PRODUCTIVE COPYING
Speedy Copying and Quick First Copy Time

The AR-5731/5726 has a quick first copy time of 4.5/4.8 seconds to save valuable time when performing multiple short-run jobs. And with a continuous copy rate of up to 31/25 cpm*, you can do more copy jobs in less time.

Electronic Sorting and Offset Stacking

The AR-5731/5726’s Scan Once/Print Many (SOPM) function does one scan of multiple-page documents and stores them in memory for making up to 999 copies of each page. The Electronic Sorting function then automatically collates multiple sets of copies in page order without the aid of a sorter. The AR-5631/5625 also stacks each set slightly shifted apart from the previous (offset stacking) for easy retrieval.

                                                                                     
 
Automated Job Finishing

The AR-5731/5726 makes it easy to create professional-looking booklets. Working together with the highly productive built-in stackless duplex module, the optional Saddle Stitch Finisher folds and staples sets of documents to make completed booklets. A Punch Module allows you to punch holes in documents for easy filing. And, a Finisher is also available for jobs that require only simple sorting and stapling.

 
Built-in Duplex Module and Optional RSPF

The AR-5731/5726 can automatically produce duplex copies from one- or two-sided originals. This reduces paper costs and helps save filing space. Duplex copying is even more productive when used together with the optional RSPF (reversing single pass feeder), which efficiently feeds in up to 100 pages of either one- or two-sided originals.
Job Build for Large-Volume Scanning

With optional extra memory installed, the AR-5631/5625 easily handles copy jobs exceeding the RSPF’s 100-sheet capacity*1. Large-volume documents of up to 2,970 pages*2 are automatically stored in memory. Users can then print the entire document in a single run.

*2 : Measured using Sharp’s standard chart (A4 with 6% coverage). The actual storage limit depends on the amount of memory installed.

Versatile Editing Functions

The AR-5631/5625 is standard equipped with various image editing functions that make copying more convenient.

Other Key Features

    * Standard 1,100-sheet paper capacity, expandable to max. 2,100 sheets Auto tray switching
    * Card Shot enables one-touch copying of both sides of a card (credit cards, ID cards, etc.) onto a single page
    * Digital Automatic Exposure Control and Text/Photo mode provide optimum copy quality

PERFORMANCE PRINTING

High-Quality Printing with Sharp Technology

The AR-5631/5625 is a high-performance printer incorporating Sharp Printer Language with Compression (SPLC) technology. SPLC effectively reduces the data size of print jobs, speeding up the data transfer time and printing process while improving overall throughput. Also, the RIP Once/Print Many function saves print data in the AR-5631/5625’s internal memory and transfers it to output at a quick rate of 31/25 ppm. Both IEEE 1284 parallel and USB 2.0 ports are provided as standard. The AR-5731/5726’s 600-dpi printing resolution can be enhanced to 1,200 dpi (with smoothing) for ultra-detailed reproduction.

Job Offset and Separator

To make it easier to locate and retrieve your documents from the tray, the AR-5731/5726’s Job Offset function stacks each print job slightly shifted apart from one another. In addition, a convenient Job Separator* outputs copied documents onto a separate tray, preventing them from getting mixed in with printouts and faxes.

Other Key Features

• Duplex printing
• N-up
• Fit-to-Page
• Watermarks

VERSATILE FAXING
High-Speed Operation

The optional AR-FX7 Fax Expansion Kit turns the AR-5731/5726 into a 33.6 Kbps Super G3 fax. Using JBIG compression technology, the AR-5731/5726 can send an A4 (8 1/2" x 11") size page in under 3 seconds*. Use the optional 100-sheet RSPF to further boost faxing efficiency. And because Quick On-Line Transmission can start dialling and transmitting as soon as the first page is scanned into memory, you can send documents in much less time.
* Based on Sharp’s standard chart with approximately 700 characters (A4 or 8 1/2" x 11" portrait) at standard resolution
                                                                                                                         

Duplex Transmission and Reception

With the optional RSPF, the AR-5731/5726 scans both pages of two-sided documents and sorts them in memory. The pages are then transmitted in the proper order. Thanks to the standard duplex module, the AR-5731/5726 can also print incoming faxes onto both sides of paper, thus saving you paper costs.

500-Number Auto Dialing

Register up to 500 numbers into the customisable directory of one-touch auto-dial keys, listed in alphabetical order for easy searches of specific numbers.  

PC-Fax

A PC-Fax function allows you to directly send a document created on your PC to a fax machine without printing to paper. This function saves time, increases faxing productivity, and retains original document quality.
Other Key Features

• F-Code communication
• Memory transmission and reception
• Timer transmission
• Broadcast transmission
• Polling
• Anti-junk fax

USER-FRIENDLY & SECURE

8-1-Inch LCD Panel

The AR-5731/5726’s logically designed control panel features a wide, clear touch-screen LCD with easy-to-follow guidance. For example, when adjusting the edge/centre erase function, the LCD displays step-by-step instructions to guide you through the necessary procedures.

Data Security Kit

Digital copier/printers or multifunction products can retain hundreds of pages of confidential information from previous jobs on their internal memory. To safeguard this information from unauthorised access, the optional Data Security Kit automatically erases the data after each job is complete.

Auditing Mode

An auditing mode requires users to enter a five-digit PIN code to gain access to the control panel. This feature also restricts users from printing to the AR-5731/5726.
