The AR-280, AR-285 and AR-335 copiers are digital image processing copiers which provide high productivity and
convenient features including intelligent image-editing functions.
Amongst their many useful features and functions are the document feeder*, various special functions such as dual
page copying, margin shift, erase, XY zoom, and black and white reverse functions, photo copying, and an internal
auditor. The digital processing system of the copier allows multiple sets of copies to be sorted without the aid of a
sorter. These copiers can be equipped with an optional large capacity tray which holds 3,000 sheets of copy paper.
The machines can also be equipped with an optional finisher to provide finished copy sets ready for distribution.
These copiers were also designed with ease of use in mind. The easy-to-understand operation panel with touch
panel system and INFORMATION function will guide the user through most operations. However, to gain the
maximum benefit of all the features of the copier, it is recommended that users first read this manual to become
familiar with all the features of the copier.
* The AR-280 is equipped with a single pass feeder (SPF) and the AR-285 and AR-335 are equipped with a

reversing automatic document feeder (RADF).

This chapter describes the basic information on the
use of this copier.

To ensure safety and proper machine performance, please note the following
before initial installation and whenever the machine is to be relocated.

1.

The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy
connection.

2.

Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the
specified voltage and current requirements.
Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.

●

For this copier’s power supply requirements, see the name plate
located on the left hand side at the rear corner of the copier.

3.

Do not install the machine where it is:

●

damp or humid,

●

exposed to direct sunlight,

●

extremely dusty,

●

poorly ventilated,

●

subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes (e.g., near an air
conditioner or heater).

4.

Since a hard disk drive is built into this copier, place the copier on a firm,
level surface. Choose an area which is not subject to any vibration.

5.

Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing
and proper ventilation.

1.

Do not touch the photoconductive drum. Scratches or
smudges on the drum will cause dirty copies.

2.

The fusing unit is extremely hot.  Exercise care in this area.

3. Since a hard disk drive is built into the copier, be sure to turn the

power switch to the “OFF” position when moving the copier.
Take care not to subject the copier to any vibration or shock.

4.

Do not look directly  at the light source. Doing so may
damage your eyes.

5.

Four installation adjusters are provided on the optional
stand/500-sheet paper drawer.
When moving the machine with the optional stand/
500-sheet paper drawer, be sure to raise the installation
adjusters. After moving the machine, lower the four
installation adjusters until they reach the floor and lock the
two casters at the front of the copier.

6. When copying is interrupted (for example, because the

INTERRUPT function has been used, paper or toner has run out,
a misfeed has occurred, etc.), this copier will store the image
data of the originals read prior to the interruption. If copying of
secret documents is interrupted due to the above reasons, be
sure to either resume the interrupted copying by pressing the
START (

) key, or clear the image data by pressing the CLEAR

ALL (

CA

) key after the interrupt copying is completed or the

trouble is cleared, because the stored data may be printed by
other operators.
