2 hours before use.  
Caution  
Do not install your machine in areas that are:  
damp, humid, or very  
exposed to direct sunlight  
dusty  
poorly  
ventilated  
subject to extreme  
temperature or humidity  
changes, e.g., near an  
air conditioner or  
heater.  
3
The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection and  
disconnection.  
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.  
Connect the machine 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.  
Note  
Be sure to allow the required space around the machine  
for servicing and proper ventilation.

A small amount of ozone is produced within the machine during operation.  
The emission level is insufficient to cause any health hazard.  
Note:  
The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m3) calculated as an 8 hr. time-  
weighted average concentration.  
However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable odor, it is advisable to place the  
machine in a ventilated area.  
CAUTIONS ON HANDLING  
Be careful in handling the machine as follows to maintain the performance of this machine.  
Do not drop the machine, 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.  
Do not touch the photoconductive drum (green portion).  
• Scratches or smudges on the drum will cause dirty copies.  
Safety precautions:  
This Digital Copier is rated Class I and complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 of the CDRH standards. This  
means that the machine does not produce hazardous laser radiation. For your safety, observe the precautions  
below.  
• Do not remove the cabinet, operation panel or any other covers.  
• The machine’s exterior covers contain several safety interlock switches. Do not bypass any safety interlock by  
inserting wedges or other items into switch slots.

MAIN FEATURES  
High-speed laser copying  
• First-copy time*1 at 300 dpi*2 is only 7.2 seconds.  
• Copying speed is 20/16 copies per minute at 600 dpi, This is ideal for business use and provides a big boost to  
workplace productivity.  
1
*
First-Copy time may vary depending on the power-supply voltage, ambient temperature, and other operating conditions.  
"dpi" ("dots per inch") are units that are used to measure resolution. Resolution indicates how much detail can be  
reproduced in a printed or scanned image.  
2
*
High-quality digital image  
• High-quality copies are possible in normal mode at 300 dpi and in photo mode.  
• In addition to automatic exposure adjustment, two original modes can be selected: "TEXT" for text-only originals,  
and "PHOTO" for photographs. The exposure can be adjusted to five levels in each mode.  
• The photo mode copying function allows clear copying of delicate halftone original images such as monochrome  
photos and color photos.  
Enhanced copying features  
• Zoom copies can be made from 25% to 400% in 1% increments.  
(When the SPF/RSPF is being used, the zoom copy ratio range is 50% to 200%.)  
• Continuous copying of up to 999 copies is possible. (Can be changed to a maximum of 99 copies in the user  
programs.)  
• The user programs allow customized machine settings and management. Access to the machine can be  
controlled by enabling audit mode.

Power Save Modes  
The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption thereby  
reducing 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".  
Preheat mode  
This function automatically switches the machine to a low power consumption state if the set duration of time  
elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. The POWER SAVE indicator lights up, however, the  
keys on the operation panel can be used. Normal operation automatically resumes when a key on the operation  
panel is pressed, an original is placed, a print job is received, or scanning is begun from a computer.  
Auto power shut-off mode  
This function automatically switches the machine to a state that consumes even less power than preheat mode if the  
set duration of time elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. All lights except the POWER  
SAVE indicator and ON LINE indicator go off. To resume normal operation, press the [START] key (

Special papers  
Follow these guidelines when using special papers.  
Use SHARP recommended transparency film and label sheets. Using other than SHARP recommended  
paper may result in misfeeds or smudges on the output. If other than SHARP recommended media must  
be used, feed each sheet one at a time using the bypass tray (do not attempt continuous copying or  
printing).  
There are many varieties of special paper available on the market, and some cannot be used with this  
machine. Before using special paper, contact a SHARP service center.  
Before using other than SHARP recommended paper, make a test copy to see if the paper is suitable.

Important points when inserting paper in the bypass tray  
• Up to 100 sheets of standard copy paper can be set in the bypass tray.  
• Be sure to place 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" size paper or envelopes horizontally as shown in the following diagram (  
).  
• When loading envelopes, make sure that they are straight and flat and do not have loosely glued construction  
flaps (not the closure flap).  
• Special papers except SHARP recommended transparency film, labels, and envelopes must be fed one sheet at a  
time through the bypass tray.  
• When adding paper, first remove any paper remaining in the tray, combine it with the paper to be added and then  
reload as a single stack. The paper to be added must be the same size and type as the paper already in the tray.  
• Do not use paper that is smaller than the original. This may cause smudges or unclean images.  
• Do not use paper that has already been printed on by a laser printer or plain paper fax machine. This may cause  
smudges or unclean images.  
15  
BEFORE USING THE MACHINE  
Envelopes  
Do not use the following envelopes, as misfeeds will occur.  
• Envelopes with metal tabs, clasps, strings, holes, or windows.  
• Envelopes with rough fibers, carbon paper, or glossy surfaces.  
• Envelopes with two or more flaps.  
• Envelopes with tape, film, or paper attached to the flap.  
• Envelopes with a fold in the flap.  
• Envelopes with glue on the flap to be moistened for sealing.  
• Envelopes with labels or stamps.  
• Envelopes that are slightly inflated with air.  
• Envelopes with glue protruding from the seal area.  
• Envelopes with part of the seal area peeled off.  
CHANGING A TRAY’S PAPER SIZE SETTING  
Follow these steps to change a tray’s paper size setting.  
• The paper size setting cannot be changed when the machine has stopped temporarily due to running out of  
paper or a misfeed, or during interrupt copying.  
Note  
• During printing (even in copy mode), the paper size setting cannot be changed.  
• 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" size paper can only be selected in upper paper tray.  
• Do not load paper that is a different size than the paper size setting. Copying will not be possible.

