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.

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)

• 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 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

Auto paper selection: On, Paper feed station: The tray selected in the "Default tray setting" in the system settings. (p.37)

*1 A5 can be used in the upper paper tray but cannot be used in other trays (including trays in optional paper feeding unit). *2 When making a large number of copies or prints using 90 g/m2 paper, remove the output from the paper output tray when

about 100 pages have been printed. The output may not stack correctly if more than 100 pages are allowed to accumulate. *3 The 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.

The exposure level used in automatic exposure adjustment can also be changed. ("ADJUSTING THE AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE LEVEL" (p.35))

Original types

● AUTO......Automatic exposure adjustment is enabled and the exposure is automatically adjusted according to the original being copied. The exposure is lowered for coloured areas and background shadows.

SELECTING THE TRAY

Auto paper select mode (p.17) normally operates (unless it has been disabled), and thus when the original is placed on the document glass and the original size is selected, or when the original is placed in the SPF, the tray with the same size of paper as the original is automatically selected. If you wish to use a tray other than the automatically selected tray (for example you wish to enlarge or reduce the copy or use the bypass tray), press the [PAPER SELECT] key ( ) to select the desired tray.

• If the desired PAPER SIZE indicator does not light up, change the paper in the tray to the desired paper size. Note (p.12)

•Automatic ratio selection (p.19) does not operate when the bypass tray or a tray set for a special paper size is selected.

Auto tray switching (when there are two or more paper trays)

If the tray runs out of paper during copying and there is another tray with the same size of paper and the same feeding orientation (horizontal or vertical), the other tray is automatically selected and copying continues. "Auto tray switching" can be disabled in the system settings (p.36).
