AUTO CLEAR

1: 10 SEC.
2: 30 SEC.
3: 60 SEC.
4: 90 SEC.
5: 120 SEC.
6: OFF

• Auto clear time automatically returns the copy settings to the initial settings

if no keys are pressed for a preset period of time following the end of a copy
job.

• This program is used to select the period of time. Auto clear time can also

be disabled.

PREHEAT MODE

1: 30 SEC.
2: 1 MIN.
3: 5 MIN.
4: 30 MIN.
5: 60 MIN.
6: 120 MIN.
7: 240 MIN.

• This function automatically switches the machine to a low power

consumption state if the set duration of time elapses without the machine
being used when the power is on. The power save indicator lights up,
however, the keys on the operation panel can be used. Normal operation
automatically resumes when a key on the operation panel is pressed, an
original is placed, a print job is received.

AUTO SHUT-OFF

1: ON
2: OFF

• Use this setting to enable or disable auto power shut-off mode.

AUTO SHUT-OFF 
TIME

1: 5 MIN.
2: 30 MIN.
3: 60 MIN.
4: 120 MIN.
5: 240 MIN.

• This function automatically switches the machine to a state that consumes

even less power than preheat mode if the set duration of time elapses
without the machine being used when the power is on. All lights except the
power save indicator go off. To resume normal operation, press the
[START] key (

). Normal operation also resumes automatically when a

print job is received or scanning is begun from a computer. While in auto
power shut-off mode, no keys (except the [START] key (

)) can be used.

7

LAYOUT IN 2IN1

1: PATTERN 1
2: PATTERN 2

• Use this setting to select the layout pattern when two original pages are

copied onto a single sheet of paper.

8

OFFSET 
FUNCTION

1: ON
2: OFF

• When enabled, this function offsets the position of each set of copies in the

output tray in copy mode, and each print job in printer mode.

9

ROTATE ORIG. 
IMAGE 
(AR-208D only)

1: ON
2: OFF

• When two-sided copying is performed, this function rotates the image on

the back of the original. This is convenient when binding the copies at the
top (tablet binding).

10

AE/TEXT 
RESOLUTION

1: 300dpi
2: 600dpi

• This setting is used to change the copy resolution in AUTO and TEXT

mode from 600 x 300 dpi to 600 x 600 dpi (high-quality mode). Scanning is
slower when high-quality mode is used.

11

2-SIDED COPY 
MODE 
(AR-208D only)

1: HI-SPEED
2: NORMAL

• If the memory fills up when two-sided copying is performed, "NORMAL"

can be selected to make copying possible. However, "NORMAL" results in
a slower copying speed. Normally "HI-SPEED" is selected to enable fast
two-sided copying.

12

MARGIN WIDTH

1: 1/4"
2: 1/2"
3: 3/4"
4: 1"

• Use this setting to set the margin width.

13

MEM. FOR 
PRINTER

1: 30%
2: 40%
3: 50%
4: 60%
5: 70%

• Use this to change the proportion of machine memory used for printer

mode.

14

AUTO KEY REPEAT

1: ON
2: OFF

• Use this setting to select whether or not holding down a key causes

repeated input of the key. For keys that normally cause a set value to
decrease or increase when held down (for example, the [

] key (

) or

[

] key (

)), this program can be used to have the set value not

change when the key is held down.

15

KEY PRESS TIME

1: NORMAL
2: 0.5 SEC.
3: 1.0 SEC.
4: 1.5 SEC.
5: 2.0 SEC.

• Use this setting to select how long a key must be pressed for the input to be

accepted. By selecting a longer time, you can prevent settings from being
changed by the accidental pressing of a key.

16

KEY TOUCH

1: LOW
2: HIGH
3: OFF

• This sets the volume of beep signals.

mode is effective when the exposure mode is AUTO or TEXT.
