INTRODUCTION
The AR-281, AR-286 and AR-336 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-281 is equipped with a single pass feeder (SPF) and the AR-286 and AR-336 are equipped with a reversing
automatic document feeder (RADF).
