•
• Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.
• When loading paper, ensure there is no space between the paper and
the guide, and check if the guide is not set too narrow causing the
paper to bend. Loading paper in these ways will result in document
skew or a paper jam.
• When not using the unit for an extended period, remove all paper from
the paper tray and store it in a dry place. If paper is left in the unit for
an extended period, the paper will absorb moisture from the air,
resulting in paper jams.

•
When adding new paper to the paper tray, remove the old paper already
contained in the tray. Placing new paper on top of the paper already
contained in the tray may result in feeding two sheets at one time.

to 128g/m can be used in this tray. (For paper weighing from 104 to 128g/m , A4 is
the maximum size.)
• The multi-bypass tray (AR-153EN) can hold maximum of 50 sheets of
paper. (Capacity will vary depending on the type of paper loaded.) The
single bypass (AR-122EN/AR-152EN) can hold one sheet of paper.
• The original image must be smaller than the paper or media for
copying. If the original image is bigger than the paper or media, this
may cause smudges on the edges of the copies.

Note for loading envelopes
• Envelopes must be fed narrow side into the feed slot one at a time.
• Do not use non-standard envelopes, and envelopes that have metal clasps,
plastic snappers, string closures, windows, linings, self-adhesive, patches or
synthetic materials. Do not use envelopes that are filled with air or envelopes that
have labels or stamps attached.
• Envelopes of which the surface is not flat because of embossing may cause the
copies/prints to become smudged.
• Under high humidity and temperature conditions the glue flaps on some
envelopes may become sticky and be sealed closed when copied/printed.
• Use only envelopes which are flat and crisply folded. Curled or poorly formed
envelopes may be poorly copied/printed or may cause misfeeds.
• It is recommended that you perform a test copy before performing the actual
copied/printed job.
• Be sure to select either Com 10, DL, C5 or Monarch on the paper size setting of
the printer driver. (For detailed information on printer driver, refer to the online
manual.)

MAKING COPIES
3
This chapter explains basic and other copying functions.
The unit is equipped with a one-page memory buffer. This memory allows the unit to
scan an original once only and make up to 99 copies. This feature improves
workflow, reduces operation noise from the copier, and provides higher reliability by
reducing wear and tear on the scanning mechanism.
If the unit does not function properly during use, or if a function cannot
be used, see "TROUBLESHOOTING THE UNIT" (p.29).
COPY FLOW
3
1
Make sure that paper has been loaded in the paper tray (p.8) or multi-
bypass tray (p.10), and check the paper size (p.7).
If paper is not loaded, see page 8. If you are using the single bypass, check
the paper size and then proceed to the next step without loading paper.
2 Turn on the unit (p.14).
3
Place the original.
If you are using the original table, see "Using the original table" (p.16).
If you are using the SPF, see "Using the SPF" (p.17).
When copying onto paper larger than A4, pull out the paper output tray
extension.
4
Select the copy settings.
If you wish to copy using the initial settings (p.15), proceed to the next step.
To set the number of copies, see page 18.
To adjust the resolution and contrast settings, see page 18.
To enlarge or reduce the copy, see page 20.

Do not insert paper in the single bypass when a copy job from the paper
tray is in progress. This will cause a misfeed.
CONNECTING THE POWER CORD
If you use the unit in a country other than the country where the unit was
purchased, you will need to make sure that your local power supply is
compatible with your model. If you plug the unit into an incompatible
power supply, irreparable damage to the unit will result.
Ensure that the power switch of
1
the unit is in the OFF position.
Insert the attached power cord
into the power cord socket at the
rear of the unit.
Plug the other end of the power cord into the nearest outlet.
2
Only insert the power cord into a properly grounded wall socket.
Do not use extension cords or power strips.
Power on
Ensure that the power switch of the unit is
in the OFF position. Plug the other end of
the power cord into the nearest outlet.
Turn the power switch on the left side of
the unit to the "ON" position. The start
(
) indicator will light up and other
indicators which show the initial settings
of the operation panel will also light up to
indicate the ready condition. For the initial
settings, see the "Initial settings of
operation panel" described on the next page.
• The unit will enter a power save mode once the set time has elapsed
without any unit operation. The settings of the power save modes can
be modified. See "USER PROGRAMS" (p.22).
• The unit will return to the initial settings a preset amount of time after
the end of copy or scanning job. The preset amount of time (auto
clear time) can be changed. See "USER PROGRAMS" (p.22).

About the scan head
The scan head lamp remains on constantly when the unit is in the ready condition
(when the start ( ) indicator is illuminated).
The unit adjusts the scan head lamp periodically to maintain copying quality. At this
time, the scan head moves automatically. This is normal and does not indicate unit
trouble.
Initial settings of operation panel
When the unit power is on, the operation panel will revert to the initial settings when
the time set with the "Auto clear time" setting (p.21) elapses after a copy or scanner
job is finished, or when the clear (
) key is pressed twice.
The initial settings of the operation panel are shown below.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

This chapter describes the special functions of this unit. Use these functions as
needed.
DESCRIPTION OF SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
Toner save mode (page 21)
Reduces toner consumption by approximately 10%.
Power save modes (page 22)
The unit has two power save modes of operation: preheat mode and auto power
shut-off mode.
Preheat mode
When the unit enters the preheat mode, the power save ( ) indicator will light up
and other indicators will remain on or off as before. In this condition, the fuser in
the unit is maintained at a lower heat level, thereby saving power. To copy from
the preheat mode, make desired copier selections and press the start ( ) key
using the normal copying procedure.
4
Auto power shut-off mode
When the unit enters the auto power shut-off mode, the power save ( ) indicator
will light up and other indicators will go out. The auto power shut-off mode saves
more power than the preheat mode but requires a longer time before starting
copying. To copy from the auto power shut-off mode, press the start ( ) key.
Then make desired copier selections and press the start ( ) key using the
normal copying procedure.
Auto clear (page 22)
The unit returns to the initial settings a preset amount of time after the end of copy, or

