Protective pins

CAUTION tape

3 Push gently on both sides of the front cover to open the cover.

4 Remove the TD cartridge from the bag. Remove the protective paper. Hold the cartridge on both sides and shake it horizontally four or five times. Hold the tab of the protective cover and pull the tab to your side to remove the cover.

4 or 5 times

10

5 Gently insert the TD cartridge until it locks in place while pushing the lock release button.

6	Close the front cover and then	2
	the side cover by pressing the

round projections near the side cover open button.

When closing the covers, be sure to close the front cover securely and then close the side cover. If the covers are closed in the wrong order, the covers may be damaged.

11

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.

If you use the unit in a country other than the country where the unit was purchased, you will need to make sure that your local power supply is compatible with your model. If you plug the unit into an incompatible power supply, irreparable damage to the unit will result.

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

• 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.

12

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.

2

"0" is displayed in the display.

When copying is begun in this state, the settings in the following table are used.

Copy quantity	1 copy
Exposure adjustment	AUTO
Zoom	100%
Tray	Paper tray 1
Two-sided copy	The "Original to copy" indicator does
	not illuminate.(One-sided copy is
	selected.)

Power off methods

If not used for a certain period of time, the unit will automatically enter auto power shut-off mode (p.54) in order to minimize power consumption. In cases where the machine will not be used for a long time, turn off the power switch and remove the power cord from the outlet.

13

3	LOADING PAPER

Follow the steps below to load paper into the tray.

PAPER

For best results, use only paper recommended by SHARP.

	Type of paper	Type of media		Size	Weight
	feeding
	Paper tray 1	Standard paper		Letter (8-1/2" x 11")	15 lbs. to 21 lbs.
	Paper tray 2			Legal (8-1/2" x 14")	(56g/m2 to
				Invoice (5-1/2" x 8-1/2")	80g/m2)
	Multi-bypass	Standard paper and		Letter (8-1/2" x 11")	14 lbs. to 34.5
	tray	thick paper		Legal (8-1/2" x 14")	lbs.**
				Invoice (5-1/2" x 8-1/2")	(52g/m2 to
					128g/m2)
		Special	Transparency	Letter (8-1/2" x 11")
		media	film
			Envelope*	Commercial 10
				(4-1/8" x 9-1/2")
				Monarch
				(3-7/8" x 7-1/2")

*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. These will cause physical damage to the unit.

**For paper weighing from 28 to 34.5 lbs. (105g/m2 to 128g/m2), 8-1/2" x 11" is the maximum size that can be fed through the multi-bypass tray.

•Special papers such as transparency film, labels and envelopes must be fed one sheet at a time through the multi-bypass tray.

14

LOADING THE PAPER TRAY 1 and 2

1 Raise the handle of the paper tray and pull the paper tray out until it stops.

2 Remove the pressure plate lock. Rotate the pressure plate lock in the direction of the arrow to remove it while pressing down the pressure plate of the paper tray.

3

3 Store the pressure plate lock which has been removed in step 2. To store the pressure plate lock, rotate the lock to fix it on the relevant location.

Pressure plate lock

4 Adjust the paper guides on the paper tray to the copy paper width and length. Squeeze the lever of paper guide A and slide the guide to match with the width of the paper. Move paper guide B to the appropriate slot as marked on the tray.

	Paper	Paper
	guide B
		guide A

15

5 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.

6 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.

16

BYPASS FEED (including special paper)

The multi-bypass tray can be used to feed standard paper, transparency film, labels, envelopes, and other special purpose paper. Paper measuring from 3-1/2" x 5-1/2" to 8-1/2" x 14" and in the weight range of 14 lbs. to 34.5 lbs. (52g/m2 to 128g/m2) can be used in this tray. (For paper weighing from 28 lbs. to 34.5 lbs. (105g/m2 to 128g/m2), 8-1/2" x 11" is the maximum size.)

• The multi-bypass tray can hold maximum of 50 sheets of paper. (Capacity will vary depending on the type of paper loaded.)

• 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	3
1 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.

17

2 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.

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

Note for loading envelopes

•Envelopes must be fed narrow side into the feed slot 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 when copied/printed.

•Use only envelopes which are flat and crisply folded. Curled or poorly formed envelopes may be poorly 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 print before performing the actual copy/ print job.
