Katun Arivia C3135: More Useful When the Work Is Mixed
The C3135 is worth considering when the problem is more than waiting for a few extra printed pages. Its four 520-sheet main trays can keep A4, A3, letterhead and another approved stock ready together. That can remove repeated paper changes from a shared office’s day, while 35ppm A4 output keeps normal reports moving.
Double-sided document capture is a clearer step up than the small print-speed increase alone: the standard 130-sheet feeder is rated up to 160ipm in duplex, with 80ipm simplex. This suits organisations handling signed forms, accounts files or contracts alongside printing. It is a throughput rating under stated conditions, not a promise that every complete file will finish twice as quickly.
The broader print-media range, including supported 300gsm work and SRA3, gives more scope for covers and larger layouts. Compatible finishing can then address stapling, punching or booklet assembly. Compare the actual stock and finished document before ordering: a smaller A4 device may suit light work, while long queues or larger scan batches may justify a different configuration.

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
A Stronger Duplex Scan Rate for Everyday Records
The included 130-sheet single-pass feeder captures both sides without reversing each original.
Why this is useful
For signed agreements or two-sided records, both sides are captured in one pass. The higher duplex rating helps where double-sided batches are a regular part of the day, without requiring a faster print engine simply to obtain useful scanning.
What to weigh up
IPM counts sides, not sheets: 160ipm is not 160 double-sided sheets per minute. Higher resolution, OCR and transfer affect file time. The feeder holds 130 sheets; the 250-sheet feeder and 270ipm figures advertised elsewhere in this range do not describe this model.
2. Controls & workflow
A Larger Panel for a Shared Machine
The 10-inch colour touchscreen gives staff space to select paper, copy and scan settings.
Why this is useful
Set up the destinations and common settings staff actually use. Clear choices for colour, paper size and scan delivery can make a shared machine easier for occasional users to approach.
What to weigh up
A screen of this size is common on comparable A3 office equipment. The useful difference is the setup around your team. Confirm required software, permissions and any cloud integration. Wireless LAN and Wi-Fi Direct need the relevant option.
3. Print engine
35ppm for Regular Shared Printing, with A3 When Needed
Colour and black-and-white output share the headline A4 rate; larger paper runs more slowly.
Why this is useful
A theoretical 100-page A4 run takes about 2 minutes 51 seconds of engine time, compared with 3 minutes 20 seconds at 30ppm. Repeated reports benefit more than occasional short jobs. A3 helps larger spreadsheets or plans stay readable.
What to weigh up
At 45ppm the same theoretical run takes about 2 minutes 13 seconds. Frequent long jobs may justify more speed, but processing, first page, stock and finishing affect actual timing. These first-copy figures do not measure a PC print job.
4. Bypass & specialist media
A Broader Media Range for Covers and Larger Layouts
The 90-sheet bypass and main trays support specified print media from 52 to 300gsm.
Why this is useful
Approved heavier covers and larger layouts can stay in-house when the paper size, driver and finishing path are suitable. The broader duplex range is useful when a job needs two printed sides on stock beyond ordinary office paper.
What to weigh up
300gsm is a supported maximum, not approval for every coated or textured stock. Finishing has its own limits. Banner printing uses a separate supported size, weight and output route; request a sample test if that is part of the work.
5. Paper supply
Four Main Drawers Keep Different Stocks Ready
The four-tray configuration holds 2,080 sheets in its main trays plus a 90-sheet bypass: 2,170 sheets total.
Why this is useful
A4, A3, letterhead and another recurring stock can remain loaded separately. This can reduce interruptions caused by swapping paper, even when the office does not need a faster print engine.
What to weigh up
For the four-tray configuration, total input reaches 5,110 sheets with the B2 feeder. Higher family totals refer to other tray arrangements. Additional capacity takes floor space; choose it only when replenishment or stock changes are a real problem.
6. Output & finishing
Choose the Finisher Around the Finished Document
Number 6 marks the optional external finishing side in this illustrative range photograph.
Why this is useful
Corner staples keep report sets together. Punching prepares binder packs. A booklet maker folds and centre-staples guides or programmes. Selecting the function staff repeat can remove more manual work than a small print-speed increase.
What to weigh up
*Limits vary with size, paper and covers. Fifteen sheets typically give 60 booklet pages; twenty give 80. The C4 needs its transport unit and the C3135 installation kit. Specify the C4 punch version at purchase because its punch cannot be added later. Confirm UK option availability and installed space.
