4Gently push the paper tray back into the unit.
After loading paper, to cancel the blinking   without restarting 
copying, press the clear ( ) key. The   in the display will go out 
and the start ( ) indicator will light up.
Be sure that paper is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent 
edges.
Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.
When loading paper, ensure there is no space between the paper and 
the guide, and check if the guide is not set too narrow causing the 
paper to bend. Loading paper in these ways will result in document 
skew or a paper jam.
When not using the unit for an extended period, remove all paper from   
the paper tray and store it in a dry place.  If paper is left in the unit for 
an extended period, the paper will absorb moisture from the air, 
resulting in paper jams.
When adding new paper to the paper tray, remove the old paper 
already contained in the tray. Placing new paper on top of the paper 
already contained in the tray may result in feeding two sheets at one 
time.

BYPASS FEED (including special paper)
The multi-bypass tray can be used to feed standard paper, transparency film, labels, 
envelopes and other special purpose paper. Paper measuring from 3-1/2 x 5-1/2 to 
8-1/2 x 14 and in the weight range of 14 lbs. to 34.5 lbs. can be used in this tray. 
(For paper weighing from 28 lbs. to 34.5 lbs., 8-1/2 x 11 is the maximum size.)
1Open the multi-bypass tray and extend the tray.
2Set the paper guides to the paper width. Insert the paper (print 
face down) all the way into the multi-bypass tray.
The multi-bypass tray can hold maximum of 50 sheets of paper. 
(Capacity will vary depending on the type of paper loaded.) 
The original image must be smaller than the paper or media for 
copying. If the original image is bigger than the paper or media, this 
may cause smudges on the edges of the copies.
To close the multi-
bypass tray, 
perform step 1 
and then step 2 in 
the illustration and 
push the round 
projections at the 
right of the tray 
until they click.

3Press the tray select ( ) key to select the multi-bypass tray.
Paper must be fed narrow side into the feed slot.
Special papers such as transparency film and labels must be 
fed one sheet at a time through the multi-bypass tray.
When copying onto transparency film, remove each copy 
promptly. Do not let copies stack up.
Note for loading envelopes
Envelopes must be fed narrow side into the feed slot one at a time.
Do not use non-standard envelopes, and envelopes that have metal clasps, plastic 
snappers, string closures, windows, linings, self-adhesive, patches or synthetic 
materials. Do not use envelopes that are filled with air or envelopes that have labels 
or stamps attached.
Envelopes of which the surface is not flat because of embossing may cause the 
copies/prints to become smudged.
Under high humidity and temperature conditions the glue flaps on some envelopes 
may become sticky and be sealed closed when copied/printed.
Use only envelopes which are flat and crisply folded. Curled or poorly formed 
envelopes may be poorly copied/printed or may cause misfeeds.
It is recommended that you perform a test copy before performing the actual copied/
printed job.
Be sure to select either Com 10, DL, C5 or Monarch on the paper size setting of the 
printer driver. (For detailed information on printer driver, refer to the online manual.)

This chapter explains basic and other copying functions. 
The unit is equipped with a one-page memory buffer. This memory allows the unit to 
scan an original once only and make up to 99 copies. This feature improves 
workflow, reduces operation noise from the copier, and provides higher reliability by 
reducing wear and tear on the scanning mechanism.
COPY FLOW
If the unit does not function properly during use, or if a function cannot 
be used, see TROUBLESHOOTING THE UNIT (p.30).

POWER ON
Turn the power switch on the left side of the unit to the ON position. The start ( ) 
indicator will light up.
About the scan head
The scan head lamp remains on constantly when the unit is in the ready condition 
(when the start ( ) indicator is illuminated).
The unit adjusts the scan head lamp periodically to maintain copying quality. At this 
time, the scan head moves automatically. This is normal and does not indicate unit 
trouble.
Initial settings of operation panel
When the unit power is on, the operation panel will revert to the initial settings when 
the time set with the Auto clear time setting (p.22) elapses after a copy or scanner 
job is finished, or when the clear ( ) key is pressed twice.
The initial settings of the operation panel are shown below.
When copying is begun in this state, the settings in the following table are used.
The unit will enter a power save mode once the set time has elapsed 
without any unit operation. The settings of the power save modes can 
be modified. See USER PROGRAMS (p.23).
The unit will return to the initial settings a preset amount of time after 
the end of copy or scanner job. The preset amount of time (auto clear 
time) can be changed. See USER PROGRAMS (p.23).

If not used for a certain period of time, the unit will automatically enter auto power 
shut-off mode (p.22) in order to minimize power consumption. In cases where the 
machine will not be used for a long time, turn off the power switch and remove the 
power cord from the outlet.
ORIGINAL PLACEMENT 
Using the original table
1Open the original cover/RSPF/SPF, and place the original.
2Place an original face down on the original table. Align it with 
the original scale and the centering ( ) mark. Gently close the 
original cover/RSPF/SPF.
Setting a large original (AR-153E)
The original cover can be removed to allow copying of bulky objects.
1Simply lift the original cover straight 
up.
2To reattach the original cover, reverse the above procedure.
The original table can read up to 8-1/2 x 14 original.
Image loss 5/32 can occur at the leading and trailing edges of the 
copies. Also image loss 11/64 in total can occur along the other 
edges of the copies.
When copying a book or an original which has been folded or a 
crumpled original, press down the original cover lightly. If the original 
cover is not securely closed, the copies may be striped or blurred.

Using the RSPF/SPF
The RSPF/SPF is designed to hold up to 30 originals measuring from 5-1/2 x 8-1/2
to 8-1/2 x 14 and weighting from 14 lbs. to 23.9 lbs.
1Make sure that no original is left on the original table.
2Adjust the original guides to the size 
of originals.
3Set the originals face up in the 
original feeder tray.
Stream feeding mode
The stream feeding mode allows easy operation of continuous copying from the 
RSPF/SPF. If the stream feeding mode has been enabled using user program No.4, 
the RSPF/SPF ( ) indicator will blink approximately 5 seconds after the last 
original has been fed by the RSPF/SPF. While this indicator is blinking, any new 
originals placed in the original feeder tray will be fed and copied automatically. If the 
stream feeding mode has been disabled, the start ( ) key must be pressed each 
time the originals are set even immediately after completion of a copy run from the 
RSPF/SPF. The default setting of the stream feeding mode is ON. See USER 
PROGRAMS (p.23).
•Before feeding originals in the original feeder tray, be sure to remove 
any staples or paper clips from them.
Before placing curled or wavy originals into the original feeder tray, be 
sure to flatten them. If not, original misfeeds may result.
The RSPF/SPF ( ) indicator on the operation panel will light up. If 
this indicator does not light up, the originals are not properly set or the 
RSPF/SPF is not properly closed.
Badly damaged originals may misfeed in the RSPF/SPF. It is 
recommended that such originals be copied from the original table.
Special originals such as transparency film should not be fed through 
the RSPF/SPF, but should be placed directly on the original table.
Image loss (max. 5/32) can occur at the leading and trailing edges of 
the copies. Also image loss (max. 11/64 in total) can occur along the 
other edges of the copies. It can be 15/64 (max.) at the trailing edge 
of the second copy of two-sided copying.
To stop continuous copying using the RSPF/SPF, press the clear 
()
 key.
Copying using one-sided to one-sided mode (AR-157E):
Ensure that no indicator is lit among the original to copy indicators.
