Why the AR-M355U/M455U ...
Targeted for busy mid-volume environments, the
AR-M335U/M445U Digital Multifunctional IMAGERs
offer powerful Multitasking, Advanced Application
Integration and Leading Edge Security. The base
model is comprised of a newly engineered 300 MHz
Multi-tasking
Controller
and
offer
technology used in the AR-M550U/M620U/M700U.
The
advanced
features
include
