Fluidized waste treatment system 
using natural purification

At the Fukuyama site where ICs are manufactured, we used to 

hire a subcontractor to incinerate spent developer, which 

makes up 70% of all our industrial waste. This method placed a 

significant burden on the environment, including the energy 

used for incineration and exhaust gas from the vehicles 

transporting the waste. Treatment costs swelled as production 

increased. It was a challenging issue for us, from both an 

environmental and managerial standpoint.

We at the Fukuyama site had been pursuing in-house 

treatment for spent developer, and we finally completed a 

fluidized waste treatment system using natural purification in 

1996.

This system is based on a concept of purifying spent 

developer by natural processes. Built according to our 

proprietary design, it is a state-of-the-art system that produces 

no hazardous sludge during the treatment process.

Microorganisms Purify Water, Sustain 
Monitoring by Fish 

In-House Treatment of Used Developer to 
Produce No Polluted Mud

Sharp’s system makes the maximum use of materials existing 

in nature. In the microorganism treatment process, 

microorganisms cultured to high levels of density are used to 

decompose most of the main components in spent developer 

that have strong alkalinity.

In the oyster shell treatment process, neutralizing treatment is 

carried out using a film of microorganisms that forms on the 

surface of oyster shells to decompose other organic 

substances.

In the Bincho charcoal/bio-activated charcoal treatment 

process, charcoal agents absorb a slight amount of the 

remaining organic substances. The charcoal is cleansed 

automatically, as the absorbed organic substances are treated 

by microorganisms growing on the surface of the charcoal.

In the fish monitoring process, in addition to measuring 

instruments, water safety is monitored with freshwater fish, 

such as roaches and Japanese bitterlings, which are sensitive 

to environmental changes.

Effective use of water at Mie site

Making the Most Effective Use of Water Resources

Recovery effluents with a reuse rate of 92%

Special Edition

2

Our Mie plant is located 10 km southeast of Matsuzaka City in 

Mie prefecture. The nearby Kushida River is the source of 

drinking water for Matsuzaka citizens and is also used for local 

agricultural irrigation. Since LCD manufacturing requires a lot 

of water, drainage treatment is an important factor in 

environmental preservation in the neighborhood.

Effluent Treatment Facility Ensures Reuse 
Rate of 92%

Clear Concept for Environmental 
Preservation

Pure water used in the production process is classified into 

inorganic, organic and neutral effluents* before being 

discharged and recovered in a closed system for later reuse. 

When we began operations in 1995, we mainly recovered and 

reused inorganic effluent, which was believed to have a 

negative effect on the environment with a recovery rate of 

30%. We had repeatedly evaluated treatment processes to 

recover and reuse organic and neutral effluents until 1996 

when we introduced a new treatment process. This process 

utilizes microorganisms for the organic effluent and 

ultraviolet-ray oxidation treatment technology for the neutral 

effluent. This raised the recovery rate to 69%.

Quick First Copy Time

The AR-M351U/N has a quick first copy time of 

4.9 

seconds

 to save valuable time when performing 

multiple short-run jobs.

Super-Efficient Output

With a continuous output of 

35 cpm/ppm

*, the 

AR-M351U/N allows you to produce large-volume 

documents in less time. 

*A4 (8

High-Speed Processor

The AR-M351U/N comes with a high-speed RM7065 

64-bit RISC processor (300 MHz), which allows even 

memory-intensive graphic documents to be processed 

promptly and ensures speedy and efficient printing in the 

networked office. 

A3 Duplex Single Pass Feeder (DSPF)

The AR-M351U/N can be 

equipped with an optional DSPF, 

which 

scans both pages

 of 

two-sided documents 

up to A3

 

(11" x 17") in size in one pass. 

Doing away with the reversing 

circuit minimises paper misfeeds and vastly improves reliability. 

With a quick scanning speed of 60 pages per minute for two-sided 

originals and 37 pages for single-sided in Standard mode, the 

AR-M351U/N finishes even large projects quickly. 

Duplex Copying/Printing 

The AR-M351U/N can make 

two-sided copies and 

printouts

 when equipped with 

the optional duplex module or 

duplex module with bypass tray, 

effectively reducing paper costs 

as well as saving filing space. Duplex copying is even more 

productive when used together with the DSPF. 

Superb Image Quality

You get ultra-detailed reproduction with 600 dpi resolution. The 

printing resolution can be enhanced to 

1,200 dpi

 (with 

smoothing). Digital Auto Exposure Control provides optimum copy 

contrast, and Text/Photo mode automatically adjusts the copy 

contrast for documents containing both text and photos. 

