Frequently Asked Questions - AR-207 SHARP

How do I load paper into the trays?

Lift and pull out the paper tray until it stops. Push the pressure plate down until it locks. Fan the paper and insert it under the corner hooks, ensuring the edges align with the guides. Push the tray firmly back into the copier. The paper required indicator will turn off when paper is loaded correctly.

How do I replace the toner cartridge?

Open the bypass tray, then slide out the side cover. Push the front cover open. Push the toner cartridge lock release lever and pull out the old cartridge. Remove the new cartridge from its bag, shake it sideways 4-5 times, then insert it along the guides until it locks. Remove the shutter and close the covers in order: front cover first, then side cover. The toner cartridge replacement required indicator will go out.

What should I do if a paper jam occurs?

Check the misfeed location indicators on the panel. Open the appropriate covers (bypass tray, front cover, side cover) and gently remove the jammed paper. Never touch the green photoconductive drum. For RSPF jams, open the feeding roller cover or right side cover. After removal, close all covers firmly; the misfeed indicator will clear.

How do I make two-sided copies?

Load originals face up in the document feeder. Press the ORIGINAL TO COPY key to select the desired mode (e.g., 1→2 for one-sided to two-sided). Set the number of copies and press START. For books, use the original table and press the DUAL PAGE COPY key to copy two pages individually.

How do I use the sort and group functions?

Place originals in the document feeder. Press the SORT/GROUP key to choose either sort (collated sets) or group (all copies of each original together). Set the number of copies and press START. The offset stack can be enabled via user program No. 19 for easy separation of sets.

How do I adjust the copy density?

Press the AUTO/MANUAL/PHOTO key to select the exposure mode. In MANUAL or PHOTO mode, use the light and dark keys to adjust the density across 5 steps. For automatic exposure, the copier adjusts based on the original. The TONER SAVE mode can reduce toner consumption by about 10%.

How do I set up the auditing mode for account tracking?

Enable the auditing mode via user program No. 10. Then use user programs 11-15 to register, change, or delete account numbers, and view copy counts per account. Once enabled, the copier will require a 3-digit account number to operate. Press AUDIT CLEAR to close an account after use.

How do I copy onto special paper like transparencies?

Unfold the bypass tray and adjust the paper guides. Insert one transparency or special media face down into the tray. Press the TRAY SELECT key to select the bypass tray. Leave the copy quantity at 0 and press START. For multiple sheets of standard paper, you can load up to 100 sheets in the bypass tray.

What do the alarm indicators on the panel mean?

The alarm indicators include: maintenance required (call service), toner cartridge replacement required (toner low or empty), developer required (need service replacement), paper required (add paper), and 8V misfeed (paper jam). Blinking red misfeed location indicators show where the jam is.

How can I reduce power consumption when not in use?

The copier has Preheat and Auto Power Shut-off modes. These can be set via user programs 2, 3, and 5. In preheat mode, the copier warms up quickly. In auto power shut-off, the copier turns off most power but can be reactivated by pressing the START key. The POWER SAVE indicator lights up when in these modes.

COPIER INSTALLATION

Improper installation may damage the copier. Please note the following during initial installation and whenever the copier is moved.

Caution

If the copier is moved from a cool place to a warm place, condensation may form inside the copier. Operation in this condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave the copier at room temperature for at least 2 hours before use.

Do not install your copier in areas that are:

• damp, humid, or very dusty
• exposed to direct sunlight
- poorly ventilated
- subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air conditioner or heater.

The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection.

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.

Note

Connect the copier 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.

Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing and proper ventilation.

A small amount of ozone is produced within the copier 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/m ^3 ) 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 copier in a ventilated area.

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

Be careful in handling the copier as follows to maintain the performance of this copier.

Do not drop the copier, subject it to shock or strike it against any object.

NORMAL COPYING

This copier has two document input stations — a reversing single pass feeder (RSPF) for automatic document feeding and an original table for manual handling of bound documents. The RSPF is designed to hold up to 30 originals measuring from 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 11" x 17" and in the weight range of 15 to 24 lbs.

• Be sure to remove any staples or paper clips from the originals.
• Damaged or crumpled originals may misfeed in the RSPF. 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. In this case the settings for location of margin and image rotation in duplex copying may need to be changed to ensure the images are produced in the desired orientation. See pages 22 and 41.

• Special originals such as transparency film and tracing paper should not be fed through the RSPF but should be copied from the original table.
• The bypass tray and any tray with non-standard size paper cannot be used in the duplex copy mode.
• Paper sizes that can be used in the duplex mode are 8-1/2" x 11", 8-1/2" x 11"R, 8-1/2" x 14", and 11" x 17".
• If the offset stack mode is enabled using user program No. 19, each set of copies will be offset from the previous set in the sort and group modes.

Stream feeding mode

If the stream feeding mode has been enabled using user program No. 4, the RSPF 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 RSPF will be fed and copied automatically. See page 51, USER PROGRAMS.

POWER SAVE MODES

The copier 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.

- 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 51.

Preheat mode

When the copier 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 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

If the auto power shut-off mode is enabled, the copier will automatically turn off the power once a programmed length of time has elapsed without any copier operation after the last copy of a run is made or the power is first turned on. The power switch will automatically be turned to the "OFF" position. To turn the power back on, simply turn the power switch to the "ON" position.

- If an optional printer expansion kit or facsimile expansion kit is installed and this mode is enabled, the POWER SAVE 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.

The Environmental Choice Program guidelines are applied to the products only in Canada. The products that meet the Environmental Choice Program guidelines carry the logo shown to the left. The products without the logo may not meet the Environmental Choice Program guidelines.

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 52.

• 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 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

- Only available when an optional printer expansion kit or facsimile expansion kit is installed.

1 Press the START key.

- The copier will exit the auto power shut-off mode and the POWER SAVE 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 key during warm-up. Copying will start after warm-up is finished.

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?Yes	Skin?No	Ingestion?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.