AUTOMATIC TWO-SIDED COPYING  
(AR-M205 only)  
On models that support automatic two-sided copying, two originals placed on the document glass can be copied  
onto each side of a single sheet of paper. In addition, an RSPF can be used to copy two originals onto one sheet of  
paper, or one two-sided original onto two sheets of paper, or one two-sided original onto each side of one sheet of  
paper.

Note  
• When performing automatic two-sided copying of a one-sided original, or one-sided copying of a two-sided  
original, the image on the back can be rotated 180 degrees to reverse the top and bottom (Image rotation in  
duplex copying). To rotate the image 180 degrees, enable the setting as explained in "IMAGE ROTATION IN  
DUPLEX COPYING" (p.29) or in the user programs (p.44), and then follow the steps below. In particular, when  
a one-sided "vertical (portrait) original" is placed in a horizontal orientation (8-1/2" x 14" or 11" x 17" size) for  
two-sided copying, the top and bottom of the images on the front and back of the paper will be reversed, and  
thus this function can be conveniently used to make the top and bottom of the images agree.

This chapter explains convenient copy functions that can be used when the dual function board (AR-EB7) is installed.  
ROTATING THE IMAGE 90 DEGREES  
(Rotation copy)  
When "Auto paper select mode" or "automatic ratio selection" are in operation and the original is placed in a different  
orientation (vertical or horizontal) than the paper, the original image will be automatically rotated 90 degrees to  
enable correct copying onto the paper.  
This function is convenient for copying 8-1/2" x 14" or 11" x 17" originals, which can only be placed horizontally, onto  
paper that is loaded vertically.  
The rotation copy function is initially enabled. It can be disabled in the user programs. (p.45)  
• Rotation copy will not operate when a copy is enlarged to a paper size greater than 8-1/2" x 11". In this case,  
place the original in the same orientation as the paper.  
Note  
• When 2 IN 1 / 4 IN 1 copy is used (p.34), rotation copy will operate even if disabled in the user programs.

PRINTER/SCANNER FUNCTIONS  
4
The machine includes a USB 1.1 port and a parallel port as standard equipment.  
A computer can be connected to these ports to use the machine as a printer or a scanner.  
When the dual function board is used, the following functions can be used in addition to the standard printer/scanner  
functions.  
• High-speed data transfer (when connected to a USB 2.0 port)  
• ROPM* function  
• Automatic rotation printing  
To use the machine as a printer or scanner, the printer driver or scanner driver must first be installed as explained in  
the "Software Setup Guide".  
* ROPM is an acronym for "Rip Once Print Many" processing. The ROPM function stores multiple pages of print data in memory  
before printing. When printing multiple copies, this eliminates the need for the computer to repeatedly transmit the print data.  
• If a problem occurs in printer or scanner mode, see "TROUBLESHOOTING". (p.52)  
Note  
• Two printer drivers are provided for the machine: a standard printer driver and a printer driver that is used when  
the dual function board is installed. Install the correct printer driver depending on whether or not the dual  
function board is installed. If the correct printer driver is not installed, printing may not take place correctly. (See  
the "Software Setup Guide" for information on installing the printer drivers.)  
• When using USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode), be sure to read "System requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode)"  
(p.38) to verify that your system and the machine settings are configured appropriately.  
• Do not install the printer driver for the dual function board when the dual function board is not installed. If this is  
done, a warning message will print and printing will be canceled.  
• The scanning feature is only available with Windows 98/Me/2000/XP using a USB connection. For users  
running Windows 95/NT 4.0 or using a parallel connection, only printing is available.  
• When interrrupt copying is being performed, printing or scanning is not possible.  
System requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode)  
The following system is required to use USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode):  
• Your computer must be running Windows XP / Windows 2000 and the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver must be  
pre-installed, or the USB 2.0 driver for Windows XP / Windows 2000 must be installed using Microsoft's  
Windows Update service.  
• The "USB 2.0 mode switching" setting in the machine's user programs must be set to "Hi-Speed". To change  
the setting, see "USB 2.0 mode switching" in the user programs. (p.46).  
* Even when the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver is installed, some USB 2.0 expansion cards are not capable of  
attaining the speed stipulated by the Hi-Speed standard. This problem can often be fixed by installing a more  
recent driver for the card. To obtain the most recent driver for your card, contact the card's manufacturer.  
38  
USING THE PRINTER MODE  
The procedure for loading paper is the same as for loading copy paper. See "LOADING PAPER". (p.13)  
• Print jobs received while the machine is copying or being used in scanner mode will be stored in memory. When  
Note  
the copy job is finished or scanner mode is exited, the print jobs will begin printing.  
• Printing is not possible when the front or side cover is opened for machine maintenance, or when a misfeed  
occurs or the machine runs out of paper or toner, or when the drum cartridge reaches its replacement time.  
• If an original misfeed occurs in the SPF/RSPF, printing will not be possible until the misfed original is removed  
and the SPF/RSPF is restored to a usable state.  
BASIC PROCEDURE FOR PRINTING  
The basic procedure for printing is explained in the following. To use convenient printer functions, see the "Online  
Manual" or the printer driver help file.  
Make sure that paper is loaded in the  
tray.  
The procedure for loading paper is the same as for  
copying. See "LOADING PAPER" (p.13) and make  
sure the paper that you wish to use is loaded.  
Make sure that the printer driver for  
the machine is selected, and select  
print settings in the printer driver.  
For information on the settings in the printer  
driver, see the "Online Manual", the Software  
Setup Guide, or the printer driver help file.

