Description
The AutoMax 200M is for the paperwork pile that takes too long to feed a few sheets at a time. Load a suitable stack into the automatic tray and let the feed mechanism work through it, while keeping the manual slot available for smaller, immediate jobs.
The two capacities describe different workflows: 200 sheets in the tray does not mean you can push that thickness through the manual opening. Preparing a compatible stack and checking the bin before starting helps the automatic process finish with fewer interruptions.
Features
- 200-sheet automatic loading: reduces repeated hand feeding for compatible paper batches.
- 10-sheet manual feed: handles short jobs without loading a full tray.
- P-5 micro-cut: reduces documents to small particles rather than long strips.
- Auto Reverse: assists with paper-feed jams by stopping and reversing.
- 8.5-gallon pull-out bin: collects the shredded material and removes for disposal.

Use the right feed for the job
Keep an eye on pages with attached labels, unusual folds or non-paper components before placing them in a batch. Automatic feeding saves repeated loading, but it does not remove the need to sort incompatible material or maintain the cutters.
| A prepared paper stack | Use the automatic tray within its capacity and loading instructions. |
|---|---|
| A few loose sheets | Use the manual slot and its lower 10-sheet limit. |
| Cards and unusual material | Check the designated manual-feed instructions instead of placing them in the automatic tray. |
| A long archive cleanout | Allow for bin emptying and the runtime/cooling instructions for the supplied revision. |
Common questions
Does it shred 200 sheets all at once?
No. The tray holds up to 200 compatible sheets and feeds them through the cutting mechanism progressively.
How is it different from the AutoMax 200C?
The 200M is the micro-cut P-5 model. The 200C uses cross-cut output; similar loading capacities do not make the cut type identical.
Are staples supported?
The listing and AutoMax documentation support ordinary stapled paper within the specified loading method. Follow the manual’s limits on staple position and other attachments.
What runtime should I plan around?
Runtime specifications differ among regional versions and production references. Use the manual supplied with item 4656201, and schedule cooling and bin-emptying breaks for extended clearouts.
