Sharp AR-C265P User's Guide 6 Introduction Your new printer is designed with advanced features to give you clear, vibrant color printing and crisp black and white pages at high speed on a range of print media. Features _________________________ · · · · · Up to 26 pages per minute full color. Up to 32 pages per minute in black and white. 600 x 1200 dpi (dots per inch) print resolution. Single Pass Color Digital LED technology. 10 Base-T and 100 Base-TX network connection. Options __________________________ · · · Additional Memory: see page 118 256 MB or 512 MB Duplex Unit: see page 119 for automatic two-sided printing Hard disk drive: see page 120 allows you to use secure (confidential) printing, spool print jobs, and store print jobs for later use · Second Paper Tray: see page 121. capacity 530 sheets 20-lb. paper Sharp AR-C265P User's Guide 7 Parts of the Printer Front ____________________________ c53_01_printerfull.jpg 1. Output Stacker, face down Standard printed copy delivery point. Holds up to 250 sheets of 20-lb. (75 g/m²) paper. Operator Panel Menu driven operator controls and LCD display panel Paper Tray Standard paper tray. Holds up to 300 sheets of 20-lb. (75 g/m²) paper. Multi-Purpose Tray Used for feeding transparencies, heavier paper stocks, envelopes and other special media. Also for manual feeding of single sheets when required. 2. 3. 4.

On/Off Switch Socket for Power Cord USB Interface Network Interface Duplex Unit Rear Stacker (face up) Capacity 100 sheets When the rear paper stacker is folded down, paper exits the printer through the rear of the printer and is stacked face up. This is used for labels, heavy print media, envelopes and custom paper sizes. When used with the Multi-Purpose Tray, the paper path through the printer is essentially straight. This avoids bending the print media around curves in the paper path and makes paper feeding more reliable. Sharp AR-C265P User's Guide 9 Paper (Print Media) General Information _____________________ CAUTION! Print media must be able to withstand 446°F (230°C) for 0.2 second. You need to know three characteristics about any paper (print media) you want to use with your printer: · Type · Weight · Size The type, weight, and size of the paper (print media) determine: · which paper feed tray can be used Choices are multipurpose tray (MP Tray/manual feed) or Trays 1 - 2 · which paper exit path can be used Choices are face-down or face-up (straight-through) · whether you can use double sided (duplex) printing For type, see · Paper: US Bond (Metric): see page 18 · Paper: Index: see page 20 · Letterhead: see page 22 · Envelopes: see page 26 · Transparencies: see page 31 · Labels: see page 29 For weight, refer to the correct paper type. Each paper type has a table (matrix) of paper size, paper weight, paper feed, paper exit, simplex/duplex correlations. For general information on paper sizes, see "Paper Size, Feed, and Exit" on page 37. Sharp AR-C265P User's Guide 10 Driver Settings ____________________ General Information Select the thickness/type of media on which you are printing a particular job, to produce optimum print results. This setting overrides the setting in the printer menu. If you are printing on a thick media such as card stock, be sure to select one of the thicker settings (Heavy, Ultra Heavy, Labels1, Labels 2) to get proper fusion of the toner to the page and to prevent possible damage to the printer. If the Ultra Heavy setting does not give proper toner fusion, you can try the Label settings. The default printer menu setting is Medium. Choices are: Printer Setting, Light, Medium, Heavy, Ultra Heavy, Labels1, Labels2, Transparency, Glossy, User Type 1, User Type 2, User Type 3, User Type 4, and User Type 5.

Sharp AR-C265P User's Guide 17 Paper, US Bond ____________________ General Information NOTE To determine if a paper weight is US Bond or Index, check the metric equivalent. 35 lb US Bond = 132 g/m2 35 lb Index = 64 g/m2 For more information, go to www.paper-paper.com/ weight.html The size, weight, and type of the paper (print media) determine: · which paper feed tray can be used · which paper exit path can be used · whether you can use double sided (duplex) printing Single sided printing is also known as simplex printing. These settings can be made in the printer menu or in the printer driver. Application settings override driver settings. Driver settings override printer menu settings. The best performance is obtained when using paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers. Suitable types include: · Hammermill® Laser Printer Radiant White, 24 lb.

Paper should be stored flat, away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat sources. The use of heavily laid or textured paper will seriously affect the life of the image drum and give poor print quality. Print quality can be improved by changing the media setting to `Ultra Heavy.' However, this will reduce the output speed and prevent the use of the duplex option. If the Ultra Heavy setting does not give proper toner fusion, you can try the Label settings. · Avoid: ­ Damp, damaged or curled paper. ­ Very smooth, shiny or glossy paper. ­ Heavily embossed letterhead paper, very rough paper or paper that has a large grain difference between the two sides. ­ Paper with perforations, cut-outs or ragged edges. ­ Carbon paper, recycled paper, NCR paper, photosensitive paper, pressure sensitive paper or thermal transfer paper.
