Katun Arivia M2130: Mono Output, Colour Capture and Room to Grow
A sensible starting point when the printed work is mostly text, but document capture still needs colour. Contracts, statements and internal reports can use the 30ppm black-and-white engine while the scanner retains colour diagrams, highlighted notes and signed originals in digital files. It cannot print or copy in colour.
The included 130-sheet single-pass feeder is a useful part of the starting package. Both sides are captured without reversing each original. Some equivalent A3 mono systems price their feeder separately, so compare the complete supplied equipment rather than the bare machine price.
A3 capability and compatible finishing give this model more scope than a basic A4 desktop setup. Add drawers for regularly used sizes, corner staples for reports, punching for binders or a booklet unit for folded guides. For occasional short A4 jobs, a smaller machine may cost less; for frequent long runs, a faster engine may justify its extra cost.

1. Document feeder & scanning
Capture Colour Files on a Mono Machine
The included 130-sheet single-pass feeder scans both sides without reversing each original.
Why this is useful
Accounts teams can capture signed agreements, invoices and marked-up records in colour while keeping printed paperwork black and white. Compare the complete package where an equivalent system requires a feeder option.
What to weigh up
The duplex rating is 80ipm, not 160ipm. This is capable routine office capture, but some comparable configurations advertise faster scanning. Resolution, OCR, file processing and transfer affect the time until a usable file arrives. Single-pass feeding does not guarantee fewer jams with damaged originals.
2. Controls & workflow
Make Routine Jobs Easy to Repeat
The seven-inch colour touchscreen provides the controls; a colour screen does not mean colour printing.
Why this is useful
Agree normal copy settings and approved scan destinations for finance, reception or administration. Consistent presets can reduce repeated decisions and help occasional users send files to the correct place.
What to weigh up
Larger screens are available on comparable equipment. Test the actual tasks with staff rather than judging by size alone. Confirm authentication, required software, email and folder access. Wireless LAN and Wi-Fi Direct require the relevant option.
3. Mono print engine
30ppm for Everyday Paperwork, with a Quick First Copy
Print and copy output is black and white. The machine can still scan originals in colour.
Why this is useful
The first-copy figure matters for walk-up copying of a few pages; engine speed matters more for longer reports. A theoretical 100-page A4 run takes 3 minutes 20 seconds at 30ppm, compared with four minutes at 25ppm.
What to weigh up
These engine calculations exclude processing, the first page, stock and finishing. First-copy time is not PC-to-first-print time. Regular long runs may justify a faster engine, while colour charts or client proposals that must print in colour require a colour device.
4. Bypass & specialist media
Keep Letterheads and Occasional Stock Separate
The 100-sheet bypass provides a separate route while normal paper stays in the main tray.
Why this is useful
Approved letterheads or forms can be loaded for a particular task without replacing everyday paper. Suitable heavier stock can serve as a mono report cover through the supported path.
What to weigh up
The 256gsm main-tray limit does not apply to the bypass or automatic double-sided output. Comparable systems can offer heavier duplex stock. Check size, stock, settings and finishing together, particularly for double-sided covers.
5. Paper supply
Start with a Ream, Add Drawers for Repeated Sizes
Standard input is 620 sheets: a 520-sheet main drawer and a 100-sheet bypass.
Why this is useful
One main drawer accommodates a full ream of ordinary office paper. Extra drawers make sense when A4, A3 and a recurring form must remain ready together. Larger-capacity options can reduce loading interruptions on repeated common-stock work.
What to weigh up
The photograph includes optional drawers. Some comparable 30ppm A3 mono systems include two main trays, so compare complete packages. Maximum capacity requires the tandem module and B1 feeder; that feeder serves specified common sizes rather than every paper format.
6. Output & finishing
Finish Reports, Binder Packs or Booklets Around the Work
Number 6 marks the output area. The pictured base arrangement does not include the optional external finisher.
Why this is useful
Corner staples keep meeting reports together, punching prepares binder sets and the booklet unit folds and centre-staples guides. Specify the task staff repeat so the accessory removes useful manual work.
