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.

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.
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner,
SHARP has determined that this
product meets the ENERGY STAR®
guidelines for energy efficiency.

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.
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.

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
5 seconds after feeding of all originals is completed. While this
indicator is blinking, any new originals placed in the SPF will be
fed and copied automatically. See page 35, USER PROGRAMS.
Ensure that no original is left on the original table.

Adjust the original guides to the size of the originals.
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.
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.
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.

ELECTRONIC SORTING KIT (AR-EB3)
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
thememory.Thememorycanbeexpandedbyaddingcommerciallyavailable
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

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

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/m3) exposure
group, and a minimal to mild degree of fibrosis was noted in 22% of the animals in the middle
(4mg/m3) exposure group, but no pulmonary change was reported in the lowest (1mg/m3)
exposure group, the most relevant level to potential human exposures.
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.

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:
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
None
Inhalation; Remove to fresh air. If effects occur, consult medical personnel.
Eye; In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with water for 15 minutes.
