POWER SAVE MODES
The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption thereby reduce the cost of operation. In addition, these modes conserve natural resources and help reduce environmental pollution. The two power save modes are preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode.
User programs The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time have been preset at the factory to 90 sec. for preheat mode and 30 min. for auto power shut-off mode. These times can be changed using user programs. It is suggested that you set appropriate times according to the actual usage of the copier. See page 35.
Preheat mode
When the copier enters the preheat mode, the POWER SAVE ( will light up and other indicators will remain on or off as before. 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 within 10 seconds after any key input or copier operation such as paper tray operation is performed.

The performance specification figures indicated are nominal values of production units. There may be some deviations from these values in individual units.
Using the SPF
SINGLE PASS FEEDER (AR-SP2)
Be sure to remove any staples or paper clips from the originals.
Damaged or crumpled originals may misfeed in the SPF. It is recommended that these originals be copied from the original table.
Before placing curled or wavy originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to flatten them. If not, original misfeeds may result.
For best feeding of originals which have binding holes punched into them, insert them so that the holes are positioned to the right or along the side guides.
Special originals such as transparency film and tracing paper should not be fed through the SPF but should be copied from the original table.
Stream feeding mode
If the stream feeding mode has been enabled using user program No. 4, the SPF indicator will continue to blink for approximately 5 seconds after feeding of all originals is completed. While this indicator is blinking, any new originals placed in the SPF will be fed and copied automatically. See page 35, USER PROGRAMS.
Ensure that no original is left on the original table.
1
Adjust the original guides to the size of the originals.
2
Set the originals face up in the document feeder tray.
3
The SPF indicator will light up. If this indicator does not light up, the originals are not properly set or the SPF is not properly closed.
Ensure that the copy paper size in the paper tray is the same size as the originals.
4
Set the number of copies (AR-5020 only) and press the START ( ) key.
5
With AR-5015 N, only one copy per original can be made. The number of copies cannot be changed.
The AR-5020 copier is equipped with a 1-page memory buffer. The number of copies can be specified.
While making copies from the SPF, do not place originals of the next copying job. Place them after all copies of the current job have been output.