8-1/2" x 11"R, set "Setting Paper Size" to "Letter-R".  
For more information, see "CONFIGURING THE  
PRINTER DRIVER" (p.11) in the "Software Setup  
Guide".  
• If the dual function board is not installed, printing will  
not take place correctly if the tray paper size setting  
is 8-1/2" x 11"R. To prevent incorrect printing when  
the tray paper size setting is 8-1/2" x 11"R, specify

Use copy paper within the specified range.  
Paper curled or damp.  
Do not use curled or crimped paper. Replace with dry copy paper.  
During periods when the machine is not used for a long time,  
remove the paper from the tray and store it in a dark place in a  
bag to prevent moisture absorption.  
The printed image is dirty.  
You did not set sufficient margins in the paper settings of  
your application.  
The top and bottom of the paper may be dirty if the margins are  
set outside of the specified print quality area.  
Set the margins in the software application within the specified  
print quality area.  
The paper size is not loaded in the tray the same as that  
specified in the printer driver.  
Check if the [Paper Size] options suit the size of the paper loaded  
in the tray.  
If the "Fit To Page" setting is activated, make sure that the paper  
size selected from the drop-down list of the "Fit To Paper Size"  
option is the same as the size of the loaded paper.  
The orientation of document setting is not correct.  
Click the "Paper" tab in the printer driver setup screen, and verify  
if the "Image Orientation" option is set to your requirements.  
The printed image is skewed or it  
runs off the paper.  
Paper is not loaded properly.  
Make sure the paper is properly loaded.

You have not specified a suitable resolution.  
Make sure that the resolution setting in the scanner driver is  
appropriate for the original.  
You are scanning a large area (for example an entire 11" x  
17") at high resolution.  
If you attempt to scan a large area at high resolution and there is  
insufficient memory in the machine to hold the scanned data,  
scanning will take place at a lower resolution and the scanner  
driver will enhance the data to make up for the lower resolution.  
However, the quality of the enhanced image will not be as high as  
if scanning took place at the higher resolution. Use a lower  
resolution setting, or scan a smaller area.  
You have not specified a suitable value for the "B/W  
Threshold" setting.  
If you are scanning with a TWAIN-compliant application and are  
using "White", "Red", "Green" or "Blue" mode from "Light Source"  
menu, make sure that a suitable value is specified for the "B/W  
Threshold" setting. A larger threshold value makes your output

If scanning is not possible, shut down your computer,  
turn off the machine’s power switch, and unplug the

power to the machine, and try scanning again. If scanning  
is still not possible, check the following items.  
Your application is not TWAIN/WIA compliant.  
If your application is not TWAIN/WIA compliant, scanning will not  
be possible. Make sure your application is TWAIN/WIA

Scanning a large area in full color at high resolution results in a  
large amount of data and extended scanning times. The scanning  
preferences should be set appropriately for type of original to be  
scanned, i.e., Text, Text/Graphics, Photograph, Color, or Black &

There is not enough computer memory.  
The scan resolution will vary depending on the scanning area and  
how much memory in the machine is free. To can a 11" x 17"

Carcinogenicity  
: Not an irritant (Rabbits)  
: No sensitization  
: Negative (Ames Test)  
: In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human  
carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for which there is inadequate  
human evidence, but sufficient animal evidence on which to base an opinion of  
carcinogenicity. The classification is based upon the development of lung tumors in rats  
receiving chronic inhalation exposures to free carbon black at levels that induce particle  
overload of the lung. Studies performed in animal models other than rats did not show  
any association between carbon black and lung tumors. Moreover, a two-year cancer  
bioassay using a typical toner preparation containing carbon black demonstrated no  
association between toner exposure and tumor development in rats.

Chronic Effect  
: In a study in rats of chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to moderate  
degree of lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of the rats in the high concentration  
(16mg/m3) exposure group, and a minimal to mild degree of fibrosis was noted in 22% of  
the animals in the middle (4mg/m3) exposure group, but no pulmonary change was  
reported in the lowest (1mg/m3) exposure group, the most relevant level to potential  
human exposures.
