GETTING STARTED Installation requirements
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
To ensure safety and proper machine performance, please note the following
before initial installation and whenever the machine is to be relocated.
1. The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy
connection.
2. Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the
specified voltage and current requirements.
Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.
3. Do not install the machine where it is:
●
damp or humid,
●
exposed to direct sunlight,
●
extremely dusty,
●
poorly ventilated,
●
subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes (e.g., near an air
conditioner or heater).
4. Ensure that the area chosen for the machine location is level.
5. Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing and
proper ventilation.
23-5/8"
(60 cm)
A small amount of ozone is produced within the copier during operation.
The emission level is insufficient to cause any health hazard.
NOTE:
The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm
(0.2 mg/m3) calculated as an 8 hr. time-weighted average concentration.
However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable
odor, it is advisable to place the copier in a ventilated area.

CAUTIONS
1. Do not touch the photoconductive drums or paper transport.
Scratches or smudges on them will cause copy defects.
2. The fusing unit is extremely hot. Exercise care in this area.
CHAPTER1
GETTING STARTED Cautions
3. Do not look directly at the light source. Doing so may damage
your eyes.
4. Installation adjusters.
When moving the machine, be sure to raise the installation
adjusters. After moving the machine, lower the installation
adjusters until they reach the floor.

POWER ON AND OFF
The power switch is located on the left side of the copier. When the
power switch is turned to the “ON” position, the message “WARMING
UP. PLEASE WAIT.” will appear in the message display. Warming
up takes about 330 seconds. Once the copier is ready, the message
display will change to “READY TO COPY.”, and the START key
indicators will light up, indicating that copying is possible.

GETTING STARTED Power on and off
Power save modes
The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power
consumption and thereby reduce the cost of operation and to conserve
natural resources to help reduce environmental pollution. The two
power save modes are preheat mode and sleep mode.
★ KEY OPERATOR
The preheat activation time and the sleep activation time have been
preset at the factory to 15 min. for preheat mode and 60 min. for sleep
mode. These times can be changed as described in the key operator’s
guide. It is suggested that you set appropriate times according to the
actual usage of the copier.
Sleep mode
If the sleep mode is enabled, the copier will enter the mode 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. When the copier enters the sleep mode, the display on
the touch panel will disappear. In this condition, power is not
supplied to the fuser in the copier. To exit from the sleep mode,
press the COPY key.
★ KEY OPERATOR See page 25 of the KEY OPERATOR’S GUIDE for
setting the sleep mode timer. See page 30 of the KEY OPERATOR’S
GUIDE for enabling or disabling the sleep mode.
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner,
SHARP has determined that this
product meets the ENERGY
®
STAR
efficiency.
guidelines for energy
Preheat mode
The copier will enter the mode once the set time has elapsed without
any copier operation after the last copy of a run is made or power is
turned on.
When the copier enters the preheat mode, the message “PREHEAT
MODE. PLACE ORIGINALS.” will appear.
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 approximately 30 seconds after any key input is made.
To copy from the preheat mode, make desired copier selections and
press a START key using the normal copying procedure.

be copied from the document glass and the copies be
used as original documents.
●
When feeding originals which have closely spaced
binding holes punched along an edge, place the
originals so that the punched edge is positioned to the
right or along the side guides.
●
Special originals such as transparency film and tracing
paper should not be fed from the RADF, but should be
placed on the document glass.

can occur along the other edges of the copies.
●
The RADF can handle a maximum of 50 originals of
5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 8-1/2" x 11" sizes and 30 originals
of 8-1/2" x 14" to 11" x 17" sizes.
●
2-sided to 1-sided copying and 2-sided to 2-sided*
copying can be performed.
* For 2-sided to 2-sided copying, an optional duplex
module (AR-DU2) must be installed.
