Digital Multifunctional System
A Business-Smart Way to Balance Cost and Function
Budget-Friendly MFP Streamlines
Document Tasks
Built to deliver reliable copy/print performance at an affordable
price, the B/W AR-M560N/M460N offers a short warm-up time,
fast output, and easy operation from a colour LCD control panel.
And while this energy-efficient MFP handles fundamental
document tasks with ease, a variety of finishing options can be
added to save additional time and effort.

PRODUCTIVITY
Super-Efficient Output
The AR-M560N/M460N delivers a fast output
of 56*1/46 ppm*2. And the first copy comes
out in just 3.7/3.9 seconds to save valuable
time when performing multiple short-run jobs.

Extra Paper Capacity
For high-volume work, the
AR-M560N/M460N can
accommodate an optional stand
with 500 + 2,000-sheet paper
drawer for a total capacity of
6,600 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,
allowing you to do extra-large volume jobs without worry.
Standard-Equipped RSPF and
Duplex Module
The AR-M560N/M460N comes
equipped with a 100-sheet RSPF
(reversing single pass feeder) and
has a built-in stackless duplex
module for making two-sided
copies and printouts.
Professional-Looking Finishing
The AR-M560N/M460N can accommodate a range of finishing
options to suit a variety of workplaces and applications. For basic
sorting/stapling of documents, two types of handy finishers are
available: the space-efficient Finisher can be added on without
taking up much room, while the large-capacity Finisher has
output trays that can hold up to 4,000 sheets. Saddle Stitch
Finishers also come in two types: one has an output tray capacity of
up to 1,000 sheets, while the other boasts a capacity of up to 4,000
sheets. In addition to basic sorting/stapling, both types of Saddle
Stitch Finishers can fold/staple documents of up to 15 sheets to
make completed booklets. Punch Modules are available for each
finisher.
Scan to USB Drive
The AR-M560N/M460N enables
full-colour scanning directly to
USB drives via a USB port located
below the control panel.
Job Build for Large-Volume Scanning
The AR-M560N/M460N easily handles large-volume copy jobs
exceeding the RSPFs 100-sheet*1 capacity. For example, a 270-sheet
original can be scanned as batches of 100 + 100 + 70 sheets and
automatically stored in the MFPs memory*2. Users can then print the
entire document in a single run.
*1: A4 (8 1/2" x 11"), 80 g/m2
*2: The number of pages that can be stored for the Job Build function
depends on the machines memory capacity and other conditions.

SUPERB IMAGE QUALITY
High-Resolution Output
Enhanced Scan Performance
The AR-M560N/M460Ns digital smoothing technology enhances the
600 dpi print and copy resolution to the equivalent of 9,600 x 600
dpi for incredibly smooth reproduction of fine lines. Fine-grained
photographs, detailed illustrations and graphs, and small text come
out crisp and clear.
A function of Auto Colour Mode, the automatic suppression of
unnecessary background colour is essential to achieving crisp, clear,
natural-looking images. The AR-M560N/M460N provides enhanced
background suppression without losing colour balance, resulting in
scanned images that closely match the original.
Auto Colour Mode
Text comes out crisp and clear,
and unnecessary background

Stable Halftones and Smooth Gradations
Halftone process control employs an image density sensor to
enhance the stability and accuracy of halftones, thereby bringing
consistently high image quality to copy/print jobs. Meanwhile, 4-bit
depth, rated at 600 dpi resolution, generates fine dots and rich
greyscales that provide smooth gradations.
