PREPARATIONS

About the scan head

The scan head lamp remains on constantly when the machine is in the ready

condition (when the ready indicator is illuminated).

The machine 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

machine trouble.

long time, turn off the power switch and remove the

power cord from the outlet.

Check the following to make sure the machine is not in operation:

•The ready indicator is lit. (Initial state)

•The power save indicator is lit. (preheat mode or auto shut-off mode)

Power save modes

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. In this mode, the power save indicator lights up. Normal operation automatically

resumes when a key on the operation panel is pressed, an original is placed, a print

job is received.

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. The power save indicator lights up, the display shows a

message indicating that the machine is in auto power shut-off mode. To resume normal

operation, press the [START] key ( ). Normal operation also resumes automatically

when a print job is received or scanning is begun from a computer. While in auto power

shut-off mode, no keys (except the [START] key ( )) can be used.

The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power

consumption and 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.

The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time can be

changed with "PREHEAT MODE" and "AUTO SHUT-OFF TIME" in the

user programs. It is suggested that you set times that are appropriate

for your usage of the machine. (p.62)

LOADING PAPER

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.

LOADING THE PAPER TRAY

1Raise the handle of the paper tray

and pull the paper tray out until it

stops.

2Fan the paper and insert it into the tray. Make sure that the

edges go under the corner hooks.

Make sure that the paper is not torn, is free of dust, and has no wrinkles

or curled edges.

•Do not load paper above the maximum height line ( ).

Exceeding the line will cause a paper misfeed.

•If the paper is not fanned, double-feeds or misfeeds may occur.

•Make sure the stack of paper is straight before loading it. When

adding paper, take the remaining paper out and combine it into a

single stack with the new paper.

•Make sure that all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.

•When loading paper, ensure that there is no space between the

paper and the guide, and make sure that the guide is not set too

narrow and causes the paper to bend. Incorrect loading will cause the

paper to skew or misfeed.

Note

LOADING PAPER

3Gently push the paper tray back into the machine.

•If you loaded a different size of paper than was loaded previously in

the tray, go to "CHANGING A TRAY'S PAPER SIZE SETTING"

(p.19)

•When not using the machine for an extended period, remove all

paper from the paper tray and store it in a dry place. If paper is left in

the machine for an extended period, the paper will absorb moisture

from the air, resulting in paper jams.

Note

BYPASS FEED (including special paper)

The bypass tray can be used to feed standard paper, transparency film, labels,

envelopes, and other special purpose paper.

Important points when inserting paper in the bypass tray

Up to 50 sheets of standard copy paper can be inserted in the bypass tray. (Capacity

will vary depending on the type of paper loaded.)

Be sure to place 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.

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.

•Be sure to select com9, com10 or Monarch in the paper size setting of the printer

driver. (For detailed information on the printer driver, refer to the online manual.)

This chapter explains how to install and configure the software that is required for the

printer and scanner functions of the machine. The procedure for viewing the Online

Manual is also explained.

SOFTWARE FOR AR-168S/168D

The CD-ROM that accompanies the machine contains the following software:

MFP driver

Printer driver

The printer driver enables you to use the printer function of the machine.

The printer driver includes the Print Status Window*. This is a utility that monitors

the machine and informs you of the printing status, the name of the document

currently being printed, and error messages.

* When the machine is connected through the parallel port, the Print Status Window

can only be used when the parallel port is set to ECP mode. To set the parallel port

mode, refer to your computer manual or ask the manufacturer of your computer.

Scanner driver (USB only)

The scanner driver allows you to use the scanning function of the machine with

TWAIN-compliant and WIA-compliant applications.

Sharpdesk

Sharpdesk is an integrated software environment that makes it easy to manage

documents and image files, and launch applications.

Button Manager

Button Manager allows you to use the scanner menus on the machine to scan a document.

•The screen images in this manual are mainly for Windows XP. With

other versions of Windows, some screen images may be different

from those in this manual.

