INTRODUCTION

The AR-280, AR-285 and AR-335 copiers are digital image processing copiers which provide high productivity and convenient features including intelligent image-editing functions.

Amongst their many useful features and functions are the document feeder*, various special functions such as dual page copying, margin shift, erase, XY zoom, and black and white reverse functions, photo copying, and an internal auditor. The digital processing system of the copier allows multiple sets of copies to be sorted without the aid of a sorter. These copiers can be equipped with an optional large capacity tray which holds 3,000 sheets of copy paper. The machines can also be equipped with an optional finisher to provide finished copy sets ready for distribution. These copiers were also designed with ease of use in mind. The easy-to-understand operation panel with touch panel system and INFORMATION function will guide the user through most operations. However, to gain the maximum benefit of all the features of the copier, it is recommended that users first read this manual to become familiar with all the features of the copier.

*The AR-280 is equipped with a single pass feeder (SPF) and the AR-285 and AR-335 are equipped with a reversing automatic document feeder (RADF).

NOTES:

●This manual describes only copier features. For a description of optional printer features, see the separate relevant manual.

●The illustrations in this manual are mainly drawn for the AR-280. Note that the AR-280 does not perform all of the functions of the AR-285 and AR-335.

STARTED GETTING requirements Installation

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

To ensure safety and proper machine performance, please note the following before initial installation and whenever the machine is to be relocated.

1.The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy

connection.

2. Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the specified voltage and current requirements.

Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.

●For this copier’s power supply requirements, see the name plate located on the left hand side at the rear corner of the copier.

3. Do not install the machine where it is:

●damp or humid,

●exposed to direct sunlight,

●extremely dusty,

●	poorly ventilated,
●	subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes (e.g., near an air
	conditioner or heater).

4.Since a hard disk drive is built into this copier, place the copier on a firm,

level surface. Choose an area which is not subject to any vibration.

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

CAUTIONS

1.Do not touch the photoconductive drum. Scratches or smudges on the drum will cause dirty copies.

2.The fusing unit is extremely hot. Exercise care in this area.

3.Since a hard disk drive is built into the copier, be sure to turn the power switch to the “OFF” position when moving the copier. Take care not to subject the copier to any vibration or shock.

Fusing unit

Photoconductive drum

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

5.Four installation adjusters are provided on the optional stand/500-sheet paper drawer.

When moving the machine with the optional stand/ 500-sheet paper drawer, be sure to raise the installation adjusters. After moving the machine, lower the four installation adjusters until they reach the floor and lock the two casters at the front of the copier.

6.When copying is interrupted (for example, because the INTERRUPT function has been used, paper or toner has run out, a misfeed has occurred, etc.), this copier will store the image data of the originals read prior to the interruption. If copying of secret documents is interrupted due to the above reasons, be

sure to either resume the interrupted copying by pressing the START () key, or clear the image data by pressing the CLEAR ALL ( CA ) key after the interrupt copying is completed or the trouble is cleared, because the stored data may be printed by other operators.

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 preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time have been preset at the factory to 15 min. for preheat mode and 60 min. for 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.

Auto power shut-off mode

If the auto power shut-off mode is enabled, the copier will automatically turn off the power once a programmed length of time has elapsed without any copier operation after the last copy of a run is made or the power is first turned on. The power switch will automatically be turned to the “OFF” position.

To turn the power back on, simply turn the power switch to the “ON” position.

KEY OPERATOR See page 8-21 for setting the auto power shut-off timer. See page 8-26 for enabling or disabling the auto power shut-off mode.

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.

When the copier enters the preheat mode, the message “PREHEAT MODE. PLACE ORIGINALS.” will appear.

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 30 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 8-22 for information on setting the preheat mode.

USING THE SPF/RADF

The SPF* (single pass feeder) and the RADF* (reversing automatic document feeder) will handle multiple originals.

*The SPF is installed to the AR-280 and the RADF is installed to the AR-285 and AR-335.

●Before loading originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips from them.

●Damaged or crumpled originals or originals which have been folded may misfeed in the SPF/RADF or cause incorrect size detection. It is recommended that these be copied from the document glass and the copies be used as original documents.

●When feeding originals which have closely spaced binding holes punched along an edge, place the originals so that the punched edge is positioned to the right or along the side guides.

●Special originals such as transparency film and tracing paper should not be fed from the SPF/RADF, but should be placed on the document glass.

Notes on the SPF (AR-280)

●The SPF can handle a maximum of 30 originals of A5 to A4 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 8-1/2" x 11") sizes and 15 originals of B4 to A3 (8-1/2" x 14" to 11" x 17") sizes.

●2-sided to 1-sided copying and 2-sided to 2-sided copying cannot be performed in this model.

●The originals must be set face down in the document feeder tray.

●Do not place different size originals in the document feeder tray. Doing so may cause copying onto different sizes or original misfeeds.

●Duplex copying will not work when a non-standard sized paper (or 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" paper) is used.

●If the orientation of the originals does not match that of the copy paper when both the originals and copy paper are of standard sizes and the auto paper select mode or automatic copy ratio select mode is on, the image of the originals will be automatically rotated to match the copy paper. However, if enlargement copying onto a paper size larger than A4 (8-1/2" x 11") is performed, the image will not be rotated.

●Image loss (max. 5mm (13/64")) can occur along the leading and trailing edges of the copies. Also image loss (max. 5mm (13/64") in total) can occur along the other edges of the copies.

Notes on the RADF (AR-285 and AR-335)

●The RADF can handle a maximum of 50 originals of A5 to A4 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 8-1/2" x 11") sizes and 30 originals of B4 to A3 (8-1/2" x 14" to 11" x 17") sizes.

●2-sided to 1-sided copying and 2-sided to 2-sided copying can be performed in these models.

●The originals must be set face up in the document feeder tray.

●Different size originals with the same width can be placed in the document feeder tray and automatically copied onto copy paper of their respective sizes.

The automatic copy ratio selection will not function in this case.

Use the document glass for copying single originals, bound documents, and other originals that cannot be set in the SPF/RADF.

●Only 1-sided to 1-sided and 1-sided to 2-sided copying can be selected when copying from the document glass.

●Duplex copying will not work when a non-standard sized paper (or 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" paper) is used.

●2-sided to 2-sided or 2-sided to 1-sided copying cannot be selected when copying from the document glass. These operations can, however, be performed simply by turning over the original manually.

●If the orientation of the original does not match that of the copy paper when both the original and copy paper are of standard sizes and the auto paper select mode or automatic copy ratio select mode is on, the image of the original will be automatically rotated to match the copy paper. However, if enlargement copying onto a paper size larger than A4(8-1/2" x 11") is performed, the image will not be rotated.

●Image void (max. 5 mm (13/64")) can occur along the leading and trailing edges of the copies. Also image void (max. 5 mm (13/64") in total) can occur along the other edges of the copies.

		This optimizes the contrast of the copied images by reducing the effect
		of coloured or shaded background areas.

Text, text/photo, and photo

Text mode: This mode is useful in enhancing very low density areas of an original or in 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.
