COPIER INSTALLATION

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

Be careful in handling the copier as follows to maintain the performance of this copier.

Do not drop the copier, subject it to shock or strike it against any object.

Store spare toner cartridges in a cool dry place without removing from the package before use.

If they are exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat, poor copies may result.

GETTING STARTED

Cautions on handling

Do not touch the photoconductive drum (green portion).

Scratches or smudges on the drum will cause dirty copies.

GETTING STARTED

Maximum height line

To save space, this copier has been designed with an adjustable front-loading tray, which is easily opened for paper loading. For best results, use only SHARP recommended paper. (See page 60.) The paper required ( ) indicator will light up when there is no copy paper in the selected paper feed station, or when the selected paper tray is not installed or is improperly installed.

When the paper size is changed in a paper tray, the size

Loading copy paper

of the paper must be entered by steps 8 through 11 on page 12. If not, the edges of copies may become smudged with toner. Also, the AUTO PAPER SELECT and the AUTO IMAGE features will not function properly.

Gently lift and pull out the paper tray until it stops.

LOADING COPY PAPER

Push the pressure plate down until it locks in place.

Fan the copy paper and insert it into the tray. Make sure the edges go under the corner hooks.

●

If you change to a different size of copy paper, the tray must be adjusted. See the next page.

●

Set the paper along the guides.

●

The tray holds up to 250 sheets of 21 lb. bond paper. Do not load paper above the maximum height line.

NORMAL COPYING

Power on

Using the SPF

This copier has two document input stations –– a single pass feeder (SPF) for automatic document feeding and an original table for manual handling of bound documents. The SPF is designed to hold up to 30 originals measuring from 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 11" x 17" and in the weight range of 15 to 24 lbs.

●

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

●

MAKING COPIES

Normal copying

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 46, USER PROGRAMS.
