Copier Printers.
Copier Printers.
Although this is a new Printer expansion kit, we feel it unnecessary to run a formal day’s
training course on this product, because most dealers have already attended the ARPB2
Connectivity training course, and will be able to install and configure the ARPB8 Printer
expansion kit.
Additionally, the network card used in conjunction with the ARPB8 is the same card that
is used with the ARPB2, and dealer engineers are already familiar with this option.

Therefore, we have decided to release the AR-PB8 product support documentation,
including a self-study guide, to the Sharp Technical Web to allow engineers to have
access to the necessary reference material to install, configure and support the product.
