Improving productivity is key to the Aficio™MP 1600L and MP 2000LN, which provide high productivity at 16 and 20 pages per minute respectively. The warm up time is less than 15 seconds, with a first output time of less than 6.5 seconds. The Aficio™MP 1600L holds up to 1,350 sheets while the MP 2000LN holds up to 1,600 sheets.

The new systems are designed for easy operation, even by occasional or novice users. This is achieved through a straightforward operation panel and wizards for easy document processing. To scan books and magazines, users simply need to put them on the platen glass. Once scanned, documents are stored and reproduced from the memory. While the systems are virtually maintenance free, the full front accessibility allows for easy access.