What to weigh up
*Fifteen sheets normally represent up to 60 booklet pages at four pages per sheet. Stock, size and covers affect limits. A corner stapler does not make booklets. B4 needs the appropriate tray module and installation kit; confirm punch pattern, UK 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 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 M2130 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 M2130 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 it adds a handling step; compare the actual scan-speed ratings with a dual-scan feeder. It can be quite sufficient for occasional smaller batches. The M2130’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 M2130, 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 dots per inch for printing or samples per inch for scanning. The M2130 lists high-resolution printing up to 1200 × 1200 dpi and scanning up to 600 × 600 dpi. Those describe different tasks. These figures are common in this class; assess text, fine lines and scanned detail using your own documents.
- CPC — Cost Per Copy
- Cost Per Copy is a service charge per counted page. This is a mono-output machine, so compare the proposed black-and-white rate, A3 and duplex counting, minimum billing, consumables, parts, labour and exclusions. Ask how scanning is treated; colour scanning does not turn a printed page into colour output.
- FCOT — First Copy Out Time
- First Copy Out Time measures the first copy under specified conditions. The M2130 is listed at approximately 4.5 seconds for A4 long-edge-feed copying. It matters for short walk-up jobs, but it is separate from waking the machine, processing a PC print file and the continuous print speed.
- 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 M2130 Figures Mean for Your Office
Useful when: Contracts, invoices and reports are shared across a team.
Keep it in perspective: 100 pages take 3 minutes 20 seconds of theoretical engine time. Real jobs include processing and other stages.
Useful when: Larger spreadsheets and schedules need a readable working copy.
Keep it in perspective: A3 has its own lower rate. The machine scans colour but cannot print or copy colour.
Useful when: Routine double-sided files should fit in one feeder load.
Keep it in perspective: Capacity depends on original weight, condition and loading. Remove clips and unsuitable originals.
Useful when: Paper records need automatic two-sided digital capture.
Keep it in perspective: Counts sides at A4 LEF, 200dpi to folder. The duplex rating is not doubled to 160ipm.
Useful when: A ream stays in the main drawer and occasional stock uses the bypass.
Keep it in perspective: Extra drawers are optional; include them when A4 and A3 must remain loaded together.
Useful when: Two-sided mono reports use approved stock within the range.
Keep it in perspective: Main-tray single-sided printing has a different maximum. Check covers and finishing separately.
Choose around the work
Where the M2130 Could Work Well in Your Business
Keep printed work mono without losing colour records
Invoices, statements and contracts often need black-and-white output. The colour scanner can retain highlighted sections or original colour diagrams digitally. If the finished printed document needs colour, choose a colour machine instead.
Compare what arrives in the starting package
The 130-sheet single-pass feeder is included. Some equivalent A3 mono systems offer their feeder separately. Compare supplied cost, capacity and scan mechanism before treating two base prices as equivalent.
Think about the first few pages as well as long runs
The published first-copy time is about 4.5 seconds. That is relevant when staff copy one agreement or a few forms. Sleep recovery is a separate stage and computer printing includes file processing.
Use 30ppm where repeated medium jobs justify it
A theoretical 100-page A4 run takes 3 minutes 20 seconds, 40 seconds less than at 25ppm. Frequent long runs and queues may justify a faster engine; occasional short jobs gain less from another speed increase.
Keep schedules and larger tables readable
A3 output can help with spreadsheets and larger working plans even when most output is A4. Separate drawers keep both formats ready. Light A4-only work may suit a smaller, less expensive device.
Add corner stapling when sets repeat
A compatible finisher keeps each report together as it prints. Confirm page size, staple positions and supported sheet count. Occasional tiny packs may not justify the accessory cost and footprint.
Specify the booklet maker explicitly
A folded, centre-stapled guide needs the compatible B4 booklet unit. It is different from corner stapling. Provide finished size, page count and cover stock so the complete configuration can be checked.
Plan punching for current and future work
A compatible B4 punch can prepare pages for binders. Specify the hole pattern and likely future need. Check that a smaller alternative has the required attachment route before giving up that flexibility.
Check the limits that affect your real work
The included scanner is useful, but some comparable configurations scan faster. This model also has lower bypass and duplex weight limits than some alternatives. Test representative files and paper instead of choosing by one headline number.
Compare a mono workflow on its actual usage
Mono equipment may suit a text-heavy budget, but savings depend on the quoted equipment, service and work mix. Include drawers, finishing, installation and any retained colour device. Buy, lease or rent with UK-wide support terms agreed for the postcode.
Who should choose it?
The M2130 Is a Good Fit When...