•Where "AR-XXXX" appears in this manual, please substitute the

name of your model for "XXXX". For the name of your model, see the

operation panel on the machine.

•This manual refers to the CD-ROM that accompanied the machine

simply as "CD-ROM".

The scanning feature can only be used with computers that are running

Windows 98/Me/2000/XP and are connected to the machine by a USB

cable. If you are running Windows 95/NT 4.0 or are connected to the

machine by a parallel connection, only the printer function can be used.

Note

SET UP THE SOFTWARE

BEFORE INSTALLATION

Hardware and software requirements

Check the following hardware and software requirements in order to install the

software.

*1The machine's USB connector will transfer data at the speed specified by the USB 2.0

(Hi-Speed) only if the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver is preinstalled in the computer, or if the

USB 2.0 driver for Windows 2000 Professional/XP that Microsoft provides through its

"Windows Update" is installed.

*2Compatible with Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP

Professional or Windows XP Home Edition preinstalled model standardly equipped with

a USB port.

*3Printing is not available in MS-DOS mode.

*5Administrator's rights are required to install the software using the installer.

Installation environment and usable software

The following table shows the drivers and software that can be installed for each

version of Windows and interface connection method.

*1Windows 98/Me does not support USB 2.0. A USB 2.0 connection can be used in

Windows 98/Me, however, the performance will be the same as USB 1.1. The print

speed based on USB 2.0 specifications can only be attained if your computer is running

Windows 2000/XP, you are using a cable that supports USB 2.0 (USB 1.1 or USB 2.0

certified), and the cable is connected to a USB 2.0 port on your computer. If the

connection is made through a hub, the hub must support USB 2.0.

*2The printer driver that is installed will vary depending on the type of connection

between the machine and your computer.

Although it is possible to install Button Manager and Sharpdesk on Windows

98/Me/2000/XP, neither Button Manager nor the scanner function of Sharpdesk can

XP Home Edition preinstalled.

•Do not connect the USB cable before installing the MFP driver. The

USB cable should be connected during installation of the MFP driver.

•If the machine will be connected using a USB 2.0 port of your

computer, please purchase a USB cable that supports USB 2.0.

•The machine's USB connector will transfer data at the speed

specified by the USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed) only if the Microsoft USB 2.0

driver is preinstalled in the computer, or if the USB 2.0 driver for

Windows 2000 Professional/XP that Microsoft provides through its

"Windows Update" Web page is installed.

•To obtain the fastest USB 2.0 data transfer speed, "USB2.0 MODE

SWITCH" in the machine's user programs must be set to "HI-SPEED".

For more information, see "USER PROGRAMS" (p.66).

•Use the machine's "HI-SPEED" mode only when using a computer

that is running Windows 2000/XP.

•Even when the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver is used, it may not be

possible to obtain full USB 2.0 speed if a PC card supporting USB 2.0

is used. To obtain the latest driver (which may enable a higher

speed), contact the manufacturer of your PC card.

•Connection is also possible using a USB 1.1 port on your computer.

When the parallel connector is used, the printer function can be used.

The machine has the following features:

•High-speed data transfer (when connected to a USB 2.0 connector)

•ROPM* function

* 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.

To use the machine as a printer or scanner, the printer driver or scanner driver must

first be installed as explained in the "SET UP THE SOFTWARE".

•If a problem occurs in printer or scanner mode, see the Online

Manual.

•When using USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode), be sure to read "System

requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode)" (below) to verify that

your system and the machine settings are configured appropriately.

•The scanning feature is only available when Windows 98/Me/2000/

XP and a USB connection are used. The scanning feature is not

available when Windows 95/NT 4.0 or a parallel connection is used.

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 SWITCH" setting in the machine's user programs must be

set to "Hi-Speed". To change the setting, see "USB 2.0 MODE SWITCH" in the

user programs (p.66).

* 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.

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/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.
