PURPOSE OF THE KEY OPERATOR
PROGRAMS

The key operator programs are used by the key operator (administrator of the machine) to customize certain
features of the machine to better meet the needs of users.
This guide explains key operator programs that are common to all functions of the multifunction system (copy
function, fax function, printer function, and network scanner function), as well as programs that are specific to the
copy function, printer function, and network scanner function. Programs that are specific to the fax function are
explained in the following manual:

• Fax function ............."AR-FX7 Operation manual" (Chapter 8)

In order to access the key operator programs, the key operator code must be entered.

PROGRAMMING A KEY OPERATOR CODE

The key operator code is a 5-digit number that must be entered in order to access the key operator programs. The
key operator (administrator of the machine) should change the default key operator code that was set at the factory
to a new 5-digit number. Be sure to remember the new key operator code, as it must be entered each time the key
operator programs are subsequently used. (Only one key operator code can be programmed.)
To change the key operator code, see "USING THE KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS" on the following page.

The key operator code is initially set to "00000" at the factory.

USING THE KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS

1

Press the [CUSTOM SETTINGS] key.

2

Touch the [KEY OPERATOR
PROGRAMS] key.

3

Use the numeric keys to enter the
five-digit key operater code.

Each time a digit is
entered, the dash (-) that
indicates the digit will
change to an asterisk ( ).
The factory default setting
for the key operator code
is 00000.

4

Touch a key to select the desired
category of key operator programs.

Example:

To change the key operator code, touch the [KEY
OPERATOR CODE CHANGE] key.

• Each time you need to configure a program, use this
procedure to select the program.

• In the following steps, the setting screen for the
selected program appears. Refer to the explanation
of the program to select the desired setting (the
explanations of the programs begin on page 8).

5

Use the numeric keys to enter the new
5-digit key operator code.

Use a number for the key
operator code that has not
been programmed as an
account number for
auditing mode (a number
that has been
programmed as an

account number cannot
be used). The entered number will be the new key
operator code. Be sure to remember this number.

6

Touch the [OK] key. You will return to
the screen of step 4.

This completes the

procedure for changing

the key operator code. If

you wish to configure

another program, touch

the key of the desired

program in the screen of

step 4.

7

Press the [CLEAR ALL] key ( ) to
exit the program.

When using the key operator programs for the first time, change the factory default key operator code to a new
code. (Step 3 to step 5)
