Katun Arivia C2125: Useful Scanning Included from the Start
A sensible configuration to compare when you want A3 colour and single-pass scanning without paying for an optional feeder upgrade. The standard 130-sheet feeder captures both sides in one pass. That can suit accounts, reception, school administration and professional teams whose daily scan batches matter as much as their printed output.
The advertised 1200 × 2400 dpi print setting is another useful point to assess with real proposals, fine text and graphics. It is a higher advertised figure on one axis than 1200 × 1200 dpi configurations, but it does not establish universally better output. Driver settings, paper and the original file still matter. Scan resolution is a separate maximum of 600 × 600 dpi.
Keep the equipment proportionate to the work. At 25ppm A4, a theoretical 100-page run takes four minutes of engine time. If long runs regularly create queues, compare faster printing. If scanning is substantial, check the 80ipm rating and 130-sheet capacity against the actual files: other configurations scan faster. Compare complete equipment and service prices rather than assuming a guaranteed saving.

Select an area to see the specification, what it means in practice, and when it will—or will not—make a meaningful difference.
1. Document feeder & scanning
Single-Pass Double-Sided Scanning Is Standard
The included 130-sheet DADF captures both sides without reversing each original.
Why this is useful
Staff can load a normal double-sided file and capture both sides in one pass. Including the feeder from the outset can make the complete configuration worth comparing when budget is limited and scanning is used regularly.
What to weigh up
IPM counts sides, not sheets. The published duplex rating is 80ipm, not 160ipm. Other configurations offer faster scanning or larger feeders. Higher resolution, OCR, network transfer and the destination affect complete file time. Do not assume fewer jams without evidence.
2. Controls & workflow
A Seven-Inch Panel for Everyday Office Tasks
The colour touchscreen supports copying, scanning and saved settings for repeated jobs.
Why this is useful
Agree clear presets for the documents staff repeat and test the normal email or folder destination. A familiar setup can reduce repeated decisions without needing the largest available screen.
What to weigh up
Some comparable A3 devices have a 10.1-inch panel. Screen size alone does not establish a better workflow. Confirm required software, permissions, OCR operation and any cloud integration. Wireless networking and Wi-Fi Direct need the relevant option.
3. Print engine
25ppm A4 for Moderate Shared Printing
Colour and black-and-white output share the same headline speed. Paper size and feed orientation affect the rate.
Why this is useful
The C2125 can handle everyday reports, proposals and colour schedules while retaining A3 for larger pages. Its rated print modes include 1200 × 2400 dpi for suitable document and driver settings.
What to weigh up
100 A4 pages take four minutes of theoretical engine time at 25ppm, compared with about 2 minutes 51 seconds at 35ppm. Short jobs gain much less. First-copy figures use manufacturer priority modes; PC processing and sleep state add separate stages.
4. Bypass & specialist media
Use the Correct Path for Covers and Occasional Stock
The side bypass holds 100 sheets. Its media limit differs from the main cassette.
Why this is useful
An occasional approved form or different stock can use the bypass while ordinary paper remains in the main drawer. Suitable heavier media can use a supported cassette path when the job and configuration allow it.
What to weigh up
Do not treat 256gsm as a bypass or duplex rating. Automatic double-sided output stops at 169gsm in the specification. Check size, stock and settings before ordering covers; other machines can support heavier bypass or duplex work.
5. Paper supply
Start with One Main Drawer and Expand Around Actual Use
Standard input is one 520-sheet main tray plus a 100-sheet bypass: 620 sheets in total.
Why this is useful
A full ream fits in the main tray. Add drawers when A4, A3 or a recurring stock should stay ready together. Choose the loading arrangement for genuine interruptions rather than buying the largest possible total.
What to weigh up
Some comparable 25ppm A3 devices include two main drawers and higher standard input. The pictured extra drawers are optional here. The 5,190-sheet maximum requires the appropriate tandem arrangement and high-capacity feeder; it is not the standard package.
6. Output & finishing
Choose Corner Staples, Booklets and Punching Separately
Number 6 marks the output area. Finishing requires the compatible accessories; the photograph does not define the supplied package.
Why this is useful
Internal stapling can suit repeated meeting packs. External B4 finishing can add punching, while the separate booklet maker prepares folded, centre-stapled guides. Choose the actual finished document so staff spend less time assembling sets by hand.
What to weigh up
A corner staple does not make a booklet. *Limits depend on size, weight and covers; A3 stapling limits can be lower. Fifteen booklet sheets represent up to 60 pages in a typical four-pages-per-sheet layout. Punch pattern, installation kit, feeding module and supported stock must be confirmed.
