MAIN FEATURES

High-speed laser copying

•First-copy time*1 at 300 dpi*2 is only 7.2 seconds.

• Copying speed is 20/16 copies per minute at 600 dpi, This is ideal for business use and provides a big boost to workplace productivity.

*1First-Copy time may vary depending on the power-supply voltage, ambient temperature, and other operating conditions. *2"dpi" ("dots per inch") are units that are used to measure resolution. Resolution indicates how much detail can be

reproduced in a printed or scanned image.

High-quality digital image

• High-quality copies are possible in normal mode at 300 dpi and in photo mode.

• In addition to automatic exposure adjustment, two original modes can be selected: "TEXT" for text-only originals, and "PHOTO" for photographs. The exposure can be adjusted to five levels in each mode.

• The photo mode copying function allows clear copying of delicate halftone original images such as monochrome photos and color photos.

Enhanced copying features

• Zoom copies can be made from 25% to 400% in 1% increments. (When the SPF/RSPF is being used, the zoom copy ratio range is 50% to 200%.)

• Continuous copying of up to 999 copies is possible. (Can be changed to a maximum of 99 copies in the user programs.)

• The user programs allow customized machine settings and management. Access to the machine can be controlled by enabling audit mode.

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.

Note

• "Auto clear" is initially set to return the copy settings to the initial settings when the [CLEAR ALL] key ( ) is pressed, and after one minute elapses after a copy job is finished. When "Auto clear" operates, all previous settings are cleared. The setting for "Auto clear" can be changed in the user programs. (p.44)

• The machine is initially set to automatically enter power save mode if not used for copying, printing, or scanning for a preset period of time. This setting can be changed in the user programs. (p.44)

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 canceled.

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)

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.

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE

LOADING PAPER

Make sure that the machine is not copying or printing, and then follow these steps to load paper.

Loading the paper tray

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.

Page 17

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.

ROTATING THE IMAGE 90 DEGREES

When "Auto paper select mode" or "automatic ratio selection" are in operation and the original is placed in a different orientation (vertical or horizontal) than the paper, the original image will be automatically rotated 90 degrees to enable correct copying onto the paper. This function is convenient for copying 8-1/2" x 14" or 11" x 17" originals, which can only be placed horizontally, onto paper that is loaded vertically. The rotation copy function is initially enabled. It can be disabled in the user programs. (p.45)

The machine includes a USB 1.1 port and a parallel port as standard equipment. A computer can be connected to these ports to use the machine as a printer or a scanner. When the dual function board is used, the following functions can be used in addition to the standard printer/scanner functions.

• High-speed data transfer (when connected to a USB 2.0 port)

• ROPM* function

• Automatic rotation printing To use the machine as a printer or scanner, the printer driver or scanner driver must first be installed as explained in the "Software Setup Guide".

* ROPM is an acronym for "Rip Once Print Many" processing. The ROPM function stores multiple pages of print data in memory

before printing. When printing multiple copies, this eliminates the need for the computer to repeatedly transmit the print data.

Chapter 4

PRINTER/SCANNER FUNCTIONS

Note

• If a problem occurs in printer or scanner mode, see "TROUBLESHOOTING". (p.52)

• Two printer drivers are provided for the machine: a standard printer driver and a printer driver that is used when the dual function board is installed. Install the correct printer driver depending on whether or not the dual function board is installed. If the correct printer driver is not installed, printing may not take place correctly. (See the "Software Setup Guide" for information on installing the printer drivers.)

• When using USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode), be sure to read "System requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode)" (p.38) to verify that your system and the machine settings are configured appropriately.

• Do not install the printer driver for the dual function board when the dual function board is not installed. If this is done, a warning message will print and printing will be canceled.

• The scanning feature is only available with Windows 98/Me/2000/XP using a USB connection. For users running Windows 95/NT 4.0 or using a parallel connection, only printing is available.

• When interrrupt copying is being performed, printing or scanning is not possible.

System requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode)

The following system is required to use USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode):

• Your computer must be running Windows XP / Windows 2000 and the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver must be pre-installed, or the USB 2.0 driver for Windows XP / Windows 2000 must be installed using Microsoft's Windows Update service.

• The "USB 2.0 mode switching" setting in the machine's user programs must be set to "Hi-Speed". To change the setting, see "USB 2.0 mode switching" in the user programs. (p.46).

* Even when the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver is installed, some USB 2.0 expansion cards are not capable of

attaining the speed stipulated by the Hi-Speed standard. This problem can often be fixed by installing a more recent driver for the card. To obtain the most recent driver for your card, contact the card's manufacturer.

Explanation

• "Auto clear time" automatically returns the copy settings to the initial settings (p.12) when a certain period of time elapses after a copy is made. This program is used to select the period of time. "Auto clear time" can also be disabled.

• 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.

• 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.

Explanation

• When the auto paper select function is enabled and there is no paper that is the same size as the original and loaded in the same orientation, this function will automatically select paper of the same size that is loaded in the opposite orientation, and rotate the image 90 degrees so that it is copied on the paper in the correct orientation.

• When the auto ratio select function is operating and the original and paper are loaded in opposite orientations, this function rotates the image so that it is copied on the paper in the correct orientation.

• This function automatically selects paper that is the same size as the original placed in the SPF/RSPF, or the same size as that selected with the [ORIGINAL SIZE ENTER] key. The function can be disabled.

• If the paper runs out during printing and there is paper of the same size and orientation in another tray, this function automatically switches to that tray (excluding the bypass tray). The function can be disabled.

• Use this setting to set the width of erasure of shadows that appear around the edges and at the binding margin when a book or similar original is copied.

• Use this setting to select the layout pattern when two original pages are copied onto a single sheet of paper (see page 34 for the layout patterns).

• Use this setting to select the layout pattern when four original pages are copied onto a single sheet of paper (see page 34 for the layout patterns).

• When enabled, this function offsets the position in the paper output tray of interrupt copy jobs, sets of copies during sort/group copy, and print jobs when using the printer function.

• 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 opposite to each other.

• Use this setting to switch between the margin at the top edge and the margin at the left edge.

• Use this setting to set the margin width.

• The copy resolution in auto and text mode is normally 300 dpi. If high-quality copies are preferred, use this setting to change the resolution to 600 dpi.

The document glass or the underside of the document cover/SPF/RSPF is dirty.

→ Clean regularly.

Poor scanning quality.

Original smudged or blotchy.

→ Use a clean original.

You have not specified a suitable resolution.

→ Make sure that the resolution setting in the scanner driver is

appropriate for the original.

You are scanning a large area (for example an entire 11" x 17") at high resolution.

→ If you attempt to scan a large area at high resolution and there is

insufficient memory in the machine to hold the scanned data, scanning will take place at a lower resolution and the scanner driver will enhance the data to make up for the lower resolution. However, the quality of the enhanced image will not be as high as if scanning took place at the higher resolution. Use a lower resolution setting, or scan a smaller area.

You have not specified a suitable value for the "B/W Threshold" setting.

→ If you are scanning with a TWAIN-compliant application and are

using "White", "Red", "Green" or "Blue" mode from "Light Source" menu, make sure that a suitable value is specified for the "B/W Threshold" setting. A larger threshold value makes your output darker, while a small threshold value makes it lighter. To adjust the threshold automatically, click the "Auto Threshold" button on the "Image" tab of the "Custom Settings" screen.

The brightness and contrast settings are not suitable.

→ If you are scanning with a TWAIN-compliant application and the

resulting image has unsuitable brightness or contrast (for example it is too bright), click the "Auto Brightness/Contrast Adjustment" button on the "Color" tab of the "Custom Settings" screen. Click the "Brightness/Contrast" button to adjust the brightness and the contrast while viewing the scanned output image on the screen. If you are scanning with a WIA-compliant application or the "Scanner and Camera Wizard", click "Adjust the quality of the scanned picture" or the "Custom settings" button, and adjust the brightness and contrast in the screen that appears.

