CAUTIONS

Follow the cautions below when using this copier.

WARNING:

●

The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area when removing misfed paper.

●

Do not look directly at the light source. Doing so may damage your eyes.

CAUTION:

●

The socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

●

Place the copier on a firm, level surface.

●

Do not install the copier in a humid or dusty location.

●

When the copier is not used for a long time, for example, during prolonged holidays, turn the power switch off and remove the power cord from the outlet.

●

When moving the copier, be sure to turn the power switch off and remove the power cord from the outlet.

●

Do not cover the copier with a dust cover, cloth or plastic film while the power is on. Doing so may prevent heat dissipation, damaging the copier.

●

Do not drop the copier, subject it to shock or strike it against any object.

●

Store spare toner cartridges in a cool dry place without removing from the package before use. If they are exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat, poor copies may result.

●

Do not touch the photoconductive drum (green portion). Scratches or smudges on the drum will cause dirty copies.

●

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.

COPIER INSTALLATION

Improper installation may damage the copier. Please note the following during initial installation and whenever the copier is moved.

CAUTION:

If the copier is moved from a cool place to a warm place, condensation may form inside the copier. Operation in this condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave the copier at room temperature for at least 2 hours before use.

GETTING STARTED

Do not install your copier in areas that are:

●

damp, humid, or very dusty

●

exposed to direct sunlight

●

poorly ventilated

●

subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air conditioner or heater.

The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection and disconnection.

COPIER INSTALLATION

Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the specified voltage and current requirements (See page 89.). Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.

●

For this copier's power supply requirements, see the name plate located on the back of the unit.

NOTE:

Connect the copier to a power outlet which is not used for other electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is connected to the same outlet, the light may flicker.

Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing and proper ventilation.

A small amount of ozone is produced within the copier during operation. The emission level is insufficient to cause any health hazard.

NOTE:

The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm

(0.2 mg/m However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable odor, it is advisable to place the copier in a ventilated area.

) calculated as an 8 hr. time-weighted average concentration.

MAIN FEATURES

High-speed laser copying

●

First-copy time at 600 dpi (not in the super photo mode) is only 4.8 seconds (except when recovering from a power save mode or immediately after power on).

●

GETTING STARTED

Copying speed is 23 copies/min. (AR-235) or 27 copies/min. (AR-275) at 600 dpi (not in the super photo mode), which lends itself for business use, providing improvement in working efficiency.

High-quality digital image

●

High-quality copying at 600 dpi or 1200 dpi (super photo mode) is performed.

●

In addition to the automatic exposure mode, the text, text/photo, photo, and super photo exposure modes can be adjusted in five steps.

●

The photo mode and super photo mode copying functions allow clear copying of delicate halftone original images such as monochrome photos and colour photos. These modes are adjustable in five steps. The super photo mode allows high resolution copying at 1200 dpi.

Substantial copying features

●

Zoom copies can be made from 25% to 400% in 1% increments at 600 dpi. (At 1200 dpi (super photo mode), the zoom copy ratio range is 50% to 200%.)

●

Up to 999 copies can be made in a single run.

●

Automatic two-sided copying can be performed.

●

Multiple sets of copies can be sorted without the aid of a sorter and each set can be offset from the previous set.

●

Useful special features such as erase, margin shift, 2 in 1 and 4 in 1, XY zoom, black and white reverse, and dual page copy are available.

●

Key operator programs allow the setting or modification of functions to meet your specific needs. Also the key operator programs allow the internal auditor to be controlled.

Scan once/ Print many

●

The copier is equipped with a memory buffer allowing the copier to scan an original once and make up to 999 copies of the scanned image. This improves workflow, reduces operating noise from the copier and reduces wear and tear on the scanning mechanism, which provides for a higher reliability.

Optional features

●

An optional single pass feeder (SPF) allows automatic document feeding of up to 30 sheets of single-sided originals.

●

An optional reversing single pass feeder (RSPF) allows automatic document feeding of up to 30 two-sided originals.

