Making a good impression with professional-looking documents is now easier than ever. Integrating advanced digital functions in an ultra compact design, the AR-122E brings superb copying quality to your small office. And as your imaging needs grow, it can be upgraded with convenient and productive options, including laser printing and full-colour scanning complete with versatile document management software for your PC.

Speedy Copying with SOPM

The AR-122Es Scan Once/Print Many (SOPM) function stores scanned originals into memory to quickly produce up to 99 sets of documents at a continuous copy rate of 12 cpm*. Plus its quick first copy time of just 9.6 seconds saves valuable time when performing multiple short-run jobs.
600 dpi Printing Resolution
The AR-122E uses a high-performance 600 dpi digital laser printing engine to produce ultra clear printouts and copies. This high printing resolution ensures that all details of the original document, including fine text, charts, and even photographs, come out clear and legible.

400DPI

600DPI
*Based on A4 (8 1/2" x 11") or smaller documents using the same size copy mode.

Simulated image

High-Performance Laser Printing (option)
With the AL-12PK Printer and Scanner Board, the AR-122E can print from computers running popular Windows operating systems at a rapid 12 ppm (max.). A number of convenient printing functions are also available.
