Ensure that the power switch of

the unit is in the OFF position. Insert the attached power cord into the power cord socket at the rear of the unit.

Plug the other end of the power cord into the nearest outlet.

Only insert the power cord into a properly grounded wall socket. Do not use extension cords or power strips.

Power on

Ensure that the power switch of the unit is in the OFF position. Plug the other end of the power cord into the nearest outlet. Turn the power switch on the left side of the unit to the "ON" position. The start ( ) indicator will light up and other indicators which show the initial settings of the operation panel will also light up to indicate the ready condition. For the initial settings, see the "Initial settings of operation panel" described on the next page.

• The unit will enter a power save mode once the set time has elapsed without any unit operation. The settings of the power save modes can be modified. See "USER PROGRAMS" (p.55).

• The unit will return to the initial settings a preset amount of time after the end of copy or scanner job. The preset amount of time (auto clear time) can be changed. See "USER PROGRAMS" (p.55).

About the scan head

The scan head lamp remains on constantly when the unit is in the ready condition (when the start ( ) indicator is illuminated). The unit adjusts the scan head lamp periodically to maintain copying quality. At this time, the scan head moves automatically. This is normal and does not indicate unit trouble.

Initial settings of operation panel

When the unit power is on, the operation panel will revert to the initial settings when the time set with the "Auto clear time" setting (p.55) elapses after a copy or scanner job is finished, or when the clear ( ) key is pressed twice. The initial settings of the operation panel are shown below.

Pressure plate lock

Adjust the paper guides on the paper tray to the copy paper

width and length. Squeeze the lever of paper guide and slide the guide to match with the width of the paper. Move paper guide to the appropriate slot as marked on the tray.

Paper guide B

Paper guide A

Fan the paper and insert it into the tray. Make sure the edges go

under the corner hooks.

Do not load paper above the maximum height line ( ). Exceeding the line will cause a paper misfeed.

Gently push the paper tray back into the unit.

• After loading paper, to cancel the blinking without restarting copying, press the clear ( ) key. The in the display will go out and the start ( ) indicator will light up.

• Be sure that paper is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges.

• Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.

• When loading paper, ensure there is no space between the paper and

the guide, and check if the guide is not set too narrow causing the paper to bend. Loading paper in these ways will result in document skew or a paper jam.

• When not using the unit for an extended period, remove all paper from the paper tray and store it in a dry place. If paper is left in the unit for an extended period, the paper will absorb moisture from the air, resulting in paper jams.

• When adding new paper to the paper tray, remove the old paper already contained in the tray. Placing new paper on top of the paper already contained in the tray may result in feeding two sheets at one time.

BYPASS FEED (including special paper)

The multi-bypass tray (AL-1457D, AL-1555) or the single bypass (AL-1217D) can be used to feed standard paper, transparency film, labels, envelopes, and other special purpose paper. Paper measuring from A6 to A4 and in the weight range of 52g/m2 to 128g/m2 can be used in this tray. (For paper weighing from 104

• The multi-bypass tray (AL-1457D, AL-1555) can hold maximum of 50

sheets of paper. (Capacity will vary depending on the type of paper loaded.) The single bypass (AL-1217D) can hold one sheet of paper.

• The original image must be smaller than the paper or media for copying. If the original image is bigger than the paper or media, this may cause smudges on the edges of the copies.

The multi-bypass tray (AL-1457D, AL-1555)

Open the multi-bypass tray and extend the tray.

To close the multibypass tray, perform step 1 and then step 2 in the illustration and push the round projections at the right of the tray until they click.

/m2 to 128g/m2, A4 is the maximum size.)

Set the paper guides to the paper width. Insert the paper (print

face down) all the way into the multi-bypass tray.

Print face

• Paper must be fed narrow side into the feed slot. Special papers such as transparency film ,labels and envelopes

•

must be fed one sheet at a time through the multi-bypass tray.

• When copying onto transparency film, remove each copy promptly. Do not let copies stack up.

Press the tray select ( ) key to select the multi-bypass tray.

The single bypass (AL-1217D)

• If you insert a sheet of paper into the single bypass when multiple copies have been set with the copy quantity setting (p.49), the copy quantity setting will change to "0" and only one copy will be made.

• When copying onto transparency film, remove each copy promptly. Do not let copies stack up.

• Envelopes must be fed narrow side into the feed slot one at a time.

• Do not use non-standard envelopes, and envelopes that have metal clasps, plastic snappers, string closures, windows, linings, self-adhesive, patches or synthetic materials. Do not use envelopes that are filled with air or envelopes that have labels or stamps attached.

• Envelopes of which the surface is not flat because of embossing may cause the copies/prints to become smudged.

• Under high humidity and temperature conditions the glue flaps on some envelopes may become sticky and be sealed closed when copied/printed.

• Use only envelopes which are flat and crisply folded. Curled or poorly formed envelopes may be poorly copied/printed or may cause misfeeds.

