POWER ON AND OFF
The power switch is at the right side of the machine.
POWER ON
Turn the power switch to the "ON"
position.
“ON”
• Upon the startup of the machine, or when the [CLEAR] key ( ) is pressed twice, the machine will be restored
Note
to its initial settings. When the machine is restored to its initial settings, all the settings and selected functions
will be cancelled.
• If no operation is performed in 3 minutes, the machine will automatically enter auto power shut off mode.
• When the machine restores to the initial status after resolving the misfeed, do not turn off the power supply.
Auto power shut off
It takes about several
seconds for the machine
to warm up. The machine
can start copying only
after warm-up.
However, you can
change settings and
press the [COPY
START] key ( ) during
warm-up. The copying
will start immediately
after warm-up.
POWER OFF
Be sure to turn the power switch to the
"OFF" position when it is not being used.
“OFF”
When the machine is
powered off during an
operation, misfeed may
occur, and the task being
processed will be
cancelled.
The auto power shut off mode helps to reduce the total power consumption and the running cost. It also helps to
save natural resources and reduces environmental pollution.
If no operation is performed in 3 minutes when the machine is on, the machine will automatically enter auto power
shut off mode (The 100% ratio indicator will flash, and all the other indicators will be off). To restore normal
operation, press any key on the operation panel. The normal mode will be resumed when the machine receives any
printing task.
Initial setting
Upon the startup of the machine, or when the [CLEAR] key ( )is pressed twice, or when it has been left
untouched for 1 minute after finishing a task, the machine will be restored to its initial settings.
Copy ratio: 100%, Exposure:3
Copy count: 0, All special copier modes: OFF

LOADING PAPER
When there is no paper on the feed tray, the "paper required" indicator ( ) will be on.
The output tray must be expanded before normal copying or printing operations, otherwise, the machine will not
warm up.

When printing a large amount of copies or using the 80g/m2 paper, empty the output tray every time when 10 sheets have been
printed. Otherwise, a pile-up error may occur.

Please observe the following standards when using special paper.
● When using paper not recommended by SHARP, please operate in single-sheet mode (do not try to
perform continuous copying or printing)
● There are many types of special paper, some of which cannot be used in this machine. Before using
special paper, please contact the authorized service department.
● Before using paper not recommended by SHARP, please carry out a copying test to check if it is suitable.

Print side face up
Load the paper with the print side face up according to the paper type.
Paper that cannot be used
BEFORE USING THE MACHINE
• Special media for inkjet printers (fine paper, glossy
paper, glossy film, etc.)
• Carbon paper or thermal paper
• Irregularly shaped paper
• Pasted paper, stapled paper, paper with clips
• Damp paper
Non-recommended paper
• Iron-on transfer paper

another printer or multifunctional device
• Various types of plain paper and special media are sold. Some types cannot be used with the machine. Contact your
dealer or nearest authorised service representative for advice on using these types of paper.
• The image quality and toner fusibility of paper may change due to ambient conditions, operating conditions, and paper
characteristics, resulting in image quality inferior to that of SHARP standard paper. Contact your dealer or nearest
authorised service representative for advice on using these types of paper.
• The use of non-recommended or prohibited paper may result in skewed feeding, misfeeds, poor toner fusing (the toner
does not adhere to the paper well and can be rubbed off), or machine failure. Before using non-recommended paper,
check if printing can be performed properly.
• Paper with folds marks, torn paper or curled paper
• Paper with a wave-like pattern due to moisture
absorption
• Transparent film
• Thin paper less than 56g/m

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE
PAPER FEEDING
Ensure that the machine is not printing or copying, and carry out paper feeding according to the following steps.
Feeding the feed tray
Expand the feed tray.
1
Adjust the paper guide to the proper
2
position according to the paper size.
Load the paper onto the feed tray.
3
Place the paper completely on the
4
feed tray.
5
Note
• In the case of a misfeed, tidy the paper and
reload it.
• Flatten curled paper before using it.
• When loading the paper, align with the
proper position on the paper guide.
• When misfeed occurs, rotate the paper 180
degrees and reload.
Note
Open the paper package,
flip the paper fully, and
then load into the tray.
• The loaded paper cannot exceed the limit of
the paper guide (max. 40 pieces).
• Do not add paper onto the loaded paper.
Otherwise, several pieces of paper will be
fed into the machine at one time.
• To add paper, remove the paper remaining
on the feed tray and combine them into one
stack before loading. The size and type of
the added paper shall be consistent with
the previous one.
• Do not use paper smaller than the size of
the original. Otherwise folding or an
incomplete image may be resulted in.
• Do not use paper that has been printed by
another printer or multifunction device.
Otherwise, a folded or corrupted image
may be resulted in.
• When printing on the reverse side of
previously printed paper, the paper must be
loaded one sheet at a time. Loading more
than one sheet at a time may cause
misfeeds or dirty.
