AR-280 OEM TONER CARTRIDGE

The Sharp AR-280 Digital Copying Machine is equipped with a toner level monitoring system, which will display a warning message when the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. Once the toner in the toner cartridge becomes too low, you will see the following message ‘’TONER SUPPLY IS LOW. PRESS [I] FOR GUIDANCE’’ appearing in the AR-280`s display. You should replace the toner cartridge in this situation. However, if you decide to continue using the copier with the nearly empty toner cartridge, the printing/copying quality will be drastically decreased and all copies will gradually become lighter. Eventually, the toner cartridge will be completely exhausted, and you will see the following message ‘’ADD TONER. PRESS [I] FOR GUIDANCE’’ appearing in the display. Once the above message is displayed, all printing/copying operations will be blocked, until the exhausted cartridge is replaced with a new one.

You must start the toner replacement procedure in your Sharp AR-280 Digital Copying Machine by opening the front cover. Then, you must pull down the toner hopper lock lever and pull the toner hopper out until it stops. Now, you must unpack the new toner cartridge, tap on its top 6-7 times, and shake it at least 20 times vertically. After that, you must insert the new toner cartridge into the guides of the toner hopper by sliding it to the right. Once the toner cartridge is in the tonner hopper, you must remove the sealing tape by pulling it to the right side while holding the toner cartridge with your left hand. Then, you must tap on the top of the new toner cartridge 5-6 times to start the flow of toner into the toner hopper. When the toner cartridge is completely empty, you must remove it from the toner hopper by sliding it to the left along the hopper guides and then slide the toner hopper into the copier. Finally, you must push the toner hopper lock lever to its original position and close the front cover of your Sharp AR-280 Digital Copying Machine.
