MAIN FEATURES

Full-color copies with vivid colors based on digital technology

1

Photos, color text, and other originals are scanned by full-color CCD sensors, and the acquired image
information is output in vivid full color at a resolution of 600 dpi using digital image processing technology.
The machine can also be used as a full-color network printer, and network scanner.

A range of optional units to enhance productivity

2

A range of optional equipment is available to enhance productivity, such as duplex units for producing two-sided
output, additional paper feed units to increase the number of available paper sizes and paper capacity, and
paper output units that are capable of stapling and saddle stitch binding.

1-2

MAIN FEATURES

Advanced image processing features based on digital technology

3

The scanned image data is converted to digital data, enabling the following advanced image processing features:

●●●● Photo Repeat :

Up to 24 full-size copies of a photo image can be made on a single sheet of paper (page 6-18).

●●●● Multi shot :

Up to four original pages can be copied onto a single sheet (page 6-19).

●●●● Pamphlet copy* :

Copies of original pages are arranged in proper order for copying so that the copies can be center-stapled and
folded into a pamphlet (page 6-24).
* Pamphlet copy requires the Duplex module/2 x 500 sheet paper drawer and Duplex bypass/inverter unit

options. If a saddle stitch finisher is installed, copies can be stapled in two positions along the center of copies
and folded at the center.

Image processing manual exposure adjustment for optimal copying

4

Image processing is optimized for the type of original being copied (text, photo, mixed text and photo or map). This
along with the ability to manually adjust exposure makes it possible to obtain copies that are faithful to the original.

Standard offset function makes it easy to distinguish between sets of copies

5

As sets of copies are delivered to the center tray, each set is offset from the previous set for easy separation.

As an ENERGY STAR

®

ENERGY STAR

guidelines for energy efficiency.

Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets the

Energy saving features

This product has the following two power reducing modes to help conserve natural resources and reduce
environmental pollution.

Preheat mode

Preheat mode automatically reduces the temperature of the fusing unit after the time set in the key operator
programs elapses when the machine is on standby. This allows the machine to use less power while on
standby. The machine automatically returns to normal operation when a key is pressed on the operation
panel, or when an original is placed to make a copy or send a fax.

Auto power shut-off mode

Auto power shut-off mode automatically shuts off power to the fusing unit after the time set in the key
operator programs elapses when the machine is on standby. This minimizes the power used by the
machine while on standby. When this mode activates, the touch panel screen turns off.
To return the machine to normal operation, press the mode select key (the indicator of this key will be lit).
Auto power shut-off mode can be configured in the key operator programs. The mode is initially set (factory
default setting) to activate after 60 seconds elapses. (See page 9 of the key operator's guide.)

If a print job or fax is received while auto power shut-off mode or preheat mode is activated, the machine
automatically returns to normal operation.

The Environmental Choice Program guidelines are applied to the products only in Canada. The
products that meet the Environmental Choice Program guidelines carry the logo shown above.
The products without the logo may not meet the Environmental Choice Program guidelines.

LOADING PAPER

The message "ADD PAPER" or "OPEN TRAY AND ADD PAPER" will appear when paper runs out during operation.
Follow the procedure below to load paper.

NOTES

● Do not use curled or folded paper. Doing so may cause a misfeed.

● For best results use paper supplied by SHARP. (See pages 2-9, 2-17.)

● When you change the paper type and size in paper tray 1, you must change the paper type and size settings as

explained in "Setting the paper type" (page 2-11).

● Do not place heavy objects or press hard on any tray which is pulled out.

Loading paper in paper tray 1

Pull out paper tray 1.

1

Load paper into the tray.

2

Gently pull the tray out
until it stops.

Load a stack of paper no
higher than the indicator
line (about 500 sheets of
the recommended paper

standard paper (21 lbs.
or 80 g/m

2

)).

Gently push tray 1 into the machine.

3

Push the tray firmly all the way into the machine.

Set the paper type.

