COPYING AND PRINTING
Productive Copying and High-Performance Network Printing
Producing high-volume jobs with amazing speed, simplicity, and superb image quality, the AR-M351U/N's high-speed RISC processor, productivity-
enhancing options, and advanced printing functions make even complex jobs with sophisticated finishing options efficient and easy.
Quick First Copy Time
The AR-M351U/N has a quick first copy time of 4.9
seconds to save valuable time when performing
multiple short-run jobs.
Super-Efficient Output
With a continuous output of 35 cpm/ppm*, the
AR-M351U/N allows you to produce large-volume
documents in less time.

High-Speed Processor
The AR-M351U/N comes with a high-speed RM7065
64-bit RISC processor (300 MHz), which allows even
memory-intensive graphic documents to be processed
promptly and ensures speedy and efficient printing in the
networked office.
A3 Duplex Single Pass Feeder (DSPF)
The AR-M351U/N can be
equipped with an optional DSPF,
which scans both pages of
two-sided documents up to A3
(11" x 17") in size in one pass.
Doing away with the reversing
circuit minimises paper misfeeds and vastly improves reliability.
With a quick scanning speed of 60 pages per minute for two-sided
originals and 37 pages for single-sided in Standard mode, the
AR-M351U/N finishes even large projects quickly.
Duplex Copying/Printing
The AR-M351U/N can make

effectively reducing paper costs
as well as saving filing space. Duplex copying is even more
productive when used together with the DSPF.
Superb Image Quality
You get ultra-detailed reproduction with 600 dpi resolution. The
printing resolution can be enhanced to 1,200 dpi (with
smoothing). Digital Auto Exposure Control provides optimum copy
contrast, and Text/Photo mode automatically adjusts the copy
contrast for documents containing both text and photos.
Note: Network print function is standard on the AR-M351N, but the AR-M351U requires the optional AR-NC7 or AR-NC8 Print Server Card.
