Image loss (max. 13/64" (5 mm)) can occur along the leading and trailing edges of the copies. Also image loss (max. 13/64" (5 mm) in total) can occur along the other edges of the copies. The RADF can handle a maximum of 50 originals of 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 8-1/2" x 11" sizes and 30 originals of 8-1/2" x 14" to 11" x 17" sizes. 2-sided to 1-sided copying and 2-sided to 2-sided copying can be performed in these models. The originals must be set face up in the document feeder tray. Different size originals with the same width can be placed in the document feeder tray and automatically copied onto copy paper of their respective sizes. The automatic copy ratio selection will not function in this case.

EXPOSURE ADJUSTMENTS

This copier has four exposure modes to choose from: AUTOMATIC, TEXT, TEXT/PHOTO and PHOTO.

Automatic

This is the standard initial setting for this copier. In this mode, the characteristics of an original being copied are read by the exposure system, and exposure adjustments are made automatically. This optimizes the contrast of the copied images by reducing the effect of colored or shaded background areas.
MAKING COPIES Exposure adjustments
Text, text/photo, and photo
Text mode: This mode is useful in enhancing very low density areas of an original or in suppressing unusually high-density background areas. Text/photo mode: This mode provides the best balance for copying an original which contains both text and photos. This mode is also useful for copying printed photographs. Photo mode: This mode provides the best copies of photographs with fine details.

IMAGE EDITING FUNCTIONS

The image editing functions include the following functions. q Job build: Makes copies from a large volume of originals (up to 120 pages) using the document feeder. q Centering: Shifts the image to the center of copy paper when the original and the copy paper are of different sizes. q Repeat copy: Produces repeated copies on a single sheet of copy paper. q B/W reverse: Reverses the black and white areas. q Binding change: Rotates the image of originals for the second side in the 1-sided to 2-sided copy mode. These functions are selected by pressing the IMAGE EDIT key on the SPECIAL MODES screen and pressing the key of each function. CHAPTER

JOB BUILD

Original The JOB BUILD function allows copying of multipage documents containing up to 120 pages (the limit, however, might be up to 60 pages of 8-1/2" x 14" or 11" x 17" paper size when the copier is equipped with some option) using the RADF. The original must be divided into sections of up to 50 pages per section. Each section can be fed separately through the RADF for eventual copying into a complete set(s).

TANDEM COPY

If this copier is connected with another copier of the same model equipped with the same options through the tandem-connection cable (AR-CA1), copying with the two machines can be performed eventually making the total copy time for multiple copies one-half of the case when using a single copier. q A dedicated tandem-connection cable AR-CA1 is required for tandem copying. q The tandem copying can be used only in the sort mode or staple sort mode. The group mode cannot be selected. q The transparency inserts function cannot be used with this function because the number of copies must be 1 when the transparency inserts function is used. q The TANDEM COPY key will only be displayed on the touch panel of the machine set as the main copier, (an authorized Sharp Service Technician will do the setting of the main and sub copiers at the time of installation). When the tandem function is selected, (only available on the main copier) the other will then become the sub copier. The setting procedure is described below.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS Tandem copy
INTERRUPT will not function during tandem copying. The tandem copying function is not available for the AR-287.
Ensure that the two copiers are connected through the tandem-connection cable and they have been turned on. On the copier that will be set as the main copier, place the originals in the document feeder tray or on the document glass.

Paper of the same size and same orientation must be installed in the two copiers. Even if the image of the original is rotated to match the copy paper in the main copier, the orientation of the copy paper in the sub copier must be the same as that in the master copier.
On the main copier, press the START key.
Images scanned by the main copier will be stored in both copiers. Half the number of copies selected will be made simultaneously on both copiers. When the number of copies selected is odd, one more copy will be made on the main copier than the sub copier.
