AR-M257 TONER CARTRIDGE

When a toner cartridge in the Sharp AR-M257 machine has run completely out, a CHANGE THE TONER CARTRIDGE message will appear on the display and the printer will cease to make copies. Before this happens, users can monitor the amount of toner left in the machine by pressing and holding down the COPY button which will result in a toner update appearing on screen. When toner drops below 25% capacity, a TONER SUPPLY IS LOW message will constantly be displayed.

When it is time to change the Sharp AR-M257’s toner cartridge, begin by opening the front cover of the machine. The cover can be unlatched by pressing lightly on both sides of it and singing it downwards. The toner cartridge inside can then be released by pressing the locking latch button on the front of the cartridge.

Once unlatched, the cartridge can be pulled free of the machine, but be sure to support it as it is being pulled out as it could still potentially spill toner. It should also be stored afterwards in a plastic bag to prevent spilling.

Unwrap a new toner cartridge and give it quite a few good shakes left and right and back and forth. Remove the protective tape from the side of the cartridge but NOT the pull tab from the end of the cartridge. First, insert the cartridge into the machine while pressing the release latch and make sure it locks into place. Now pull the tab and close the front cover. The cartridge is ready for use.
 

Begin copying with the document glass by opening the cover of the copy machine. Make sure there is no material in the automatic document feeder at this time. When placing originals on the document glass, be sure that they are faced down and edged up to the UPPER LEFT corner of the glass. A small arrow points at this corner as a reminder.

Close the cover onto the paper, unless you are copying a three dimensional object, in which case simply close it gently as far as it will go, keeping out as much light as possible. Double check that the print material in the tray that is active is the same size as the input material. If the paper sizes do not match, new paper can be loaded or resizing functions can be adjusted.

When ready to copy, select the number of copies to be made by entering the number into the keypad. Press CLEAR to start over if a mistake is made. If no other copy functions are to be adjusted, press the green START button to begin copying.
 

When the type or size of paper in one of the paper trays is changed, the settings must also be changed to match the new input material. Settings must be changed before or after a copy job; not during.

1) Make sure new print material is properly loaded into the tray.
2) Press the dedicated CUSTOM SETTINGS button.
3) Press the TRAY SETTINGS button on screen.
4) Select the correct tray to be adjusted.
5) Select the correct paper type and size if necessary by pressing the SIZE button.
6) Hit OK.
7) When prompted, check the paper tray.
