INTRODUCTION

The AR-280, AR-285 and AR-335 copiers are digital image processing copiers which provide high productivity and convenient features including intelligent image-editing functions. Amongst their many useful features and functions are the document feeder*, various special functions such as dual page copying, margin shift, erase, XY zoom, and black and white reverse functions, photo copying, and an internal auditor. The digital processing system of the copier allows multiple sets of copies to be sorted without the aid of a sorter. These copiers can be equipped with an optional large capacity tray which holds 3,000 sheets of copy paper. The machines can also be equipped with an optional finisher to provide finished copy sets ready for distribution. These copiers were also designed with ease of use in mind. The easy-to-understand operation panel with touch panel system and INFORMATION function will guide the user through most operations. However, to gain the maximum benefit of all the features of the copier, it is recommended that users first read this manual to become familiar with all the features of the copier. * The AR-280 is equipped with a single pass feeder (SPF) and the AR-285 and AR-335 are equipped with a

reversing automatic document feeder (RADF).

CAUTIONS

CHAPTER

1. Do not touch the photoconductive drum. Scratches or smudges on the drum will cause dirty copies.

2. The fusing unit is extremely hot. Exercise care in this area.

3. Since a hard disk drive is built into the copier, be sure to turn the

power switch to the “OFF” position when moving the copier. Take care not to subject the copier to any vibration or shock.

4. Do not look directly at the light source. Doing so may damage your eyes.

5. Four installation adjusters are provided on the optional stand/500-sheet paper drawer. When moving the machine with the optional stand/ 500-sheet paper drawer, be sure to raise the installation adjusters. After moving the machine, lower the four installation adjusters until they reach the floor and lock the two casters at the front of the copier.

CHAPTER

The power switch is located on the left side of the copier. When the power switch is turned to the “ON” position, the message “WARMING UP. PLEASE WAIT.” will appear in the message display. Warming up takes about 65 seconds. Once the copier is ready, the message display will change to “READY TO COPY.”, and the START ( ) key indicator will light up, indicating that copying is possible. If the copier has been programmed in the auditing mode, the message “ENTER YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER. -----” will appear after warming up. Once a valid account number has been entered, copying will become possible.

GETTING STARTED Power on and off

Power save modes

The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption and thereby reduce the cost of operation and to conserve natural resources to help reduce environmental pollution. The two power save modes are preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode.

★ KEY OPERATOR

The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time have been preset at the factory to 15 min. for preheat mode and 60 min. for auto power shut-off mode. These times can be changed as described in the key operator’s guide section. It is suggested that you set appropriate times according to the actual usage of the copier.

1-5

POWER ON AND OFF

CHAPTER

GETTING STARTED Power on and off

Auto power shut-off mode

If the auto power shut-off mode is enabled, the copier will automatically turn off the power once a programmed length of time has elapsed without any copier operation after the last copy of a run is made or the power is first turned on. The power switch will automatically be turned to the “OFF” position. To turn the power back on, simply turn the power switch to the “ON” position.

★ KEY OPERATOR See page 8-21 for setting the auto power shut-off

timer. See page 8-26 for enabling or disabling the auto power shut-off mode.

Preheat mode

The copier will enter the mode once the set time has elapsed without any copier operation after the last copy of a run is made or power is turned on. When the copier enters the preheat mode, the message “PREHEAT MODE. PLACE ORIGINALS.” will appear. In this condition, the fuser in the copier is maintained at a lower heat level thereby saving power. The preheat level is, however, high enough to allow the copier to come to a ready condition or begin copying approximately 30 seconds after any key input is made. To copy from the preheat mode, make desired copier selections and press the START ( ) key using the normal copying procedure.

★ KEY OPERATOR See page 8-22 for information on setting the preheat

mode.

★ KEY OPERATOR See page 8-13 for account number

security.

USING THE SPF/RADF

●

The SPF* (single pass feeder) and the RADF* (reversing automatic document feeder) will handle multiple originals. * The SPF is installed to the AR-280 and the RADF is

installed to the AR-285 and AR-335.

●

Before loading originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips from them.

●

Damaged or crumpled originals or originals which have been folded may misfeed in the SPF/RADF or cause incorrect size detection. It is recommended that these be copied from the document glass and the copies be used as original documents.

●

When feeding originals which have closely spaced binding holes punched along an edge, place the originals so that the punched edge is positioned to the right or along the side guides.

●

Special originals such as transparency film and tracing paper should not be fed from the SPF/RADF, but should be placed on the document glass.

Duplex copying will not work when a non-standard sized paper (or 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" paper) is used.

●

If the orientation of the originals does not match that of the copy paper when both the originals and copy paper are of standard sizes and the auto paper select mode or automatic copy ratio select mode is on, the image of the originals will be automatically rotated to match the copy paper. However, if enlargement copying onto a paper size larger than A4 (8-1/2" x 11") is performed, the image will not be rotated.

●

Image loss (max. 5mm (13/64")) can occur along the leading and trailing edges of the copies. Also image loss (max. 5mm (13/64") in total) can occur along the other edges of the copies.

CHAPTER

MAKING COPIES Using the SPF/RADF

Notes on the SPF (AR-280)

●

The SPF can handle a maximum of 30 originals of A5 to A4 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 8-1/2" x 11") sizes and 15 originals of B4 to A3 (8-1/2" x 14" to 11" x 17") sizes.

●

2-sided to 1-sided copying and 2-sided to 2-sided copying cannot be performed in this model.

●

The originals must be set face down in the document feeder tray.

●

Do not place different size originals in the document feeder tray. Doing so may cause copying onto different sizes or original misfeeds.

Stream feeding mode

If the stream feeding mode has been enabled using a key operator program, the message “NEWLY PLACED ORIGINALS WILL BE FED AND COPIED AUTOMATICALLY.” will appear and the original feed indicator (AR-285/AR-335 only) will continue to blink for approximately 5 seconds after feeding of all originals is completed. While this message is displayed, any new originals placed in the document feeder tray will be fed and copied automatically.

Notes on the RADF (AR-285 and AR-335)

●

The RADF can handle a maximum of 50 originals of A5 to A4 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 8-1/2" x 11") sizes and 30 originals of B4 to A3 (8-1/2" x 14" to 11" x 17") sizes.

●

2-sided to 1-sided copying and 2-sided to 2-sided copying can be performed in these models.

●

The originals must be set face up in the document feeder tray.

●

Different size originals with the same width can be placed in the document feeder tray and automatically copied onto copy paper of their respective sizes. The automatic copy ratio selection will not function in this case.

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.

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.
