The set value is received from the digital copier, and data are made
according to the set value.
Left margin
∗
Since the paper size sensor is not set, the digital copier cannot recognize the size and direction of paper which is actually inserted.
Therefore, the left margin is set according to the paper size specified in
the print data sent from the computer, and print process is performed. If
the computer does not specify the paper size, or in the case of the custom size, the left margin is set according to the default paper size.
F. Pri n t re f ere n ce
This machine employs the center reference system.
Since the digital copier is not provided with the tray size detection feature, formatting and center distribution are performed not by the actual
paper size but by the paper size specified by the computer.

4. Software installation
A. Before installing
To use this printer with your computer, you must install a printer driver.
A printer driver is software designed to convert print data from any
application into data understandable by the printer so that the printer
can quickly and efficiently print out the data.
Install the printer driver using the supplied SHARP PRINTER UTILITIES CD-ROM. For installation using the installer in the CD-ROM, see
the document "USING THE DIGITAL COPYING MACHINE AS A
PRINTER".
* It is recommended that you use the PCL6 printer driver. If you have a
problem printing from older software using the PCL6 driver, use the
PCL5e driver.
* You can use the PostScript Level 3 printer driver if you have installed
the PS3 expansion kit (AR-PK1) that is optional for some models.
(1) CD-ROM contains
Also the CD-ROM includes the following utilities and fonts.
• Printer Status Monitor: Utility for monitoring the status of a printer in
network environment
• Printer Administration Utility: Utility for monitoring and adjusting the
settings of printers in network environment
• Resident font information for PPD: Residents font information used
with the PPD driver for Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me
• Display font: Fonts to be displayed on the computer screen to check
the print image on the screen
(2) System requirements
The following hardware and software is required in order to install the
printer drivers.
• IBM PC/AT or compatible computer equipped with a bi-directional
parallel interface or a network interface
• Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 is installed. (Hardware requirements such as CPU and
RAM for your operating system must be satisfied.)
B. Driver installation
If you use Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me or Windows 2000
and you connect the printer to your computer with parallel interface, a
printer driver can be installed with the Plug and Play feature.
* The Plug and Play feature is effective if both the computer and
peripheral equipment are equipped with IEEE 1284 compliant parallel interface.
AR-P11 INSTALLATION - 2
(1) Installation with Plug & Play
1) Ensure that the printer cable is connected between your computer
and the printer and then turn on the printer.
Note:
Before installing the printer driver, be sure to close all other open
applications.
2) Follow the on-screen instructions.
To specify the printer driver path, see the table below.
To enter the printer name, use the following name.
"SHARP" + printer model name + printer driver
Example: SHARP AR-235 PCL6
(2) Installation with Add Printer wizard
If you use the Add Printer wizard to install a printer driver, follow the
standard procedure of your operating system.
An example of installation is described below for Windows 98.
1) On the Start menu, highlight "Settings", then highlight and click on
"Printers".
2) Insert a PRINTER UTILITIES CD-ROM into a CD-ROM drive.
If your computer is configured for auto start, the license agreement
will be displayed. Click the "Cancel" button.
3) From the Printers window, select "Add Printer" to run the Add
Printer Wizard. Then click "Next".
4) If Windows 98 has been configured for network operation, it might
be necessary to select "Local printer" or "Network printer". Select
the appropriate option, and click "Next" to continue.
5) If "Network printer" was selected, specify the appropriate Network
Path or Queue Name and click "Next".
6) The installation window will display a list of printer models and
manufacturers. Click the "Have Disk" button.
7) Follow the on-screen instructions.
To specify the printer driver path, see the table below.
To enter the printer name, use the following name.
"SHARP" + printer model name + printer driver

C. Installing the resident font information for PPD
(Windows 95/98/Me)
If you have installed the PPD printer driver for Windows 95/ Windows
98/ Windows Me, install the resident font information following the procedure below.
Note:
• Before installing the resident font information, be sure to install the
printer driver.
• When installing the resident font information, be sure to close all
other open applications.
• If you have changed the port for the printer from Properties of the
printer driver when the printer is used as a network printer, reinstall
the resident font information.
• If printer resident fonts cannot be specified from application software, the resident font information has not been installed or the
information is not proper. In this case, reinstall the resident font information.
• With the PPD driver for Windows NT 4.0, the printer resident fonts
cannot be specified. Font downloading, therefore, is always performed when printing is executed. To use the printer resident fonts
under Windows NT 4.0, install the PS, PCL5e or PCL6 driver. For
Windows 2000, the resident font information is automatically
installed with the printer driver.
(1) Installation procedure
1) Start Windows.
2) Insert the supplied PRINTER UTILITIES CD-ROM into a CD-ROM
drive.
If your computer is configured for auto start, the license agreement
will be displayed. Click the "Cancel" button.
3) On the "Start" menu, click "Run".
4) Enter the CD-ROM drive and "packages\english\psppd9x\Pfm-
setup. exe". Then click the "OK" button.
Example: If the CD-ROM drive is designated as drive R, type
"R:\packages\english\psppd9x\Pfmsetup. exe" and click "OK".
5) Click the "OK" button.
If the printer driver has not been installed, installation of the resident font information will not be performed.
6) Click the "OK" button.
7) After the resident font information has been installed, restart Win-
dows.
D. Uninstalling unnecessary software
To uninstall a printer driver or a printer utility that has been
installed using the installer, follow the procedure shown below.
1) On the "Start" menu, highlight "Settings", then highlight and click
on "Control Panel".
2) Double-click "Add/ Remove Programs".
3) Select the driver or utility to be deleted and click "Add/ Remove".
4) Click "Yes".
To delete a printer driver that has been installed using the Plug
and Play feature or from the Add Printer wizard, follow the procedure shown below.
1) On the "Start" menu, highlight "Settings", then highlight and click
on "Printers".
2) Right-click the printer driver to be deleted.
3) Click "Delete" and then follow the instructions on your screen.

done or not. This function
improves the appearance of
printed documents by
smoothing the angles and
curves of images. This
allows printing at a higher
apparent resolution. For

to 600dpi, resolution
equivalent to 1200dpi can
be achieved. When printing
bit- mapped images, you
may need to select "Off" to
achieve best results.
Sets whether toner save
mode is in effect or not.

With the above procedures, the printer control board program download is completed.
NOTE:
When upgrading the version of the PCL board with NIC installed, it
may take about 30 sec to display "Please Send Data" in the above step
6).
This is because initialization of the NIC is not completed until the
DHCP server has completed retrieval and the IP address has been
acquired (or 30 sec time-out). To avoid this, perform either of the following measures and complete the above step.
Measures to avoid:
• Remove the NIC.
• Turn off DHCP of the NIC.
• Connect to a network with a DHCP server in it.