4

If you change the paper type, be sure to set the
paper type refer to "Setting the paper type" (page
2-11).

NOTE

If you load a different size of the same type of paper,
you only need to change the position of the size slide
(see step 2 below); you do not need to change the
paper type.

Loading paper in paper tray 1 is now

5

complete.

Changing the paper size in paper tray 1

The following paper size settings are available for paper tray1: 11" x 17" to 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" (A3 to A5), and "EXTRA"*1.
Use the following procedure to change the size as needed.

1

This is limited to square or rectangular paper, 11" x 17" to 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" (A3 to A5) size.

*

Pull out paper tray 1.

1

If paper remains in the tray, remove it.

Adjust the paper size slide to the paper

2

size.

Move the paper size
slide right or left to
indicate the paper size
being loaded.
If a special size paper is
loaded in the paper tray,
set the size slide to

"EXTRA" to inform the machine that a special size
paper has been loaded. (When AB-based size
paper is loaded, move the size slide to "EXTRA".)

2-2

Note that setting the size slide to "EXTRA" only
informs the machine that a special size of paper
has been loaded; it does not inform the machine of
the specific size. If you wish to inform the machine
of the specific size, follow the steps in "Setting the
paper size when an extra size is loaded" (page 2-

11). (If you do not set a size, part or all of the image
may not print.)

Adjust the guide plates A and B by

3

squeezing their lock levers and sliding
them to the paper size to be loaded.

The guide plates A and
B are slidable. Adjust
them to the paper size to
be loaded while
squeezing their lock
levers.

LOADING PAPER

Load paper into the tray.

4

Gently push tray 1 into the machine.

5

Push the tray firmly all
the way into the
machine.

NOTE

If the size slide position (step 2 of page 2-2) is not set correctly after changing the paper size, or if the paper type
(page 2-11) is not set correctly, incorrect paper selection or paper misfeeding may occur.

Set the paper type of the paper that was

6

loaded in the 1st tray.

If you loaded a different type of paper from the
previous paper, be sure to set the new paper type
as explained in "Setting the paper type" (page 2-

11).

Changing paper size in paper tray 1 is now

7

complete.

2-3

LOADING PAPER

Loading paper in the bypass tray

The bypass tray can be used to feed the same paper specified for paper tray 1 or for special papers. For paper types
that can be used in the bypass tray, see the specifications for the bypass tray in the paper tray specifications (page
2-9).

Up to 250 sheets of SHARP standard paper or up to 100 postcards can be set in the bypass tray.

NOTES

● After loading the paper in the bypass tray, be sure to set the paper type and size (step 4) if these were changed.

● Do not use inkjet paper. This may cause misfeeds in the fusing unit.

Open the bypass tray.

1

When loading paper that
will extend past the end
of the tray, pull out the
tray extension to support
the paper and to allow the
paper sensors to properly
sense the paper size.

Be sure to pull the tray extension all the way out. If
the tray extension is not pulled all the way out, the
size of the paper loaded in the bypass tray may not
display correctly.

To support papers that
extend past the tray
extension, pull out the
wire extension.

Insert the copy paper all the way into the

3

bypass tray. (Do not force the paper in.)

Place the copy paper
face up. If the bypass
tray guides are set
wider than the copy
paper, the inside of the
machine may become

soiled, resulting in
smudges on succeeding copies. Special purpose
papers other than SHARP recommended
transparency film must be fed individually. Multiple
sheets of SHARP recommended transparency
film can be loaded in the bypass tray.

Set the type and size of the paper loaded in

4

the bypass tray.

If you loaded a different type of paper from the
previous paper, be sure to set the new paper type
as explained in "Setting the paper type and paper
size in the bypass tray" (page 2-12). If you loaded
a special size of paper in the bypass tray, set the
paper size as explained in "Setting the paper type
and paper size in the bypass tray" (page 2-12).
(If you do not set a size, part or all of the image
may not print.)