PLEASE READ THIS LICENSE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SOFTWARE. BY
USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF
THIS LICENSE.
1. License.
The application, demonstration, system and other software accompanying this License, whether on disk,
in read only memory, or on any other media (the "Software") and related documentation are licensed to
you by SHARP. You own the disk on which the Software is recorded but SHARP and/or SHARP's
Licensors retain title to the Software and related documentation. This License allows you to use the
Software on one or more computers connected to a single printer and make one copy of the Software in
machine-readable form for backup purposes only. You must reproduce on such copy the SHARP
copyright notice, the copyright notice of SHARP’s Licensors and any other proprietary legends of
SHARP and/or its Licensors that were on the original copy of the Software. You may also transfer all
your license rights in the Software, the backup copy of the Software, the related documentation and a
copy of this License to another party, provided the other party reads and agrees to the terms and
conditions of this License.
2. Restrictions.
The Software contains copyrighted material, trade secrets and other proprietary material which is owned
by SHARP and/or its Licensors and in order to protect them you may not decompile, reverse engineer,
disassemble or otherwise reduce the Software to a human-perceivable form. You may not modify,
network, rent, lease, loan, distribute or create derivative works based upon the Software in whole or in
part. You may not electronically transmit the Software from one computer to another or over a network.
3. Termination.
This license is effective until terminated. You may terminate this License at any time by destroying the
Software and related documentation and all copies thereof. This License will terminate immediately
without notice from SHARP and/or SHARP’s Licensors if you fail to comply with any provision of this
License. Upon termination you must destroy the Software and related documentation and all copies
thereof.
4. Export Law Assurances.
You agree and certify that neither the Software nor any other technical data received from SHARP, nor
the direct product thereof, will be exported outside the United States except as authorized and as
permitted by the laws and regulations of the United States. If the Software has been rightfully obtained by
you outside of the United States, you agree that you will not re-export the Software nor any other
technical data received from SHARP, nor the direct product thereof, except as permitted by the laws and
regulations of the United States and the laws and the regulation of the jurisdiction in which you obtained
the Software.
5. Government End Users.
If you are acquiring the Software on behalf of any unit or agency of the United States Government, the
following provisions apply. The Government agrees:
(i) if the Software is supplied to the Department of Defense (DoD), the Software is classified as
"Commercial Computer Software" and the Government is acquiring only "restricted rights" in the
Software and its documentation as that term is defined in Clause 252.227-7013 (c)(1) (Oct. 1988)
of the DFARS; and
(ii) if the Software is supplied to any unit or agency of the United States Government other than DoD,
the Government's rights in the Software and its documentation will be as defined in Clause 52.227-
19 (c)(2) of the FAR or, in the case of NASA, in Clause 18-52.227-86 (d) of the NASA

workmanship under normal use for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of purchase as evidenced
by a copy of the receipt. The entire liability of SHARP and/or its Licensors and your exclusive remedy
will be replacement of the disk which fails to meet the limited warranty provided by this Clause 6. A disk
will be replaced when it is returned to SHARP or a SHARP authorized representative with a copy of the
receipt. SHARP will have no responsibility to replace a disk damaged by accident, abuse or
misapplication.
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ON THE DISKS, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN
DURATION TO NINETY (90) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF DELIVERY. THIS WARRANTY GIVES
YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY
FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.
7. Disclaimer of Warranty on Software.
You expressly acknowledge and agree that use of the Software is at your sole risk. The Software and
related documentation are provided "AS IS" and without warranty of any kind and SHARP and SHARP's
Licensor(s) (for the purpose of provisions 7 and 8, SHARP and SHARP's Licensor(s) shall be collectively
referred to as "SHARP") EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SHARP DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE
FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT
THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR
THAT DEFECTS IN THE SOFTWARE WILL BE CORRECTED. FURTHERMORE, SHARP DOES

RESULTS OF THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE OR RELATED DOCUMENTATION IN TERMS OF
THEIR CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN
INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY SHARP OR A SHARP AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE
OF THIS WARRANTY. SHOULD THE SOFTWARE PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU (AND NOT
SHARP OR A SHARP AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE) ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL
NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION, SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW
THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY
TO YOU.
8. Limitation of Liability.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, SHALL SHARP BE LIABLE FOR
ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM THE
USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE OR RELATED DOCUMENTATION, EVEN IF
SHARP OR A SHARP AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
In no event shall SHARP's total liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in
contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise) exceed the amount paid by you for the Software.
9. Controlling Law and Severability.
For a portion of the Software related with Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows, this license shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of California and Washington,
respectively. For a portion of the Software and for the documentation relating thereto which has been
licensed to SHARP by Software 2000 International Limited, this license should be governed by and
constructed in accordance with the laws in England. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction
finds any provision of this License, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the License
shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the
remainder of this License shall continue in full force and effect.
10. Complete Agreement.
This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the use of the Software and
related documentation, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written
or oral, regarding such subject matter. No amendment to or modification of this License will be binding
