The 1610x is Royal’s top-of-the-line paper shredder. The 1610x shreds paper into incredibly small 3mm by 6mm pieces, exceeding the requirements for HIPPA and the FACTA! If you run and business and must meet the requirements of a new law that took effect on June 1, 2005 - Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA) dealing with the proper disposal of consumer and employee documents and information - then this is the shredder for you! Identifier documents are one of the main causes for identity theft in our world today. With the Royal 1610X Crosscut Paper Shredder, you can be sure that all those documents will be shredded not in strips, but in confetti cut (cross cut). The Royal 1610X Crosscut Paper Shredder cuts paper into small pieces for extra security and reduces waste volume. This fascinating shredder can also shred unused credit cards, so you can be sure that you are protected from fraud or identity theft. The shredder is really easy to use with three modes: Power Off, Auto on/forward, and Reverse. When the shredder is in the "On" position, the blades shred continuously, while the "reverse" position helps unclog unwanted paper jams. The "Auto" mode shreds only when paper is detected, therefore it will automatically stop when shredding is complete.
