Digital Multifunctional System

COMPACT DIGITAL PRODUCTION CENTRE

THE CENTRE OF YOUR

DIGITAL PRODUCTION NEEDS

Integrating advanced digital functions in an ultra compact design, brings superb copying (all 3 models), printing & full-colour scanning (AR-153EN/AR-M155) quality to your small office. As your imaging needs grow, the AR-153EN and AR-M155 can be upgraded with convenient and productive options.

Productive Copying with SOPM

With a continuous copy rate of 15 pages per minute and a fast first copy time of 9.6 seconds (in normal mode), the AR-5415/AR-153EN/AR-M155 can quickly finish large tasks as well as short-run jobs. A Scan Once/ Print Many function lets you scan a document directly into the machine’s memory, from where up to 99 copies can be made. No longer do you have to wait for your copying job to finish to retrieve your original document.

Convenient Two-Way Paper Feed System

More paper capacity means less paper refills. The AR-5415/ AR-153EN/AR-M155 offers a convenient two-way paper feed system consisting of a frontloading 250-sheet paper tray and a single bypass feeder (AR-5415) and multi bypass feeder (AR-153EN/AR-M155) both of which can accept a range of paper sizes.

True 600 dpi Digital Laser Copying

The AR-5415/AR-153EN/AR-M155 laser copier engine produces superb-looking documents at true 600 dpi with 256-greyscale gradations. Fine text comes out clear and legible, and details are faithfully reproduced, even at the edges of copies.

Digital Automatic Exposure Control

To produce the best copies possible, Digital Auto Exposure mode automatically adjusts darkness and brightness levels, automatically distinguishing between text and photos, to maintain optimum contrast and to accurately reproduce fine details of the original document. Exposure levels can also be adjusted manually.

Digital Photo Mode

Digital Photo mode ensures quality reproduction of photographs and halftone originals. Exposure levels can be set manually to reproduce special shading contrasts.

Wide Zoom Range

The AR-5415/AR-153EN/AR-M155 digital image processing allows a wide zoom range from 25 to 400 %, adjustable in 1% increments.

A variety of preset copy ratios are also available – all at the touch of a button.

Space-Saving Interior Document Tray

The AR-5415/AR-153EN/AR-M155 maximises features while taking up a small footprint. Its digital imaging system saves space on the inside, which eliminates the need for a protruding paper tray on the outside. Instead, copies are output onto a tray below the platen. Thanks to its flat sides and compact size, the AR-5415/ AR-153EN/AR-M155 can be placed where a conventional copier could never go.

Energy-Efficient Design

To keep energy consumption to a minimum, the AR-5415/ AR-153EN/AR-M155 are equipped with two power saving modes. Auto Power Shut-Off mode minimises energy usage when the unit is not in use, and Pre-Heat mode uses just enough electricity to warm the heat roller.

Toner Save Mode

Toner Save mode conserves toner without sacrificing copy quality. An excellent way to reduce operating costs.

Optional SPF (AR-153EN/AR-M155)
