SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
A number of options are available for the unit which allows you to configure a system 
to meet your particular needs. The options include the following.
FACSIMILE EXPANSION KIT (AR-FX13)
This allows the machine to be used as a facsimile machine.
NETWORK EXPANSION KIT (AR-NB2 A)
This allows the machine to be used as a network printer/network scanner.
PS3 EXPANSION KIT (AR-PK1N)
This allows the machine to be used as a Postscript compatible printer.
REVERSING SINGLE PASS FEEDER (AR-RP9)
The reversing single pass feeder (RSPF) hold up 50 originals for automatic feeding. 
For the names of the parts of the RSPF, see PART NAMES (p.9).
250-SHEET PAPER FEED UNIT (AR-D33)
The paper feed unit provide the convenience of increased paper capacity for the unit 
and a greater choice of paper size readily available for copying.
The procedures for loading paper in the 
paper tray of paper feed unit, changing 
the paper size, and selecting the paper 
tray are same as for the paper tray in the 
unit. See LOADING THE PAPER 
TRAY (p.16) and SELECTING THE 
TRAY (p.23).
Be sure to use only genuine SHARP parts and supplies.
For best copying results, be sure to use only SHARP Genuine Supplies 
which are designed, engineered and tested to maximize the life and 
performance of SHARP copiers. Look for the Genuine Supplies label on 
the toner package.
