), the 2430DL (Desklaser) uses a Konica Minolta native raster language (Konica Minolta Raster Language). and also offers drivers for MacOS and Linux. A second 500-sheet cassette and a duplex unit that can automatically rotate the paper for double-sided printing in the printer are optional on the DL. The W model can not be upgraded with it.
The interface of the 2400W is a USB 2.0 port. The 2430DL also provides an Ethernet interface to easily integrate the printer into the network. Network installation is not hurdles-free - HP and Xerox network printers offer a much simpler solution.
As the first color laser known to us, the 2430DL offers a Pictbridge interface on the front. There the user can connect a compatible digital camera and print his pictures directly.
Druckerchannel Conclusion Both color lasers work approximately equally fast - the equipment is different. Both are solid and easy to handle. The printer costs measured by printer channel for text and color printing are favorable. The devices are recommended for those who have little space on their desks and occasionally want to print in color.
