Katun Arivia C4165: Choose the Extra Speed When Long Runs Justify It
The C4165 is the print-throughput choice when regular long jobs occupy a shared machine for too much of the day. Its 65ppm A4 engine and 32ppm A3 output sit alongside the tandem paper supply, so a suitable common stock can stay available between refills. That combination is useful when several departments depend on repeated reports or packs.
A theoretical 1,000-page A4 run takes about 15 minutes 23 seconds of engine time, compared with 18 minutes 11 seconds at 55ppm. That is roughly 2 minutes 48 seconds less before processing, the first page, stock and finishing are considered. Repeat work makes this saving more relevant than occasional short jobs do.
The scanner remains rated at 135ipm simplex and 270ipm duplex through the included 250-sheet single-pass feeder. Choose the faster engine for printing, then specify the finishing around the actual packs: the smaller A2 finisher is not compatible with this model. If scanning dominates or most output is light A4 work, compare a less costly configuration against the complete workflow.

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
Keep a Capable Included Scanner Beside the Faster Engine
The standard 250-sheet single-pass feeder captures both sides without reversing each original.
Why this is useful
Larger accounts files, signed records or administration packs can be captured in batches. Both sides are scanned in one pass, while the larger original capacity can reduce the need to split a normal file into several loads.
What to weigh up
This scanner rating is shared with lower print-speed configurations in the range. The 65ppm engine does not increase it. IPM counts sides rather than double-sided sheets; OCR, resolution, transfer and the destination affect complete file time. Compare scan-heavy work separately.
2. Controls & workflow
Make a Busy Central Device Consistent to Use
The 10-inch colour touchscreen supports the normal paper, copying and scan choices around a shared department.
Why this is useful
Agree report presets, sensible colour defaults and approved scan destinations. Consistent settings can help occasional users submit work correctly and reduce repeated decisions when several teams share the same equipment.
What to weigh up
A large panel is common in this class. Confirm that the required authentication, software, OCR and any cloud integration work with your systems. Wireless LAN and Wi-Fi Direct require the relevant option; mobile support does not mean a wireless card is included.
3. Print engine
65ppm for Repeated Long Jobs, with 32ppm A3 Output
Colour and monochrome share the headline A4 rate. Larger paper has its own speed rating.
Why this is useful
A theoretical 1,000-page A4 engine run takes about 15 minutes 23 seconds, roughly 2 minutes 48 seconds less than at 55ppm. Repeated long reports and document sets can make that gain useful, particularly when a shared queue builds behind them.
What to weigh up
Short jobs gain less because processing and the first page account for more of the wait. Paper choice, quality adjustments, duplexing and finishing can change throughput. Do not assume a finisher completes every job at the headline engine rate. First-copy times are not PC-to-first-print times.
4. Bypass & specialist media
Keep Media Flexibility Alongside the Higher Print Rate
The main print paths, 90-sheet bypass and automatic duplex support specified media from 52 to 300gsm.
Why this is useful
Suitable heavier covers and two-sided presentation documents can stay on the same device as ordinary office output. The bypass provides a separate route for occasional stock while regular paper remains loaded.
What to weigh up
Tray sections have different size and loading roles within the tandem layout. A 300gsm maximum does not approve every coated or textured paper or finishing combination. Long-paper printing has separate weight, size and output rules; test the complete job on the intended stock.
5. Paper supply
Keep Common Stock Ready Through Repeated Runs
The tandem configuration provides 3,110 sheets in the main supply plus a 90-sheet bypass: 3,200 sheets total.
Why this is useful
The larger-capacity sections help where a common paper stock is used repeatedly. Configure the flexible drawers for other supported sizes or stocks, so the paper layout fits the work rather than just the largest advertised capacity.
What to weigh up
Capacity reduces replenishment interruptions; it does not make the engine faster. Confirm the supplied layout, supported paper and access space. Additional feeders are worthwhile when refills interrupt work, but can be unnecessary for modest daily output.
6. Output & finishing
Specify B4 or C4 Finishing Around the Actual Document
Number 6 marks the optional external finishing equipment shown. The A2 finisher is not compatible with the C4165.
Why this is useful
Corner staples keep report sets together, punching prepares binder packs and booklet finishing folds and centre-staples guides. Matching these tasks to the work staff repeat can remove manual assembly after a long print run.
What to weigh up
*Limits vary with size, stock and covers. Fifteen sheets typically give 60 booklet pages; twenty give 80. C4 finishing needs the transport unit. Specify its punch version initially because punching cannot be added later. Check job throughput, UK availability and installed space; do not inherit an A2 option from another model.
