MAIN FEATURES

High-speed laser copying

First-copy time at 600 dpi* is only 7.2 seconds (except when exiting power save mode or immediately after power on).

Copying speed is 20 copies per minute at 600 dpi, This is ideal for business use and provides a big boost to workplace productivity.

*Resolution indicates how much detail can be reproduced in a printed or scanned image, and is measured in dpi ("dots per inch").

High-quality digital image

High-quality copies are possible in normal mode at 300 dpi and in photo mode at 600 dpi.

In addition to automatic exposure adjustment, two original modes can be selected: "TEXT" for text-only originals, and "PHOTO" for photographs. The exposure can be adjusted to five levels in each mode.

The photo mode copying function allows clear copying of delicate halftone original images such as monochrome photos and color photos.

Enhanced copying features

Zoom copies can be made from 25% to 400% in 1% increments at 600 dpi. (When the SPF/RSPF is being used, the zoom copy ratio range is 50% to 200%.)

Continuous copying of up to 99 copies is possible. (Can be changed to a maximum of 999 copies in the user programs.)

The user programs allow customized machine settings and management. Access to the machine can be controlled by enabling audit mode.

Automatic two-sided copying can be performed.

The optional Dual function board can be installed to enable use of Rotation copy and other convenient functions.

Scan once/Print many

The machine is equipped with a memory buffer allowing the machine to scan an original once and make up to 999 copies of the scanned image. This improves workflow, reduces operating noise from the machine and reduces wear and tear on the scanning mechanism, which provides for a higher reliability.

Laser printer function

The accompanying printer driver can be installed to enable use of the machine as a printer. (See the accompanying SOFTWARE SETUP GUIDE.)

Color scanner function

The accompanying scanner driver can be installed and the machine connected to a computer using a USB cable to enable use as a scanner. (See the accompanying SOFTWARE SETUP GUIDE.)

Peripheral devices

The SPF enables automatic feeding and copying of originals without the need to open the original cover and replace each original.

The RSPF automatically turns two-sided originals over to enable two-sided copying.

The optional Dual function board can be installed to enable multi-function copying. In addition, the printer driver for the Dual function board can be used together with a USB 2.0 connection to enable high-speed printing.

Environmentally friendly design

The center tray is housed inside the machine to save space.

Preheat and auto power shut-off modes are provided to reduce power consumption when the machine is not in use.
