MAINS PLUG WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

The mains lead of this equipment is already fitted with a mains plug which is either a non-rewireable (moulded) or a rewireable type. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved fuse to BS1362 marked or

and of the same rating as the one removed from the plug must

be used. Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse on the moulded plug. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted. In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied either cut-off the moulded plug (if this type is fitted) or remove by undoing the screws if a rewireable plug is fitted and fit an appropriate type observing the wiring code below.

DANGER: The fuse should be removed from the cut-off plug and the plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner. Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet as a serious electric shock may occur.

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:

IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

GREEN-AND-YELLOW: Earth BLUE: Neutral BROWN: Live

As the colours of the wires in this mains lead may not correspond with coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E, or by the safety earth symbol

Å@, or coloured green or green-

and-yellow. The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

If you have any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. WARNING: THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.

INTRODUCTION

To gain the maximum benefits in using this product, it is recommended that the user read this manual to become familiar with all the features and functions of the basic product and the precautionary information contained in the manual.

This product is a high speed Digital full colour copier/printer that can be expanded to become multifunctional through the installation of optional peripheral devices. The product can be extended to include printer, network scanning or network printing capabilities. This manual describes the basic use of the product as a copier and does not contain information on using any of the optional peripheral devices. Separate operation manuals are included with each of the optional peripheral devices. Refer to these manuals for their operation.

Original and paper sizes

This machine allows use of standard sizes in both the AB and inch systems. These are shown in the tables below.

The meaning of "R" in original and paper size indications

Some original and paper sizes can be placed in either the portrait or landscape orientations. To differentiate between landscape and portrait, the landscape orientation size indication will contain an "R". These are indicated as A4R, B5R, 8-1/2" x 11"R, 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R, etc. Sizes that can be placed only in the landscape orientation (A3, B4, 11" x 17", 8-1/2" x 14", 8-1/2" x 13") do not contain the "R" in their size indication.

MAIN FEATURES

Full-colour copies with vivid colours based on digital technology

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

A range of optional units to enhance productivity

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.

MAIN FEATURES

1-3

Advanced image processing features based on digital technology

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 centre-stapled and folded into a pamphlet (page 6-25). * 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 centre of copies and folded at the centre.

* Pamphlet copy is only possible with black and white copies.

Image processing manual exposure adjustment for optimal copying

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

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

Energy saving features

This product has the following two power reducing modes that conform to the Energy Star guidelines 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.

As an ENERGY STAR

Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets the ENERGY

STAR

guidelines for

energy efficiency.

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.

Loading paper in paper tray 1

Pull out paper tray 1.

Gently pull the tray out until it stops.

Load paper into the tray.

Load a stack of paper no higher than the indicator line (about 500 sheets of the recommended paper for colour (80 g/m

or 21 lbs.), or approximately 500 sheets of SHARP standard paper (80 g/m

or 21 lbs.)).

Gently push tray 1 into the machine.

Push the tray firmly all the way into the machine.

Set the paper type.

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

Loading paper in paper tray 1 is now complete.

Changing the paper size in paper tray 1

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

Pull out paper tray 1.

If paper remains in the tray, remove it.

Adjust the paper size slide to the paper 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 INCH-based size paper is loaded, move the size slide to "EXTRA".)

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 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.

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.

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

2-3

Load paper into the tray.

Gently push tray 1 into the machine.

Push the tray firmly all the way into the machine.

Set the paper type of the paper that was 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 complete.

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.

LOADING PAPER

2-4

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.

Open the bypass tray.

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.

Set the bypass tray guides to the width of the copy paper.

Insert the copy paper all the way into the 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 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.)

This completes the procedure for loading paper 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.

NOTES

When loading paper in

the bypass tray or

closing the tray, close

the paper cover as

shown.

LOADING PAPER

2-5

NOTES

● Be sure to load A6R paper, A5 paper, 5-1/2" x 8-1/ 2" paper, and postcards as shown in the diagram below.

A6R paper, post cards. A5 paper, 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" paper.

● When loading plain paper other than paper recommended for colour, 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.

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

■■■■ Setting envelopes or postcards

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

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, colour

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.

●Under high humidity and temperature conditions the glue flaps on some envelopes may become sticky and be

sealed closed when printed.

●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 10 mm or 13/32" 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.

Fusing unit pressure adjusting levers

In some cases damage to the envelopes, colour 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)

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.

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.

Remove a new toner cartridge from the package and shake it horizontally five or six times.

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

CHANGE THE TONER CARTRIDGE. ([ ])

If you continue to use the toner cartridge, the toner will eventually run out, the machine will stop and the following message will appear.

This indicates the colour of toner that is low. = Yellow toner = Magenta toner = Cyan toner = Black toner

Y M C Bk

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, colour copying will not be possible. If Y, M, or C runs out but BK toner remains, black and white copying will still be possible.

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.

Is the paper curled and does it frequently misfeed in the duplex module/2 x 500 sheet paper drawer or saddle stitch finisher?

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.

Multiple sheets of paper fed simultaneously?

Remove the paper from the paper tray or the bypass tray, fan the paper as shown in the illustration, and then load it again.

Printed paper is wrinkled or the image rubs off easily.

Is paper other than SHARPrecommended paper being used?

Use SHARP-recommended paper.

Is paper size or weight out of the allowable range?

Use paper in the allowable range.

Do wrinkles appear when printing envelopes?

Moving the pressure adjusting levers of the fusing unit from the normal position to a weaker pressure position may help alleviate this problem. (page 2-6)

Is the pressure adjustment lever of the fusing unit out of position?

