Introduction
The copier has two different finisher modes: one sorts copies into sets
matching the sequence of the originals and the second groups copies by
original. When an optional finisher (AR-FN2) is installed, the copier can
automatically staple the sorted copies. Each collated set of copies or
group of copies can be stacked offset from the previous set.
NOTE:
The AR-FN2 finisher is optional equipment for the AR-280/AR-285/
AR-335 Copiers. This manual describes only the features of the
AR-FN2 finisher. For general information on the copier features, see the
Operation Manual of the copiers.
AB series (metric) and inch series references
