Introduction
The AR-PB2 Printer Expansion Kit adds high-speed, laser set-printing capability to the powerful
features of the AR-280/AR-285/AR-335 copiers and other copiers of the same series to provide a
convenient, high-productivity document printing system easily controlled from a desktop or
networked computer. Note that throughout this operation manual, we will refer to the AR-280,
AR-285, AR-335 or any other digital copying machine of the same series in which the AR-PB2
Printer Expansion Kit has been installed simply as the ‘printer’.

AR-285, AR-335 or any other digital copying machine of the same series in which the AR-PB2
Printer Expansion Kit has been installed simply as the ‘printer’.
The many useful features and functions of the printer include:
•
print speeds of up to 28 (AR-280/AR-285) or 33 (AR-335) pages per minute (for the same page)
•
printing multiple sets of documents
•
stapling documents (with an optional finisher)
•
automatic booklet printing*
•
automatic 2-sided (duplex) printing*
•
printing multiple document pages on a single sheet (N-up printing)
•
printing cover sheets (different first pages)
* For booklet printing and 2-sided printing, an optional duplex module is required in some models.
This operation manual assumes that the AR-PB2 Printer Expansion Kit has already been installed
in your copier and is ready to use with your computer. This chapter shows you how to check the
printer cable connections linking the printer with your computer. These tasks should be completed
by an authorized dealer service technician before the appropriate AR-PB2 printer drivers are
installed in your computer.
