INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
To ensure safety and proper machine performance, please note the following
before initial installation and whenever the machine is to be relocated.
1. The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy
connection.
2. 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.
3. Do not install the machine where it is:
damp or humid,
exposed to direct sunlight,
extremely dusty,
poorly ventilated,
subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes (e.g., near an air
conditioner or heater).
4. Ensure that the area chosen for the machine location is level.
5. Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing and
proper ventilation.
A small amount of ozone is produced within the copier during operation.
The emission level is insufficient to cause any health hazard.
NOTE:
The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm
(0.2 mg/m
3
) calculated as an 8 hr. time-weighted average concentration.
However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable
odor, it is advisable to place the copier in a ventilated area.

CAUTIONS
1. Do not touch the photoconductive drums or paper transport.
Scratches or smudges on them will cause copy defects.
2. The fusing unit is extremely hot. Exercise care in this area.
3. Do not look directly at the light source. Doing so may damage
your eyes.
4. Installation adjsuters.
When moving the machine, be sure to raise the installation
adjusters. After moving the machine, lower the installation
adjusters until they reach the floor.
This copier contains fusing oil that is very slippery if leaked
on the floor. Ensure that the machine is located at level
position and take care if it is to be moved that oil leakage does
not occur.
5. This copier is equipped with a forgery prevention feature. If paper
that closely resembles paper money is used as an original,
copying may not be performed properly.

GETTING STARTED Power on and off
Sleep mode
If the sleep mode is enabled, the copier will enter the mode once a
programmed length of time has elapsed without any copier
operation after the last copy of a run is made or the power is first
turned on. When the copier enters the sleep mode, the display on
the touch panel will disappear. In this condition, power is not
supplied to the fuser in the copier. To exit from the sleep mode,
press the COPY key.
KEY OPERATOR See page 25 of the KEY OPERATOR’S GUIDE for
setting the sleep mode timer. See page 30 of the KEY OPERATOR’S
GUIDE for enabling or disabling the sleep mode.
Preheat mode
The copier will enter the mode once the set time has elapsed without
any copier operation after the last copy of a run is made or power is
turned on.
When the copier enters the preheat mode, the message “PREHEAT
MODE. PLACE ORIGINALS.” will appear.
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 approximately 30 seconds after any key input is made.
To copy from the preheat mode, make desired copier selections and
press a START key using the normal copying procedure.
KEY OPERATOR See page 26 of the KEY OPERATOR’S GUIDE for
information on setting the preheat mode.

Power save modes
The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power
consumption and thereby reduce the cost of operation and to conserve
natural resources to help reduce environmental pollution. The two
power save modes are preheat mode and sleep mode.
KEY OPERATOR
The preheat activation time and the sleep activation time have been
preset at the factory to 15 min. for preheat mode and 60 min. for sleep
mode. These times can be changed as described in the key operator’s

Image loss (max. 13/64" (5 mm)) can occur along the
leading edge of the copies. Image loss (max. 9/32"
(7mm)) can occur along the trailing edge of the
copies. Also image loss (max. 1/4" (6 mm) in total)
can occur along the other edges of the copies.
The RADF can handle a maximum of 50 originals of
5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 8-1/2" x 11" sizes and 30 originals
of 8-1/2" x 14" to 11" x 17" sizes.
2-sided to 1-sided copying and 2-sided to 2-sided*
copying can be performed.
* For 2-sided to 2-sided copying, an optional duplex
module (AR-DU2) must be installed.
The originals must be set face up in the document
feeder tray.
Different size originals with the same width can be
placed in the document feeder tray and automatically
copied onto copy paper of their respective sizes.
The automatic copy ratio selection will not function in
this case.
This copier can be equipped with an optional reversing
automatic document feeder (RADF).
The RADF will handle multiple originals.
Before loading originals into the document feeder
tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips
from them.
Damaged or crumpled originals or originals which
have been folded may misfeed in the RADF or cause
incorrect size detection. It is recommended that these
be copied from the document glass and the copies be
used as original documents.
When feeding originals which have closely spaced
binding holes punched along an edge, place the
originals so that the punched edge is positioned to the
right or along the side guides.
Special originals such as transparency film and tracing
paper should not be fed from the RADF, but should be
placed on the document glass.
Stream feeding mode
If the stream feeding mode has been enabled using a key operator
program, the message “NEWLY PLACED ORIGINALS WILL BE FED
AND COPIED AUTOMATICALLY.” will appear and the original feed
indicator will continue to blink for approximately 5 seconds after
feeding of all originals is completed. While this message is displayed,
any new originals placed in the document feeder tray will be fed and
copied automatically.

stations.
2
Remove the first original and place the second original
face down on the document glass.
Make sure the first and second originals are oriented in the same
way on the document glass.
If an optional document feeder is used, the originals must be fed

