AL-2041 Digital Multifunctional System A Compact Efficiency Booster with Duplexing and Full-Colour Scanning Copy Print Colour Scan Sharpdesk AL-2041 Digital Multifunctional System Speedy Copying and Quick First Copy Time The AL-2041 has a quick first copy time of 8.0 seconds to save valuable time when performing multiple short-run jobs. And with a continuous copy rate of 20 cpm, you can do more copy jobs in less time. One-Touch ID Card Copy The AL-2041 has a dedicated key for easy copying of both sides of a card (ID cards, credit cards, etc.) onto a single page. 20 CPM SOPM and Electronic Sorting CARD CARD Front Back Superb Image Quality The AL-2041’s Scan Once/Print Many (SOPM) function does one scan of multiple-page documents and stores them in memory for making up to 99 copies of each page. The Electronic Sorting function then automatically collates multiple sets of copies in page order without the aid of a sorter. 600-dpi resolution and 256-level greyscale ensure finely detailed reproduction, while Digital Auto Exposure Control provides optimum copy contrast. For the best results, users can select Text mode for text-only originals or Photo mode that gives detailed, high-quality reproduction of photos and delicate halftone images. Fast Printing with Sharp Technology Other Key Features The AL-2041 is a high-performance printer incorporating 20 Sharp Printer Language with Compression (SPLC) PPM technology. SPLC effectively reduces the data size of print jobs, speeding up the data transfer time and printing process while improving overall throughput. Also, the RIP Once/Print Many (ROPM) function saves print data in the AL-2041’s internal memory and transfers it to output at a quick rate of 20 ppm in 600-dpi resolution. • Wide zoom range from 25% to 400% with 5 preset ratios • 250-sheet paper tray + 50-sheet multi-bypass feeder • Cost-efficient Toner Save mode • Pre-Heat/Auto Power Shut-Off modes • Space-saving wingless design Specifications (tentative) GENERAL Built-In Duplex Module and SPF Type Paper size Paper capacity First copy time*1 Warm-up time Memory Power requirements Power consumption (max.)
