This unit is a fax expansion kit which provides facsimile functions by
attaching to the digital machine AR-235/275 series.
To expand facsimile functions, use of SPF/RSPF is recommendable.
By attaching a job separator/finisher, copy output and fax output can
be separately discharged to different trays.

The fax board of the fax expansion kit is provided with 2MB flash memory (standard). An expansion memory of one of 2MB/4MB/8MB can be
added. (2MB expansion memory for fax, AR-MM5; 4MB expansion
