Super-Efficient Output
The MX-M503N/M453N/M363N/M283N delivers a fast output of
50/45/36/28 cpm/ppm*, enabling the production of large-
volume documents that include memory-intensive graphics in less
time. The first copy comes out in just 3.9/3.9/4.6/4.6 seconds to
save valuable time when performing multiple short-run jobs.
What’s more, the short, straight paper path minimises misfeeds,
saving you paper and
toner costs.

Productive Collated Output from Memory
The MX-M503N/M453N/M363N/M283N’s Scan Once/Print Many
function only requires a single scan of a multi-page original for
copying, and the RIP Once/Print Many function only needs to
download print data once from the PC for printing. The machine
then automatically saves the data into memory and outputs
collated sets of copies or printouts in the proper page order
(electronic sorting), with each set offset stacked for easier
retrieval.
Automatic Document Feeding
The MX-M503N/M453N/M363N comes standard with a highly
efficient 100-sheet DSPF (duplex single pass feeder), which scans
both pages of two-sided documents up to A3 (11" x 17") in size
in one pass. Doing away with the reversing circuit minimises paper
misfeeds and vastly improves reliability. With a scanning speed of
70 originals per minute (opm) for both two-sided and one-sided
originals, the MX-M503N/M453N/M363N finishes even large
projects quickly. The MX-M283N is equipped with a 100-sheet
RSPF (reversing single pass feeder) that has a scanning speed of
50 opm for one-sided originals and 20 opm for two-sided originals.
Network Tandem Function
When two MX-M503N/M453N/M363N/M283Ns are connected to
the same office network, you can use both simultaneously to
double copying/printing output to up to 100/90/72/56 cpm/ppm.
Large-volume jobs can be completed with ease, enabling you to
meet tight deadlines.
Polished Finishing
The MX-M503N/M453N/M363N/M283N makes it easy to create
professional-looking booklets. The newly designed Saddle Stitch
Finisher option staples documents up to 50 pages long and can
fold and staple sets of documents up to 15 pages long to make
completed booklets. It also features a new bi-folding function
that folds individual pages, up to size A3, in half—eliminating the
tedious task of folding pages by hand. A space-efficient Finisher
is also available for jobs that require only
simple sorting and stapling, while
another option, a 4,000-sheet Finisher,
speeds through large projects to give
you complete control over deadlines.
And, an optional Punch Module allows
you to punch holes in documents for
easy filing.
Large Paper Capacity
For high-volume work, the MX-M503N/M453N/M363N/M283N
can accommodate an optional 3,500-sheet large-capacity tray and
stand with 2 x 500-sheet paper
drawers for a total capacity of
5,600 sheets. The Auto Tray
Switching function automatically
switches to another paper tray
filled with the same size paper,
allowing you to do extra-large
volume jobs.
Job Build for Large-Volume Scanning
The MX-M503N/M453N/M363N/M283N easily handles large-
volume copy jobs exceeding the DSPF/RSPF’s 100-sheet*
1
capacity.
For example, a 270-sheet original can be scanned as batches of
100 + 100 + 70 sheets and automatically stored on the MX-
M503N/M453N/M363N/M283N’s hard disk*

. Users can then print
the entire document in a single run.

/2" x 11"), 80 g/m

*2: The number of pages that can be stored for the Job Build function
depends on the machine’s HDD capacity and other conditions.
Built-in Stackless Duplex Module
The MX-M503N/M453N/M363N/M283N can make two-sided
copies and printouts using its built-in stackless duplex module,
effectively reducing paper costs as well as saving filing space.
Duplex copying is even more effective when used together with
the DSPF/RSPF.

SUPERB IMAGE QUALITY
VERSATILE
Supports Most Office Environments
• The MX-M503N/M453N/M363N/M283N works as a network
printer with the latest and most commonly used operating systems
and network protocols, including IPv6, and even in mixed OS
environments. You get fast, powerful network printing via the
1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet standard.
• The MX-M503N/M453N/M363N/M283N supports PCL5e and PCL6
printer languages. For compatibility with PostScript 3, the MX-PKX1
PS3 Expansion Kit is available.
NETWORK-READY
Optimum Copy Quality
1,200-dpi resolution and 256-level greyscale ensure finely detailed
reproduction, while Digital Auto Exposure Control provides
optimum copy contrast. For best results, there are seven exposure
modes to choose from. Users can, for example, select Text mode
for text-only originals or Photo mode for detailed, high-quality
reproduction of photos and delicate halftone images.
USB Memory Direct Print
One of the two USB ports on the MX-M503N/M453N/M363N/
M283N is located at the front of the MFP beneath the control
panel. It comes in handy when printing
data directly from USB memory
devices—an indispensable function for
users who are in a hurry or who want
quick machine access without a PC.
Versatile Paper Handling
The MX-M503N/M453N/M363N/M283N accommodates a wide
range of paper sizes, from A5R (5
1
/2" x 8
1
/2"R) to A3W (12" x
18"). When using an optional finisher or exit tray, you can do A3
(11" x 17") full-bleed printing onto A3-wide (12" x 18") paper.
And thanks to its tandem printing method, the MX-M503N/
M453N/M363N/M283N can handle heavy paper stock up to 209
g/m
2
, overhead transparencies, and other types of paper, further
expanding the range of printing applications.
