• 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, a print job is received, or scanning is begun from a computer.

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 or scanning is begun from a computer. 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 user programs. It is suggested that you set times that are appropriate for your usage of the machine. (p.44)

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.

Gently lift and pull out the paper tray

until it stops.

Push the pressure plate down until it

locks in place.

Push the center of the pressure plate down until it locks into place.

Fan the paper.

If the paper is not fanned, double-feeds or misfeeds may occur.

Gently push the paper tray into the

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.16).

Load paper into the tray.

Note

• Do not load paper higher than the line on the tray (up to 250 sheets).

• Make sure that the paper fits under the tab on the right side of the tray.

• Make sure the stack of paper is straight before loading it. When adding paper, take the remaining paper out and combine it into a single stack with the new paper.

Loading the bypass tray

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE

Unfold the bypass tray.

When feeding large paper such as 8-1/2" x 14" and 11" x 17", pull out the bypass tray extension.

Set the paper guides to the copy

paper width.

Insert the paper (print face down) all

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 [TRAY SELECT] key ( ) to select the bypass tray. The bypass tray will not be selected automatically.

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 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" size paper or envelopes horizontally as shown in the following diagram ( ).

• 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.

• The left guide is an insert-type guide. Remove it and then insert it at the indicator line of the paper to be loaded.

• When using 11" x 17" sized paper store the left guide in the slot at the left front of the paper tray.

Important points when using the printer mode

• Make sure that the tray's paper size setting is the same as the tray's paper size setting in the printer driver. For example, if the tray's paper size setting is 8-1/2" x 11"R, set "Setting Paper Size" to "Letter-R". For more information, see "CONFIGURING THE PRINTER DRIVER" (p.11) in the "Software Setup Guide".

• If the dual function board is not installed, printing will not take place correctly if the tray paper size setting is 8-1/2" x 11"R. To prevent incorrect printing when the tray paper size setting is 8-1/2" x 11"R, specify the tray to be used and set the tray's paper size to 8-1/2" x 11"R in the printer driver.

• When performing automatic two-sided copying of a one-sided original, or one-sided copying of a two-sided original, the image on the back can be rotated 180 degrees to reverse the top and bottom (Image rotation in duplex copying). To rotate the image 180 degrees, enable the setting as explained in "IMAGE ROTATION IN DUPLEX COPYING" (p.29) or in the user programs (p.44), and then follow the steps below. In particular, when a one-sided "vertical (portrait) original" is placed in a horizontal orientation (8-1/2" x 14" or 11" x 17" size) for two-sided copying, the top and bottom of the images on the front and back of the paper will be reversed, and thus this function can be conveniently used to make the top and bottom of the images agree.
