POWER ON AND OFF
The power switch is located on the left side of the machine.
POWER ON
Turn the power switch to the "ON"
position.
It will take about 45
seconds for the machine
to warm up. While the
machine is warming up,
the POWER SAVE
indicator ( ) will blink.
(The POWER SAVE
indicator ( ) will go off
when the machine is
ready to copy.)
However, you can make desired settings and press
the [START] key ( ) during warm-up. Copying will
start after warm-up.
• The machine reverts to the initial settings when it is first turned on, when the [CLEAR ALL] key ( ) is pressed,
Note
or when no keys are pressed for the preset "Auto clear" time following the end of a copy job. When the machine
reverts to the initial settings, all settings and functions selected to that point are cancelled. The "Auto clear" time
can be changed in the user settings. (p.36)
• The machine is initially set to automatically enter power save mode if not used for copying or printing, for a
preset period of time. This setting can be changed in the system settings. (p.36)
POWER OFF
Make sure that the machine is not in
operation and then turn the power switch
to the "OFF" position.
If the power switch is
turned off while the
machine is in operation,
a misfeed may occur and
the job that was in
progress will be
cancelled.
Check the following to make sure the machine is not in
operation:
• The START indicator is lit. (Initial state)
• The POWER SAVE indicator ( ) is lit. ("Preheat
mode" or "Auto power shut-off" mode)
Power save modes
The machine 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".
Preheat mode
This function automatically switches the machine to a low power consumption state if the set duration of time
elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. The POWER SAVE indicator ( ) lights up,
however, the keys on the operation panel can be used. Normal operation automatically resumes when a key on the
operation panel is pressed, an original is placed, or a print job is received.
Auto power shut-off mode
This function automatically switches the machine to a state that consumes even less power than preheat mode if the
set duration of time elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. All lights except the POWER
SAVE indicator ( ) and ON LINE indicator go off. To resume normal operation, press the [START] key ( ).
Normal operation also resumes automatically when a print job is received. While in auto power shut-off mode, no
keys (except the [START] key ( )) can be used.
Note
The preheat activation time and the "Auto power shut-off timer" can be changed using system settings. It is
suggested that you set times that are appropriate for your usage of the machine. (p.36)
Initial settings
The machine assumes the initial settings when it is first turned on, when the [CLEAR ALL] key ( ) is pressed,
and approximately one minute after the last copy is made in any mode.
Copy ratio: 100%, Exposure: Automatic
Copy quantity: 0, All special copier modes: Off

The paper required indicator ( ) will light up when there is no copy paper in the selected paper feed tray, or when
the selected paper tray is not installed or is improperly installed.

about 100 pages have been printed. The output may not stack correctly if more than 100 pages are allowed to accumulate.
*3The number of sheets of the paper which can be set changes with the weight of a paper.
Special papers
Follow these guidelines when using special papers.
● Use SHARP recommended transparency film and label sheets. Using other than SHARP recommended
paper may result in misfeeds or smudges on the output. If other than SHARP recommended media must
be used, feed each sheet one at a time using the bypass tray (do not attempt continuous copying or
printing).
● There are many varieties of special paper available on the market, and some cannot be used with this
machine. Before using special paper, contact your authorised service representative.
● Before using other than SHARP recommended paper, make a test copy to see if the paper is suitable.

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE
LOADING PAPER
Make sure that the machine is not copying or printing, and then follow these steps to load paper.
Loading the paper tray
Gently lift and pull out the paper tray
1
until it stops.
Push the pressure plate down until it
2
locks in place.
Push the centre of the
pressure plate down until
it locks into place.
Load paper into the tray.
3
• Open the package of
the paper and load it
without fanning the
paper.
• Make sure the stack of
paper is straight before
loading it.
Gently push the paper tray into the
4
machine.
Note
• If you loaded a different size of paper than
was loaded previously in the tray, go to
"CHANGING A TRAY'S PAPER SIZE
SETTING" (p.12).
• When misfeed occurs, rotate the paper 180
degrees and reload it.
• Straighten curled paper before using it.
10
Note
Make sure that the paper
fits under the tabs on the
right side of the tray.
• Do not load paper higher than the line on
the tray (up to 250 sheets).
• Do not add paper to the loaded paper. It
may cause multiple feed of paper.
• A5 can be used in the upper paper tray but
cannot be used in other trays (including
trays in optional paper feeding unit).
Loading the bypass tray
BEFORE USING THE MACHINE
Unfold the bypass tray.

When feeding large
paper such as B4 and
A3, pull out the bypass
tray extension.
Set the paper guides to the copy

the way into the bypass tray.
To prevent a misfeed,
verify once more that the
paper guides are
adjusted to the width of
the paper.
Note
• If you loaded paper in the bypass tray,
press the [PAPER SELECT] key ( ) to
select the bypass tray. The bypass tray will
not be selected automatically.
If you set thick paper in the bypass tray, hold
•
down the [TRAY SETTING] key ( ) for
more than 5 seconds, use the [PAPER
SELECT] key ( ) to select the bypass tray,
and press [AUTO IMAGE] key ( ).
When [AUTO IMAGE] key ( ) lights
up, the paper type is set to thick paper.

Important points when inserting paper in the bypass tray
• Up to 100 sheets of standard copy paper can be set in the bypass tray.
• Be sure to place A6 or A5 size paper or envelopes horizontally as shown in the following diagram ( ).
Available
• When loading envelopes, make sure that they are straight and flat and do not have loosely glued construction flaps
(not the closure flap).
• Special papers except SHARP recommended transparency film, labels, and envelopes must be fed one sheet at a
time through the bypass tray.
• When adding paper, first remove any paper remaining in the tray, combine it with the paper to be added and then
reload as a single stack. The paper to be added must be the same size and type as the paper already in the tray.
• Do not use paper that is smaller than the original. This may cause smudges or unclean images.
• Do not use paper that has already been printed on by a laser printer or plain paper fax machine. This may cause
smudges or unclean images.

• Envelopes with rough fibres, carbon paper, or glossy surfaces.
• Envelopes with two or more flaps.
• Envelopes with tape, film, or paper attached to the flap.
• Envelopes with a fold in the flap.
• Envelopes with glue on the flap to be moistened for sealing.
• Envelopes with labels or stamps.