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 35ppm and 55ppm 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 C3135 main trays, bypass and automatic duplex are specified for 52–300gsm under their supported conditions. Check paper size, actual stock and finishing separately: the finisher or booklet maker may have a lower 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 C3135 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 C3135’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 C3135, the included 130-sheet DADF scans both sides in one pass; its rated scan speed is separate from the 35ppm 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 C3135 Figures Mean for Your Office
Useful when: A4, A3, letterhead and another approved stock are used repeatedly.
Keep it in perspective: Four drawers help mixed stock handling even when daily print totals are moderate. The bypass is a separate 90-sheet path.
Useful when: Signed contracts, forms or records need both sides captured.
Keep it in perspective: This counts sides at A4 LEF, 200dpi to folder. The simplex rating is 80ipm; OCR and transfer affect complete file time.
Useful when: Normal batches fit into the included feeder.
Keep it in perspective: A faster side-count rating does not increase stack capacity. Larger original batches may suit another feeder configuration.
Useful when: Several people share regular reports and document sets.
Keep it in perspective: 100 A4 pages take about 2 minutes 51 seconds of theoretical engine time. Actual jobs include other stages.
Useful when: Approved heavier covers or double-sided presentation work are needed.
Keep it in perspective: Size, stock, settings and finishing restrictions still apply. Test your material rather than buying on a maximum alone.
Useful when: Different papers can remain ready and a ream fits each main drawer.
Keep it in perspective: The four main trays hold 2,080 sheets; the remaining 90 are in the bypass. Optional feeders add space as well as capacity.
Choose around the work
Where the C3135 Could Work Well in Your Business
Keep the paper people use ready
Four main drawers can hold separate sizes or approved stocks. A busy reception or accounts team can retain letterhead while other users print A4 reports and A3 schedules. This is a practical benefit even without very high volumes.
Give document capture its own priority
The included single-pass feeder is rated at 160ipm duplex. That can suit signed forms and accounts records, but it does not make the C3135 the fastest available scanner. Time a representative batch through OCR and delivery.
Bring suitable covers in-house
Supported 300gsm paths and SRA3 give more scope than basic office-paper jobs. Check colour output and feed behaviour on the actual stock. Thick booklet covers and automatic duplex need their own configuration checks.
Balance speed with how often people wait
35ppm is useful for recurring office sets without automatically paying for a 45–55ppm engine. If staff regularly queue behind long runs, compare the time saving from faster printing using real peak jobs.
Avoid buying capability that will sit unused
If the office prints only short A4 jobs and does little finishing, a smaller device may save space and equipment cost. Check its feeder and sustained workload suitability rather than assuming paper size alone defines capacity.
Let stapling finish each set
Compatible stapling can keep sets together as they print. Check the number of sheets, paper size and preferred staple position. An occasional short handout may still be simplest to staple by hand.
Specify the right booklet route
B4 and C4 booklet configurations have different capacities and paper rules. Choose around the finished size, page count and covers. A 20-sheet booklet limit represents up to 80 pages in a typical four-pages-per-sheet layout.
Plan hole punching before ordering
Correctly configured punching prepares pages for binders without a separate manual batch. The C4 punch version must be chosen when supplied; it cannot be added later. Future binder work is worth discussing now.
Expand capacity only where it helps
A high-capacity feeder can reduce loading interruptions on repeated jobs. It adds installed width and working-access needs. Four main drawers may already be enough when print volumes are modest but stocks vary.
Compare included equipment and support
Some comparable A3 configurations price the feeder separately or include fewer main drawers. Compare the whole supplied package, then apply service rates to your actual colour and mono use. Purchase, lease and rental terms should be clear alongside UK-wide support arrangements.
Who should choose it?
The C3135 Is a Good Fit When...
It makes sense if you...
- Need several paper sizes or stocks ready in separate drawers
- Scan routine double-sided records as well as printing
- Want the standard 130-sheet single-pass feeder included
- Can match 35ppm to shared reports and real peak jobs
- Need supported heavier print media or SRA3 layouts
- Prepare stapled reports, punched packs or booklets with suitable options
- Want purchase, lease or rental with agreed UK-wide service and repair
We would compare another option if you...
- Only need light A4 printing with minimal finishing
- Regularly run long jobs that would justify a faster engine
- Need a larger original stack than the 130-sheet feeder holds
- Need scanning beyond the published 160ipm duplex rating
- Assume 300gsm applies to every finisher or booklet layout
- Have not allowed space for optional feeding and finishing
- Assume the illustrated high-capacity feeder or external finisher is standard

Choosing your configuration
What to Check Before Choosing a Katun Arivia C3135
Which documents and paper stocks repeat?
