MAIN FEATURES

Laser printer able to accept a range of peripherals allowing it to be configured to specific needs

This product is a laser printer that can be used as a local printer which can be configured by the addition of peripheral devices to extend its capabilities to include copier, network printer, network scanner or facsimile features.

A range of optional units to enhance productivity

Optional additions such as duplex units for producing two-sided output, additional paper feed units to increase the variety of available paper sizes and paper capacity, paper output units to sort and otherwise organize the output and a scanner module for automatically scanning documents.

600 dpi high resolution printing

High-definition and high quality printing with 600 dpi resolution can be performed. Also high image quality equivalent to 1200 dpi can be output by using a smoothing function.

High speed monochrome printing

Depending upon the model chosen, high speed printing at 35 letter (A4) size pages/minute or 45 letter (A4) size pages/minute is available.

PostScript compatible

Installation of a PS3 expansion kit gives PostScript compatibility (PostScript level 3).

Energy saving features

This product has the following two power reducing modes that conform to the Energy Star guidelines which help to conserve natural resources and reduce environmental pollution.

Preheat mode

The preheat mode is the first level of power reduction. The power is reduced to the fuser unit a preset time after the machine has completed a job and no further machine operations have been made. The machine can recover to the ready condition within a short period of time. The preset time to enter the mode can be set by a key operator program.

Auto power shut-off mode

The auto power shut-off mode is the second level of power reduction. In this mode power is shut off to the fusing unit and the touch panel. In this state more energy is saved than in the preheat mode but the time to recover to the ready condition will be longer. The preset time to enter this mode can be set by a key operator program.

When this product is used as a printer, and either of the above modes is active, the mode will be deactivated automatically by an incoming job and the machine will automatically warm up and start to print when it has reached the ready temperature. When this product is configured for multi-function operation, and either of the above modes is active, the mode will be deactivated as above by either an incoming print job or received facsimile data. Either mode will also be deactivated by any key operation on the operation panel or by the action of an original being placed for copying or facsimile transmission.

ENERGY STAR

As an Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets the

ENERGY STAR

guidelines for energy efficiency.
