POWER SAVE MODES

The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption thereby reducing 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 38.

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.

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.

●

If an optional printer expansion kit or facsimile expansion kit is installed and this mode is enabled, the POWER SAVE indicator will light up and all other indicators will go out. The auto power shut-off mode saves more power but requires a longer time to warm up before copying can begin.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Power save modes

Page 4

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 39.

●

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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Power save modes

Copying from the preheat mode

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

●

ELECTRONIC SORTING KIT (AR-EB3)

If an electronic sorting kit (AR-EB3) is installed, the copier can perform several additional useful functions. These functions are 2 in 1 and 4 in 1, erase, margin shift, and sort/group functions. Also, rotation copying can be performed and a multiple number of originals can be scanned and stored into the memory. The memory can be expanded by adding commercially available memories recommended by SHARP. For details, contact your dealer.

To use the 2 in 1 or 4 in 1 and sort/group functions, an optional single pass feeder (AR-SP2) or reversing single pass feeder (AR-RP1) is needed. When installing an electronic sorting kit, it is recommended to install a single pass feeder or reversing single pass feeder.

Rotation copying

If user program No. 7 is set, the image of the original will rotate when the orientation of the original does not match that of the copy paper. Rotation copying will function only if the auto paper select mode or AUTO IMAGE mode has been selected. Even if user program No. 7 is not set, rotation copying will function when the 2 in 1 or 4 in 1 function is selected. See page

38. However, if enlargement copying onto a paper size larger than A4 is performed, the image cannot be rotated. When this occurs, the detected size and orientation of the original will be indicated by a steadily lighted indicator and a flashing indicator will show the required orientation of the original. The original must be rotated 90° to match

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. Moreov er, a tw o-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 r ats 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 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 dev eloper , 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 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. 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.