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 45ppm and 65ppm 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 C4165 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 C4165 uses the name DADF for its standard 250-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 C4165’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 C4165, the included 250-sheet DADF scans both sides in one pass; its rated scan speed is separate from the 65ppm 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 C4165 Figures Mean for Your Office
Useful when: Repeated long print jobs occupy a shared central machine.
Keep it in perspective: 1,000 pages take about 15 minutes 23 seconds of theoretical engine time. Real jobs include other stages and may run more slowly.
Useful when: Larger schedules, plans or suitable booklet layouts are regular work.
Keep it in perspective: A3 throughput is lower than A4. Choose on the actual large-paper demand rather than applying 65ppm to every size.
Useful when: A common stock is consumed repeatedly and refills interrupt runs.
Keep it in perspective: The main supply holds 3,110 sheets and the bypass 90. Confirm the supplied layout and supported sizes.
Useful when: Larger scan files should fit into fewer loads.
Keep it in perspective: Original condition, weight and loading matter. A larger stack capacity does not guarantee fewer jams.
Useful when: Two-sided records need routine batch capture.
Keep it in perspective: Counts sides at A4 LEF, 200dpi to folder. This rating is shared with lower print-speed configurations; OCR and transfer affect file time.
Useful when: Approved covers or heavier double-sided documents form part of the job mix.
Keep it in perspective: Size, stock and finishing restrictions remain. Confirm a supported complete route rather than assuming every material will work.
Choose around the work
Where the C4165 Could Work Well in Your Business
Make the print-speed premium answer a real queue
A theoretical 1,000-page A4 run is about 2 minutes 48 seconds shorter at 65ppm than at 55ppm. Repeated work can make that worthwhile. A few short reports may not create enough waiting time to justify the same upgrade.
Keep larger documents moving at their own rate
A3 output is rated up to 32ppm in colour and mono. Larger schedules, plans and suitable booklet layouts can stay in-house. Compare those jobs separately from the 65ppm A4 headline.
Consider when output is needed, not just how much
Several teams can create a busy queue at particular times even when the monthly total seems reasonable. Map deadlines and typical job lengths so the engine speed addresses the real interruption.
Use the tandem layout for repeated output
The substantial main supply can reduce refilling on repeated common-stock jobs. Flexible drawers serve other supported sizes or stocks. Confirm which paper belongs in each section instead of treating every section as identical.
Do not buy 65ppm to obtain the same scanner
The included 250-sheet feeder is capable, but the 270ipm duplex rating is shared with lower print-speed configurations. Some comparable equipment advertises 280ipm and a 300-sheet feeder. Compare complete file time and supplied cost.
Choose the compatible finishing route carefully
This model does not accept the A2 finisher. B4 and C4 configurations provide the appropriate stapling and booklet routes. Define the finished size, pages, covers and frequency before choosing the equipment.
Decide on punching before ordering
If staff regularly prepare binder records, the correct punch can remove a repeated manual batch. The C4 punch version must be chosen initially. Confirm the hole pattern and any future requirement before the proposal is finalised.
Test the real output rather than the largest number
Supported 300gsm paths, SRA3 and high-resolution print settings offer scope for suitable work. They do not guarantee compatibility with every cover or universally better output. Use your normal files and intended stock for a sample.
Keep an honest alternative in view
A slower A3 or compact A4 device may cost less for short, light jobs. Conversely, specialised sustained work may need a different workflow or equipment class. Discuss volume, stock, finishing and deadlines together.
Plan space, support and costs around the options
External finishing and additional feeding extend the footprint. Allow room to load, collect and service the machine. Compare purchase, lease or rental costs alongside clear UK-wide maintenance and repair arrangements for the location.
Who should choose it?
The C4165 Is a Good Fit When...
It makes sense if you...
- Repeatedly produce longer A4 colour or mono runs
- Can demonstrate shared print queues that more speed would help
- Need regular A3 output alongside everyday A4 work
- Would use substantial common-stock paper capacity
- Want the standard 250-sheet single-pass scanner included
- Need compatible B4/C4 stapling, booklets, punching or folding
- Want purchase, lease or rental with agreed UK-wide service and repair
We would compare another option if you...
- Mostly print occasional short A4 documents
- Need more scan speed rather than more print throughput
- Would leave most paper capacity unused
- Need the smaller A2 finisher fitted
- Assume every stock or finished job runs at 65ppm
- Have not allowed installed space for selected options
- Assume the pictured external finishing equipment is standard

Choosing your configuration
What to Check Before Choosing a Katun Arivia C4165
Which runs justify 65ppm?
