Features of the AR-651/810 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 The AR-651/810 is a digital copier which is high-speed, compact and high-durability. The AR-651/810 can read the image in the memory temporarily after scanning, so you can operate sorting/grouping, etc. as well as processing/editing quietly, quickly and easily. And the combination of various finishing function such as thick paper and tab paper, etc. makes finishing easier as you request. The AR-651/810 also has the following convenient features, functions and options. The copying speed is 65 copies (LT) per minute for the AR-651 and 81 copies (LT) per minute for the AR-810. You can scan the originals that you request to copy during printing. The warm-up time has been drastically shortened to approximately 160 seconds (about half of that of the Sharp copier AR-650). A wide variety of media from thick paper ( up to 110lb. Index) to tab paper, OHP-films, hole punched paper, etc. are acceptable. 'Finishing mode' and '2-sided copy', which are frequently used, put together to one display (Quick tab on the touch panel) to access easily. 'Automatic density mode' reads the density of originals automatically and sets the proper copy density. 'Automatic paper selection' reads the size of originals automatically and sets the paper size, and 'Auto matic zoom selection' calculates the copy magnification. Comes with rich editing functions specific to digital such as '2in1/ 4in1', `Annotation' and `Page Numberring', etc. Using the reversing automatic document feeder allows you to copy at once with 'Mixed-sized original mode' though the original sizes are different. Loading the page memory and hard disc as standard equipment enables 2 in 1/4 in 1, 'Electronic sort' and 'Magazine sort' etc. When using the external LCF (optional), you can make maximum of 7500 copies continuously. (External LCF:4000 sheets, drawer: 500 sheets x 2, Tandem LCF: 2500 sheets) Installing an optional finisher, an optional hole punch and an optional inserter offer quick sorting such as 'Staple', 'Magazine sort' 'Hole punch' and 'Paper insert' of copies automatically. The optional printer controller also allows you to scan from the touch panel. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface ................................................................................................................................................ 1 Features of the AR-651/810 ................................................................................................................ 2 Table of contents ................................................................................................................................. 3 Disclaimer notice ................................................................................................................................. 6 Precautions ......................................................................................................................................... 7 1.