●

An optional finisher allows automatic stapling of up to 30 sheets.

●

This copier can be used as a laser printer if an optional printer expansion kit is installed.

●

This copier can be used as a facsimile machine if an optional facsimile expansion kit is installed.

●

This copier can be used as a network scanner if an optional network scanner expansion kit is installed.

Power save modes

The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption and thereby reduce the cost of operation and to conserve natural resources to help reduce environmental pollution. The two power save modes are preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode.

★

KEY OPERATOR

The time to enter the preheat and auto power shut-off modes have been preset at the factory to 15 min. for the preheat mode and 60 min. for the auto power shut-off mode. These times can be changed as described in the key operator's guide section. It is suggested that you set appropriate times according to the actual usage of the copier.

Preheat mode

The copier will enter the mode once the set time has elapsed without any copier operation after the last copy of a run is made or power is turned on and no copier operations have been made. When the copier enters the preheat mode, the backlight of the display will be turned off. In this condition, the fuser in the copier is maintained at a lower heat level thereby saving power. The preheat level is, however, high enough to allow the copier to come to a ready condition or begin copying approximately 10 seconds after any key input is made. To copy from the preheat mode, make desired copier selections and press the START ( ) key using the normal copying procedure.

★

KEY OPERATOR See page 132 for information on setting the preheat mode.

Auto power shut-off mode

If the auto power shut-off mode is enabled, the copier will enter the mode once the set time has elapsed without any copier operation after the last copy of a run is made or the power is first turned on and no copier operations have been made. When the copier enters the auto power shut-off mode, the displays and all the indicators except the mode indicators will be turned off. In this condition, the fuser in the copier will be turned off. To turn the power back on, press the COPY key or another mode key that is lit. You can make desired settings and press the START ( ) key after warm-up starts. ★ KEY OPERATOR See page 131 for setting the auto power shut-off timer. See page 136 for enabling

EXPOSURE ADJUSTMENT

This copier has five exposure modes to choose from: AUTO, TEXT, TEXT/PHOTO, PHOTO, and SUPER PHOTO.

Auto

This is the standard initial setting for this copier. In this mode, the characteristics of an original being copied are "read" by the exposure system, and exposure adjustments are made automatically. This optimizes the contrast of the copied images by reducing the effect of coloured or shaded background areas.

AUTO

Text, text/photo, photo, and super photo

Text mode: This mode is useful for enhancing very low density areas of an original or suppressing

unusually high-density background areas. Text/photo mode: This mode provides the best balance for copying an original which contains both text and photos. This mode is also useful for copying printed photographs.

Photo mode: This mode is good for copying photographs with fine details. Super photo mode: This is a high resolution mode (1200 dpi) for providing the best copies of

photographs.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

Copying in the sort or group mode

When copying from the platen glass in the sort or group mode or from the document feeder tray in the group mode, original images will be stored in the copier memory each time an original is scanned and copying will start after all originals have been scanned. However, if originals are set in the document feeder tray and the sort mode is selected, copying will start immediately after the first original is scanned.

Place an original on the platen glass or in the document feeder tray.

Document feeder tray

●

If originals are placed in the document feeder tray, the sort mode will be automatically selected. This setting, however, can be cancelled using a key operator program.

★KEY OPERATOR See page 129 for sort auto select.

Offset stack

If the offset stack mode is enabled using a key operator program, each copy set will be offset by approximately 25 mm (1 inch) from the previous set. When copying in the sort mode, collated sets of copies will be made and each collated set of copies produced will be stacked offset from the previous set in the centre tray. When copying in the group mode, groups of multiple copies from the same

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

original will be made and each group produced will be stacked offset from the previous group in the centre tray. If the offset stack mode is disabled, copies will not be offset. The offset stack mode is enabled in the factory default setting. ★KEY OPERATOR See page 129 for the offset function.

After all originals have been scanned, press the READ-END key.
