Copying speed is 15 copies/min. (AR-5015 N) or 20 copies/min. (AR-5020), which adapts to business use, allowing
improvement of working efficiency.
High-quality digital image
●
High-quality copying at 600 dpi is performed.
●
In addition to the automatic exposure mode, the manual exposure can be adjusted in five steps.
●
The photo mode copying function allows clear copying of delicate halftone original images such as monochrome
photos and colour photos. Photo mode is adjustable in five steps.
Substantial copying features
●
Zoom copying from 50% to 200% in 1% increments can be performed.
●
Continuous copying of maximum 99 sheets can also be performed.
●
Useful special features such as the XY zoom, black and white reverse, and dual page copy are available.
●
User programs allow setting/modification of functions for customer needs. Also the user programs allow the internal

GETTING STARTED
Main features
Scan once/ Print many (AR-5020 only)
●
The copier is equipped with a 1-page memory buffer. This memory allows the copier to scan an original 1 time only

COPIER INSTALLATION
GETTING STARTED
Improper installation may damage the copier. Please note the following
during initial installation and whenever the copier is moved.
If the copier is moved from a cool place to a warm place, condensation may form inside the copier.
Operation in this condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave the copier at room
temperature for at least 2 hours before use.
Copier installation
Do not install your copier in areas that are:
●
damp, humid, or very dusty
●
exposed to direct sunlight
●
poorly ventilated
●
subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an
air conditioner or heater.
The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet
for easy connection.
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.
●
For this copier’s power supply requirements, see the name plate located
on the back of the unit.
Connect the copier to a power outlet which is not used
for other electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is
connected to the same outlet, the light may flicker.
Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for
servicing and proper ventilation.

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING
Be careful in handling the copier as follows to maintain the performance of
this copier.
Do not drop the copier, subject it to shock or strike it against any
object.
Store spare toner cartridges in a cool dry place without removing
from the package before use.
If they are exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat, poor copies
may result.
GETTING STARTED
Cautions on handling
Do not touch the photoconductive drum (green portion).
Scratches or smudges on the drum will cause dirty copies.

LOADING COPY PAPER
Maximum height line
GETTING STARTED
To save space, this copier has been designed with an adjustable front-loading
tray, which is easily opened for paper loading. For best results, use only
SHARP recommended paper. (See page 49.)
The paper required () indicator will light up when there is no copy paper
in the selected paper feed station, or when the paper tray is not installed or
is improperly installed.
When the paper size is changed in the paper tray, the
Loading copy paper
size of the paper must be entered by steps 8 through 10

POWER SAVE MODES
The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption
thereby reduce the cost of operation. In addition, these modes conserve
natural resources and help reduce environmental pollution. The two power
save modes are preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode.
●
User programs
The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time have been
preset at the factory to 90 sec. for preheat mode and 30 min. for auto power
shut-off mode. These times can be changed using user programs. It is
suggested that you set appropriate times according to the actual usage of
the copier. See page 35.
Preheat mode
When the copier enters the preheat mode, the POWER SAVE (
will light up and other indicators will remain on or off as before. 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 within 10 seconds after any
key input or copier operation such as paper tray operation is performed.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Power save modes
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.

POWER SAVE MODES
Setting the power save modes
The time that elapses before the copier enters a power save mode after any

2 for the preheat mode and user program No. 3 for the auto power shut-off
mode. For these settings, see page 36.

The copier will enter the preheat mode first and then the auto power

Using the SPF
SINGLE PASS FEEDER (AR-SP2)
●
Be sure to remove any staples or paper clips from the
originals.
●
Damaged or crumpled originals may misfeed in the SPF.
It is recommended that these originals be copied from the
original table.
●
Before placing curled or wavy originals into the document
feeder tray, be sure to flatten them. If not, original misfeeds
may result.
●
For best feeding of originals which have binding holes
punched into them, insert them so that the holes are
positioned to the right or along the side guides.
●
Special originals such as transparency film and tracing
paper should not be fed through the SPF but should be
copied from the original table.
Stream feeding mode
If the stream feeding mode has been enabled using user program
No. 4, the SPF indicator will continue to blink for approximately
5 seconds after feeding of all originals is completed. While this
indicator is blinking, any new originals placed in the SPF will be
fed and copied automatically. See page 35, USER PROGRAMS.
Ensure that no original is left on the original table.

Adjust the original guides to the size of the originals.
2
Set the originals face up in the document feeder tray.

The SPF indicator will light up. If this indicator does not light up, the

The AR-5020 copier is equipped with a 1-page memory buffer. The
number of copies can be specified.
While making copies from the SPF, do not place
originals of the next copying job. Place them after all
copies of the current job have been output.