CHAPTER2
Automatic
This is the standard initial setting for this copier. In this mode, the
characteristics of an original being copied are “read” by the exposure
system, and exposure adjustments are made automatically.
This optimizes the contrast of the copied images.
Original image type
TEXT/PRTD. PHOTO:
This mode provides the best balance for copying
an original which contains both text and printed
photographs.
TEXT: This mode is useful in enhancing very low density
areas of an original or in suppressing unusually
high-density background areas.
TEXT/PHOTO: This mode provides the best balance for copying
an original which contains both text and
photographs.
PRINTED PHOTO: This mode is useful for copying printed
photographs.
PHOTO: This mode provides the best copies of photographs
with fine details.
MAP: This mode is useful to provide the best shading
and fine details found on most maps.
COPY OF COPY: This mode provides the better adjustment for the
printed originals such as copied text or copied
photo. If the check box is checked, only Text/prtd.
photo, Text and Printed photo mode keys are
shown on the touch panel, then select the type of
original among them. The exposure can only be
adjusted manually.
EXPOSURE ADJUSTMENTS
Exposure selections for this copier should be selected according to
the type of originals being copied: TEXT/PRTD. PHOTO, TEXT,
TEXT/PHOTO, PHOTO, PRINTED PHOTO or MAP. (Refer to the
samples on page 4 to see the effects on copy images in relation to
the EXPOSURE ADJUSTMENTS.) If the original image type is
TEXT/PRTD. PHOTO, TEXT or TEXT/PHOTO, the exposure can be
adjusted automatically or manually. If the original image type is
PHOTO, PRINTED PHOTO or MAP, the exposure can be adjusted
manually only. Also if the COPY OF COPY mode is selected, it allows
only TEXT/PRTD. PHOTO, TEXT and PRINTED PHOTO image
types for the better copy result and the exposure can be adjusted
manually only. The standard initial setting of the original image type
for this copier is TEXT/PRTD. PHOTO.
When copying a colored original in the Black/White copy mode, a
colored background with text in the background area may be
copied with the text obscured. Check with the key operator for the
setting of “Disabling of Pre-scan in B/W Copy” program (see page
30 of the Key Operator’s Guide). If pre-scan is enabled, such
obscuring may be reduced.

STORAGE OF SUPPLIES
The supplies of this copier replaced by the user include copy paper,

For best copying results, be sure to use
only Sharp Genuine Supplies which are
designed, engineered, and tested to
maximize the life and performance of
Sharp copiers. Look for the Genuine
Supplies label on the toner package.
Photoconductive drum
The AR-C250 Copier has advanced process control technology
which improves copy quality uniformity. This feature stabilizes copy
quality throughout the life of the photoconductive drum by automatically
compensating for the changes in drum characteristics due to wear,
operator use patterns, and environmental conditions. The automatic
adjustments are made in response to a sensor that detects the
reflectance characteristics of the drum.
WARNING
This feature requires drums containing the special reflectance area
(recommended Sharp genuine photoconductive drum), to prevent
low image density copies from poor process control and possible
damage to the machine. If you use other drums, the process control
system cannot run properly.
Proper storage
1
Store the supplies in a location that is:
clean and dry,
at a stable temperature,
not exposed to direct sunlight.
2
Store copy paper in the wrapper and lying flat.
Paper stored in packages standing up or out of the wrapper may
curl or become damp, resulting in paper misfeeds.

20-BIN STAPLE SORTER (AR-SS2)
There are two sorter modes for different copying jobs: one sorts
copies into sets matching the sequence of the originals and the
second groups copies from different originals into separate sort bins.
The AR-SS2 20-Bin Staple Sorter has, in addition to the above two
modes, a STAPLE SORT mode. Sorted copies can be automatically
stapled together.
The maximum allowable number of copies varies with the selected
mode.
The number of copies will be automatically reset to the maximum
number allowable for the selected mode when copying begins if this
maximum is exceeded.
KEY OPERATOR In the default setting, if the number of copies
exceeds the bin capacity in the SORT or the STAPLE SORT mode, the
copying will be automatically stopped. To cancel this setting, see page 24
of the KEY OPERATOR'S GUIDE.
PART NAMES
CAUTION
Do not put pressure on the sorter or subject it to undue force.

NOTES:
When color copying is performed, much toner may be put on copy paper depending on the image. In this case,
the copies may be curled, resulting in improper stapling or improperly aligned copies.
If the specified number of copies is more than the maximum number of copies that can be set, the copy quantity
display will change to the corresponding number in the above table in the SORT, STAPLE SORT, or GROUP
mode after copying starts.
When making single-sided copies from two-sided originals, the maximum number of originals that can be copied
is half the number shown in the above table.
Do not use special paper in the SORT, STAPLE SORT, or GROUP mode.