Set the bypass tray guides to the width of

2

the copy paper.

2-4

This completes the procedure for loading

5

paper in the bypass tray.

NOTE

When loading paper in

the bypass tray or

closing the tray, close

the paper cover as

shown.

NOTES

● Be sure to load 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" paper, A6 paper, A5
paper, and postcards as shown in the diagram
below.

LOADING PAPER

A6 paper, post cards.
5-1/2" x 8-1/2" paper, A5 paper.

● When loading plain paper other than paper
recommended for color, SHARP standard paper,
special media other than postcards, SHARP­recommended transparency film, or paper to be
printed on the back, the paper must be loaded one
sheet at a time. Loading more than one sheet at a
time will cause misfeeds.

● Before loading heavy paper, straighten any curling
in the paper.

● When adding paper, remove any paper remaining
in the tray, combine it with the paper to be added,
and reload as a single stack.

● Do not use paper that has already been printed on
by a plain paper fax machine or a laser printer.
This may cause printed images to become dirty.

● When printing on transparency film, be sure to
remove each sheet as it exits the machine.
Allowing sheets to stack in the output tray may
cause curling.

● Use only SHARP-recommended transparency
film. Insert the film so that the rounded corner is on
the left for horizontal loading, or on the right for
vertical loading.

Horizontal
loading

● When loading multiple sheets of transparency film
in the bypass tray, fan the sheets several times
before loading.

LOADING PAPER

■■■■ Setting envelopes or postcards

When setting envelopes or postcards in the bypass tray, set them in the orientation shown below.

Loading postcards

Insert the postcard with the side to be printed on
facing up. The postcard should be oriented as
shown in the diagram.

Loading envelopes

Only the front side of envelopes can be printed.
Insert the envelope with the front side facing up.

Printing onto envelopes or postcards

●Attempting to print onto both sides of envelopes or postcards may result in misfeeds or poor prints.

●Do not use pre-printed envelopes.

●Before inserting a postcard or envelope, straighten any curled edges. Curled edges may cause creases, color

deviations, misfeeds, and poor quality images.

Printing onto envelopes

●Attempting to print on envelopes that have metal clasps, plastic snaps, string closures, windows, linings, self­adhesive patches or synthetic materials may cause misfeeds, inadequate toner adherence or other trouble.

●Envelopes with embossed surfaces may cause the prints to become smudged.

●Use only envelopes which are flat and crisply folded. Curled or poorly formed envelopes may be poorly printed

or may cause misfeeds.

●Print quality is not guaranteed in the area 13/32" or 10 mm from the
edges of the envelope.

●Print quality is not guaranteed on parts of envelopes where there is a
large step-like change of thickness, such as on three-layer or four-layer
envelopes.

●Print quality is not guaranteed on envelopes having peel off flaps for
sealing the envelopes.

Can be used

Cannot be used

Fusing unit pressure adjusting levers

In some cases damage to the envelopes, color deviations, or smudging may occur even if envelopes within the
specifications are used. This problem may be reduced by shifting the fusing unit pressure adjusting levers from
their normal pressure position to the lower pressure position. Follow the procedure on the next page. (2-7)

NOTE

Be sure to return the lever to the normal position when you have finished feeding envelopes. If not, inadequate
toner adherence, paper misfeeds or other trouble may occur.

Setting the paper size when an extra size is loaded

When a paper tray is set to "extra", this informs the
machine that an extra size is being used. It does not
inform the specific size. To enter the specific size of the
paper loaded, follow the steps below.
For example, if A4 size paper is loaded in the tray (with
the size slide set to "extra"), you can use this procedure
to set the paper size recognized by the machine to A4
size. If you loaded an irregular size of paper, you can
enter the dimensions of the paper.

REPLACING THE TONER CARTRIDGES

When toner runs low, "[ ] TONER SUPPLY IS LOW" appears in the display. It is recommended that you keep
a set of new toner cartridges so that you can replace them quickly when toner runs out.

