Katun Arivia C2130: A Useful Balance of Print Speed and Included Scanning
A practical step up when a shared office needs more print throughput without moving to a faster departmental engine. The C2130 pairs 30ppm A4 colour and mono with 17ppm A3. A theoretical 100-page A4 run takes 3 minutes 20 seconds of engine time, 40 seconds less than at 25ppm. Repeated reports and customer packs make that difference more useful than occasional short jobs.
The standard 130-sheet single-pass feeder is a separate strength. Staff can capture both sides of original documents without a reversing step. Its 80ipm scan rating is unchanged from the slower-printing model in this family, so choose the C2130 for the printing benefit rather than expecting faster scanning.
For client-facing proposals, assess the advertised 1200 × 2400 dpi print mode on your own paper and files. For staff preparing packs, the right stapler, booklet maker or punch may save more work than another small speed increase. Compare the complete configuration and service cost; a light A4-only office may need less equipment, while frequent long runs may justify a faster engine.

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
Included Single-Pass Capture for Routine Office Files
The standard 130-sheet feeder captures both sides without reversing each original. Print speed and scan speed describe different tasks.
Why this is useful
Accounts files, signed agreements and school administration records can be loaded as a batch. An included feeder makes the complete equipment price worth comparing against configurations that price double-sided scanning separately.
What to weigh up
The 80ipm figure counts sides and must not be doubled to 160ipm. Choosing 30ppm printing does not increase this scan rating. For large archives, compare complete file time with OCR and network transfer, as well as feeder capacity.
2. Controls & workflow
Set Up Everyday Jobs Once, Then Repeat Them
The seven-inch colour touchscreen supports copying, scanning and saved settings for recurring work.
Why this is useful
Agree presets for standard invoices, reports and scan destinations. A clear setup helps occasional users choose the right colour, paper size and file destination without repeating every setting.
What to weigh up
Comparable equipment can offer larger panels. Test whether staff can carry out their actual tasks easily; screen size alone is not a workflow result. Confirm authentication, software and any cloud connection. Wi-Fi hardware is optional.
3. Print engine
30ppm A4 and 17ppm A3 for Shared Colour Work
The C2130 increases printing throughput while retaining the same single-pass scanning platform.
Why this is useful
A 100-page A4 run takes about 3 minutes 20 seconds of theoretical engine time, compared with four minutes at 25ppm. The gain adds up when several people submit reports or repeated sets through the day. A3 output also suits larger working documents.
What to weigh up
Processing, the first page, paper, image-quality adjustments and finishing affect the actual wait. At 45ppm the same theoretical run takes about 2 minutes 13 seconds, so recurring long jobs may justify more speed. First-copy figures are not PC-to-first-print times.
4. Bypass & specialist media
Match Each Stock to Its Supported Paper Path
A 100-sheet bypass handles occasional paper while regular stock stays in the main drawer.
Why this is useful
Different letterheads or approved forms can use the bypass without replacing the main stock. A supported heavier cassette stock may suit a presentation cover, provided its size, settings and finishing route are compatible.
What to weigh up
The 256gsm maximum does not apply to the bypass or automatic double-sided printing. A job needing thick duplex covers may require another configuration. Test the actual paper rather than assuming every stock of the same weight behaves alike.
5. Paper supply
Add Drawers When Paper Changes Interrupt the Team
Standard input is 620 sheets: one 520-sheet main tray plus a 100-sheet bypass.
Why this is useful
Keeping A4 and A3 in separate drawers makes sense when both are used throughout the day. Higher-capacity options can reduce loading interruptions on repeat jobs, but choose the tray layout for the stock staff actually use.
What to weigh up
Additional drawers are optional. Some comparable 30ppm A3 equipment includes two main trays, so compare supplied packages. The maximum needs the appropriate tandem and high-capacity feeder combination; it is not standard input.
6. Output & finishing
Let the Machine Assemble the Packs You Repeat
Number 6 marks the output area. Compatible finishing accessories are separate from the base machine.
Why this is useful
Corner-stapled meeting papers, punched binder sets and folded booklets remove different manual tasks. Choose the accessory around a finished sample so the configuration addresses what staff spend time assembling.
What to weigh up
Corner stapling does not create a booklet. *Fifteen sheets represent up to 60 pages in a typical four-pages-per-sheet booklet; paper weight, covers and size affect limits. Confirm punch pattern, accessory availability and installed floor space before ordering.
