Photoconductive drum
The AR-280/AR-285/AR-335 Copiers have advanced process control
technology which improves copy quality uniformity. This feature
stabilizes copy quality throughout the life of the photoconductive
drum by automatically compensating for the changes in drum
characteristics due to wear, operator use patterns, and environmental
conditions. The automatic adjustments are made in response to a
sensor that detects the reflectance characteristics of the drum.

WARNING
This feature requires drums containing the special reflectance area
(recommended Sharp genuine photoconductive drum), to prevent
low image density copies from poor process control and possible
damage to the machine. If you use other drums, the process control
system cannot run properly.
