DUAL PAGE COPYING
A dual page original can be automatically separated into two pages during copying. This feature is convenient for 
making copies of books and other dual page originals on individual sheets of paper.
1Place the original on the document 
glass, aligning the division between 
the pages with the size marker 
(8

cover/SPF/RSPF.
Copying will begin from 
the page to the right of 
the size marker.
2Press the [DUAL PAGE COPY] key

copy settings, and press the [START] 
key ( ).
The copy will be delivered to the paper output 
tray.

 Dual page copying can be enabled when two-sided copying is enabled.
 Dual page copying can be enabled when Sort/Group copy (p.32).
 When used in combination with XY ZOOM copying, enlargement is not possible.
 Dual page copying cannot be used in combination with the following functions:
 Enlargement
 2 IN 1/4 IN 1 copying (when the dual function board is installed)
 Center erase (when the dual function board is installed)
 Automatic ratio selection cannot be used when dual page copying is used.
 Dual page copying cannot be selected when an original is placed in the SPF/RSPF.Note
To keep the copies in the correct page order 
when performing dual page copying over 
multiple pages, make sure that the original is

the original(s).
The INTERRUPT indicator will go off, indicating 
that the interrupt function is no longer operating. 
The copy settings will automatically revert to the 
settings selected for the copy run before the run 
was interrupted.
5Replace the previous original(s) and 
press the [START] key ( ).
The interrupted copy run will resume.
Interrupt copying is not possible when the user programs are being configured, or when automatic two-sided 
copying, sort/group copying, or 2 IN 1 / 4 IN 1 copying is being performed.Note
 If the SPF/RSPF is being used, the copy 
run will not stop until the set number of 
copies is completed.
If Auditing mode is enabled:
- - - will appear in the number of copies 
display. Enter your 3-digit account number.

CONVENIENT COPY FUNCTIONS
This chapter explains convenient copy functions that can be used when the dual function board (AR-EB7) is installed.
ROTATING THE IMAGE 90 DEGREES
(Rotation copy)
When Auto paper select mode or automatic ratio selection are in operation and the original is placed in a different 
orientation (vertical or horizontal) than the paper, the original image will be automatically rotated 90 degrees to 
enable correct copying onto the paper.
This function is convenient for copying 8-1/2 x 14 or 11 x 17 originals, which can only be placed horizontally, onto 
paper that is loaded vertically.
The rotation copy function is initially enabled. It can be disabled in the user programs. (p.45)
SORT COPY / GROUP COPY
●Copies of multiple original pages can sorted into sets. (Sort copy)
●Copies of multiple original pages can be grouped by page. (Group copy)
 Rotation copy will not operate when a copy is enlarged to a paper size greater than 8-1/2 x 11. In this case, 
place the original in the same orientation as the paper.
 When 2 IN 1 / 4 IN 1 copy is used (p.34), rotation copy will operate even if disabled in the user programs.Note
Orientation of 
the placed originalOrientation of 
the loaded paperCopy
The dual function board can scan approximately 100 standard originals (8-1/2 x 11), however, the number will 
vary for photos and other types of originals.Note

paper, and the selected number of originals. When using the document glass, reduction is possible to 25%. 
When using the SPF/RSPF, reduction is possible to 50%. Certain combinations of original size, paper size, and 
number of images may result in images being cut off.
 Even if Rotation copy is disabled in the user programs, the original images may be rotated if necessary 
depending on their orientation and the orientation of the paper.

CREATING MARGINS WHEN COPYING
(Margin shift)
The MARGIN SHIFT feature, in its initial setting, automatically shifts the text or image to increase the margin by 
approximately 1/2.
The location of the margin to be increased can be select to be either at the left edge or the top of the page (AR-M205 
only).
1Place the original(s). 
If you are using the 
document glass, place 
the side of the original 
where you wish to create 
the margin on the right.
If you are using the 
SPF/RSPF, place the 
side of the original where 
you wish to create the 
margin on the left.
2If the original is placed on the document 
glass, select the original size. (p.18)
When using the SPF/RSPF, make sure that the 
same ORIGINAL SIZE indicator as your original 
size lights up.

PRINTER/SCANNER FUNCTIONS
The machine includes a USB 1.1 port and a parallel port as standard equipment.
A computer can be connected to these ports to use the machine as a printer or a scanner. 
When the dual function board is used, the following functions can be used in addition to the standard printer/scanner 
functions.
• High-speed data transfer (when connected to a USB 2.0 port)
 ROPM* function
 Automatic rotation printing
To use the machine as a printer or scanner, the printer driver or scanner driver must first be installed as explained in 
the Software Setup Guide.
* ROPM is an acronym for Rip Once Print Many processing. The ROPM function stores multiple pages of print data in memory 
before printing. When printing multiple copies, this eliminates the need for the computer to repeatedly transmit the print data.
System requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode)
The following system is required to use USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode):
 Your computer must be running Windows XP / Windows 2000 and the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver must be 
pre-installed, or the USB 2.0 driver for Windows XP / Windows 2000 must be installed using Microsofts 
Windows Update service.
 The USB 2.0 mode switching setting in the machines user programs must be set to Hi-Speed. To change 
the setting, see USB 2.0 mode switching in the user programs. (p.46).
* Even when the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver is installed, some USB 2.0 expansion cards are not capable of 
attaining the speed stipulated by the Hi-Speed standard. This problem can often be fixed by installing a more 
recent driver for the card. To obtain the most recent driver for your card, contact the cards manufacturer. 
 If a problem occurs in printer or scanner mode, see TROUBLESHOOTING. (p.52)
 Two printer drivers are provided for the machine: a standard printer driver and a printer driver that is used when 
the dual function board is installed. Install the correct printer driver depending on whether or not the dual 
function board is installed. If the correct printer driver is not installed, printing may not take place correctly. (See 
the Software Setup Guide for information on installing the printer drivers.) 
 When using USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode), be sure to read System requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode) 
(p.38) to verify that your system and the machine settings are configured appropriately.
 Do not install the printer driver for the dual function board when the dual function board is not installed. If this is 
done, a warning message will print and printing will be canceled.
 The scanning feature is only available with Windows 98/Me/2000/XP using a USB connection. For users 
running Windows 95/NT 4.0 or using a parallel connection, only printing is available.
 When interrrupt copying is being performed, printing or scanning is not possible.Note
