INTRODUCTION

The AR-287, AR-337 and AR-407 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. If this copier is connected with another copier of the same model
equipped with the same options through the tandem-connection cable (AR­CA1), copying can be performed using the two copiers allowing copying to be
twice as fast as copying on one copier when makig multiple copies (tandem
copying). Also, the JOB BUILD mode allows copies to be made of multipage
documents of up to 120 pages (the limit, however, might be up to 60 pages of 8-1/2"
x 14" or 11" x 17" paper size when the copier is equipped with some option) by
dividing the document into sections small enough (50 pages or less) and
sequentially feeding through the document feeder. The digital processing
system of the copiers 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 machine 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-to­understand operation panel with touch panel system and INFORMATION
function will guide the user through most operations. In order to gain the
maximum benefit of all the features of the copiers, it is recommended that users
first read this manual to become familiar with all the features of the copiers.

NOTE:

●

The tandem copying function is not available for the AR-287.

●

This manual describes only copier features. For a description of optional
printer features and scanner features, see the separate relevant manual.

●

The illustrations in this manual are mainly drawn for the AR-407.

USING THIS MANUAL

This manual is intended as an operation guide for both general users and key
operators.

For General Users

It is recommended that you read the GETTING STARTED, MAKING COPIES,
and SPECIAL FUNCTIONS sections to become familiar with the available
features and functions of your copier. Then refer to the manual as needed to
become thoroughly familiar with those features you will normally use.

For Key Operators

Please read all sections thoroughly to become familiar with all features and
functions of your copier. Throughout the manual, information which is relevant
to key operator functions is noted by “★ KEY OPERATOR.” Please pay close
attention to these notes and to the SUPPLIES, COPIER TROUBLE?, GENERAL
INFORMATION, and OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT sections so you can ensure
smooth and efficient operation of your machine.
A separate KEY OPERATOR’S GUIDE has been written especially for you. It
contains the programs and programming information that will enable you to tailor
functions for maximum benefit to your company.

GETTING STARTED Installation requirements

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

To ensure safety and proper machine performance, please note the following
before initial installation and whenever the machine is to be relocated.

1. The copier 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.
Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.

3. Do not install the machine where it is:

●

damp or humid,

●

exposed to direct sunlight,

●

extremely dusty,

●

poorly ventilated,

●

subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes (e.g., near an air
conditioner or heater).

4. Since a hard disk drive is built into this copier, place the copier on a firm,
level surface. Choose an area which is not subject to any vibration.

5. Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing and
proper ventilation.

A small amount of ozone is produced within the copier 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.

1-2

CAUTIONS

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.

CHAPTER1

GETTING STARTED Cautions

Fusing unit

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/500­sheet 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.

6. When copying is interrupted (for example, because the

INTERRUPT function has been used, paper or toner has run out,
a misfeed has occurred, etc.), this copier will store the image
data of the originals read prior to the interruption. If copying of
secret documents is interrupted due to the above reasons, be
sure to either resume the interrupted copying by pressing the
START key, or clear the image data by pressing the CLEAR ALL
key after the interrupt copying is completed or the trouble is
cleared, because the stored data may be printed by other
operators.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This Digital Copier is rated Class 1 and complies with 21 CFR

1040.10 and 1040.11 of the CDRH standards. This means that
the copier does not produce hazardous laser radiation. For your
safety, observe the precautions below.

●

Do not remove the cabinet, operation panel or any other
covers.

●

The copier’s exterior covers contain several safety interlock
switches. Do not bypass any safety interlock by inserting
wedges or other items into switch slots.

POWER ON AND OFF

Power on

Power off

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 for the AR-287/337 and about 75 seconds
for the AR-407. 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.

CHAPTER1

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. It is suggested that you set appropriate times according
to the actual usage of the copier.

1-5

POWER ON AND OFF

CHAPTER

1

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 21 of the KEY OPERATOR’S GUIDE for

setting the auto power shut-off timer. See page 27 of the KEY
OPERATOR’S GUIDE 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 22 of the KEY OPERATOR’S GUIDE for

information on setting the preheat mode.

USING THE RADF

The RADF (reversing automatic document feeder) will
handle multiple originals.

●

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 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 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 8-1/2" x 11" is
performed, the image will not be rotated.

●

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

●

The RADF can handle a maximum of 50 originals of
5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 8-1/2" x 11" sizes and 30 originals
of 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.

CHAPTER2

MAKING COPIES Using the RADF

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 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.

MAKING COPIES Exposure adjustments

Automatic

This is the standard initial setting for this copier. In this mode, the
characteristics of an original being copied are “read” by the exposure
system, and exposure adjustments are made automatically.
This optimizes the contrast of the copied images by reducing the effect
of colored or shaded background areas.

Text, text/photo, and photo

Text mode: This mode is useful in enhancing very low density

areas of an original or in suppressing unusually
high-density background areas.

Text/photo mode: This mode provides the best balance for copying

an original which contains both text and photos.
This mode is also useful for copying printed
photographs.

Photo mode: This mode provides the best copies of photographs

with fine details.

Press the “EXPOSURE” key on the touch panel.

If this copier is connected with another copier of the same model equipped
with the same options through the tandem-connection cable (AR-CA1),
copying with the two machines can be performed eventually making the
total copy time for multiple copies one-half of the case when using a single
copier.

●

A dedicated tandem-connection cable AR-CA1 is required for tandem

copying.

●

The tandem copying can be used only in the sort mode or staple sort

mode. The group mode cannot be selected.

●

The transparency inserts function cannot be used with this function

because the number of copies must be 1 when the transparency inserts

function is used.

●

CHAPTER3

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS Tandem copy

copier) the other will then become the sub copier.

The setting procedure is described below.

●

INTERRUPT will not function during tandem copying.

●

The tandem copying function is not available for the AR-287.

Ensure that the two copiers are connected through the
tandem-connection cable and they have been turned

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS Tandem copy

Ensure that paper of the same size selected in the main
copier is installed in the sub copier.

7

●

Paper of the same size and same orientation must be installed
in the two copiers. Even if the image of the original is rotated to

●

Images scanned by the main copier will be stored in both copiers.
Half the number of copies selected will be made simultaneously
on both copiers. When the number of copies selected is odd, one
more copy will be made on the main copier than the sub copier.

●

If the message “CHECK THE SUB MACHINE.” appears on the
main machine, an error has occurred in the sub machine. Check
the message on the sub machine and clear the error.

●

If the message “THE SYSTEM IS NOT CONFIGURED TO
PERFORM TANDEM JOB. CODE: XX” appears on the main

machine, refer to the tandem copy related descriptions in the
TROUBLESHOOTING (see page 5-13).

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
finishers (AR-FN1N, AR-FN2).

Photoconductive drum

The AR-287/AR-337/AR-407 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 Genuine Supplies which are
designed, engineered, and tested to
maximize the life and performance of
Sharp copiers. Look for the Genuine
Supplies label on the toner package.

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.
