Frequently Asked Questions - AR-163 SHARP

How do I replace the toner cartridge in my Sharp AR-163?

Open the bypass tray, front cover, and side cover. Push the toner cartridge lock release lever and pull out the old cartridge. Shake the new cartridge horizontally 4-5 times, insert it along the guides until it locks, remove the shutter, and close the covers. The indicator will go out.

See pages 28-29 of the manual for detailed steps.

What should I do if a paper misfeed occurs?

Check the misfeed location indicator on the panel. Open the appropriate cover (bypass tray, side cover, or front cover) and gently remove the jammed paper. Use the roller rotating knob if needed. Be careful not to damage the photoconductive drum. Close all covers securely.

Detailed instructions for each area are on pages 30-33.

How can I make two-sided copies?

First, copy the first side using any paper tray. Then turn the copy over left-to-right and place it into the bypass tray (one sheet at a time). Select the bypass tray using the TRAY SELECT key and press START. Ensure both originals are oriented correctly.

Refer to page 20 for more details.

What types of paper can I use in the bypass tray?

The bypass tray supports ordinary paper (56-128 g/m²), transparency film, labels, and envelopes (up to 10). For paper over 105 g/m², maximum size is A4 (8.5x11). Feed special paper one sheet at a time. Do not use envelopes with metal clasps or windows.

See page 49 for complete specifications.

How do I set up the auditing (account control) feature?

Enable auditing mode via user program No. 10 (set to 1). Register up to 20 three-digit account numbers using program No. 11. Once enabled, the copier will require an account number before copying. Use programs 12-15 to manage accounts. Details are on pages 38-40.

Why are my copies too dark or too light?

Adjust the copy density using the exposure mode. Press the AUTO/MANUAL/PHOTO key to select MANUAL or PHOTO mode, then use the light/dark keys. For automatic exposure adjustment, press and hold the PHOTO key for 5 seconds and set the level. See pages 14-15 and 26.

How do I clean the transfer charger?

Turn off the copier. Open the bypass tray, side cover, and pull out the paper tray. Locate the charger cleaner (stored in the paper tray). Set it onto the transfer charger and slide it gently back and forth 2-3 times along the groove. Return the cleaner and close all covers. See page 45.

What power save modes does the AR-163 have?

Two modes: Preheat mode (maintains lower heat, 10 sec recovery) and Auto power shut-off (turns off most circuits, 35 sec warm-up). The POWER SAVE indicator lights up. Activation times can be set using user programs No. 2 and No. 3. See pages 42-43.

How do I change the copy ratio?

Use the PRESET RATIO selector keys to choose fixed ratios (50%, 70%, 81%, etc.) or the ZOOM keys to set any ratio from 50% to 200% in 1% steps. The AUTO IMAGE key automatically adjusts ratio based on original and paper size. Instructions on pages 16-17.

What does the 'Developer Required' indicator mean?

It means the developer needs replacement. This should only be done by an authorised SHARP service technician. Contact your service centre as soon as possible. The copier can still copy temporarily, but quality may degrade. See page 34.

POWER SAVE MODES

The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption thereby reduce 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.

- User programs

The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time have been preset at the factory to 90 sec.* for preheat mode and 30 min. for auto power shut-off mode. These times can be changed using user programs. It is suggested that you set appropriate times according to the actual usage of the copier. See page 35.

* In European countries, the factory default setting is 30 sec.

Preheat mode

When the copier enters the preheat mode, the POWER SAVE (2) indicator will light up and other indicators will remain on or off as before. In this condition, the fuser in the copier is maintained at a lower heat level, thereby saving power. The preheat level is, however, high enough to allow the copier to come to a ready condition or begin copying within 10 seconds after any key input or copier operation such as paper tray operation is performed.

Auto power shut-off mode

When the copier enters the auto power shut-off mode, the POWER SAVE (②) indicator will light up and all other indicators will go out. The auto power shut-off mode saves more power but requires a longer time to warm up before copying can begin.

As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency.

Setting the power save modes

The time that elapses before the copier enters a power save mode after any operation is made can be set manually. This time is set with user program No. 2 for the preheat mode and user program No. 3 for the auto power shut-off mode. For these settings, see page 36.

• The copier will enter the preheat mode first and then the auto power shut-off mode after a preset time has elapsed when no copier operation has been made.
• If conflicting settings are made with user programs No. 3 and No. 5, the last program set will have priority.

Copying from the preheat mode

Make desired copier selections and press the START (key using the normal copying procedure.

• When any key input is made or any other copier operation is made, the POWER SAVE (①) indicator will start to blink.
• When the START key is pressed, the START key (indicator will go out and copying will start within 10 seconds. The POWER SAVE (indicator will go out when copying starts.

Copying from the auto power shut-off mode

1 Press the START (key. • The copier will exit the auto

- The copier will exit the auto power shut-off mode and the POWER SAVE (⑦) indicator will start to blink.

2 Make desired copier selections and press the START (key using the normal copying procedure.

- It will take approximately 35 seconds for the copier to start copying. However, you can make desired settings and press the START (⑧) key during warm-up. Copying will start after warm-up is finished.

USER MAINTENANCE

Proper care is essential for clean, sharp copies. Please take a few minutes to regularly clean your copier.

The performance specification figures indicated are nominal values of production units. There may be some deviations from these values in individual units.

Using the SPF

• Be sure to remove any staples or paper clips from the originals.
• Damaged or crumpled originals may misfeed in the SPF. It is recommended that these originals be copied from the original table.

• Before placing curled or wavy originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to flatten them. If not, original misfeeds may result.

• For best feeding of originals which have binding holes punched into them, insert them so that the holes are positioned to the right or along the side guides.

