MAIN FEATURES
1 Full-color copies with vivid colors based on digital technology
The colors of scanned original are received by full-color CCD sensors. The output data from the sensors are
catagorized according to original type (photo, colored text, etc.) and then converted to color print data by digital
image processing technology. The result is a high-resolution 600-dpi, full-color copy with vivid colors.
The machine can also be used as a full-color network printer*, and a network scanner function can further be
added as an option.
* The AR-C260 requires the printer controller board and print server card options

MAIN FEATURES
2 A range of optional units to enhance productivity
A range of optional equipment is available to enhance productivity, such as duplex units for producing two-sided
output, additional paper feed units to increase the number of available paper sizes and paper capacity, and
paper output units that are capable of stapling and saddle stitch binding.
3 Advanced image processing features based on digital technology
1
The scanned image data is converted to digital data, enabling the following advanced image processing features:
G Photo Repeat :
Up to 24 full-size copies of a photo image can be made on a single sheet of paper (page 6-18).
G Multi shot :
Up to four original pages can be copied onto a single sheet (page 6-19).
G Pamphlet copy* :
Copies of original pages are arranged in proper order for copying so that the copies can be center-stapled and
folded into a pamphlet (page 6-25).
* Pamphlet copy requires the Duplex module/2 x 500 sheet paper drawer and Duplex bypass/inverter unit
options. If a saddle stitch finisher is installed, copies can be stapled in two positions along the center of copies
and folded at the center.
* Pamphlet copy is only possible with black and white copies.
4 Image processing manual exposure adjustment for optimal copying
Image processing is optimized for the type of original being copied (text, photo, mixed text and photo or map).
This along with the ability to manually adjust exposure makes it possible to obtain copies that are faithful to the
original.
5 Standard offset function makes it easy to distinguish between sets of copies
As sets of copies are delivered to the center tray, each set is offset from the previous set for easy separation.
Energy saving features
This product has the following two power reducing modes that conform to the
Energy Star guidelines to help conserve natural resources and reduce
environmental pollution.
Preheat mode
The preheat mode is the first level of power reduction. The power is
®
As an ENERGY STAR
reduced to the fuser unit a preset time after the machine has completed a
job and no further machine operations have been performed. The machine
can recover to the ready condition within a short period of time. The preset
time to enter the mode can be set by a key operator program.
Partner,
SHARP
has
determined that this product
meets
STAR
the
guidelines
ENERGY
®
for
energy efficiency.
Auto power shut-off mode
The auto power shut-off mode is the second level of power reduction. In this mode power is shut off to the
fusing unit and the touch panel. In this state more energy is saved than in the preheat mode but the time
to recover to the ready condition will be longer. The preset time to enter this mode can be set by a key
operator program.
When this product is used as a printer, and either of the above modes is active, the mode will be deactivated
automatically by an incoming job and the machine will automatically warm up and start to print when it has
reached the ready temperature.
When this product is configured for multi-function operation, and either of the above modes is active, the mode
will be deactivated as above by an incoming print job. Either mode will also be deactivated by any key
operation on the operation panel or by the action of an original being placed for copying.

LOADING PAPER
Loading paper in the bypass tray
The bypass tray can be used to feed the same paper specified for paper tray 1 or for special papers. For paper types
that can be used in the bypass tray, see the specifications for the bypass tray in the paper tray specifications (page
2-9).
Up to 250 sheets of SHARP standard paper or up to 100 postcards can be set in the bypass tray.
NOTE
G After loading the paper in the bypass tray, be sure to set the paper type and size (step 4) if these were changed.
G Do not use inkjet paper. This may cause misfeeds in the fusing unit.
Insert the copy paper all the way into the
bypass tray. (Do not force the paper in.)
1 Open the bypass tray.

Place the copy paper
face up. If the bypass
tray guides are set
wider than the copy
paper, the inside of the
machine may become
soiled, resulting in

Be sure to pull the tray extension all the way out. If
the tray extension is not pulled all the way out, the
size of the paper loaded in the bypass tray may not
display correctly.
If you loaded a different type of paper from the
previous paper, be sure to set the new paper type
as explained in "Setting the paper type and paper
size in the bypass tray" (page 2-12). If you loaded
a special size of paper in the bypass tray, set the
paper size as explained in "Setting the paper size
when an extra size is loaded" (page 2-11).
(If you do not set a size, part or all of the image
may not print.)
To support papers that
extend past the tray
extension, pull out the
wire extension.
This completes the procedure for loading
paper in the bypass tray.
Set the bypass tray guides to the width of
the copy paper.