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 30ppm 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 C2130 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 C2130 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 C2130’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 C2130, the included 130-sheet DADF scans both sides in one pass; its rated scan speed is separate from the 30ppm 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 C2130 Figures Mean for Your Office
Useful when: Several people share the machine and regular reports need to keep moving.
Keep it in perspective: A theoretical 100-page run takes 3 minutes 20 seconds. Processing, first page and finishing add to the actual wait.
Useful when: Schedules, plans or larger spreadsheets need a readable in-house format.
Keep it in perspective: A3 is slower than A4. Compare the larger-paper workload separately from the headline 30ppm rate.
Useful when: Routine scan batches fit in one load without buying a feeder upgrade.
Keep it in perspective: Capacity depends on original condition, weight and loading. An occasional oversized archive may need a different workflow.
Useful when: Double-sided office documents need automatic capture.
Keep it in perspective: The rating uses A4 LEF, 200dpi and scan to folder. IPM counts sides; choosing faster printing does not increase this scanner rating.
Useful when: A full ream fits the main tray and occasional stock uses the bypass.
Keep it in perspective: Extra main trays are optional. Include them if A4 and A3 must remain loaded together.
Useful when: Double-sided reports use approved stock within the supported range.
Keep it in perspective: The main cassette supports a different single-sided maximum. Check covers and finishing separately.
Choose around the work
Where the C2130 Could Work Well in Your Business
Make a modest speed increase earn its place
A team printing several medium reports can benefit from 30ppm without immediately moving to a 45–55ppm engine. Compare the busiest part of the day, not only the monthly total. A few short jobs may gain little.
Keep proposals and working documents in-house
Colour reports, diagrams and larger A3 schedules can be produced on one device. Test the advertised high-resolution print mode with your own files; a larger DPI number alone does not establish better output.
Include double-sided scanning in the starting package
The standard single-pass feeder can suit invoices, contracts and signed forms. It removes the reversing step for two-sided originals. Compare the complete supplied cost where other configurations require a separate feeder option.
Do not pay for print speed to solve a scan queue
This scanner remains rated at 80ipm. If staff spend most of the day capturing large files, compare a higher-rate scanning configuration at matching resolution and include OCR and transfer in the timing.
Keep two working formats ready
A3 can make spreadsheets and plans easier to read even when most output is A4. Extra drawers keep both sizes loaded. If every job is light A4 work, a smaller device may reduce footprint and equipment cost.
Automate the task after printing
A compatible stapling finisher can keep each set together as it prints. This matters more for multiple packs every week than an occasional five-page handout. Confirm the paper size, staple positions and sheet limits.
Plan the booklet function explicitly
Folded, centre-stapled guides need the compatible booklet-maker unit. Tell us the finished size, pages, paper and covers. A standard corner stapler does not perform the same task.
Specify punching before choosing the package
The right punch and finisher can prepare pages for binders. Check two- or four-hole requirements and future use. An equipment choice without the necessary accessory route could leave staff doing the same manual work.
Check duplex limits early
The main tray reaches 256gsm, the bypass 216gsm and automatic duplex 169gsm. Some comparable equipment supports heavier duplex and bypass stock. If thick double-sided covers are frequent, make that a selection requirement.
Compare the full working configuration
Include drawers, finishing, installation and software in the equipment comparison. Then apply service rates to actual colour and mono usage. Buy, lease or rent around the business need, with UK-wide service and repair terms agreed for the location.
Who should choose it?
The C2130 Is a Good Fit When...
It makes sense if you...
- Share colour reports and customer documents across a small or medium team
- Need A3 alongside everyday A4 output
- Want a standard single-pass feeder for routine double-sided scanning
- Would benefit from 30ppm on repeated medium print jobs
- Can choose paper drawers around actual A4/A3 use
- Need compatible corner stapling, booklets or punching
- Want purchase, lease or rental options with agreed UK-wide support
We would compare another option if you...
- Regularly produce long runs better suited to a faster print engine
- Need a scanner faster than the published 80ipm rating
- Need automatic duplex above 169gsm
- Need a bypass path above 216gsm
- Have light A4-only work with no finishing requirement
- Require multiple stock drawers but have budgeted for the base unit only
- Assume pictured trays or finishing are included as standard

Choosing your configuration
What to Check Before Choosing a Katun Arivia C2130
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 C2130 FAQ
Can I buy, lease or rent the Katun Arivia C2130?
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 30ppm A4 long-edge feed and 17ppm 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.
