WORKiO – Fits easily into your workplace
“wingless” for true compactness
By moving the output tray “inside” and eliminating
protruding paper trays, WORKiO’s small footprint
represents virtually all the space required for setup.
The DP-1520P quickly copies at up to 15 ppm with sharp 600dpi quality, provides ledger-
size input and output, and improves efficiency with Double Exposure, 2-in-1 copying,
Digital SkyShot and Image Rotation. An Automatic Document Feeder is available as an
option to accelerate copying of multi-page originals.And with standard electronic sorting,
you won’t have to hand-sort those larger copy jobs. In addition to 600 x 600 dpi resolution
and a 256 level gray scale, the DP-1520P provides consistent optimum image quality by
monitoring and adjusting for room temperature and humidity conditions.

Combining copier and printer functions in a single platform with ledger-size capability,the DP-1520P
provides a practical, cost-effective solution for office document processing.And with the standard 10/100
Ethernet interface, it is ready to serve as a network printer. Its compact “wingless”design enables installation
almost anywhere, even on a desktop corner, saving valuable office space.As with all WORKiO platforms,
the DP-1520P is designed for maximum ease of use.
2-in-1 Copying
This handy feature saves paper by fitting two
reduced images on one sheet.
Double Exposure WORKiO Original
By selecting the Double Exposure key located on the control panel, users can make quality copies of double-sided
documents on a single sheet of paper without the black borders, even if the platen cover is open.This is especially
convenient for copying small double-sided originals such as ID and insurance cards, checks and receipts.
