AR-5415/AR-153EN/AR-M155
Digital Multifunctional System
COMPACT DIGITAL PRODUCTION CENTRE

THE CENTRE OF YOUR
DIGITAL PRODUCTION NEEDS
Integrating advanced digital functions in an ultra compact design, brings superb copying (all 3 models), printing & full-colour scanning
(AR-153EN/AR-M155) quality to your small office. As your imaging needs grow, the AR-153EN and AR-M155 can be upgraded with convenient
and productive options.
Productive Copying with SOPM
With a continuous copy rate of 15 pages per minute
and a fast first copy time of 9.6 seconds (in normal
mode), the AR-5415/AR-153EN/AR-M155 can quickly
finish large tasks as well as short-run jobs. A Scan
Once/ Print Many function lets you scan a document
directly into the machine’s memory, from where up to
99 copies can be made. No longer do you have to wait
for your copying job to finish to retrieve your original
document.
Convenient Two-Way Paper Feed System
More paper capacity means less paper refills.The AR-5415/
AR-153EN/AR-M155 offers a convenient two-way paper
feed system consisting of a frontloading 250-sheet
paper tray and a single bypass feeder (AR-5415) and
multi bypass feeder (AR-153EN/AR-M155) both of
which can accept a range of paper sizes.
True 600 dpi Digital Laser Copying
The AR-5415/AR-153EN/AR-M155 laser copier engine
produces superb-looking documents at true 600 dpi
with 256-greyscale gradations. Fine text comes out
clear and legible, and details are faithfully reproduced,
even at the edges of copies.
Digital Automatic Exposure Control
To produce the best copies possible, Digital Auto
Exposure mode automatically adjusts darkness and
brightness levels, automatically distinguishing between
text and photos, to maintain optimum contrast and to
accurately reproduce fine details of the original
document. Exposure levels can also be adjusted
manually.
Digital Photo Mode
Digital Photo mode ensures quality reproduction of
photographs and halftone originals. Exposure levels
can be set manually to reproduce special shading
contrasts.
Wide Zoom Range
The AR-5415/AR-153EN/AR-M155 digital image processing
allows a wide zoom range from 25 to 400 %,
adjustable in 1% increments.
A variety of preset copy ratios are also available – all at
the touch of a button.
Space-Saving Interior Document Tray
The AR-5415/AR-153EN/AR-M155 maximises features
while taking up a small footprint. Its digital imaging
system saves space on the inside, which eliminates the
need for a protruding paper tray on the outside.
Instead, copies are output onto a tray below the platen.
Thanks to its flat sides and compact size, the AR-5415/
AR-153EN/AR-M155 can be placed where a
conventional copier could never go.
Energy-Efficient Design
To keep energy consumption to a minimum, the AR-5415/
AR-153EN/AR-M155 are equipped with two power
saving modes. Auto Power Shut-Off mode minimises
energy usage when the unit is not in use, and Pre-Heat
mode uses just enough electricity to warm the heat
roller.
Toner Save Mode
Toner Save mode conserves toner without sacrificing
copy quality. An excellent way to reduce operating costs.
Speedy Copying with SOPM and
Optional SPF (AR-153EN/AR-M155)
The optional Single Pass Feeder (SPF) can automatically
feed in and make copies from a stack of up to 30 singlesided
originals, eliminating the task of placing each page
by hand.
High-Performance Laser Printing
(AR-153EN /AR-M155)
With the Standard Printer and Scanner Board, the
AR-153EN/ AR-M155 can print from computers running
popular Windows® operating systems at a rapid
12 ppm (AR-153EN) and 15ppm (AR-M155). A number
of convenient printing functions are also available.
e.g. N-Up, Fit to Page or Watermark.
Full-Colour Scanning with Bundled
Software (AR-153EN/AR-M155)
The local Colour Scanner gives the AR-153EN/AR-M155
full-colour scanning capability, complete with powerful
utility software. Button Manager lets you scan documents
directly into applications on your PC. Up to five
pre-registered applications are available, including
Sharpdesk, e-mail, PC-fax, OCR and Microsoft® Word.
Operation is quick and easy – simply press the Scan
button, select an application from the scan menu and
press Start!
Sharpdesk desktop document management software
allows you to easily browse through, edit, sort and file
your scanned documents.

without the aid of a sorter. The AR-M155 also
stacks each set slightly shifted apart from the
previous (offset stacking) for easy retrieval.
