Bringing new meaning to the word "copy"

In addition to the 20-sheet Automatic Document Feeder, a built-in flatbed allows you to scan, copy, or fax a variety of originals in different shapes or sizes such as magazines, newspapers, ID cards, business cards, etc.
The ultimate in detailed reproduction
Colour Scanning with Flatbed and ADF
The KX-MB271 allows you to scan documents in colour or black-and-white at a high resolution of 600 dpi x 1200 dpi (with flatbed), or 600 dpi x 300 dpi with an 20-sheet Automatic Document Feeder. (Max. scanning resolution of 9600 dpi x 9600 dpi is available when interpolation is used.)

Multi-Function

3-in-1 multi-Function design dramatically improves business efficiency for every document-related task from copying to scanning and printing.

Copier Printer Scanner

Quality Laser Printing
The laser printer function helps assure high quality reproduction at 600 dpi x 600 dpi resolution in every document and drawing you want to print or copy.
USB 2.0 High-Speed PC Interface
The KX-MB271 comes standard with a USB 2.0 High-speed interface for easy connection to a PC. The bundled MultiFunction Station launcher software allows easy setup and selection of multiple functions.
High-Quality Image Reproduction
A CIS (Contact Image Sensor) makes possible high-speed scanning and high-resolution image reproduction even when the spine is raised slightly above the glass plate.

High-Quality Scanning

The KX-MB271 outputs scanning images with 24-bit colour gradations (48-bit input), or 8-bit black & white gray scales (16bit input).
High-Speed 18-ppm Laser Printing
The KX-MB271 boasts high-speed printing and copying at speeds of up to 18 pages per minute with quick warmup time of 15 seconds.

High-Resolution Copier

With resolution of up to 600 dpi x 600 dpi, sharp, clear copies are assured. Multiple copies of up to 99-sheet are possible.
Image Processing Software
When the Multi-Function Station launcher software is installed on your PC, you can easily access a variety of image processing functions from the graphical menu. With the Viewer (Scan) menu, you can choose Page View, Reduction, Rotate, Duplicate, and Cut and Paste functions. OCR function is also available in 1byte language designation models.
18-cpm Copy Speed 250-Sheet Paper Tray
Since the standard paper tray can hold up to 250-sheet, you dont have to worry about running out of paper out even during a high-volume print. The KX-MB271 delivers high speed copying of up to18 copies per minute, with a warmup time of 15 seconds.