Photocopier terminology, explained by Bean
Confused by Photocopier Jargon?
Bean explains the terms without the technical waffle. Here is what the specifications mean for your working day.
- PPM — Pages Per Minute
- Printer PPM measures pages produced per minute once the print engine is running, under specified test conditions. The difference between 25ppm and 45ppm matters much more on a 100-page job than a five-page job, where processing and the first page account for more of the wait.
- IPM — Images Per Minute
- Scanner IPM normally measures scanned sides, not sheets. One double-sided sheet counts as two images. A high figure helps with large scan batches, but resolution, OCR, file processing and upload speed can still slow the complete job.
- GSM — Grams Per Square Metre
- GSM describes paper weight per square metre; ordinary office paper is often 80gsm. The C2125 main tray supports 60–256gsm, the bypass 60–216gsm and automatic duplex 60–169gsm. A headline maximum does not apply to every path. Check the actual size, stock and finishing limit.
- MFP — Multifunction Printer
- One device combines printing, copying and scanning; fax may be optional. Sharing an MFP saves space, but a busy scan or copy session can create a queue, so consider how many people need it at once.
- ADF — Automatic Document Feeder
- An ADF feeds a stack of originals into the scanner, saving you from placing every page on the glass. Capacity matters for long batches. ADF alone does not tell you whether both sides are scanned automatically; check the feeder type.
- DSDF — Dual Scan Document Feeder
- A DSDF scans both sides of an original in one pass, without turning the sheet over. It is especially useful for large double-sided document packs. The C2125 uses the name DADF for its standard 130-sheet single-pass feeder. Compare the mechanism and capacity, not the initials alone.
- RADF — Reversing Automatic Document Feeder
- A RADF scans one side and reverses the sheet to scan the other. It still handles double-sided originals automatically, but the reversing step makes it slower than a dual-scan feeder. It can be quite sufficient for occasional smaller batches. The C2125’s included feeder uses single-pass capture instead.
- DADF — Duplexing Automatic Document Feeder
- DADF describes an automatic feeder that handles double-sided originals. Check whether the actual configuration scans both sides in one pass or reverses each sheet: the mechanism, scan speed and capacity matter more than the initials. On the C2125, the included 130-sheet DADF scans both sides in one pass; its rated scan speed is separate from the 25ppm print speed.
- Duplex — Automatic Double-sided Printing
- Automatic duplex prints on both sides without manually reloading the paper. It saves paper and reduces bulky packs. It does not mean double-sided scanning, and supported paper weights can be lower than for single-sided printing.
- DPI — Dots Per Inch
- DPI describes resolution: how many dots are printed, or how finely a scan samples detail, per inch. Higher settings can help fine text and images, but scanning at higher resolution creates larger files and can slow the workflow. Match the setting to the task.
- CPC — Cost Per Copy
- CPC is the charge per copy or printed page under a service arrangement. Colour and black-and-white print charges may differ. Scanning and printed pages are different functions. Ask what is included, how A3 and double-sided pages are counted, and whether minimum billing applies. Compare the rates against your actual usage.
- FCOT — First Copy Out Time
- FCOT is the time to produce the first copy under the manufacturer’s test conditions. It is not PC-to-first-printed-page time: a PC print job can also involve the computer, application, driver, network, server or cloud, copier processing and print engine. Sleep state can add a further wait.
- A4 / A3 — Paper Sizes
- A4 is 210 × 297mm, the usual office page. A3 is 297 × 420mm, twice the area of A4, useful for plans, larger spreadsheets and folded A4 booklets with suitable finishing. If you never use A3, a smaller A4 device may suit a lighter workload, but check paper capacity, sustained use and any finishing attachments you may need later.
- Booklet Maker — Folded, Stapled Booklets
- A booklet maker folds sheets down the middle and staples along the fold to produce a finished booklet. With suitable paper and finishing, A3 sheets become an A4 booklet and A4 sheets become an A5 booklet. Useful for handbooks, programmes and training guides. It is a separate finishing requirement from corner stapling: check that the compatible booklet finisher is included and that its sheet and paper-weight limits suit your documents.
- Hole Punch — Pages Ready for Binders
- A compatible hole-punch option makes holes in printed sheets so packs are ready for folders or ring binders, saving staff from punching each batch by hand. Check the hole pattern, supported paper sizes and weights, and the required finisher combination. If you regularly prepare binder packs—or expect to later—choose a machine that accepts the necessary attachment.
