COPIER INSTALLATION

GETTING STARTED

Copier installation

Improper installation may damage the copier. Please note the following during initial installation and whenever the copier is moved.

Do not install your copier in areas that are:

●

damp, humid, or very dusty

●

exposed to direct sunlight

●

poorly ventilated

If the copier is moved from a cool place to a warm place, condensation may form inside the copier. Operation in this condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave the copier at room temperature for at least 2 hours before use.

●

subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air conditioner or heater.

The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection.

Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the specified voltage and current requirements. Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.

Connect the copier to a power outlet which is not used for other electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is connected to the same outlet, the light may flicker.

Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing and proper ventilation.

A small amount of ozone is produced within the copier during operation. The emission le vel is insufficient to cause any health hazard.

NOTE:

The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m3) calculated as an 8 hr. time-weighted average concentration. However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable odor, it is advisable to place the copier in a ventilated area.

GENERAL INFORMATION

POWER SAVE MODES

The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption thereby reduce the cost of operation. In addition, these modes conserve natural resources and help reduce environmental pollution. The two power save modes are preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode.

●

User programs The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time have been preset at the factory to 90 sec. for preheat mode and 30 min. for auto power shut-off mode. These times can be changed using user programs. It is suggested that you set appropriate times according to the actual usage of the copier. (See page 32.)

Preheat mode

When the copier enters the preheat mode, the POWER SAVE ( ) indicator will light up and other indicators will remain on or off as before. In this condition, the fuser in the copier is maintained at a lower heat level, thereby saving power. The preheat level is, however, high enough to allow the copier to come to a ready condition or begin copying within 10 seconds after any key input or copier operation such as paper tray operation is performed.

Power save modes

GENERAL INFORMATION

As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.

Auto power shut-off mode

If the auto power shut-off mode is enabled, the copier will automatically turn off the power once a programmed length of time has elapsed without any copier operation after the last copy of a run is made or the power is first turned on. The power switch will automatically be turned to the “OFF” position. To turn the power back on, simply turn the power switch to the “ON” position.

POWER SAVE MODES

Setting the power save modes

The time that elapses before the copier enters a power save mode after any operation is made can be set manually. This time is set with user program No. 2 for the preheat mode and user program No. 3 for the auto power shut-off mode. For these settings, see page 32.

●

The copier will enter the preheat mode first and then the auto power shutoff mode after a preset time has elapsed when no copier operation has been made.

●

If conflicting settings are made with user programs No. 3 and No.5, the last program set will have priority.

Copying from the preheat mode

Make desired copier selections and press the START ( ) key using the normal copying procedure.

●

When any key input is made or any other copier operation is made, the POWER SAVE ( ) indicator will start to blink.

●

When the START ( ) key is pressed, the START key ( ) indicator will go out and copying will start within 10 seconds. The POWER SAVE ( ) indicator will go out when copying starts.

Section 4. Hazardous Identification (Emergency Overview)

T oner is a fine , black powder possessing no immediate hazard. There are no anticipated carcinogenic effects from exposure based on animal tests performed using toner . When used as intended according to instructions, studies do not indicate any symptoms of fibrosis will occur.

Section 5. Health Hazard Data

Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation? Skin? Ingestion?

Yes No Possible but very unusual.

Health Hazards: Acute oral toxicity-------- LDL0 of this toner is over 2,000mg/kg.

Mutagenicity --------------The result of Ames test is negative.

Carcinogenicity: In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human

carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for which there is inadequate human evidence, but sufficient animal evidence on which to base an opinion of carcinogenicity. The classification is based upon the development of lung tumors in r ats receiving chronic inhalation exposures to free carbon black at levels that induce particle overload of the lung. Studies performed in animal models other than rats did not show any association between carbon black and lung tumors. Moreo ver , a two-year cancer bioassay using a typical toner prepar ation containing carbon black demonstrated no association between toner exposure and tumor development in rats.

Chronic Effect:: In a study in rats of chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to moderate degree

of lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of the rats in the high concentration (16mg/m3) exposure group, and a minimal to mild degree of fibrosis w as noted in 22% of the animals in the middle (4mg/m3) exposure group, but no pulmonary change was reported in the lowest (1mg/m3) exposure group, the most relevant level to potential human exposures.

Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Minimal irritation to respiratory tract may occur as with exposure to any

non-toxic dust.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: None Emergency and First Aid Procedures:

Inhalation; Remove to fresh air. If effects occur, consult medical personnel. Eye; In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with water for 15 minutes.

Section 6. Physical Chemical Characteristics

Boiling / Melting Point: Not applicable Specific Gravity: 1.1 Vapor Pressure: Not applicable Solubility in Water: Negligible Vapor Density: Not applicable PH: Not applicable Evaporation Rate: Not applicable Viscosity: Not applicable Appearance: Fine powder Color: Black Odor: Odorless

Section 7. Fire and Explosion Data

Flash Point (Method Used): Not applicable Ignition Temperature: >350°C Flammable Limits: (LEL); Not applicable (UEL); Not applicable Extinguishing Media: CO2, dry chemical, foam or water Special Fire Fighting Procedure: None Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazard: This material has no unusual fire or explosion hazards. Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: None Sensitivity to Static Charge: None

Section 8. Reactivity Data

Stability: Stable Incompatibility (Material to Avoid): None Hazardous Decomposition: CO and NOx Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.

Section 9. Precautions for Safe Handling and Use

Personal Protection Information (Respiratory, Eye Protection and Protective Glove):

Use of a dust mask is recommended when handling a large quantity of toner or during long term exposure, as with any non-toxic dust.

Engineering Control / Ventilation: Not required. Work / Hygienic Practice: Inhalation should be minimized as with any non-toxic dust. Steps to be taken in case of Spill or Leak: Sweep up or clean up with vacuum cleaner. Waste Disposal Method: Waste material may be dumped or incinerated under conditions

which meet all federal, state and local environmental regulations .

Section 4. Hazardous Identification (Emergency Overview)

Developer is a black powder containing small amounts of toner, and possessing no immediate hazard. There are no anticipated carcinogenic effects from exposure based on animal tests performed using toner.

Section 5. Health Hazard Data

Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation? Skin? Ingestion?

No No Possible but very unusual.

Health Hazards: Acute oral toxicity------------ LDL0 of this toner which is included in this developer is over

2,000mg/kg.

Mutagenicity ------------------ The toner, which is included in this developer , has been tested on

Ames test. The result is negative.

Carcinogenicity: In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human

carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for which there is inadequate human evidence, but sufficient animal evidence on which to base an opinion of carcinogenicity. The classification is based upon the development of lung tumors in r ats receiving chronic inhalation exposures to free carbon black at levels that induce particle overload of the lung. Studies performed in animal models other than rats did not show any association between carbon black and lung tumors. While there have been no studies to date using developer, a two-year cancer bioassay using a typical toner preparation containing carbon black (a small amount of toner is included in the developer mixture) demonstrated no association between toner exposure and tumor development in rats.

Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Minimal irritation to respiratory tract may occur as with exposure to any

non-toxic dust.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: None Emergency and First Aid Procedures:

Inhalation; Remove to fresh air. If effects occur, consult medical personnel. Eye; In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with water for 15 minutes.
