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.

MAIN FEATURES
High-speed laser copying
1
●
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
2
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
3
●
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.
●

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
or disabling the auto power shut-off.