G When loading plain paper other than paper
recommended for color, SHARP standard paper,
special media other than postcards, SHARP-
recommended transparency film, or paper to be
printed on the back, the paper must be loaded one
sheet at a time. Loading more than one sheet at a
time will cause misfeeds.
G Before loading heavy paper, straighten any curling
in the paper.
G When adding paper, remove any paper remaining
in the tray, combine it with the paper to be added,
and reload as a single stack.
G Do not use paper that has already been printed on
by a plain paper fax machine or a laser printer.
This may cause printed images to become dirty.
G When printing on transparency film, be sure to
remove each sheet as it exits the machine.
Allowing sheets to stack in the output tray may
cause curling.
G Use only SHARP-recommended transparency
film. Insert the film so that the rounded corner is on

When setting envelopes or postcards in the bypass tray, set them in the orientation shown below.
Loading postcards
Loading envelopes
Insert the postcard with the side to be printed on
facing up. The postcard should be oriented as
shown in the diagram.
Only the front side of envelopes can be printed.
Insert the envelope with the front side facing up.
Printing onto envelopes or postcards
GAttempting to print onto both sides of envelopes or postcards may result in misfeeds or poor prints.
GDo not use pre-printed envelopes.
GBefore inserting a postcard or envelope, straighten any curled edges. Curled edges may cause creases, color
deviations, misfeeds, and poor quality images.
Printing onto envelopes
GAttempting to print on envelopes that have metal clasps, plastic snaps, string closures, windows, linings, self-
adhesive patches or synthetic materials may cause misfeeds, inadequate toner adherence or other trouble.
GEnvelopes with embossed surfaces may cause the prints to become smudged.
GUnder high humidity and temperature conditions the glue flaps on some envelopes may become sticky and be
sealed closed when printed.
GUse only envelopes which are flat and crisply folded. Curled or poorly formed envelopes may be poorly printed
or may cause misfeeds.
GPrint quality is not guaranteed in the area 13/32" or 10 mm from the
edges of the envelope.
GPrint quality is not guaranteed on parts of envelopes where there is a
large step-like change of thickness, such as on three-layer or four-layer
envelopes.
Can be used
GPrint quality is not guaranteed on envelopes having peel off flaps for
sealing the envelopes.
Cannot be used
Fusing unit pressure adjusting levers
In some cases damage to the envelopes, color deviations, or smudging may occur even if envelopes within the
specifications are used. This problem may be reduced by shifting the fusing unit pressure adjusting levers from
their normal pressure position to the lower pressure position. Follow the procedure on the next page. (2-7)
NOTE
Be sure to return the lever to the normal position when you have finished feeding envelopes. If not, inadequate
toner adherence, paper misfeeds or other trouble may occur.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problems related to general functions of the machine are described in this section. For problems related specifically
to copying, see page 7-4. For problems related to network scanner functions, see the operation manual for that
function. For problems related to the saddle stitch finisher refer to page 3-12 of this manual. Problems are not always
due to machine failure and in many cases can be easily resolved by following the solutions in the table below. If it is
determined that service is required, turn the power switch off, unplug the power cord and request service.
If the message "CALL FOR SERVICE. CODE:**-**" appears in the touch panel, turn off the main switch, wait about
10 seconds, and then turn the main switch back on. If the message still appears after turning the switch off and
on several times, it is likely that a failure has occurred to be required service. In this event, stop using the machine,
unplug the power cord, and contact your Sharp dealer.

Notes on use of the reversing automatic document feeder
GUse originals within the specified size and weight ranges. Use of originals out of the specified range may cause
an original misfeed.
GBefore loading originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips.
GIf originals have damp spots from correction fluid, ink or glue from pasteups, be sure they are dried before they
are fed. If not, the interior of the document feeder or the document glass may be soiled.
GTo prevent incorrect original size detection, original misfeeds or smudges on copies, use the following as a
guide for feeding originals.
Transparency film, tracing paper, carbon paper, thermal paper or originals printed with thermal transfer ink
ribbon should not be fed through the document feeder. Originals to be fed through the feeder should not be

favorable than those given to the dealer by Sharp. You should be aware,
however, that Sharp does not itself extend any warranties, either express or
implied, directly to you, the end-user and no one is authorized to make any
representations or warranties on behalf of Sharp. Specifically, SHARP DOES

damages or loss, either direct, incidental or consequential, which you, the end-
user, may experience as a result of your purchase or use of the hardware,
software or firmware embodied in or used in conjunction with this Product. Your
sole remedy, in the event that you encounter any difficulties with this Product, is
against the authorized dealer from which you purchased the Product. In the
