SUPPLIES
Standard supplies for this product that can replaced by the user include paper, toner cartridges, and staple cartridges for 
the finisher.
Be sure to use only SHARP-specified products for the toner cartridges, finisher staple cartridge, saddle stitch finisher 
staple cartridge, and transparency film.
Storage of supplies
Proper storage
1. Store the supplies in a location that is: clean and dry,
 at a stable temperature,
 not exposed to direct sunlight.
2. Store paper in the wrapper and lying flat.
3. Paper stored in packages standing up or out of the wrapper may curl or become damp, resulting in paper misfeeds.
Storing toner cartridges
Store a new toner cartridge box horizontally with the top side up. Do not store a toner cartridge standing on end. If stored 
standing on end, the toner may not distribute well even after shaking the cartridge vigorously, and will remain inside the 
cartridge without flowing out.
Staple cartridge
The finisher and saddle stitch finisher require the following staple cartridge:
MX-SCX1 (for finisher and saddle stitch finisher)
Approx. 5000 per cartridge x 3 cartridges
AR-SC2 (for finisher (large stacker))
Approx. 5000 per cartridge x 3 cartridges
AR-SC3 (for saddle stitch finisher only)
Approx. 2000 per cartridge x 3 cartridges
Supply of spare parts and consumables 
The supply of spare parts for repair of the machine is guaranteed for at least 7 years following the termination of 
production. Spare parts are those parts of the machine which may break down within the scope of the ordinary use of 
the product, whereas those parts which normally exceed the life of the product are not to be considered as spare parts. 
Consumables too, are available for 7 years following the termination of production. 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 products. Look for the
