COPIER INSTALLATION

GETTING STARTED

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

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.

Copier installation

Do not install your copier in areas that are:

●

damp, humid, or very dusty

●

exposed to direct sunlight

●

poorly ventilated

●

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 level 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.

4" (10 cm)

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

GETTING STARTEDGETTING STARTED

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 35.

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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Power save modes

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.

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

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 36.

●

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.

Using the SPF

SINGLE PASS FEEDER (AR-SP2)

●

Be sure to remove any staples or paper clips from the originals.

●

Damaged or crumpled originals may misfeed in the SPF. It is recommended that these originals be copied from the original table.

●

Before placing curled or wavy originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to flatten them. If not, original misfeeds may result.

●

For best feeding of originals which have binding holes punched into them, insert them so that the holes are positioned to the right or along the side guides.

●

Special originals such as transparency film and tracing paper should not be fed through the SPF but should be copied from the original table.

Stream feeding mode

If the stream feeding mode has been enabled using user program No. 4, the SPF indicator will continue to blink for approximately 5 seconds after feeding of all originals is completed. While this indicator is blinking, any new originals placed in the SPF will be fed and copied automatically. See page 35, USER PROGRAMS.

Ensure that no original is left on the original table.

Adjust the original guides to the size of the originals.

Set the originals face up in the document feeder tray.

●

The SPF indicator will light up. If this indicator does not light up, the originals are not properly set or the SPF is not properly closed.

Ensure that the copy paper size in the paper tray is the same size as the originals.

Press the START key.

●

Since only one copy per original can be made, the number of copies cannot be changed.

●

Press the CLEAR key to stop copying in the middle of a run.

Section 4. Hazardous Identification (Emergency Overview)

Toner 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 rats 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. Moreover, a two-year cancer bioassay using a typical toner preparation 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 was 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 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.
