Productivity and performance
LOW TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP
A number of features contribute to a low Total Cost of Ownership. Affordable in-house document creation
means there is no need for outsourcing. A high duty cycle results in minimal maintenance. Long yield of
consumables leads to a low cost per print. And built-in duplexing reduces paper consumption.
DOCUMENT PROTECTION
The SP C431DN offers extensive security features as standard. Protect confidential and proprietary
information with Enhanced Locked Print NX. Your document will not print until you enter your ID and
password on the printer. For organisation-wide document protection, network administrators can even
set this as the default.
HIGH PRODUCTIVITY
The Aficio™SP C430DN/SP C431DN are fast, efficient and productive. After a warm-up time of 50
seconds, the first B/W print is ready in 10 seconds; the first colour page in 15 seconds. The SP C430DN
prints 35 colour and B/W pages per minute; the SP C431DN is even faster, printing 40 colour and B/W
pages per minute. What’s more, there is no reduction in print speed in duplex mode. For efficient
networking, a Network Interface Card is provided as standard.
EASY OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Operation of both devices is straightforward via an intuitive 4-line LCD operation panel which clearly
displays all functions. Toner and paper replacement are simple tasks as the devices are accessible from
top and front. Animated procedures help you troubleshoot in seconds.

FLEXIBLE MEDIA HANDLING
Looking for an affordable colour printer product that can handle many different media types? With the
SP C430DN/SP C431DN you can print covers and flyers on heavy paper up to 256 g/m². Or print on your
preferred envelopes, labels, card stock and transparencies. Output quality is an excellent 1,200 x 1,200
dpi. Paper capacity is an outstanding 2,300 sheets when the three additional paper trays are installed.
EASILY ACCESSIBLE
Front/top accessibility means these devices can be located against a wall or even in a corner. No parts
stick out and get in the way. The front-loading paper tray slides back underneath the machine so you will
never accidentally knock or damage it.

of Ownership. The SP C430DN/SP C431DN have eco-friendly and money-saving features such as low
