Automated Job Finishing

The AR-C170M makes it easy to create

professional-looking booklets. Working together with the highly productive stackless duplex module, the optional Saddle Stitch Finisher folds and staples sets of documents to make completed booklets. A Punch Module allows you to punch holes in documents for easy filing. A 20-bin

sorter is also available for jobs that require only simple sorting.

A Variety of Job Finishing

Efficient Electronic Sorting Function

The AR-C170M saves each page of a document into internal memory and then automatically outputs collated sets of copies or printouts in the proper page order. Each set is offset stacked for easier separation. Up to 999 copies can be made directly from memory. This highly productive process is indispensable for high-

Cop

volume jobs.

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

2003

2002

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 printing; its short, straight paper

path minimises misfeeds to save you paper and toner costs.

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.