Use actual job lengths, frequency, deadlines and waiting time. Compare the gain over a lower-speed engine against complete supplied cost.
Is scanning a separate bottleneck?
The 270ipm duplex rating is shared with lower print-speed configurations. Test files through OCR and delivery, not just original feeding.
How will the tandem sections be loaded?
Identify common-stock output and other supported sizes or materials. Confirm each section’s role and the supplied 3,200-sheet total including bypass.
Is the finisher compatible with this exact model?
The A2 cannot be installed on the C4165. Confirm the B4/C4 route, any transport equipment and current UK availability.
What finished documents repeat?
Specify corner staples, binder holes, booklets and folding separately. Provide finished samples, paper, covers and page counts.
Could punching be required in future?
A C4 unit must be supplied in its required punch version because punching cannot be added later. Confirm the proposed upgrade path.
What will the agreement cost in use?
Separate equipment condition, term and end arrangements from colour/mono rates, minimum billing, consumables, labour and exclusions.
Will the installed system fit and connect?
Allow loading, collection and service access. Confirm suitable site power, network, email, folders, authentication, software, training and postcode-based support terms.

Questions worth asking
Katun Arivia C4165 FAQ
Can I buy, lease or rent the Katun Arivia C4165?
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.
When does the C4165 make more sense than a slower engine?
When recurring long jobs and shared print queues make the extra throughput useful. A theoretical 1,000-page A4 engine run takes about 15 minutes 23 seconds at 65ppm, compared with 18 minutes 11 seconds at 55ppm. Actual jobs include other stages.
Is 65ppm also its A3 speed?
No. The headline is up to 65ppm A4 long-edge feed in colour and mono. A3 is rated up to 32ppm. Orientation, stock, quality adjustments and finishing can affect throughput.
Does faster printing mean faster scanning?
No. The standard scanner is rated up to 135ipm simplex and 270ipm duplex, shared with lower print-speed configurations in the range. Choose the engine for print demand and assess document capture separately.
Is the 250-sheet single-pass feeder included?
Yes. It captures both sides without reversing each original. Capacity depends on original condition, weight and correct loading. The scan rating uses A4 LEF, 200dpi, scan to folder and counts sides, not double-sided sheets.
How much paper is included in the tandem configuration?
The detailed configuration has 3,110 sheets in the main supply plus a 90-sheet bypass: 3,200 total. Confirm the exact supplied tray layout and supported sizes in the proposal.
How can paper capacity expand?
The B1 feeder adds 2,000 sheets for a 5,200-sheet total including bypass. The B2 adds 2,940 for a 6,140-sheet total. Confirm the selected option, supported stock and installed space.
Can it print 300gsm automatically on both sides?
Automatic duplex is specified for 52–300gsm under supported size and stock conditions. That does not establish compatibility with every 300gsm material or finishing route. Test the actual stock and complete job.
Is 1200 × 2400 dpi also the scanner resolution?
No. It is an advertised print-resolution setting. Scan resolution is up to 600 × 600 dpi. Driver and print-quality modes vary; compare actual output samples on your own stock.
Can the A2 finisher be fitted?
No. The manufacturer states that the A2 unit cannot be installed on the C4165. Specify a compatible B4 or C4 configuration for the finishing required.
Can it corner-staple, make booklets and hole-punch?
Compatible B4/C4 configurations provide these functions. Corner stapling does not fold or centre-staple booklets. Tell us the finished size, pages, covers and hole pattern so the correct options are specified.
What are the booklet capacities?
The B4 booklet option is rated up to 15 saddle-stapled sheets and the C4 booklet configuration up to 20 under stated conditions. Those typically represent up to 60 or 80 pages at four pages per sheet. Paper, size and covers affect limits.
Can hole punching be added later?
It depends on the finisher. A C4 unit must be supplied in the required punch version because punching cannot be added later. Confirm the actual accessory route before choosing the equipment.
Would an A4 machine or a lower-speed A3 model be enough?
Possibly, if output is light, jobs are short or the extra paper capacity would sit unused. Check scan performance and any future booklet, punching or heavier-media requirement separately before choosing less equipment.
Can it connect wirelessly and scan to our systems?
Wireless LAN and Wi-Fi Direct require the relevant option. Confirm drivers, authentication, email, folders, 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, input and finishing options, installation, software, finance term or rental period and service affect the proposal. Apply colour and mono rates to actual use and confirm minimum billing, exclusions and agreed cover.