• Be sure to select either Com10, DL, C5 or Monarch on the paper size setting of the printer driver. (For detailed information on printer driver, refer to the online manual.)

• It is recommended that you perform a test copy/print before performing the actual copied/printed job.

This chapter explains basic and other copying functions. The unit is equipped with a one-page memory buffer. This memory allows the unit to scan an original once only and make up to 99 copies. This feature improves workflow, reduces operation noise from the copier, and provides higher reliability by reducing wear and tear on the scanning mechanism.

If the unit does not function properly during use, or if a function cannot be used, see "TROUBLESHOOTING THE UNIT" (p.61).

MAKING COPIES

COPY FLOW

1 Make sure that paper has been loaded in the paper tray (p.15)

or multi-bypass tray (p.17), and check the paper size (p.14).

If paper is not loaded, see page 15. If you are using the single bypass, check the paper size and then proceed to the next step without loading paper.

2 Place the original.

If you are using the original table, see "Using the original table" (p.47). If you are using the SPF, see "Using the SPF/RSPF" (p.48). When copying onto paper larger than A4, pull out the paper output tray extension.

3 Select the copy settings.

If you wish to copy using the initial settings (p.13), proceed to the next step. To set the number of copies, see page 49. To adjust the resolution and contrast settings, see page 49. To enlarge or reduce the copy, see page 51. To change the tray used, see page 51. (AL-1457D, AL-1555)

To print on both sides of the paper, see page 52.

Press the start ( ) key.

If you are using the single bypass

Do not press the start ( ) key. Insert a sheet of paper into the single bypass. (Page 18)

Multiple copies are not possible using the single bypass.

Do not insert paper in the single bypass when a copy job from the paper tray is in progress. This will cause a misfeed.

• If you start a print job while a copy job is in progress, the print job will begin when the copy job is completed.

• The scanning function cannot be used while a copy job is in progress.

About interrupt copying

If you press the start ( ) key to begin a copy job while a print job using the paper tray or multi-bypass tray is in progress, the copy job will begin automatically after the print data in the unit's memory is printed (interrupt copying). When this is done, the print data remaining in the computer is not sent to the unit. When the copy job ends, press the clear ( ) key twice, or press the ON LINE key once to change the unit to the online state (p.32), or wait until the set auto clear time (p.55) elapses. The remaining print data will be sent to the unit and printing will resume. Interrupt copying is not possible during a print job using the single bypass.

ORIGINAL PLACEMENT

Using the original table

• The original table can read up to A4 original.

• Image loss 4mm can occur at the leading and trailing edges of the

copies. Also image loss 4.5mm in total can occur along the other edges of the copies. It can be 6 mm (max.) at the trailing edge of the second copy of two-sided copying.

• When copying a book or an original which has been folded or a crumpled original, press down the original cover lightly. If the original cover is not securely closed, the copies may be striped or blurred.

• The original cover can be simply lifted straight up and reattached to allow copying of a large original (AL-1217D)

ВНИМАНИЕ!

Благодарим Вас за приобретение копировального аппарата фирмы SHARP. Прежде, чем Вы начнете работать, пожалуйста, прочтите следующие рекомендации.

1. Что такое техническое обслуживание?

Дла того, чтобы всегда получать хорошие копии, аппарат требует соответствующего обслуживания квалифицированным сервисным инженером. Для чего нужно техническое обслуживание? Фотопроводящий барабан, проявитель и другие установленные в аппарате части имеют собственные сроки службы и должны быть заменены новыми по достижении конца срока службы. Кроме того, если Вы делаете копии длительное время, некоторые детали аппарата изнашиваются и внутри может накапливаться пыль. Поэтому аппарат нуждается в профилактическом обслуживании, в процессе которого специалист по сервису заменяет части или проверяет, регулирует и очищает аппарат, что позволит изготовлять хорошие копии стабильного качества. Цикл обслуживания является различным для разных моделей копировальных аппаратов.

2. Система обслуживания и регистрации покупки

Пожалуйста, тщательно расспросите Вашего дилера о системе обслуживания и об условиях гарантии, которая распространяется на Вас, а также спросите о местонахождении ближайшего к Вам сервисного центра. Для того, чтобы Вам было просто сообщить данные об аппарате в случае появления неисправности, пожалуйста, сохраняйте талон регистрации покупки, который просите обязательно заполнить при получении аппарата.

Внимание

•

Если Вы используете часть памяти компьютера в качестве RAM, распределение памяти для драйвера принтера может оказаться недостаточным. В этом случае необходимо уменьшить объем RAM или не использовать ее вообще. Более подробные сведения содержатся в документации Вашей ОС Windows.

•

Установлен ли уже другой драйвер принтера GDI или системный драйвер печати Windows? Если да, измените установку порта принтера. Об изменении этой установки смотрите в разделе "ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ ДРУГИХ УСТАНОВЛЕННЫХ ДРАЙВЕРОВ" (стр. 44).
