Optional Network-Ready Print System and Network Scan System make the KM-4530 and KM-5530 the ideal comprehensive imaging systems for the busy workgroup.

TECHNOLOGY
The KM-4530 and KM-5530 utilize pipe frame construction that prevents mainframe distortion when in use. A guaranteed Organic Photo Conductor with yields of 400K for the KM-4530 and 500K for the KM-5530 along with a 30K Toner Yield foster an aggressive cost per copy. Preventative Maintenance Schedules are consistent with the drum yields set for each model.

MEMORY MANAGEMENT
Both systems come standard with 128MB of Bitmap Memory and a 20.0GB HDD that has the ability to store up to 80,000 images. Separate printer memory, standard with 32MB, is upgradeable to 256MB. There is also an optional Printer HDD that enables higher end print functions such as Virtual Mailboxes, and Barcode Printing. The 20.0GB HDD allows the user to access Advanced Document Management Tools such as Job Build and Synergy Print Box for the creation and storing of documents.

 

PRODUCTIVITY
The KM-4530 and KM-5530 are extremely productive and easy to use.

 

With a brisk 3.9 second FCOT, both models run beyond the rated mainframe speed of 45 and 55 CPM. Due to a very productive Document Processor the OPM speed of the KM-4530 is 50 and the KM-5530 is 62. The standard Stackless Duplex runs at efficiency rates of 85% for the KM-5530 and 90% for the KM-4530. The Wide Touch Screen Interface is totally customizable. Users can add and delete functions and create Shortcut Keys directly on the TSI.

 

OUTSTANDING QUALITY
Both the KM-4530 and KM-5530 deliver outstanding image quality and versatility to the user. Copies may be made in a wide variety of imaging modes including Auto, Text, Photo and Eco Mode. Recycled paper, along with 110 lb. stock, can be ran through the Multi-Purpose Tray to create professional looking documents.

 

PUBLISHING
Meeting the demands of the busy workgroup the KM-4530 and KM-5530 have the ability to add Covers, Inserts and Chapters to any complex copy job. Booklets can be created simply with the touch of a few keystrokes and attributes such as page numbering; Saddle Stitching, and Folding can be added.

 

PAPER HANDLING
Each model comes standard with a 5 way 3700 Sheet Paper Supply, a 100 Sheet Scan thru Document Processor, Standard Embedded Stackless Duplex, and for the KM-5530 exclusively, an optional 4K Sheet Side Paper Deck.