• Special originals such as transparency film and tracing paper should not be fed through the SPF but should be copied from the original table.

Stream feeding mode

If the stream feeding mode has been enabled using user program No. 4, the SPF indicator will continue to blink for approximately 5 seconds after feeding of all originals is completed. While this indicator is blinking, any new originals placed in the SPF will be fed and copied automatically. See page 35, USER PROGRAMS.

1 Ensure that no original is left on the original table.
2 Adjust the original guides to the size of the originals.
2 Set the originals face up in the document feeder tray.

- The SPF indicator will light up. If this indicator does not light up, the originals are not properly set or the SPF is not properly closed.

4 Ensure that the copy paper size in the paper tray is the same size as the originals.

- If an optional paper feed unit is installed, a paper tray with the corresponding paper size will be automatically selected.

5 Press the START (key.

- Since only one copy per original can be made, the number of copies cannot be changed. However, if an optional electronic sorting kit is installed, a multiple number of copies can be set using the numeric keys.

Note

• In some regions, the copier is equipped with a 1-page memory buffer. The number of copies can be specified even if an optional electronic sorting kit is not installed.
• While making copies from the SPF, do not place originals of the next copying job. Place them after all copies of the current job have been output.

- Press the CLEAR ( )key to stop copying in the middle of a run.

If an original misfeed occurs in the SPF, the copier will stop and the red indicator which indicates an original misfeed will blink.

1 Open the left feeding roller cover and pull the original gently to the left and out from the document feeder tray. Close the left feeding roller cover.

2 If the misfed original cannot be removed in step 1, open the right feeding roller cover and remove the misfed original. Close the right feeding roller cover.

3 If the misfed original cannot be removed in steps 1 and 2, remove the misfed original from the exit area. Open the document feeder cover and rotate the roller in the direction indicated by the arrow if needed. If the misfed original cannot be easily removed from the exit area, open the front part of the document feeder tray to remove the original.

4 Open and close the document feeder cover to cancel the misfeed location indicator.

Note

After misfed originals are removed, a number may appear in the copy quantity display, indicating the number of originals that must be returned to the document feeder tray. Return the originals and press the START ( )key to resume copying.

ELECTRONIC SORTING KIT (AR-EB3)

If an electronic sorting kit (AR-EB3) is installed, the copier can perform several additional useful functions. These functions are 2 in 1 and 4 in 1, erase, margin shift, and sort/group functions. Also, rotation copying can be performed and a multiple number of originals can be scanned and stored into the memory. The memory can be expanded by adding commercially available memories recommended by SHARP. For details, contact your dealer.

Note

To use the 2 in 1 or 4 in 1 and sort/group functions, an optional SPF (AR-SP2) is needed. When installing an electronic sorting kit, it is recommended to install a single pass feeder.

Rotation copying

If user program No. 7 is set, the image of the original will rotate when the orientation of the original does not match that of the copy paper. Rotation copying will function only if the AUTO PAPER SELECT mode or AUTO IMAGE mode has been selected. Even if user program No. 7 is not set, rotation copying will function when the 2 in 1 or 4 in 1 function is selected. See page 35. However, if enlargement copying onto a paper size larger than A4 (8-1/2" x 11") is performed, the image cannot be rotated.

When this occurs, the detected size and orientation of the original will be indicated by a steadily lighted indicator and a flashing indicator will show the required orientation of the original. The original must be rotated 90^ to match the flashing indicator to prevent image loss on the copies.

Example: Copying from an A3 (11" x 17") original onto A4 (8-1/2" x 11") paper

Sort/group

If an optional electronic sorting kit is installed, the copier will have two sorter modes for different copying jobs: one sorts copies into sets matching the sequence of the originals and the second groups copies by originals.

The sort/group feature cannot be used with the dual page copy feature.

To change the SORT/GROUP mode, press the SORT/GROUP ( _1,2,3,-^1,2,3,-/_1,1,-^2,2,- ) key to select the desired mode.

- The capacity of the paper output tray is 250 sheets (150 sheets if an optional job separator tray kit (AR-TR2) is installed). When the number of copies output reaches this limit in a sort or a group copy run, copying will stop, the output tray full () indicator will light and the START key ( ) indicator will blink.

Remove the copies from the paper output tray and press the START ( ) key to resume copying.

Offset stack

If the offset stack mode is enabled using user program No. 19, each copy will be offset by approximately 25 mm (1 inch). When copying in the sort mode, each collated set of copies will be stacked offset from the previous set. When copying in the group mode, copies will be offset and stacked in groups of multiple copies from the same original.

If the offset stack mode is disabled, copies will not be offset.

The offset stack mode is enabled in the factory default setting.

Section 4. Hazardous Identification (Emergency Overview)

Toner is a fine, black powder possessing no immediate hazard. There are no anticipated carcinogenic effects from exposure based on animal tests performed using toner. When used as intended according to instructions, studies do not indicate any symptoms of fibrosis will occur.

Section 5. Health Hazard Data

Route(s) of Entry:	Inhalation?	Skin?	Ingestion?
	Yes	No	Possible but very unusual.

Health Hazards: Acute oral toxicity ---- LDL0 of this toner is over 2,000mg/kg. Mutagenicity ---- The result of Ames test is negative.

Carcinogenicity: 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/m ^3 ) exposure group, and a minimal to mild degree of fibrosis was noted in 22% of the animals in the middle (4mg/m ^3 ) exposure group, but no pulmonary change was reported in the lowest (1mg/m ^3 ) exposure group, the most relevant level to potential human exposures.

Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Minimal irritation to respiratory tract may occur as with exposure to any non-toxic dust.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: None Emergency and First Aid Procedures:

Inhalation; Remove to fresh air. If effects occur, consult medical personnel.

Eye; In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with water for 15 minutes.