Network Tandem Function

When two AR-M351U/Ns are connected to the same office 

network, you can use both simultaneously to double 

copying/printing output to up to 

70 cpm/ppm

. Operation is 

simple and the machines can even be in different locations. With 

just a few keystrokes, you can handle large-volume jobs to meet 

tight deadlines.

Job Build for Large-Volume Scanning

The AR-M351U/N easily handles copy jobs exceeding the DSPF’s 

50-sheet capacity*

*2: Measured using Sharp’s standard chart (A4 size with 6% coverage). The 
number of pages that can be saved for the Job Build function depends on 
the AR-M351U/N’s memory capacity and other conditions. 

Automated Job Finishing

The AR-M351U/N makes it easy to create 

professional-looking documents 

automatically. The optional 

Saddle Stitch 

Finisher

 folds and staples sets of 

documents to make completed booklets. A 

Finisher

 is also available for jobs that 

require only simple sorting and stapling. 

And, a 

Punch Module

 allows you to punch 

holes in documents for easy filing. These 

high-performance finishing capabilities save 

you valuable time and money by reducing 

costly outsourcing.

Bypass Printing

When conventional printers run out of the paper needed for a 

specific job, the machine stops until it is reloaded. With the 

AR-M351U/N, however, you never need to wait on someone else’s 

job; the AR-M351U/N automatically 

proceeds to the next 

possible job

 in the queue. 

Mail Bin Stacker

The optional Mail Bin Stacker is ideal for 

offices where large groups of people 

use the same machine. When printing, 

avoid mixing up your documents with 

those of other users by pre-selecting 

one of 

seven destination bins

 for 

your documents.  

Convenient Copy Applications

• 

Book Copy

 is convenient for 

compiling copies of a book or 

bound originals into pamphlet 

format.

• 

Card Shot

 enables one-touch 

copying of both sides of a card 

(credit cards, ID cards, etc.) 

onto a single page.

• 

Stamp

 labels your copy with 

entered text, page numbers, 

the date, or a reverse character 

set such as “CONFIDENTIAL”. 

Various Printing Functions

• With 

PDF/TIFF Direct Print

, you save valuable time by printing 

PDF and TIFF files without using the printer driver or opening 

applications: you can print the file directly from an FTP server 

(pull print), a Web page (push print), or an e-mail attachment. 

Note: Direct PDF printing requires the optional AR-PK6. Certain types of 
TIFF and PDF files may not print out this way.

• 

Carbon Copy Print

 mode 

automatically outputs multiple 

printouts of the same data on 

plain and/or coloured paper 

from different paper trays. 

Convenient for multi-print 

invoices and purchase orders.

• 

Proof Printing

 allows you to check a trial set before printing out 

in large numbers to avoid printing mistakes.

• 

Barcode font

 compatibility 

(with the optional AR-PF1 Barcode Font Kit)

Productive Copying and High-Performance Network Printing

Note: Network print function is standard on the AR-M351N, but the AR-M351U requires the optional AR-NC7 or AR-NC8 Print Server Card. 

Large Paper Capacity

For large-volume jobs and a 

wider selection of available 

paper sizes, the AR-M351U/N 

can accommodate optional 

paper drawers for an on-line 4-

way paper feed with a capacity 

of up to 

3,100 sheets

. When a 

tray runs out of paper, the 

Auto Tray Switching

 function 

automatically switches to another paper tray filled with the same 

size paper. This allows you to do extra-large volume jobs without 

worrying about running out of paper. 

PCL6 and PostScript 3 Emulation

The AR-M351U/N supports PCL5e and PCL6 printer languages. For 

compatibility with PostScript 3, the AR-PK6 PS3 Expansion Kit is 

available.

Powerful Network Printing

The AR-M351U/N works as a network printer with the most 

commonly used network operating systems and protocols and 

even in mixed network OS environments. With a 64-bit, 300 MHz 

CPU, you get powerful network printing via 100Base-TX and 

10Base-T Ethernet standards.

Priority Printing

In Job Status mode, the operation panel displays a list of all jobs, 

whether printing, copying, scanning, or faxing. See at a glance 

which job is in progress and where your job is in the queue. You 

can also 

change the print queue order

 with one touch of the 

LCD screen. Urgent jobs can 

receive priority, meaning you 

don’t have to wait until other 

jobs are finished. 

COPYING AND PRINTING

Producing high-volume jobs with amazing speed, simplicity, and superb image quality, the AR-M351U/N’s high-speed RISC processor, productivity-

enhancing options, and advanced printing functions make even complex jobs with sophisticated finishing options efficient and easy.
