INTRODUCTION
The AR-287, AR-337 and AR-407 copiers are digital image processing copiers
which provide high productivity and convenient features including intelligent
image-editingfunctions.
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. If this copier is connected with another copier of the same model
equipped with the same options through the tandem-connection cable (AR-
CA1), copying can be performed using the two copiers allowing copying to be
twice as fast as copying on one copier when makig multiple copies (tandem
copying). Also, the JOB BUILD mode allows copies to be made of multipage
documentsof upto 120pages (thelimit, however,might beup to60 pagesof 8-1/2"
x14" or11" x 17" paper size whenthe copieris equipped with some option) by
dividing the document into sections small enough (50 pages or less) and
sequentially feeding through the document feeder. The digital processing
system of the copiers 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
whichholds3,000sheetsofcopypaper.Themachinecanalsobeequippedwith
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. In order to gain the
maximumbenefitofallthefeaturesofthecopiers,itisrecommendedthatusers
first read this manual to become familiar with all the features of the copiers.
NOTE:
●The tandem copying function is not available for the AR-287.
●This manual describes only copier features. For a description of optional
printer features and scanner features, see the separate relevant manual.
●The illustrations in this manual are mainly drawn for the AR-407.
USINGTHIS MANUAL
This manual is intended as an operation guide for both general users and key
operators.
For General Users
It is recommended that you read the GETTING STARTED, MAKING COPIES,
and SPECIAL FUNCTIONS sections to become familiar with the available
features and functions of your copier. Then refer to the manual as needed to
become thoroughly familiar with those features you will normally use.
For Key Operators
Please read all sections thoroughly to become familiar with all features and
functions of your copier. Throughout the manual, information which is relevant
to key operator functions is noted by “★KEY OPERATOR.” Please pay close
attentiontothesenotesandtotheSUPPLIES,COPIERTROUBLE?,GENERAL
INFORMATION, and OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT sections so you can ensure
smooth and efficient operation of your machine.
A separate KEY OPERATOR’S GUIDE has been written especially for you. It

CHAPTER1
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Toensuresafetyandpropermachineperformance,pleasenotethefollowing
before initial installation and whenever the machine is to be relocated.
1. Thecopiershould beinstalled near anaccessible power outletfor easy
connection.
2. Besure 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.
3. Do not install the machine where it is:
●damp or humid,
●exposed to direct sunlight,
●extremely dusty,
●poorly ventilated,
●subjecttoextremetemperatureorhumiditychanges(e.g.,nearanair
conditioner or heater).
4. Sinceaharddiskdriveisbuiltintothiscopier,placethecopieronafirm,
level surface. Choose an area which is not subject to any vibration.
5. Besuretoallowtherequiredspacearoundthemachineforservicingand
properventilation.
A small amount of ozone is produced within the copier 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/m3) calculated as an 8 hr. time-weighted average concentration.
However,sincethesmallamountthatisemittedmayhaveanobjectionable
odor, it is advisable to place the copier in a ventilated area.

CAUTIONS
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
powerswitch tothe “OFF” position when movingthe 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-
sheetpaperdrawer,besuretoraisetheinstallationadjusters.
Aftermovingthemachine,lowerthefourinstallationadjusters
untiltheyreachthefloorandlockthetwocastersatthefront
of the copier.
6. When copying is interrupted (for example, because the
INTERRUPTfunction has been used, paper or tonerhas 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
key after the interrupt copying is completed or the trouble is
cleared, because the stored data may be printed by other
operators.

the copier does not produce hazardous laser radiation. For your
safety, observe the precautions below.
●Do not remove the cabinet, operation panel or any other
covers.
●The copier’s exterior covers contain several safety interlock
switches. Do not bypass any safety interlock by inserting
wedges or other items into switch slots.

POWER ON AND OFF
The power switch is located on the left side of the copier. When the
power switch is turned to the “ON” position, the message “WARMING
UP. PLEASE WAIT.” will appear in the message display. Warming

Power save modes
The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power
consumptionandtherebyreducethecostofoperationandtoconserve
natural resources to help reduce environmental pollution. The two
power save modes are preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode.
★KEY OPERATOR

CHAPTER1GETTING STARTED Power on and off
Auto power shut-off mode
If the auto power shut-off mode is enabled, the copier will
automatically turn off the power once a programmed length of time
has elapsed without any copier operation after the last copy of a run
is made or the power is first turned on. The power switch will
automatically be turned to the “OFF” position.
To turn the power back on, simply turn the power switch to the “ON”
position.
★KEY OPERATOR Seepage21oftheKEYOPERATOR’SGUIDEfor
setting the auto power shut-off timer. See page 27 of the KEY
OPERATOR’SGUIDEforenablingordisablingtheautopowershut-off
mode.
Preheat mode
Thecopier willenter the mode once theset timehas elapsed without
any copier operation after the last copy of a run is made or power is
turned on.
When the copier enters the preheat mode, the message “PREHEAT
MODE. PLACE ORIGINALS.” will appear.
In this condition, the fuser in the copier is maintained at a lower heat
level thereby saving power. The preheat level is, however, high
enough to allow the copier to come to a ready condition or begin
copying approximately 30 seconds after any key input is made.
Tocopy from the preheat mode,make desired copier selections and
press the START key using the normal copying procedure.
★KEY OPERATOR See page 22 of the KEY OPERATOR’S GUIDE for
information on setting the preheat mode.
