What is Scan-to-WebDAV? 

–Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning 

–Publish content to an Internet Information Services (IIS) web server 

What ADVANTAGES does Scan-to-WebDAV offer? 

–More secure than Scan-to-FTP, the “traditional” method of uploading 

content on a web server

Scan-to-WebDAV vs. Scan-to-FTP 

Scan-to-FTP 

–Requires that you open additional ports on your firewall, increasing 

the attack surface of your network thus making it more susceptible to 

penetration by attackers 


-Uses Port 80, the same port used by HTTP for Web Access—no 

need to open extra ports on your firewall, thereby making the 

network more secure


Scan-to-FTP 

–No filing mechanism available 

–Possible for two Users to upload different versions of the same file 

simultaneously, causing one to be overwritten 

–Time is lost troubleshooting why an uploaded file is different than 

expected or why there are multiple versions 


–Lets only ONE user modify the file at a time, while multiple users can 

read the file 

–Allows files to be locked while they are being edited, preventing 

unexpected changes from occurring


Scan-to-FTP 

–Content has to be edited locally on the client 

–Editing pages already on the web server requires that you 

download the file to the client, edit it and then upload it again to 

the web server 

–Time-consuming and less efficient approach to managing 

content 


–Allows you to edit files on the server 

–No need to download content locally on the client 

–Editing files remotely using WebDAV is as easy as if it were on 

the client 

–Process is transparent to the user

Image Processing 

Improved Compact PDF Image Quality 

–Improved over C352/C300/C252 

–Improvements in resolution conversion technology provides 

improved character thickness 

–Improved image quality of reverse-printed characters due to 

increased contrast level of reverse-printed characters

Image Processing 

Improved Compact JPEG Image Quality 

–Improved over C352/C300/C252 

–Improved JPEG processing method supports reduced block noise 

JPEG handles conversion in block units, a type of image noise called “block noise” is generated at the borders of two blocks where the compression ratio is 

increased. With this series, the ratio of the higher-frequency image regions is increased more than the ratio of lower-frequency regions to alleviate block 

noise. This is done because block noise in the lower-frequency regions is more obvious to the eye.

XPS 

What is XPS? 

–New Windows Vista File Format 

–PDL 

XPS File Format is similar to Adobe PDF 

XPS Files can be created Free of Charge 

–Unlike PDF file format that requires Adobe Acrobat 

You can use XPS as a PDL in place of PCL or PS 

a paginated, fixed-layout format. An XML

XPS 

Konica Minolta is ONE of only two MFP vendors to offer inhouse 

true native XPS Interpreter 

–bizhub MFPs contain native XPS interpreter designed & 

developed by Konica Minolta 

–Competition must rely on 3 rd party to perform XPS printing 

– a paginated, fixed-layout format. An XML

XPS Digital Signature Verification 

It is possible to download and print an XPS file from PSWC. If a digital signature is 

attached to the XPS file, it is possible to confirm prior to printing if the electronic 

signature is valid. If it is valid, then printing proceeds. If invalid, then the print job will be 

cancelled.

What is Section 508? 

Section 508 is a part of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 which 

requires that electronic and information technology 

developed, procured, maintained, or used by the Federal 

government be accessible to people with disabilities. 

In order to sell to federal/state/municipal government, 

Section 508 compliancy is a MUST.


Do Konica Minolta products, inclusive of C353/C253/C203 

series comply with Section 508? 

The answer is - YES! 

plus much more…
