GENUINE SUPPLIES

Photoconductive drum

The AR-280/AR-285/AR-335 Copiers have advanced process control
technology which improves copy quality uniformity. This feature
stabilizes copy quality throughout the life of the photoconductive
drum by automatically compensating for the changes in drum
characteristics due to wear, operator use patterns, and environmental
conditions. The automatic adjustments are made in response to a
sensor that detects the reflectance characteristics of the drum.

SUPPLIES Storage of supplies

WARNING

This feature requires drums containing the special reflectance area
(recommended Sharp genuine photoconductive drum), to prevent
low image density copies from poor process control and possible
damage to the machine. If you use other drums, the process control
system cannot run properly.

Proper storage

Store the supplies in a location that is:

1

●

clean and dry,

●

at a stable temperature,

●

not exposed to direct sunlight.

Store copy paper in the wrapper and lying flat.

2

●

Paper stored in packages standing up or out of the wrapper may
curl or become damp, resulting in paper misfeeds.

The copier has two different finisher modes: one sorts copies into
sets matching the sequence of the originals and the second groups
copies by original. When the optional finisher (AR-FN1) is installed,
the copier can automatically staple the sorted copies. Each collated
set of copies or group of copies can be stacked offset from the
previous set.
