The AR-M316/M256 has a quick first copy time of 4.5/4.8 seconds to save valuable time when performing multiple short-run jobs. And with a continuous copy rate of up to 31/25 cpm*, you can do more copy jobs in less time.

The AR-M316/M256 can automatically produce duplex copies from one- or two-sided originals. This reduces paper costs and helps save filing space. Duplex copying is even more productive when used together with the optional RSPF (reversing single pass feeder), which efficiently feeds in up to 100 pages of either one- or two-sided originals. |
 |
The AR-M316/M256’s Scan Once/Print Many (SOPM) function does one scan of multiple-page documents and stores them in memory for making up to 999 copies of each page. The Electronic Sorting function then automatically collates multiple sets of copies in page order without the aid of a sorter. The AR-M316/M256 also stacks each set slightly shifted apart from the previous (offset stacking) for easy retrieval. All this adds up to speedy copying that boosts productivity even for large-volume documents. |
 |
The AR-M316/M256 makes it easy to create professional-looking booklets. Working together with the highly productive built-in stackless duplex module, the optional Saddle Stitch Finisher folds and staples sets of documents to make completed booklets. A Punch Module allows you to punch holes in documents for easy filing. And, a Finisher is also available for jobs that require only simple sorting and stapling.

With optional extra memory installed, the AR-M316/M256 easily handles copy jobs exceeding the RSPF’s 100-sheet capacity*1 . Large-volume documents of up to 2,970 pages*2 are automatically stored in memory. Users can then print the entire document in a single run.

The AR-M316/M256 comes standard with 1,100-sheet paper capacity: two 500-sheet drawers and a 100-sheet multi-bypass feeder. For large-volume jobs and a wider selection of available paper sizes, the AR-M316/M256 can accommodate two types of extra paper drawers for a total paper capacity of up to 2,100 sheets. When a tray runs out of paper, the Auto Tray Switching function automatically switches to another paper tray filled with the same size paper. |

The AR-M316/M256 is standard equipped with various image editing functions that make copying more convenient.
