STORAGE OF SUPPLIES
The supplies of this copier replaced by the user include copy paper,
toner, toner collecting container, and staple cartridges for the optional
finisher (AR-FN1N, AR-FN2).
Photoconductive drum
The AR-281/AR-286/AR-336 Copiers have advanced process control
technology which improves copy quality uniformity. This feature
CHAPTER4
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.
For best copying results, be sure to use
only Sharp products. The package of
Sharp toner has the Genuine Supplies
label.
GENUINE SUPPLIES
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.