Return the pressure adjusting levers of the fusing unit to the normal position. (page 2-7)

Paper damp?

Be sure to store paper in the wrapper in a dry location and do not store paper in a location that is

●humid

●at a high temperature or an extremely low

temperature.

The contrast on the touch panel is too high or too low.

Is LCD contrast properly adjusted?

Adjust the contrast using "DISPLAY CONTRAST" of custom settings. (page 2-13)

NOTES

● When copying in COVERS mode, take care that the number of copies in one set, including covers, does not exceed the maximum number of sheets that can be held in one bin as indicated above.

● Copying normally stops when the number of sheets in each bin reaches the limit. This can be disabled with the "OVERRIDE SORTER BIN CAPACITY LIMIT" key operator program (page 16 of the Key Operator's Guide), allowing copying to continue even if the limit is exceeded. Note, however, that this may result in misfeeds or copies overflowing from the bin.

● If the [INTERRUPT] key is touched during copying in sort mode or group mode (one-sided copying only), the mode will automatically switch to non-sort mode. The mode will switch back to the previous mode when the [INTERRUPT] key is touched once again to exit the interrupt state. (Interrupt is not possible during automatic two-sided copying (one-sided to two-sided or two-sided to two-sided)).

● When colour copying is performed, much toner may be put on copy paper depending on the image. In this case, the copies may be curled.

REVERSING SINGLE PASS FEEDER

The reversing single pass 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

When the reversing single pass feeder is used, up to 40 originals of the same size can be set in the feeder (maximum stack thickness of 4 mm, or 30 originals of weight 90 g/m2).

■■■■

Size and weight of acceptable originals

Notes on use of the reversing single pass 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.

■■■■ Standard original setting orientation

Place originals in the document feeder tray or on the document glass so that the top and bottom of the original is positioned as shown in the illustration. If not, staples will be incorrectly positioned and some special features may not give the expected result.

■■■■ Automatic copy image rotation - rotation copying

If the orientation of the originals and copy paper are different, the original image will be automatically rotated 90° and copied. (When an image is rotated, a message will be displayed.) If a function is selected that is not suitable for rotation, such as enlarging the copy to greater than A4 (8-1/2" x 11") size or staple sorting with the saddle stitch finisher, rotation will not be possible.

[Example]

●This function operates in both the auto paper select or auto image mode. (Rotation copying can be disabled with a key operator program. See page 15 of the key operator's guide.)

NORMAL COPYING

This section describes the normal copying procedure.

Copying from the reversing single pass feeder

■■■■ 1-sided copies of 1-sided originals

Place the originals in the document feeder tray. (page 4-6)

Ensure that the 1-sided to 1-sided copy mode is selected.

The one-sided to onesided mode is selected when no icon for a twosided mode appears in the dashed area on the display. If the 1-sided to 1-sided copy mode is already selected, steps 3 to 5 are not needed.

Touch the [2-SIDED COPY] key.

Touch the [1-sided to 1-sided copy] key.

It may happen that a mode other than [1sided to 1-sided copy] is selected, thus [1-sided to 1-sided copy] should be selected again. (Touch the [1-sided to 1sided copy] key so that it is highlighted.)

Touch the [OK] key.

Ensure that paper of the same size as the originals is automatically selected. (*Note)

The selected tray will be highlighted or the message "LOAD xxxxxx PAPER." will appear. If the message appears, load paper in a paper tray with paper of the

required size. Even if the message above is displayed, copying can be performed onto the currently selected paper.

(*Note) The following requirements must be satisfied. Originals of a standard size (A3, B4, A4, A4R, B5,

B5R or A5 (11" x 17", 8-1/2" x 14", 8-1/2" x 11", 81/2" x 11"R or 5-1/2" x 8-1/2")) are set and the auto paper select function is enabled.

If originals of a size other

than the sizes above are

to be copied, manually

select the desired paper

size by touching the

[PAPER SELECT] key

and then touching the

desired paper size

selection key. The selected key will be highlighted and the paper selection screen will close. To close the paper selection screen without making a selection, touch the [PAPER SELECT] key.

NOTE

Certain restrictions exist depending on the amount of memory installed and the copy settings. (See "Copy mode output restrictions" and "Specifications for memory capacity and maximum number of originals" on page 5-4.)

Select the desired output mode (see page 5-5).

The sort mode is the default mode. To select the group mode, touch the [OUTPUT] key, then touch the [GROUP] key on the output setting screen, and then touch the [OK] key on the setting screen.

Use the numeric keys to set the desired number of copies.

Up to 999 can be set. If you are only making a single copy, the copy can be made with the copy number display showing "0". Use the [C] (clear) key to cancel an entry if a mistake has been made.

Press the [COLOUR COPY START ( )] or [BLACK COPY START ( )] key.

If the [C] key is pressed while originals are being scanned, scanning will stop. If copying had already started, copying and scanning will stop after the original in progress is output to the original exit area. In these cases the copy quantity will be reset to "0".

NOTE

If colour copies are made with the output set to "Sort", only one set of copies will be made even if a selection is made for a greater number of copies. (See page 5-5 "Copy output (sort and group)"). When "Group" is selected, the selected number of copies will be made (See next page 5-4 "Copy mode output restrictions").

NOTE

The 1-sided to 1-sided copying mode is set as the default in the initial settings. If the default setting has not been changed using the "Initial status settings" program (key operator program), steps 3 to 5 on page 5-2 can be omitted.