The original is not placed face up in the SPF/RSPF or face down on the original table.

→ Place the original face up in the SPF/RSPF or face down on the

original table.

The original was not placed in the correct position.

→ Place the original correctly.

"Quick Scan" has been selected.

→ If scanning is performed when the "Quick Scan" option has been

selected, image quality may be degraded. This is because the scanned data is transferred using JPEG compression. If image quality is poor, then perform scanning again without selecting the "Quick Scan" option. ("Quick Scan" is not selected by default.)

If scanning is not possible, shut down your computer, turn off the machine’s power switch, and unplug the machine’s power cord. Next, start your computer, restore power to the machine, and try scanning again. If scanning is still not possible, check the following items.

Your application is not TWAIN/WIA compliant.

→ If your application is not TWAIN/WIA compliant, scanning will not

be possible. Make sure your application is TWAIN/WIA compliant.

You have not selected the scanner driver of the machine in your application.

TWAIN/WIA-compliant application.

–

Unable to scan the image.

Scanner transfer speed is slow

You have not specified all scanning preferences appropriately.

→ Scanning a large area in full color at high resolution results in a

large amount of data and extended scanning times. The scanning preferences should be set appropriately for type of original to be scanned, i.e., Text, Text/Graphics, Photograph, Color, or Black & White.

There is not enough computer memory.

→ The scan resolution will vary depending on the scanning area and

how much memory in the machine is free. To can a 11" x 17" original in full color at 600 dpi without using enhancement, the dual function board and the 256 MB optional memory (AR-SM5) are required.

You do not have Administrator rights.

→ To use the machine to scan into Windows 2000/XP, you must log

on as an Administrator.

Your computer does not meet the system requirements for the USB 2.0 interface (Hi-Speed mode).

→ See "System requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode)" (p.38)

CHECKING THE TOTAL OUTPUT COUNT

Chapter 7

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

From the "0" display, you can check the total output count, total copy count, and total scan count as explained below. The total output count is all pages (for both printing and copying) printed by the machine. The total count, copy count, total scan count, and copy count for each account (if enabled) are reset to 0 when the count reaches 50,000.

[Total output count]

Hold down the [0] key.

The total output count appears in the display while you hold down the key. The total output count appears sequentially in two parts while you hold down the [0] key.

Example: Total number of pages output is 12,345.

[Total copy count]

Hold down the [READ-END] key ( ).

The total copy count appears in the display while you hold down the key. The count display and counting method are the same as for the total output count.

Note

The total number of pages printed in printer mode can be calculated by subtracting the total copy count from the total output count.

[Total scan count]

Hold down the [ ] key.

The total scan count appears in the display while you hold down the key. The count display and counting method are the same as for the total output count.

Note

• Each 11" x 17" size page is counted as two pages.

• During a copy run, pressing the [0] key shows the number of completed copy pages, not the total output count.

CLEANING THE DOCUMENT GLASS AND SPF/RSPF/DOCUMENT COVER

If the document glass, SPF/RSPF, underside of the document cover, or the scanner for originals coming from the SPF/RSPF (the long narrow glass surface on the right side of the document glass) become dirty, the dirt may appear on copies. Always keep these parts clean.

Stains or dirt on the document glass/SPF/RSPF will also be copied. Wipe the document glass, document cover portion of the SPF/RSPF and the scanning window on the document glass with a soft, clean cloth. If necessary, dampen the cloth with water. Do not use thinner, benzene, or similar volatile cleaning agents.

Warning

Do not spray flammable cleaner gas.

carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for which there is inadequate human evidence, but sufficient animal evidence on which to base an opinion of carcinogenicity. The classification is based upon the development of lung tumors in rats receiving chronic inhalation exposures to free carbon black at levels that induce particle overload of the lung. Studies performed in animal models other than rats did not show any association between carbon black and lung tumors. Moreover, a two-year cancer bioassay using a typical toner preparation containing carbon black demonstrated no association between toner exposure and tumor development in rats.
