Note for loading envelopes

• Envelopes must be fed narrow side into the feed slot one at a time.

• Do not use non-standard envelopes, and envelopes that have metal clasps, plastic snappers, string closures, windows, linings, self-adhesive, patches or synthetic materials. Do not use envelopes that are filled with air or envelopes that have labels or stamps attached.

• Envelopes of which the surface is not flat because of embossing may cause the copies/prints to become smudged.

• Under high humidity and temperature conditions the glue flaps on some envelopes may become sticky and be sealed closed when copied/printed.

• Use only envelopes which are flat and crisply folded. Curled or poorly formed envelopes may be poorly copied/printed or may cause misfeeds.

• It is recommended that you perform a test copy before performing the actual copied/printed job.

• Be sure to select either Com 10, DL, C5 or Monarch on the paper size setting of the printer driver. (For detailed information on printer driver, refer to the online manual.)

MAKING COPIES

This chapter explains basic and other copying functions.

The unit is equipped with a one-page memory buffer. This memory allows the unit to scan an original once only and make up to 99 copies. This feature improves workflow, reduces operation noise from the copier, and provides higher reliability by reducing wear and tear on the scanning mechanism.

If the unit does not function properly during use, or if a function cannot be used, see "TROUBLESHOOTING THE UNIT" (p.29).

COPY FLOW

1 Make sure that paper has been loaded in the paper tray (p.8) or multibypass tray (p.10), and check the paper size (p.7).

If paper is not loaded, see page 8. If you are using the single bypass, check the paper size and then proceed to the next step without loading paper.

3

2 Turn on the unit (p.14).

3 Place the original.

If you are using the original table, see "Using the original table" (p.16).

If you are using the SPF, see "Using the SPF" (p.17).

When copying onto paper larger than A4, pull out the paper output tray extension.

4 Select the copy settings.

If you wish to copy using the initial settings (p.15), proceed to the next step.

To set the number of copies, see page 18.

To adjust the resolution and contrast settings, see page 18.

To enlarge or reduce the copy, see page 20.

AR-153EN model

To change the tray used, see page 20.

5 Start copying.

Press the start ( ) key.

If you are using the single bypass

Do not press the start ( ) key. Insert a sheet of paper into the single bypass.

(Page 11)

Multiple copies are not possible using the single bypass.

13

14

Do not insert paper in the single bypass when a copy job from the paper tray is in progress. This will cause a misfeed.

CONNECTING THE POWER CORD

If you use the unit in a country other than the country where the unit was purchased, you will need to make sure that your local power supply is compatible with your model. If you plug the unit into an incompatible power supply, irreparable damage to the unit will result.

1 Ensure that the power switch of the unit is in the OFF position.

Insert the attached power cord into the power cord socket at the rear of the unit.

2 Plug the other end of the power cord into the nearest outlet.

Only insert the power cord into a properly grounded wall socket.

Do not use extension cords or power strips.

Power on

Ensure that the power switch of the unit is in the OFF position. Plug the other end of the power cord into the nearest outlet.

Turn the power switch on the left side of the unit to the "ON" position. The start

( ) indicator will light up and other indicators which show the initial settings of the operation panel will also light up to indicate the ready condition. For the initial settings, see the "Initial settings of operation panel" described on the next page.

• The unit will enter a power save mode once the set time has elapsed without any unit operation. The settings of the power save modes can be modified. See "USER PROGRAMS" (p.22).

• The unit will return to the initial settings a preset amount of time after the end of copy or scanning job. The preset amount of time (auto clear time) can be changed. See "USER PROGRAMS" (p.22).

About the scan head

The scan head lamp remains on constantly when the unit is in the ready condition

(when the start ( ) indicator is illuminated).

The unit adjusts the scan head lamp periodically to maintain copying quality. At this time, the scan head moves automatically. This is normal and does not indicate unit trouble.

Initial settings of operation panel

When the unit power is on, the operation panel will revert to the initial settings when the time set with the "Auto clear time" setting (p.21) elapses after a copy or scanner job is finished, or when the clear ( ) key is pressed twice.

The initial settings of the operation panel are shown below.

.

• Before feeding originals in the original feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips from them.

• Before placing curled or wavy originals into the original feeder tray, be sure to flatten them. If not, original misfeeds may result.

• The SPF ( ) indicator on the operation panel will light up. If this indicator does not light up, the originals are not properly set or the

SPF is not properly closed.

• Badly damaged originals may misfeed in the SPF. It is recommended that such originals be copied from the original table.

• Special originals such as transparency film should not be fed through the SPF, but should be placed directly on the original table.

• Image loss (max. 4 mm) can occur at the leading and trailing edges of the copies. Also image loss (max. 4.5 mm in total) can occur along the other edges of the copies.

• To stop continuous copying using the SPF, press the clear ( ) key.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

This chapter describes the special functions of this unit. Use these functions as needed.

DESCRIPTION OF SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

Toner save mode (page 21)

Reduces toner consumption by approximately 10%.

Power save modes (page 22)

The unit has two power save modes of operation: preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode.

Preheat mode

When the unit enters the preheat mode, the power save ( ) indicator will light up and other indicators will remain on or off as before. In this condition, the fuser in the unit is maintained at a lower heat level, thereby saving power. To copy from the preheat mode, make desired copier selections and press the start ( ) key using the normal copying procedure.

Auto power shut-off mode

When the unit enters the auto power shut-off mode, the power save ( ) indicator will light up and other indicators will go out. The auto power shut-off mode saves more power than the preheat mode but requires a longer time before starting copying. To copy from the auto power shut-off mode, press the start ( ) key.

Then make desired copier selections and press the start ( ) key using the normal copying procedure.

Auto clear (page 22)

The unit returns to the initial settings a preset amount of time after the end of copy, or scanner job. This preset amount of time (auto clear time) can be changed.
