Copying from the SPF/RSPF
1Make sure that an original has not 
been left on the document glass. 
Close the SPF/RSPF.
2Adjust the original guides to the size 
of the original(s).
3Set the original(s) face up in the 
document feeder tray.
Insert the original into the document feeder tray as 
far as it will go. When the original is set, the 
SPF/RSPF indicator will light up.
The ORIGINAL SIZE indicator corresponding to the 
size of the original lights up.
Make sure that the ORIGINAL TO COPY indicators 
are not lit. (When automatic two-sided copying is 
supported.)
Make sure that the PAPER SIZE indicator is lit.
If the indicator is not lit, no tray has the same size of 
paper as the original. Load paper of the required 
size in a tray, or select the bypass tray with the 
[TRAY SELECT] key ( ) and copy from the 
bypass tray.
The bypass tray must be manually selected.
To copy on paper of a different size than the 
original, select the paper with the [TRAY SELECT] 
key ( ).
4Set the number of copies.
5Press the [START] key ( ) to begin 
copying.
The copy is delivered to 
the paper output tray. 
Do not place originals of different sizes 
together in the document feeder tray. This 
may cause misfeeds.Note
The paper output tray can hold up to 250 
sheets of paper.
About one minute after copying ends, Auto 
clear timer activates and restores the copy 
settings to the initial settings. (p.12) The 
setting for Auto clear time can be changed 
in the user programs. (p.44)
Press the [CLEAR] key ( ) to stop 
copying in the middle of a run.
If you find it difficult to remove the original 
from the document feeder tray, open the 
feeding roller cover first and then remove 
the original. If you remove the original 
without opening the feeding roller cover, the 
original may become dirty.

pressed or when Auto clear time activates.
Removing the document cover
To copy large originals like newspapers, remove the 
document cover. To remove the cover, lift straight 
up as shown. To replace the cover, do the reverse.
The SPF/RSPF cannot be removed.
Copying books or originals with folds or 
creases
Press down on the document cover/SPF/RSPF 
while copying as shown. If the document 
cover/SPF/RSPF is not completely closed, shadows 
may appear on the copy or it may be fuzzy. Fan 
originals with folds or creases well before placing.
Originals that can be used in the SPF/RSPF
Originals that are 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 to 11 x 17 and 15 
lbs. to 24 lbs. (56 g/m2 to 90 g/m2) can be used. A 
maximum of 40 pages can be placed at once.
Originals that cannot be used in the 
SPF/RSPF
The following originals cannot be used. These may 
cause misfeeds or smudging and unclear images.

translucent paper, and photographs.
 Carbon paper, thermal paper.
 Originals that are creased, folded, or torn.
 Glued originals, cut-out originals.
 Originals with binder holes.
 Originals printed using an ink ribbon (thermal 
transfer printing), originals on thermal transfer 
paper.
Stream feeding mode
If Stream feeding mode is enabled in the user 
programs (p.44), the SPF/RSPF indicator will blink 
for about 5 seconds after all originals are fed. If a 
new original is placed in the SPF/RSPF during this 
time, the original will automatically feed in and 
copying will begin.
 Make sure that there are no paper clips or 
staples on the original.
 Straighten curled originals before placing 
them in the document feeder tray. Curled 
originals may cause misfeeds.

MAKING A COPY DARKER OR LIGHTER
Automatic exposure adjustment is initially enabled. This function automatically adjusts the copy image according to 
the original being copied. If you wish to select the exposure level yourself, follow the steps below. (Select from two 
original types and five exposure levels for each original type.) The exposure level used in automatic exposure 
adjustment can also be changed. (ADJUSTING THE AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE LEVEL (p.42))
Original types
●AUTO ......Automatic exposure adjustment is enabled and the exposure is automatically adjusted according to the 
original being copied. The exposure is lowered for colored areas and background shadows.
●TEXT .......The exposure is raised for light areas and lowered for dark backgrounds to make text easier to read.
●PHOTO ...Halftones in the photo are reproduced with greater clarity.
1Press the [AUTO/TEXT/PHOTO] key to 
select the original type.
To adjust the exposure of 
a text original manually, 
press until the TEXT 
indicator lights. To copy a 
photo, press until the 
PHOTO indicator lights.
2Press the [Light] key ( ) or [Dark] 
key ( ) to adjust the exposure.
For a darker image, 
press the [Dark] key 
( ). For a lighter image, 
press the [Light] key 
().
If exposure level 2 or 4 is 
selected, the two 
indicators will light 
simultaneously.
SELECTING THE TRAY
Auto paper select mode (p. 20) normally operates (unless it has been disabled), and thus when the original is placed 
on the document glass and the original size is selected, or when the original is placed in the SPF/RSPF, the tray with 
the same size of paper as the original is automatically selected. If you wish to use a tray other than the automatically 
selected tray (for example you wish to enlarge or reduce the copy or use the bypass tray), press the [TRAY SELECT] 
key ( ) to select the desired tray.
Auto tray switching
If the tray runs out of paper during copying and there is another tray with the same size of paper and the same 
feeding orientation (horizontal or vertical), the other tray is automatically selected and copying continues. Auto tray 
switching can be disabled in the user programs. (p.44)
To return to automatic adjustment, press until 
the AUTO indicator lights.

AUTOMATIC TWO-SIDED COPYING
(AR-M205 only)
On models that support automatic two-sided copying, two originals placed on the document glass can be copied 
onto each side of a single sheet of paper. In addition, an RSPF can be used to copy two originals onto one sheet of 
paper, or one two-sided original onto two sheets of paper, or one two-sided original onto each side of one sheet of 
paper.

 Special paper and 5-1/2 x 
8-1/2 paper cannot be 
used.
 The bypass tray can only be 
used when making 
one-sided copies from 
two-sided originals.
 To use paper in the bypass tray, make a two-sided copy as explained in TWO-SIDED COPYING USING THE 
BYPASS TRAY (p.26).
 When performing automatic two-sided copying of a one-sided original, or one-sided copying of a two-sided 
original, the image on the back can be rotated 180 degrees to reverse the top and bottom (Image rotation in 
duplex copying). To rotate the image 180 degrees, enable the setting as explained in IMAGE ROTATION IN 
DUPLEX COPYING (p.29) or in the user programs (p.44), and then follow the steps below. In particular, when 
a one-sided vertical (portrait) original is placed in a horizontal orientation (8-1/2 x 14 or 11 x 17 size) for 
two-sided copying, the top and bottom of the images on the front and back of the paper will be reversed, and 
thus this function can be conveniently used to make the top and bottom of the images agree.Note
