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. Make sure that the outlet is properly
grounded.
●For the power supply requirements, see the
name plate on the main unit.
3. Do not install the machine in areas that are:
●damp, humid, or 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 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.

INTRODUCTION
This product is a high speed Digital full colour printer. Optional peripheral devices are available for the product that
expand its capabilities to meet a wide range of needs.
This manual contains general information on using the machine, including installation requirements, safety
information, and procedures for loading paper, replacing the toner cartridge, and removing misfeeds. For information
on printing from a computer connected to the machine and installing the printer driver, please see the additional
manuals that are provided with the machine.
Paper sizes
This machine allows use of standard sizes in both the AB and inch systems.
These are shown in the tables below.
The meaning of "R" in paper size indications in manuals
Some 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 A4R, B5R, 8-1/2"
x 11"R, 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R, etc. Sizes that can be placed only in the landscape orientation ( A3, B4, 11" x 17", 8-1/2"
x 14", 8-1/2" x 13") do not contain the "R" in their size indication.

MAIN FEATURES
1Brilliant full colour printing based on digital image processing
Prints high-resolution 600 dpi images in brilliant full colour at a blazing speed of 26 pages per minute (A4 or letter
size). Black and white printing is even faster at 32 pages per minute* (A4 or letter size).
* When the same document is printed repeatedly without using the offset function.
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.
3Standard offset function makes it easy to distinguish between sets of prints
As sets of prints are delivered to the centre tray, each set is offset from the previous set for easy separation.
4PostScript compatible
Installation of an optional PS3 expansion kit (AR-PK4) gives PostScript compatibility (PostScript 3).
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 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.
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 message display. 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 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.
Either mode will also be deactivated by any key operation on the operation panel.
As an ENERGY STAR®
Partner, SHARP has
determined that this product
meets the ENERGY
STAR®guidelines for
energy efficiency.

■Face-up and face-down output
After printing, the paper is delivered to the exit tray. This product has two exit trays (centre tray and left tray). The
paper specifications (page 6-3) and output conditions differ for each tray; however, if the paper and output
conditions are such that the paper can be delivered to either tray, you can select the tray to which the paper will
go.
●Paper exits to the centre tray face-down only.
●Paper exits to the left tray face-up only. However, if a duplex bypass/inverter unit has been installed,
face-down output is also possible. In this case, face-up or face-down output is automatically selected
according to the paper and output conditions (it is not possible to manually select face-up or face-down.)

LOADING PAPER
The message "ADD PAPER" or "ADD PAPER ONTO BYPASS TRAY" will appear when paper runs out during operation.
Follow the procedure below to load paper.
Tray numbers
The trays are named by number: tray 1, tray 2, tray 3, tray 4, and tray 5. The trays are described in the following table.
Loading paper in paper tray 1
1Pull out paper tray 1.
Gently pull the tray out
until it stops.
2Load paper in the tray.
Load a stack of paper no
higher than the indicator
line (about 500 sheets of
the recommended paper
for colour (80 g/m2or 20
lbs.), or approximately
500 sheets of SHARP
standard paper (80 g/m2
or 20 lbs.)).
3Gently push tray 1 into the machine.
Push the tray firmly all the way into the machine.
4Set the paper type.
If you loaded a different type of paper than the
previous paper, be sure to set the new paper type
as explained in "Setting the paper type" (page
2-12).
5This completes the procedure for loading
paper in paper tray 1.
NOTES
●Do not use curled or folded paper. Doing so may cause a misfeed.
●For best results use paper supplied by SHARP. (See pages 2-10, 2-22.)
●When you change the paper type and size in paper tray 1, you must change the paper type and size settings.
(see pages 2-3, 2-11 to 2-13)
●Do not place heavy objects or press hard on any tray which is pulled out.
