Electronic Sorting and Offset Stacking
The AR-M201s Scan Once/Print Many (SOPM) function does one scan of multiple-page Electronic Sorting and documents and stores them Offset Stacking in memory for making up to Multi-page 99 copies of each page. The Document is original scanned. Electronic Sorting function then automatically collates multiple sets of copies in page order without the aid stored in of a sorter. The AR-M201 memory. also stacks each set slightly electronically sorted. shifted apart from the previous (offset stacking).. for easy retrieval. All this Copies adds up to speedy copying and stacked offset during output. that boosts productivity even for large-volume documents.
copying is even more productive when used together with the optional RSPF (reversing single pass feeder), which efficiently feeds in up to 50 pages of either one- or two-sided originals.

Paper Capacity
The AR-M201 comes standard with a 250-sheet paper tray and a 50-sheet multi-bypass feeder. An optional paper feed unit is available for a total paper capacity of 550 sheets.

Superb Image Quality

600-dpi resolution and 256-level greyscale ensure finely detailed reproduction, while Digital Auto Exposure Control provides optimum copy contrast. For the best results, users can select Text mode for text-only originals or Photo mode that gives detailed, high-quality reproduction of photos and delicate halftone images.

Other Key Features

Wide zoom range from 25% to 400% with 7 preset ratios Margin shift, 2-in-1 copy Cost-efficient Toner Save mode Pre-Heat and Auto Power Shut-Off modes

FAXING (option)

High-Speed Operation
The AR-FX13 Fax Expansion Kit turns the AR-M201 into a 33.6 Kbps Super G3 fax. Using JBIG compression technology, the AR-M201 can send an A4 (8 1/2" x 11") size page in under 3 seconds. Use the optional RSPF to further boost faxing efficiency. And because Quick On-Line Transmission can start dialling and transmitting as soon as the first page is scanned into memory, you can send documents in much less time.

Duplex Transmission and Reception
With the optional RSPF, the AR-M201 scans both pages of twosided documents and sorts them in memory. The pages are then transmitted in the proper order. Thanks to the built-in duplex module, the AR-M201 can also print incoming faxes onto both sides of paper, thus saving you paper costs.
Memory transmission/reception Rapid and group dials (18 in total), 100 speed dials Long originals up to 500 mm can be sent using RSPF
(Note: Duplex transmission not possible)
