COPIER INSTALLATION
Improper installation may damage the copier. Please note the following
during initial installation and whenever the copier is moved.
If the copier is moved from a cool place to a warm place, condensation may form inside the copier.
Operation in this condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave the copier at room
temperature for at least 2 hours before use.
Do not install your copier in areas that are:
●
damp, humid, or very dusty
●
exposed to direct sunlight
●
poorly ventilated
●
subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an
air conditioner or heater.
The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet
for easy connection.
Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that
meets the specified voltage and current requirements.
Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.
●
For this copier’s power supply requirements, see the name plate located
on the back of the unit.
Connect the copier to a power outlet which is not used
for other electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is
connected to the same outlet, the light may flicker.
Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for
servicing and proper ventilation.

GENERAL INFORMATION
POWER SAVE MODES
The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption
thereby reduce the cost of operation. In addition, these modes conserve
natural resources and help reduce environmental pollution. The two power
save modes are preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode.
●
User programs
The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time have been
preset at the factory to 90 sec.* for preheat mode and 30 min. for auto
power shut-off mode. These times can be changed using user programs.
It is suggested that you set appropriate times according to the actual usage
of the copier. See page 35.
* In European countries, the factory default setting is 30 sec.
Preheat mode
When the copier enters the preheat mode, the POWER SAVE ( ) indicator
will light up and other indicators will remain on or off as before. In this
condition, the fuser in the copier is maintained at a lower heat level, thereby
saving power. The preheat level is, however, high enough to allow the copier
to come to a ready condition or begin copying within 10 seconds after any
key input or copier operation such as paper tray operation is performed.
Auto power shut-off mode
When the copier enters the auto power shut-off mode, the POWER SAVE
( ) indicator will light up and all other indicators will go out. The auto
power shut-off mode saves more power but requires a longer time to warm
up before copying can begin.
Power save modes
As an ENERGY STA R
®
Partner,
SHARP has determined that this
product meets the ENERGY STA R
®
guidelines for energy efficiency.
43
GENERAL INFORMATION
Setting the power save modes
The time that elapses before the copier enters a power save mode after any
operation is made can be set manually. This time is set with user program No.
2 for the preheat mode and user program No. 3 for the auto power shut-off
mode. For these settings, see page 36.
●
The copier will enter the preheat mode first and then the auto power
shut-off mode after a preset time has elapsed when no copier operation
has been made.
●
If conflicting settings are made with user programs No. 3 and No. 5, the
last program set will have priority.
Copying from the preheat mode
Make desired copier selections and press the START
( ) key using the normal copying procedure.
●
When any key input is made or any other copier operation is made, the
POWER SAVE ( ) indicator will start to blink.
●
When the START key is pressed, the START key ( ) indicator will
go out and copying will start within 10 seconds. The POWER SAVE
( ) indicator will go out when copying starts.
Copying from the auto power shut-off mode
1
Press the START ( ) key.
●
The copier will exit the auto power shut-off mode and the POWER
SAVE ( ) indicator will start to blink.
2
Make desired copier selections and press the START
( ) key using the normal copying procedure.
●
It will take approximately 35 seconds for the copier to start copying.
However, you can make desired settings and press the START ( )
key during warm-up. Copying will start after warm-up is finished.

Using the SPF
●
Be sure to remove any staples or paper clips from the
originals.
●
Damaged or crumpled originals may misfeed in the SPF.
It is recommended that these originals be copied from the
original table.
●
Before placing curled or wavy originals into the document
feeder tray, be sure to flatten them. If not, original misfeeds
may result.
●
For best feeding of originals which have binding holes
punched into them, insert them so that the holes are
positioned to the right or along the side guides.
●
Special originals such as transparency film and tracing
paper should not be fed through the SPF but should be
copied from the original table.
1
Ensure that no original is left on the original table.
2
Adjust the original guides to the size of the originals.
3
Set the originals face up in the document feeder tray.
●
The SPF indicator will light up. If this indicator does not light up, the
originals are not properly set or the SPF is not properly closed.
4
Ensure that the copy paper size in the paper tray is the
same size as the originals.
●
If an optional paper feed unit is installed, a paper tray with the
corresponding paper size will be automatically selected.
5
Press the START ( ) key.
●
Since only one copy per original can be made, the number of copies
cannot be changed. However, if an optional electronic sorting kit is
installed, a multiple number of copies can be set using the numeric
keys.
●
In some regions, the copier is equipped with a 1-
page memory buffer. The number of copies can be
specified even if an optional electronic sorting kit is
not installed.
●
While making copies from the SPF, do not place
originals of the next copying job. Place them after all
copies of the current job have been output.
●
Press the CLEAR ( ) key to stop copying in the middle of a run.
Single pass feeder (AR-SP2)
Stream feeding mode
If the stream feeding mode has been enabled using user program
No. 4, the SPF indicator will continue to blink for approximately

Rotation copying
If user program No. 7 is set, the image of the original will rotate when the
orientation of the original does not match that of the copy paper. Rotation
copying will function only if the AUTO PAPER SELECT mode or AUTO
IMAGE mode has been selected. Even if user program No. 7 is not set,
rotation copying will function when the 2 in 1 or 4 in 1 function is selected.
See page 35. However, if enlargement copying onto a paper size larger than
A4 (8-1/2" x 11") is performed, the image cannot be rotated.
When this occurs, the detected size and orientation of the original will be
indicated by a steadily lighted indicator and a flashing indicator will show the
required orientation of the original. The original must be rotated 90° to match
the flashing indicator to prevent image loss on the copies.

