1. Output Stacker, face down Standard printed copy delivery point.

Holds up to 250 sheets of 20-lb. (75 g/m²) paper.

2. Operator Panel Menu driven operator controls and LCD display panel

3. Paper Tray Standard paper tray.

Holds up to 300 sheets of 20-lb. (75 g/m²) paper.

4. Multi-Purpose Tray Used for feeding transparencies, heavier paper stocks,

envelopes and other special media.

Also for manual feeding of single sheets when required.

3. USB Interface

4. Network Interface

5. Duplex Unit

6. Rear Stacker (face up)

Capacity 100 sheets

When the rear paper stacker is folded down, paper exits the printer through the rear of the printer and is stacked face up.

This is used for labels, heavy print media, envelopes and custom paper sizes.

When used with the Multi-Purpose Tray, the paper path through the printer is essentially straight. This avoids bending the print media around curves in the paper path and makes paper feeding more reliable.

Paper (Print Media)

General Information _____________________

CAUTION!

Print media must be able to withstand 446°F (230°C) for 0.2 second.

You need to know three characteristics about any paper (print media) you want to use with your printer:

• Type

• Weight

• Size

The type, weight, and size of the paper (print media) determine:

• which paper feed tray can be used

Choices are multipurpose tray (MP Tray/manual feed) or Trays 1 - 2

• which paper exit path can be used

Choices are face-down or face-up (straight-through)

• whether you can use double sided (duplex) printing

For type, see

• Paper: US Bond (Metric): see page 18

• Paper: Index: see page 20

• Letterhead: see page 22

• Envelopes: see page 26

• Transparencies: see page 31

• Labels: see page 29

For weight, refer to the correct paper type. Each paper type has a table (matrix) of paper size, paper weight, paper feed, paper exit, simplex/duplex correlations.

For general information on paper sizes, see “Paper Size, Feed, and Exit” on page 37.

Driver Settings ____________________

General Information

Select the thickness/type of media on which you are printing a particular job, to produce optimum print results. This setting overrides the setting in the printer menu.

If you are printing on a thick media such as card stock, be sure to select one of the thicker settings (Heavy, Ultra Heavy, Labels1, Labels 2) to get proper fusion of the toner to the page and to prevent possible damage to the printer.

If the Ultra Heavy setting does not give proper toner fusion, you can try the Label settings.

The default printer menu setting is Medium.

Choices are: Printer Setting, Light, Medium, Heavy, Ultra Heavy, Labels1, Labels2, Transparency, Glossy, User Type 1, User Type 2, User Type 3, User Type 4, and User Type 5.

Face up / Straight through / Rear Exit

If you are using heavy media, transparencies, envelopes or labels, use the face up (straight through) paper feed path.

For face up printing (straight-through path), make sure the rear exit is open and the paper support is extended.

• Paper is stacked in reverse order.

• Tray capacity is about 100 sheets. Actual capacity

depends on paper weight.

Paper, US Bond____________________

General Information

NOTE

To determine if a paper weight is US Bond or Index, check the metric equivalent.

35 lb US Bond = 132 g/m 35 lb Index = 64 g/m

For more information, go to www.paper-paper.com/ weight.html

The size, weight, and type of the paper (print media) determine:

• which paper feed tray can be used

• which paper exit path can be used

• whether you can use double sided (duplex) printing

Single sided printing is also known as simplex printing.

These settings can be made in the printer menu or in the printer driver.

Application settings override driver settings.

Driver settings override printer menu settings.

The best performance is obtained when using paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers. Suitable types include:

• Hammermill

Laser Printer Radiant White, 24 lb. US

Bond (90 g/m²)

• Xerox

4024, 20 lb.US Bond (75 g/m²)

When using heavily laid or textured paper

• the life of the image drum is seriously shortened

• print quality may deteriorate

• change the media setting to ‘Ultra Heavy’.

This will improve print quality.

When using ‘Ultra Heavy’:

• print speed slows

• duplexing cannot be used.

If the Ultra Heavy setting does not give proper toner

fusion, you can try the Label settings.

Sharp AR-C265P User’s Guide

Recommendations

CAUTION

Print media must be able to withstand 446°F (230°C) for 0.2 second.

Only use letterhead designed for color laser printers and photocopiers.

Don’t use very smooth, shiny or glossy paper.

Don’t use heavily embossed headed paper, very rough paper or paper that has a large grain difference between the two sides.

• Check www.sharpusa.com for the latest information on recommended papers for your printer.

• Paper should be stored flat, away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat sources.

• The use of heavily laid or textured paper will seriously affect the life of the image drum and give poor print quality. Print quality can be improved by

changing the media setting to ‘Ultra Heavy.’ However, this will reduce the output speed and prevent the use of the duplex option.

If the Ultra Heavy setting does not give proper toner fusion, you can try the Label settings.

• Avoid:

– Damp, damaged or curled paper.

– Very smooth, shiny or glossy paper.

– Heavily embossed letterhead paper, very rough paper or

paper that has a large grain difference between the two sides.

– Paper with perforations, cut-outs or ragged edges.

– Carbon paper, recycled paper, NCR paper,

photosensitive paper, pressure sensitive paper or thermal transfer paper.
