ABOUT THE SPECIAL FUNCTIONS OF AR-157E
Two sided copying
When copying from the RSPF, two-side originals can be copied automatically 
without having to manually turn them over. Automatic two-sided copying can also be 
performed without using the RSPF. When copying from one-sided originals to two-
sided copies, copying orientation can be selected between Turn on Long Edge and 
Turn on Short Edge.
When making two-sided copies from the original table, the paper size 
must be letter. When making two-sided copies from the RSPF, letter, 
legal, and invoice sizes can be used. Non-standard size paper cannot 
be used.
When making two-sided copies, the multi-bypass tray cannot be used.
When using two-sided invoice size originals from the RSPF, be sure 
to place them in the landscape orientation. Otherwise, an original 
misfeed will occur.

DESCRIPTION OF SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
Toner save mode (page 22)
Reduces toner consumption by approximately 10%.
Power save modes (page 23)
The unit has two power save modes of operation: preheat mode and auto power 
shut-off mode.
Preheat mode
When the unit 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 unit is maintained at a lower heat level, thereby saving power. To copy from 
the preheat mode, make desired copier selections and press the start ( ) key 
using the normal copying procedure.
Auto power shut-off mode
When the unit enters the auto power shut-off mode, the power save ( ) indicator 
will light up and other indicators except the ONLINE indicator will go out. The auto 
power shut-off mode saves more power than the preheat mode but requires a 
longer time before starting copying. To copy from the auto power shut-off mode, 
press the start ( ) key. Then make desired copier selections and press the start 
( ) key using the normal copying procedure.
Auto clear (page 23)
The unit returns to the initial settings a preset amount of time after the end of copy, or 
scanner job. This preset amount of time (auto clear time) can be changed.
Stream feeding mode (page 23)
For description of the stream feeding mode, see Stream feeding mode (p.15).
Resolution of AUTO & MANUAL mode (page 23)
You can set the copy resolution used for AUTO and MANUAL ( ) exposure 
mode.

This chapter describes how to replace the toner cartridge and how to clean the unit.
TONER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
When the toner cartridge replacement required ( ) indicator lights up, replacement 
of the toner cartridge will be needed soon. Obtain a new cartridge. When the toner 
cartridge replacement required ( ) indicator blinks, the toner cartridge must be 
replaced before copying can be resumed. Replace the toner cartridge by following 
the procedure below.
1Open the multi-bypass tray, and 
then open the side cover while 
pressing the side cover open 
button.
2Push gently on both sides of 
the front cover to open the 
cover.
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.
During long copy run of a dark original, the start ( ) indicator may 
blink, the indicator light up, and the unit stop, even though toner is left. 
The unit will feed toner up to 2 minutes and then the start ( ) indicator 
will light up. Press the start ( ) key to restart copying.

then the side cover by 
pressing the round 
projections near the side 
cover open button. The 
indicator will go out and the 
start ( ) indicator will light