If an electronic sorting kit (AR-EB3) is installed, the copier can perform
several additional useful functions. These functions are 2 in 1 and 4 in 1,
erase, margin shift, and sort/group functions. Also, rotation copying can be
performed and a multiple number of originals can be scanned and stored into
the memory. The memory can be expanded by adding commercially available
memories recommended by SHARP. For details, contact your dealer.
To use the 2 in 1 or 4 in 1 and sort/group functions, an
optional SPF (AR-SP2) is needed. When installing an
electronic sorting kit, it is recommended to install a single
pass feeder.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
Sort/group
If an optional electronic sorting kit is installed, the copier will have two
sorter modes for different copying jobs: one sorts copies into sets matching the sequence
of the originals and the second groups copies by originals.
The sort/group feature cannot be used with the dual page copy feature.
To change the SORT/GROUP mode, press the SORT/GROUP ( / ) key to select
the desired mode.
●
The capacity of the paper output tray is 250 sheets (150 sheets if an optional job separator
tray kit (AR-TR2) is installed). When the number of copies output reaches this limit in
a sort or a group copy run, copying will stop, the output tray full ( ) indicator will light
and the START key ( ) indicator will blink.
Remove the copies from the paper output tray and press the START ( ) key to resume
copying.

Sort mode
Each set of copies will be sequentially delivered to the
paper output tray.
Group mode
All copies of the same originals will be grouped in the
paper output tray.
Offset stack
If the offset stack mode is enabled using user program
No. 19, each copy will be offset by approximately 25 mm
(1 inch). When copying in the sort mode, each collated
set of copies will be stacked offset from the previous
set. When copying in the group mode, copies will be
offset and stacked in groups of multiple copies from the
same original.
If the offset stack mode is disabled, copies will not be
offset.
The offset stack mode is enabled in the factory default
setting.

Copying in the sort mode
When copying in the sort mode, the original image will be stored in the copier
memory each time an original is scanned and copying will start after all
originals have been scanned. To copy in the sort mode, an optional SPF
(AR-SP2) is needed.

same size as the originals.
●
If an optional paper feed unit is installed, a paper tray with the
corresponding paper size will be automatically selected.
4
Set the number of copies and press the START ( ) key.
●
Copying will start after the originals have been scanned. Up to 30
sheets of originals can be scanned. (If originals are fed continuously
using the stream feeding mode, up to approximately 60 sheets of A4
(8-1/2" x 11") originals can be scanned. However, when copying
originals which require more memory such as photographs, the
number of originals which can be scanned will be less.) When the
memory becomes full of scanned original image data, the ORIGINAL
DATA ( ) indicator will blink.
When the ORIGINAL DATA ( ) indicator blinks, the copier
will stop scanning. To start copying of scanned originals, press the
START ( ) key. To cancel copying, press the CLEAR ( ) or
CLEAR ALL ( ) key.

Section 4. Hazardous Identification (Emergency Overview)
Toner is a fine, black powder possessing no immediate hazard. There are no anticipated carcinogenic effects from
exposure based on animal tests performed using toner. When used as intended according to instructions, studies
do not indicate any symptoms of fibrosis will occur.
Section 5. Health Hazard Data
Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation? Skin? Ingestion?
Yes No Possible but very unusual.
Health Hazards: Acute oral toxicity ------- LDL0 of this toner is over 2,000mg/kg.
Mutagenicity ------------- The result of Ames test is negative.
Carcinogenicity: In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human
carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for which there is inadequate human
evidence, but sufficient animal evidence on which to base an opinion of carcinogenicity. The
classification is based upon the development of lung tumors in rats receiving chronic inhalation
exposures to free carbon black at levels that induce particle overload of the lung. Studies
performed in animal models other than rats did not show any association between carbon
black and lung tumors. Moreover, a two-year cancer bioassay using a typical toner preparation
containing carbon black demonstrated no association between toner exposure and tumor
development in rats.
Chronic Effect: In a study in rats of chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to moderate degree of
lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of the rats in the high concentration (16mg/m
3
) exposure
group, and a minimal to mild degree of fibrosis was noted in 22% of the animals in the middle
(4mg/m
3
) exposure group, but no pulmonary change was reported in the lowest (1mg/m

Section 4. Hazardous Identification (Emergency Overview)
Developer is a black powder containing small amounts of toner, and possessing no immediate hazard.
There are no anticipated carcinogenic effects from exposure based on animal tests performed using toner.
Section 5. Health Hazard Data
Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation? Skin? Ingestion?
No No Possible but very unusual.
Health Hazards: Acute oral toxicity ------------LDL0 of this toner which is included in this developer is over
2,000mg/kg.
Mutagenicity ------------------The toner, which is included in this developer, has been tested on
Ames test. The result is negative.
Carcinogenicity: In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human
carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for which there is inadequate human
evidence, but sufficient animal evidence on which to base an opinion of carcinogenicity. The
classification is based upon the development of lung tumors in rats receiving chronic inhalation
exposures to free carbon black at levels that induce particle overload of the lung. Studies
performed in animal models other than rats did not show any association between carbon
black and lung tumors.
While there have been no studies to date using developer, a two-year cancer bioassay using a
typical toner preparation containing carbon black (a small amount of toner is included in the
developer mixture) demonstrated no association between toner exposure and tumor
development in rats.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Minimal irritation to respiratory tract may occur as with exposure to any
non-toxic dust.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: None
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation; Remove to fresh air. If effects occur, consult medical personnel.
Eye; In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with water for 15 minutes.
