INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the copier, printer, and scanner functions of the AR-7024/AR-7024D digital multifunctional
system. And also explains how to configure network settings to enable the machine to be used as a network printer/
scanner.
USING THE MANUAL
This machine has been designed to provide convenient copying features in a minimum amount of office space and
with maximum operational ease. To get full use of all machine features, be sure to familiarise yourself with this
manual and the machine. For quick reference during machine use, SHARP recommends printing out this manual
and keep it in a handy location.
ABOUT THE MANUALS
The manuals for the machine are as follows:
Start Guide
This manual explains:
• Specifications
• Cautions for using the machine in safety
Operation Guide (this guide)
This manual explains:
• How to install the software that allows the machine to be used as a printer and scanner for your computer
• Part names of the machine
• Available paper type for this machine
• Basic copy procedure and advanced copy functions