- Corner Staple — Keep Each Set Together
- Corner stapling puts a staple near the corner of each printed set, keeping meeting papers, reports and teaching packs together. It can save time when you repeatedly produce multiple sets; for an occasional short document, a separate stapler may be sufficient. Check the compatible finisher’s sheet limit and staple positions. Corner stapling does not fold pages or make a booklet.
Specifications in real life
What the C2125 Figures Mean for Your Office
Useful when: Everyday scan batches fit without an optional feeder upgrade.
Keep it in perspective: Other configurations can hold larger files. Original condition, weight and correct loading remain important.
Useful when: Routine double-sided files need automatic capture.
Keep it in perspective: The rating uses A4 LEF at 200dpi to folder. IPM counts sides; do not double the duplex figure or apply it to every resolution.
Useful when: Fine text, graphics and presentation output deserve a sample test.
Keep it in perspective: This is a print setting, not the scanner resolution. Higher advertised dots do not guarantee better output on every document.
Useful when: Most jobs are short or moderate and do not create a sustained queue.
Keep it in perspective: 100 A4 pages take four minutes of theoretical engine time. Processing, first page, paper and finishing add to the job.
Useful when: One main stock covers normal work and occasional paper uses the bypass.
Keep it in perspective: Additional main trays are optional. Compare the supplied configuration if A4 and A3 must remain loaded together.
Useful when: Approved double-sided documents need to stay within the supported range.
Keep it in perspective: Main-cassette single-sided output supports a different maximum. Check stock, size and finishing separately.
Choose around the work
Where the C2125 Could Work Well in Your Business
Compare a scanner that is already included
The standard 130-sheet single-pass feeder makes this configuration worth comparing when scanning is regular and budget is tight. Some comparable A3 equipment offers its feeder as an option. Compare complete supplied prices and service terms rather than assuming a fixed saving.
Avoid reversing each original
Both sides are captured in one pass. That removes the reversing step of a reversing feeder and can simplify routine accounts or administration capture. It does not establish a measured reduction in jams; originals, loading, rollers and maintenance still matter.
Test the advertised resolution with your own documents
The 1200 × 2400 dpi print setting is a higher advertised figure on one axis than 1200 × 1200 dpi configurations. Assess small text, line work and colour graphics using your actual paper and files. Scan resolution remains a separate 600 × 600 dpi maximum.
Pay for speed when there is a real queue
At 25ppm, a theoretical 100-page A4 engine run takes four minutes. Moving to 35ppm reduces that to about 2 minutes 51 seconds. For repeated long runs the difference may be useful; for a few pages, processing and the first page can dominate.
Keep larger schedules readable
A3 output is rated up to 14ppm in colour and mono. Larger spreadsheets, plans or colour schedules can stay in-house. If every job is light A4 work and finishing is minimal, a compact A4 configuration may save space and equipment cost.
Keep the paper-path limits separate
The main tray supports up to 256gsm, but the bypass reaches 216gsm and automatic duplex 169gsm. Some comparable devices offer heavier bypass and duplex paths. If thick double-sided covers are central to the work, check that requirement before selecting this model.
Add drawers to solve a genuine loading problem
Standard input is 620 sheets including the bypass. Extra drawers can keep A4, A3 or a recurring approved stock ready. A higher standard-input alternative may suit busy mixed-stock work, so compare the actual package rather than only the maximum expansion.
Reduce the repeated manual assembly
An optional internal finisher can corner-staple routine packs, while compatible external finishing offers another route. Check sheet counts and paper sizes. If you staple only a few short documents, a desktop stapler may already be sufficient.
Keep the right upgrade path available
Booklets need the compatible booklet-maker unit; hole punching needs the correct punch and finisher. Include the required feeding module and installation kit in the proposal. Planning the likely future work can avoid choosing a machine without the necessary attachments.
Separate good included value from maximum speed
The standard feeder is useful, but 80ipm is not the fastest advertised office scan rate. Larger document workflows may justify a higher-rate scanner or bigger feeder. Test a complete scan, including OCR and transfer, before paying for faster printing to solve a capture problem.
Who should choose it?
The C2125 Is a Good Fit When...
It makes sense if you...
- Need A3 colour alongside everyday A4 reports and proposals
- Want single-pass scanning included as standard
- Have routine original batches that fit the 130-sheet feeder
- Can match 25ppm to moderate printing and real peak jobs
- Want to assess high-resolution print settings on your own work
- Need compatible stapling, booklets or punching now or later
- Can match paper options and service to the actual workload
We would compare another option if you...