READY TO COPY.
([ ]TONER SUPPLY IS LOW.)

This indicates the color of toner that is low.

NOTES

● There may be cases that copy images become light or uneven before the message is displayed, depending on
the way the machine is used. If this occurs, take out the toner cartridge by following the same steps as
replacement, shake it horizontally to even out the toner in the cartridge, and re-insert the toner cartridge.
If copy images do not improve even after following this procedure, replace the toner cartridge with a new
cartridge.

● If one of the toners is out, including black toner, color copying will not be possible. If Y, M, or C runs out but BK
toner remains, black and white copying will still be possible.

Follow these steps to replace the toner cartridge that is out of toner.

STORAGE OF SUPPLIES

Standard supplies for this product that can replaced by the user include paper, toner cartridges, and staple cartridges
for the finisher.

For best copying results, be sure to use only Sharp Genuine Supplies which are designed,
engineered, and tested to maximize the life and performance of Sharp products. Look for
the Genuine Supplies label on the toner package.

GENUINE SUPPLIES

■■■■ Proper storage

1. Store the supplies in a location that is:

● clean and dry,

● at a stable temperature,

● not exposed to direct sunlight.

2. Store paper in the wrapper and lying flat.

3. Paper stored in packages standing up or out of
the wrapper may curl or become damp, resulting
in paper misfeeds.

4. Store a new toner cartridge box horizontally. Do
not store it standing on end. If stored standing on
end, the toner may not distribute well even after
shaking the cartridge vigorously, and will remain
inside the cartridge without flowing out.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Check the following troubleshooting list before requesting service as many problems can be fixed by the user. If you
are unable to solve the problem by checking the list, turn off the power switch, unplug the power cord.
Problems related to general use of the machine are described below. For problems related to the copy function, see
page 7-4. For fax, printer, and network scanner problems, see the manuals for those functions. For peripheral device
problems, see the explanation of the device.

If the message "CALL FOR SERVICE. CODE:**-**" appears in the touch panel, turn off the power switch, wait
about 10 seconds, and then turn the power switch back on. If the message still appears after turning the switch
off and on several times, it is likely that a failure has occurred and maintenance would be required. In this event,
stop using the machine, unplug the power cord, and contact your Sharp dealer.
Note : Letters and numbers appear in "**-**" above. When you contact your Sharp dealer, please tell your dealer

what letters and numbers appear.

Do not use curled or crimped paper. If you do not
use paper for a long time, store paper in the
wrapper in a dry location.

Paper may be curled when output depending on
the paper type and quality.
In some cases turning the paper over in the tray
will reduce misfeeding due to curling.

REVERSING AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER

The reversing automatic document feeder can be used to automatically feed originals for continuous copying. Both
sides of two-sided sheet originals can be scanned without having to manually turn the originals over. This feature is
convenient for making copies of a large number of originals.

Acceptable originals

A stack of up to 100 original sheets (8-1/2" x 11" (A4) size, 21 lbs. (80 g/m2)) of the same size paper can be set in
the document feeder tray. Originals of mixed size can be set if the width of the originals is the same.

Notes on use of the reversing automatic document feeder

●Use originals within the specified size and weight ranges. Use of originals out of the specified range may cause
an original misfeed.

●Before loading originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips.

●If originals have damp spots from correction fluid, ink or glue from pasteups, be sure they are dried before they

are fed. If not, the interior of the document feeder or the document glass may be soiled.

●To prevent incorrect original size detection, original misfeeds or smudges on copies, use the following as a
guide for feeding originals.

Transparency film, tracing paper, carbon paper, thermal paper or originals printed with thermal transfer ink
ribbon should not be fed through the document feeder. Originals to be fed through the feeder should not be
damaged, crumpled or folded or have loosely pasted paper on them or cutouts in them. Originals with
multiple punched holes other than two-hole or three-hole punched paper may not feed correctly.
