MAIN FEATURES
High-speed laser copying
First-copy time*1 at 300 dpi*2 is only 7.2 seconds .
Copying speed is 20/16 copies per minute. This is ideal for business use and provides a big boost to workplace 
productivity.
*1First-Copy time may vary depending on the power-supply voltage, ambient temperature, and other operating conditions.
*2dpi (dots per inch) is unit that is used to measure resolution. Resolution indicates how much detail can be reproduced in 
a printed or scanned image.
High-quality digital image
High-quality copying at 600 dpi is performed.
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 colour photos.
Enhanced copying features
Zoom copies can be made from 25% to 400% in 1% increments.
(When the SPF is being used, the zoom copy ratio range is 50% to 200%.)
Continuous copying of up to 999 copies is possible. (Can be changed to a maximum of 99 copies in the user 
programs.)
The user programs allow customised machine settings and management. Access to the machine can be 
controlled by enabling audit mode.
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.)
Environment and people friendly design
Preheat and auto power shut-off modes are provided to reduce power consumption when the machine is not in 
use.
A universal design has been implemented in the product whereby the height of the operation panel and shape of 
the keys are designed to be usable by as many people as possible.