- Regularly print long batches that would create queues at 25ppm
- Need the fastest available scan throughput or very large original loads
- Need automatic duplex printing above 169gsm
- Need a bypass path above 216gsm
- Require multiple main paper stocks but have not allowed for extra trays
- Have light A4-only work and no finishing requirement
- Assume every pictured accessory is standard

Choosing your configuration
What to Check Before Choosing a Katun Arivia C2125
Is the full configuration clearly named?
The single-pass feeder is standard, but drawers and finishing are not all included. Ask for a complete equipment list.
Which paper paths will your jobs use?
Check 256gsm main-tray, 216gsm bypass and 169gsm automatic-duplex limits against the actual stock and size.
Which finishing function repeats?
Corner staples, punched binder packs and folded booklets need different options. Confirm the feeding module and installation kit required for the B4 finisher.
Will the normal scan batch fit?
Use typical and peak original counts. Test a double-sided file at the resolution, OCR setting and destination you intend to use.
Do you need more main trays?
One 520-sheet main tray is standard. Additional drawers may be worthwhile to keep A4, A3 or a recurring stock ready.
What do colour and mono pages cost?
Apply proposed service rates to actual volumes. Confirm A3 and duplex counting, consumables, parts, labour, exclusions and any minimum charges.
Which purchase, lease or rental arrangement fits?
Compare equipment condition, term, payments, end arrangements and service separately. Confirm availability and agreed terms in the proposal.
What must the installation connect to?
Agree email, folders, authentication, required software, permissions and training. Confirm optional wireless hardware and any cloud integration.

Questions worth asking
Katun Arivia C2125 FAQ
Can I buy, lease or rent the Katun Arivia C2125?
Yes. Camelott® offers purchase, lease and rental options. Tell us your postcode, intended period, workload and configuration so availability, condition and terms can be confirmed.
Do you offer UK-wide service and repair?
Yes. Camelott® offers photocopier servicing and repair across the UK. Give us your postcode and machine details so coverage, charges, inclusions and attendance arrangements can be confirmed.
Is the single-pass feeder standard?
Yes. Katun lists a standard 130-sheet one-pass, two-sided document feeder. Extra paper drawers and finishing are separate options.
How fast does it print?
Up to 25ppm A4 long-edge feed and 14ppm A3 in colour and mono. Other orientations, stock, quality adjustment and the document can change throughput.
How fast can it scan?
Up to 80ipm in colour and mono under the published A4 long-edge-feed, 200dpi, scan-to-folder conditions. IPM counts sides; the duplex rating is 80ipm rather than 160ipm. OCR and transfer affect complete file time.
Is 1200 × 2400 dpi the scanner resolution?
No. It is an advertised print-resolution setting. Scanning is specified up to 600 × 600 dpi. Print modes vary with driver and quality settings; compare actual output samples.
Can it print 256gsm automatically on both sides?
No. The main tray is specified for 60–256gsm, the bypass for 60–216gsm and automatic duplex for 60–169gsm. Size, stock and finishing restrictions also apply.
How much paper is included as standard?
620 sheets in total: one 520-sheet main tray and a 100-sheet bypass. The detailed specification identifies this total; 520 sheets describes the main tray alone.
Can it make booklets, corner-staple and hole-punch?
Compatible options provide these functions. Corner stapling differs from folded, centre-stapled booklets. B4 external finishing, its booklet maker and punch require the correct equipment, feeding module and installation kit.
What is the booklet capacity?
The detailed B4 specification lists saddle stapling up to 15 sheets under its stated paper conditions, equivalent to up to 60 pages in a typical four-pages-per-sheet booklet. Covers, size and stock affect the supported job; confirm the exact configuration.
Would an A4 machine be enough?
Possibly, for light A4-only output with little finishing. Check the scanner, workload, paper supply and future booklet or punching requirements before choosing a smaller device without those attachments.
When should I choose a faster print engine?
Recurring long A4 runs and shared queues may justify more speed. Short jobs save less. Faster printing does not automatically improve scan speed, so compare document capture separately.
Can it connect wirelessly?
Wireless LAN and Wi-Fi Direct require the relevant option. AirPrint, Mopria Print and Mopria Scan depend on compatible devices and a suitable network setup; they do not establish that a Wi-Fi card is included.
Can it scan to email, folders and searchable PDF?
Katun lists email, folder workflows and searchable PDF support. Confirm the required method, software, OCR operation, permissions and installation scope using a representative file. Do not assume another brand’s cloud apps are included.
What affects the complete price?
Equipment condition, trays, finishing, software, delivery, finance term or rental period and support affect the proposal. Compare complete equipment and service costs, including colour and mono rates, minimum charges where applicable and agreed cover.
