Features of the DP-6530/8130

The DP-6530/8130 is a digital imaging system which is high-speed, compact and high-durability. The DP-6530/8130 can read the image in the memory temporarily after scanning, so you can operate sorting/ grouping, etc. as well as processing/editing quietly, quickly and easily. And the combination of various finishing function such as thick paper and tab paper, etc. makes finishing easier as you request. The DP-6530/8130 also has the following convenient features, functions and options.

The copying speed is 65 copies (LT) per minute for the DP-6530 and 81 copies (LT) per minute for the DP-8130. You can scan the originals that you request to copy during printing. A wide variety of media from thick paper ( up to 110lb. Index) to tab paper, OHP-films, hole punched paper, etc. are acceptable. 'Finishing mode' and '2-sided copy', which are frequently used, put together to one display (Quick tab on the touch panel) to access easily. 'Automatic density mode' reads the density of originals automatically and sets the proper copy density. 'Automatic paper selection' reads the size of originals automatically and sets the paper size, and 'Automatic zoom selection' calculates the copy magnification. Comes with rich editing functions specific to digital such as '2in1/ 4in1’, ‘Annotation’ and ‘Page Numbering’, etc. Using the reversing automatic document feeder allows you to copy at once with 'Mixed-sized original mode' though the original sizes are different.

Loading the page memory and hard disc as standard equipment enables 2 in 1/4 in 1, 'Electronic sort' and 'Magazine sort' etc. When using the external LCF (optional), you can make maximum of 7500 copies continuously. (External

LCF: 4000 sheets, drawer: 500 sheets x 2, Tandem LCF: 2500 sheets) Installing an optional finisher, an optional hole offer quick sorting such as 'Staple', 'Magazine sort' 'Hole punch' of copies automatically. The optional printer controller also allows you to scan from the touch panel.

- Avoid using paper that is specially treated or paper that was printed on another machine, and also avoid performing double copying on the same side of paper; this may cause a malfunction.

- Do not use paper with creases, wrinkles, curled paper, paper prone to curling, smooth paper, or tough paper; this may cause paper misfeeds.

- Paper should be wrapped in its wrapping paper and stored in a damp-free place.

- To prevent paper from being folded or bent, store it evenly on a flat surface.
