Speedy Copying with SOPM
The AL-1566’s Scan Once/Print Many (SOPM) function and Electronic Sorting* stores a scanned original into memory to quickly produce up to 99 copies of a document at a continuous copy rate of 15 cpm**. Plus its quick first copy time of just 9.6 seconds saves valuable time when performing multiple short-run jobs.
*The Electronic Sorting function automatically collates multiple sets of copies in page order without
the aid of a sorter. **Based on A4 or smaller documents using the same size copy mode.
Efficient Duplex Copying and RSPF
The AL-1566 comes standard with a single-pass duplex module that provides speedy and reliable duplex copying, effectively reducing paper costs as well as saving filing space. The built-in 30 sheet Reversing Single Pass Feeder (RSPF) can automatically feed in and make copies from single or two sided originals, eliminating the need to place and turn each page by hand.
High-Performance Laser Printing
Featuring a built-in PC interface, the AL-1566 can print from computers running popular Windows® operating systems at a rapid 15 ppm (max.). A number of convenient printing functions are available, including duplex printing and Network Printing.
Full-Colour Scanning with Bundled Software
The AL-1566 also works as a full-colour scanner, complete with powerful utility software. Button
Manager lets you scan documents directly into applications on your PC. Up to six pre-registered
applications are available, including Sharpdesk™, e-mail, PC-fax, OCR, Microsoft® Word and a different
application of your choice. Operation is quick and easy – simply press the Scan button, select an application from the scan menu and press Start! Sharpdesk™ desktop document management software allows you to easily browse through, edit, sort and file your scanned documents.
600 dpi Printing Resolution
The AL-1566 uses a high-performance 600 dpi digital laser printing engine to produce ultra clear printouts and copies. This high printing resolution ensures that all details of the original document, including fine text, charts, and even photographs, come out clear and legible.
High Speed Fax Operation
The Super G3 Fax enables the AL-1566 to act as a fax machine featuring a fast modem speed of 33.6Kbps. Using JBIG data compression means you can send an A4 size page in approx. 3 seconds*. And the RSPF allows scanning of both sides of a two-sided document.
*Based on ITU-T test chart No. 1 at standard resolution.
