Features of the AR-651/810
The AR-651/810 is a digital copier which is high-speed, compact and high-durability. The AR-651/810 can
read the image in the memory temporarily after scanning, so you can operate sorting/grouping, etc. as well
as processing/editing quietly, quickly and easily. And the combination of various finishing function such as
thick paper and tab paper, etc. makes finishing easier as you request.
The AR-651/810 also has the following convenient features, functions and options.
The copying speed is 65 copies (LT) per minute for the AR-651 and 81 copies (LT) per minute for the
AR-810.
You can scan the originals that you request to copy during printing.
The warm-up time has been drastically shortened to approximately 160 seconds (about half of that of
the Sharp copier AR-650).
A wide variety of media from thick paper ( up to 110lb. Index) to tab paper, OHP-films, hole punched
paper, etc. are acceptable.
'Finishing mode' and '2-sided copy', which are frequently used, put together to one display (Quick tab on
the touch panel) to access easily.
'Automatic density mode' reads the density of originals automatically and sets the proper copy density.
'Automatic paper selection' reads the size of originals automatically and sets the paper size, and 'Auto
matic zoom selection' calculates the copy magnification.
Comes with rich editing functions specific to digital such as '2in1/ 4in1’, ‘Annotation’ and‘Page Numberring’,
etc.
Using the reversing automatic document feeder allows you to copy at once with 'Mixed-sized original
mode' though the original sizes are different.
Loading the page memory and hard disc as standard equipment enables 2 in 1/4 in 1, 'Electronic sort'
and 'Magazine sort' etc.
When using the external LCF (optional), you can make maximum of 7500 copies continuously. (External
LCF:4000 sheets, drawer: 500 sheets x 2, Tandem LCF: 2500 sheets)
Installing an optional finisher, an optional hole punch and an optional inserter offer quick sorting such as
'Staple', 'Magazine sort' 'Hole punch' and 'Paper insert' of copies automatically.
The optional printer controller also allows you to scan from the touch panel.

PRECAUTIONS
1. Installation
1The AR-651/810 should be installed by a qualified service technician.
Note: The packing material should be disposed of properly.
2To obtain the best possible results, this copier should be used in conjunction with a
dedicated AC power line with the following ratings.
115V— 60Hz,20A
Notes:
1. The use of other appliances or other equipment on the same line as this copier may adversely
affect performance and copy quality.
2. Be sure to use a 3-conductor, grounded wall outlet.
3. In areas where a 2-pin plug is used, the copier must be grounded for safety.
Never ground it to a gas pipe, a water pipe, or any other object not suitable for grounding.
3After a suitable place has been selected for installation of the AR-651/810, please do
not change it. Avoid excessive heat, dust, vibration and direct sunlight. Also, provide
proper ventilation as the copier emits a small amount of ozone.
Notes:
1. The recommended environmental range for use is as follows:
• Temperature: 10~30°C/50~86°F
• Humidity: 20~85% RH (Non condensing)
2. To insure optimal operation, allow clearances of at least 31.5" on the left, 31.5" on the right and 3.9"
behind (refer to the illustration below).
The socket outlet should be near the equipment and be easily accessible.
3.9"
31.5"
31.5"
A small amount of ozone is produced within the printer 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.

1Handle and use the copier gently and carefully.
•Do not place anything on the paper drawers or the original feeding tray.
•Never allow the power cable to be trampled on or pinched between hard objects, otherwise an
accident or electrical trouble might occur.
•Do not allow any metal items such as paper clips to fall into the copier.
2Be sure to turn OFF the power switch (unless using the weekly timer mode):
•When you leave your office at night.
•If a power failure occurs.
Caution: When turning OFF the power switch, be sure to do so only after the machine cycling
has come to a complete stop.
Be sure to disconnect the power-cord plug:
•When you do not intend to use the copier for an extended period of time.
Be sure to turn OFF the power switch immediately and call for service:
•If an unusual noise is heard from the copier.
•If the outside of the copier becomes unusually hot.
•If any part of this copier is damaged, or if it has been dropped.
•If the copier has been exposed to rain or liquid.
3It is recommended that only supplies made or designated by Sharp be used for the
AR-651/810 in order to optimize copy quality. All supplies should be stored in a cool,
dry area.
For optimum performance, it is recommended that 20lb. Bond xerographic bond paper of high quality
be used. Paper of lower quality may contain inherent properties such as excess paper dust and may
lead to premature servicing.
WARNING:
1. Do not apply force or place heavy objects (8.82 lb. or more) on the original glass. Breaking the
glass may cause personal injury.
2. Do not place heavy objects on the copier. They may fall and injure you.
3. Do not lean on, apply force or place heavy objects on the finisher (optional). Personal injury or
property damage may result.
4. Do not place some objects or step on the external LCF (Large Capacity Feeder)(optional).
They may fall and injure you.