List normal A4, A3, letterhead, cover and specialist-stock work. Choose tray settings and media paths around those jobs.
Will the normal scan batch fit?
The standard feeder holds 130 sheets. Test two-sided files at the intended resolution, OCR setting and destination.
Which finished pack is needed?
Corner staples, punched sheets and folded booklets require different equipment. Provide a finished sample or page count.
Must hole punching be available later?
Check upgrade routes now. A C4 finisher must be supplied in the required punch version; punching cannot be added to that unit later.
Is the complete accessory list included?
Confirm the B4 or C4 installation kit and, for C4, the transport unit. Check current UK availability and supported paper.
What input configuration is being quoted?
The four-tray total is 2,170 sheets including bypass. Ask for the actual total and feeder option rather than a family maximum.
What does the agreement cost in use?
Compare equipment, term, condition and end arrangements separately from colour/mono rates, minimum charges, consumables, parts and labour.
Will it fit and connect properly?
Allow for open trays, servicing and optional finishing. Agree network, email, folders, authentication, software, training and postcode-based support terms.

Questions worth asking
Katun Arivia C3135 FAQ
Can I buy, lease or rent the Katun Arivia C3135?
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.
What makes this more than a print-speed upgrade?
The C3135 combines four main paper trays, 160ipm rated duplex scanning, a 10-inch panel and broader media support. These can matter more than a small speed increase when staff scan records or repeatedly switch paper.
How fast does it print?
Up to 35ppm A4 long-edge feed and 19ppm A3 in colour and mono. A theoretical 100-page A4 engine run takes about 2 minutes 51 seconds; processing, first page, paper and finishing affect actual time.
Is the single-pass feeder standard?
Yes. The standard 130-sheet feeder captures both sides without reversing each original. It is distinct from the larger feeder used by other models in the range.
Does 160ipm mean 160 double-sided sheets per minute?
No. IPM counts scanned sides. The duplex rating is 160ipm and the simplex rating 80ipm under A4 LEF, 200dpi, scan-to-folder conditions. Higher resolution, OCR and transfer affect complete file time.
Are four paper trays included?
The four-tray configuration has four 520-sheet main drawers, totalling 2,080 sheets, plus a 90-sheet bypass. That makes 2,170 sheets including the bypass. Confirm the exact supplied arrangement in your proposal.
What is the maximum paper capacity?
For the four-tray configuration, the B2 high-capacity feeder adds 2,940 sheets for a 5,110-sheet total including bypass. Do not assume a higher headline family total applies to every configuration.
Can it print 300gsm automatically on both sides?
Automatic duplex is specified for 52–300gsm under supported paper-size and stock conditions. This does not mean every 300gsm material or finisher combination is supported. Test the actual stock and confirm the complete paper path.
Is 1200 × 2400 dpi the scanning resolution?
No. It is an advertised print-resolution setting; scan resolution is up to 600 × 600 dpi. Driver and print-quality modes vary. Assess the result on your own documents rather than resolution figures alone.
Can it corner-staple, make booklets and hole-punch?
Compatible finishing configurations provide these functions. They are separate requirements: corner stapling does not fold or centre-staple a booklet. Tell us the finished size, page count, paper and hole pattern.
How many sheets can a booklet contain?
The B4 booklet option is rated up to 15 saddle-stapled sheets and the C4 booklet configuration up to 20 under their stated conditions. That typically means up to 60 or 80 pages respectively at four pages per sheet. Size, paper and covers affect limits.
Can I add hole punching later?
It depends on the finisher. The C4 punching function cannot be added later, so choose the correct punch version when ordering. Other routes need the compatible kit; confirm the actual upgrade path before choosing.
Would a smaller A4 machine be enough?
Possibly, for light A4-only output with little finishing. Check its scan feeder, workload, stock capacity and any future booklet or punching requirement. An A3 platform is useful when those functions or broader media handling are needed.
Can it connect wirelessly and scan to our systems?
Wireless LAN and Wi-Fi Direct require the relevant option. Confirm drivers, permissions, email, folder destinations, OCR and any cloud integration using a representative file. Mobile support depends on compatible devices and network setup.
What affects the complete price?
Equipment condition, trays, finishing, installation, software, lease term or rental period and service affect the proposal. Compare colour and mono charges against actual use and confirm minimum billing, exclusions and agreed cover.
