ADDING TONER

The message “(TONER SUPPLY IS LOW. PRESS FOR GUIDANCE.)” will appear in the message display before the toner

PRESS FOR GUIDANCE.” indicating that the toner supply is empty. Toner can be added any time after the message “(TONER SUPPLY IS LOW. PRESS FOR GUIDANCE.)” appears. To add toner, stop the copier and proceed as below. When either message appears, you can use the INFORMATION ( ) key for detailed information as necessary. During long copy runs of multiple originals containing many images and/or dark shades, “TONER REPLENISHMENT IN PROGRESS.” will appear and the copier will stop making copies even though toner is left. The copier will automatically cycle and replenish the toner to the normal level and then the START ( ) key indicator will light up. Press the START ( ) key to resume copying.

For best copying results, be sure to use only Sharp products. The package of Sharp toner has the Genuine Supplies label.

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:

●

clean and dry,

●

at a stable temperature,

●

not exposed to direct sunlight.

Store copy paper in the wrapper and lying flat.

●

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