Improper installation may damage this product. Please note the following during initial installation and whenever the
machine is moved.
1. The machine 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.
●For the power supply requirements, see the
name plate on the main unit.
3. Do not install your machine 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.
4. 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/m3) 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.

INTRODUCTION
To gain the maximum benefits in using this product, it is recommended that the user read this manual to become
familiar with all the features and functions of the basic product and the precautionary information contained in the
manual.
This product is a high speed Digital full color copier / printer that can be expanded to become multifunctional through
the installation of optional peripheral devices. The product can be extended to include printer, network scanning or
network printing capabilities. This manual describes the basic use of the product as a copier and does not contain
information on using any of the optional peripheral devices. Separate operation manuals are included with each of
the optional peripheral devices. Refer to these manuals for their operation.
Original and paper sizes
This machine allows use of standard sizes in both the inch and AB systems.
These are shown in the tables below.
The meaning of "R" in original and paper size indications
Some original and paper sizes can be placed in either the portrait or landscape orientations. To differentiate between
landscape and portrait, the landscape orientation size indication will contain an "R". These are indicated as 8-1/2" x
11"R, 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R, A4R, B5R, etc. Sizes that can be placed only in the landscape orientation (11" x 17", 8-1/2"
x 14", 8-1/2" x 13", A3, B4) do not contain the "R" in their size indication.

MAIN FEATURES
1Full-color copies with vivid colors based on digital technology
Photos, color text, and other originals are scanned by full-color CCD sensors, and the acquired image
information is output in vivid full color at a resolution of 600 dpi using digital image processing technology.
The machine can also be used as a full-color network printer, and network scanner.
2A 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.

MAIN FEATURES

3Advanced image processing features based on digital technology
The scanned image data is converted to digital data, enabling the following advanced image processing features:
●
●●
●Photo Repeat :
Up to 24 full-size copies of a photo image can be made on a single sheet of paper (page 6-18).
●
●●
●Multi shot :
Up to four original pages can be copied onto a single sheet (page 6-19).
●
●●
●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 6-24).
* 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.
4Image 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.
5Standard 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.
6PostScript compatible
Installation of an optional PS expansion kit (AR-PK4) gives PostScript compatibility (PostScript 3).
Energy saving features
This product has the following two power reducing modes to help conserve natural resources and reduce
environmental pollution.
Preheat mode
Preheat mode automatically reduces the temperature of the fusing unit after the time set in the key operator
programs elapses when the machine is on standby. This allows the machine to use less power while on
standby. The machine automatically returns to normal operation when a key is pressed on the operation
panel, or when an original is placed to make a copy or send a fax.
Auto power shut-off mode
Auto power shut-off mode automatically shuts off power to the fusing unit after the time set in the key
operator programs elapses when the machine is on standby. This minimizes the power used by the
machine while on standby. When this mode activates, the touch panel screen turns off.
To return the machine to normal operation, press the mode select key (the indicator of this key will be lit).
Auto power shut-off mode can be configured in the key operator programs. The mode is initially set (factory
default setting) to activate after 60 seconds elapses. (See page 9 of the key operator's guide.)
If a print job or fax is received while auto power shut-off mode or preheat mode is activated, the machine
automatically returns to normal operation.
As an ENERGY STAR®Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets the
ENERGY STAR®guidelines for energy efficiency.
The Environmental Choice Program guidelines are applied to the products only in Canada. The
