The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection and 
disconnection.
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.
Be sure to allow the required space around the 
machine for servicing and proper ventilation.
CAUTIONS ON HANDLING THE MACHINE
Observe the following precautions when handling the machine to maintain top performance. 
Do not drop the machine, subject it to shock or strike it against any object.
Store spare toner cartridges in a cool dry place without removing from the package before use.
• If they are exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat, poor copies may result.
Do not touch the photoconductive drum (green portion).
• Scratches or smudges on the drum will cause dirty copies.

A small amount of ozone is produced within the machine during operation.
The emission level is insufficient to cause any health hazard.
Note:
The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m
3
) calculated as an 8 hr. time-
weighted average concentration.
However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable odor, it is advisable to place the 
machine in a ventilated area.

INDICATIONS
An "R" appearing at the end of an original or paper size A4R (8-1/2" x 11"R), etc. indicates that the original or paper is 
oriented horizontally as shown below.
Sizes that can be placed only in the horizontal (landscape) orientation (B4, A3 (8-1/2" x 14", 11" x 17")), do not 
contain the "R" in their size indication.
CONVENTIONS USED IN THIS MANUAL
Explanation of words and illustration
• This operation manual refers to the Reversing Single

kit (AR-TR3) installed.
The appearance of your machine may be different 
depending on the model and options installed, 
however, the basic operations are the same.

MAIN FEATURES
High-speed laser copying
• First-copy time*
1
 at 600 dpi*

 is only 4.8 seconds.
• Copying speed is 23 copies/min. (AR-M236) or 27 copies/min. (AR-M276) at 600 dpi (not in the super photo 
mode). This is ideal for business use and provides a big boost to workplace productivity.

"dpi" ("dots per inch") is unit that is used to measure resolution. Resolution indicates how much detail can be reproduced in 
a printed or scanned image.
High-quality digital image
• High-quality copying at 600 dpi or 1200 dpi (super photo mode) is performed.
• In addition to automatic exposure adjustment, four original type modes are available: "TEXT mode" for text-only 
originals, "TEXT/PHOTO mode" for mixed text and photo originals, "PHOTO mode" for photos, and "SUPER 
PHOTO mode" for high-quality reproduction of photos. The exposure can be manually adjusted to 5 levels in each 
mode.
Enhanced copying features
• Zoom copies can be made from 25% to 400% in increments of 1%.
• Continuous copying of up to 999 copies is possible.

• Useful special features such as erase, margin shift, 2 in 1 and 4 in 1, pamphlet copy, dual page copy and cover 
copy are available.
• Key operator programs allow the setting or modification of functions to meet your specific needs. The key operator 
programs can also be used to enable audit mode, which allows the machine administrator to control use of the 
machine.
Black and white LCD touch panel makes it easy to operate the machine
• Employing a backlit black and white LCD display, the touch panel provides step-by-step guidance for each

problems that occur.
Optional features
• An optional finisher allows automatic stapling of up to 30 sheets.
• This machine can be used as a network printer if the optional printer expansion kit is installed.
