[1] PRODUCT OUTLINE
* For the items which are not specified in this Service Manual, refer to the AR-P350/P450 Service Manual.

A. Scanner unit with duplex SPF (AR-EF1)
This unit is an option scanner unit for the laser printer AR-P350/P450/ M350/M450. By installing this unit to the above laser printer (installation of the AR-RK1 is also required), the printer can work as a digital multi-function device with the following functions: 1) Copy function 2) Network scanner function (The AR-NS2, network scanner kit, is required.) 3) Fax function (The AR-FX5, fax extending kit, is required.)

B. Multi-function controller (AR-M11)
This unit is a multi-function controller for the laser printer AR-P350/P450. When installing the AR-EF1 to the above laser printer, the printer controller must be replaced with this multi-function controller.

C. Scanner rack (AR-RK1)
This rack is required when installing the scanner unit (AR-EF1) with duplex DSPF to the laser printer AR-P350/P450/M350/M450. To install this rack, the machine must be equipped with the large capacity paper feed desk (AR-D13) or the 3 stage paper feed desk (AR-D14).

D. AR-M350/M450
This machine is a version of the AR-P350/P450, and is equipped with the multi-function controller as standard equipments. To install this model, the large capacity paper feed desk (AR-D13) or the 3 stage paper feed desk (AR-D14) is required.