Choosing your configuration
What to Check Before Choosing a Katun Arivia M2130
Does printed output need colour?
The scanner captures colour, but printing and copying are mono. Include any separate colour workflow in the cost comparison.
Which jobs justify 30ppm?
Use typical run lengths and peak queues. Compare the complete price of a faster engine when long batches repeat.
What should scanning deliver?
Test representative two-sided originals at the required resolution, OCR setting and destination. The rated 80ipm counts sides.
Which stock needs automatic duplex?
Check the 60–169gsm duplex range separately from 60–256gsm main-tray and 60–216gsm bypass printing.
Which sizes must remain loaded?
Only one 520-sheet main drawer is standard. Name additional drawers or the tandem module in the proposal.
Which finishing will staff use?
Specify corner staples, booklet pages, covers and hole pattern. B4 finishing needs a compatible tray module and installation kit.
What does the service rate include?
Confirm mono billing, A3 and duplex counting, minimum charges, scanning treatment, consumables, parts, labour and exclusions.
Will the installed system fit and connect?
Allow loading, collection and service access. Agree drivers, email, folders, authentication, training, optional Wi-Fi and postcode-based support terms.

Questions worth asking
Katun Arivia M2130 FAQ
Can I buy, lease or rent the Katun Arivia M2130?
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.
Can a mono machine scan in colour?
Yes. The M2130 scans in colour and black and white, but its printed and copied output is black and white. Colour scanning does not provide colour printing.
Is the single-pass feeder included?
Yes. The standard 130-sheet DADF captures both sides without reversing each original. Extra paper drawers and finishing remain separate options.
How fast does it print A4 and A3?
Up to 30ppm A4 long-edge feed and 17ppm A3 in mono. Other A4 orientation is rated 23ppm. Stock, document, quality adjustments and finishing can affect throughput.
What does its 80ipm scan rating mean?
It counts scanned sides under A4 LEF, 200dpi, scan-to-folder conditions. Colour and mono, simplex and duplex are rated up to 80ipm. Do not double the duplex figure to 160ipm. OCR, processing and transfer affect complete file time.
Is 1200 × 1200 dpi the scanner resolution?
No. That is the high-resolution print setting. Scanning is specified up to 600 × 600 dpi. These are common figures in this class; compare actual text, line and scan samples.
How much paper is standard?
620 sheets: one 520-sheet main drawer plus a 100-sheet bypass. The 520-sheet figure alone excludes the bypass. The photograph shows optional extra drawers.
How can input capacity expand?
A three-tray module gives 2,180 sheets total. A tandem configuration gives 3,190; adding the B1 feeder increases this to 5,190, including bypass. Confirm supported sizes, installed space and supplied configuration.
Can it duplex 256gsm paper?
No. Automatic duplex supports 60–169gsm under specified conditions. The main tray reaches 256gsm for supported single-sided work, while the bypass reaches 216gsm. Check the whole job and finishing route.
Can it corner-staple, make booklets and hole-punch?
Compatible options provide these separate functions. A2 provides stapling; B4 supports the appropriate punch and booklet unit. B4 installation requires a compatible tray module and installation kit. Confirm the hole pattern and finished sample.
What is the booklet capacity?
The B4 booklet option is rated for up to 15 saddle-stapled sheets under stated conditions, normally up to 60 pages at four pages per sheet. Size, stock and covers affect limits. A corner stapler does not fold and centre-staple booklets.
Would an A4 machine cost less?
It may, especially for light short A4 jobs. Compare supplied cost, scanner, paper capacity, workload and future finishing. Do not choose a machine without the required booklet or punch attachment route if those tasks are likely.
When is a faster engine worthwhile?
When repeated long runs or shared print queues cause delays. A theoretical 100-page A4 run takes 3 minutes 20 seconds at 30ppm and about 2 minutes 13 seconds at 45ppm, before other stages. Print speed alone does not establish scan speed.
Does it include Wi-Fi and searchable scanning?
Wireless LAN and Wi-Fi Direct need the relevant option. Confirm email, folder, searchable-PDF/OCR workflow, permissions and software using a representative file. AirPrint and Mopria support also require a suitable network setup.
What affects the complete price?
Equipment condition, trays, finishing, software, installation, lease term or rental period and support affect the proposal. Check the mono service rate, A3/duplex counting, minimum billing, scanning treatment and agreed cover. Include any separate colour device you still need.
