Efficient Electronic Sorting Function
The AR-C170M saves each page of a document into internal

easier separation. Up to 999 copies can be made directly from
memory. This highly productive process is indispensable for high-

Note: When copying, only B/W documents can be electronically sorted.
Superb Image Quality
The AR-C170M’s high 600 dpi scan/print resolution ensures
that the details of your original document, including fine

text, charts and even photographs, come out clear and
legible. Employing a write head with Sharp’s original 4-bit image processing LED, the AR-C170M can produce 16 colour gradation
patterns on a single pixel. Working with a dither matrix process, it
achieves superb colour fidelity equivalent to 256 gradations per
CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) colour, delivering beautiful
printouts and copies with impressive colour detail.

New Oil-Less Toner
Sharp’s newly developed oil-less
toner produces vivid, natural-
looking colour documents
without leaving a glossy coating
on the paper’s surface. You can
easily write messages or paste sticky notes on copies and printouts
even if they contain many colour photos.
Super-Efficient Colour and B/W Output
The tandem printing engine with four in-line
drums helps the AR-C170M deliver a fast
output of 17 cpm/ppm in full colour and 26 cpm/ppm in B/W.
And the first copy comes out in
just 11.7 seconds in full colour and
8.0 seconds in B/W. But speed is
just one of the benefits of tandem

Convenient RSPF
With the standard-equipped
reversing single pass feeder
(RSPF), the AR-C170M can
automatically feed in a stack of up
to 40 single- or two-sided
originals, eliminating the tedious
task of placing and turning over
each page by hand.
Duplex Copying/Printing
The AR-C170M can make two-sided copies
and printouts when equipped with the
optional duplex module and duplex
bypass/inverter unit, effectively reducing
paper costs as well as saving filing space.
Auto duplexing is available for paper weights

up to 200 g/m
. This allows you, for
example, to create impressive company
brochures and business proposals by using
thick paper for the cover.
Large Paper Capacity
For high-volume work,
the AR-C170M can
accommodate an
optional 3,500-sheet
large-capacity tray and
stand with 3 x 500sheet paper drawers for
a total capacity of 5,750 sheets, helping to minimise the risk of
running out of paper in the middle of a printing job.

Duplex Transmission and Reception
With the RSPF, the AR-C170M scans both pages of two-sided
documents and sorts them in memory. The pages are then
transmitted in the proper order. Thanks to the optional duplex
module, the AR-C170M can also print incoming faxes onto both
sides of paper, thus saving you paper costs.
Multi Access Function
You get two different functions simultaneously; for example, you
can scan documents into memory for transmission while you
receive an incoming fax.
You can set the AR-C170M to this ultra-high resolution to give the
recipient crisp, clear reproduction of detailed images and fine text.
OTHER KEY FEATURES
• F-Code communication enables confidential communication,
relay request transmission and memory polling with fax
machines from other brands that conform to the ITU-T F-Code
(sub-address and pass code) standard
• Automatic Transmission Reduction automatically reduces the
size of the document being sent to fit the paper size of the
recipient machine
• Memory Transmission/Reception stores documents in
memory, allowing the originals to be returned to the user quickly
and saving incoming faxes in memory if the AR-C170M runs out
of paper or toner
• Timer Transmission enables unattended after-hours operation
when reduced phone rates are in effect
• Polling allows the user to retrieve a document left in the feeder
of a remote fax machine
• Long originals (up to 800 mm long) can be sent using the RSPF
• Broadcast Faxing to up to 100 destinations
• Programme keys (up to 8 keys) are available to set up
frequently used transmissions for instant recall
• Rotation Reception/Transmission rotates incoming or
outgoing faxes to match the direction of the printing paper size
• Divided Reception prints out long-length faxes onto separate
sheets of paper

address will be denied, preventing unauthorised use.
