Note

The initial settings can be changed in the key operator programs. (See the "Key operator’s guide".) For the initial settings (initial screen) of printer, fax, and scanner modes, see the operation manuals of those modes.

POWER SAVE MODES

The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption and thereby reduce the cost of operation. These modes help conserve natural resources and reduce environmental pollution. The two power save modes are "Preheat mode" and "Auto power shut-off mode". The time settings for each mode can be changed in the key operator programs. (See the "Key operator’s guide".)

Preheat mode

When the set time elapses, the temperature of the fusing unit is automatically lowered to reduce power consumption while on standby. The factory default setting is 15 minutes. To return to normal operation, touch any key on the operation panel. To make a copy when the machine is in this mode, simply select the desired copy selections and then press the [START] key ( ).

Auto power shut-off mode

When the set time elapses, the power to the fusing unit automatically turns off to reduce power consumption (This is based on the guidelines of the International Energy Star Program.). The factory default setting is 60 minutes. When the machine enters this mode, the touch panel screen turns off and only the [START] key ( ) blinks. To return to normal operation, press the [START] key ( ). To copy after warm-up starts, make desired copy selections and press the [START] key ( ). When the machine receives a fax or a print job, Auto power shut-off mode automatically deactivates and the machine returns to normal operation.

Special papers

Follow these guidelines when using special papers.

Envelopes

Do not use the following envelopes (Misfeeds will occur.).

• Envelopes with metal tabs, clasps, strings, holes, or windows.

• Envelopes with rough fibers, carbon paper, or glossy surfaces.

• Envelopes with two or more flaps.

• Envelopes with tape, film, or paper attached to the flap.

• Envelopes with a fold in the flap.

• Envelopes with glue on the flap to be moistened for sealing.

• Envelopes with labels or stamps.

• Envelopes that are slightly inflated with air.

• Envelopes with glue protruding from the seal area.

• Envelopes with part of the seal area peeled off.

Letterhead paper

Letterhead paper is paper with information pre-printed at the top such as a company name and address.

SHARP

• Use SHARP recommended transparency film and label sheets. Using other than SHARP recommended paper may result in misfeeds or smudges on the output. If other than SHARP recommended media must be used, feed each sheet one at a time using the bypass tray (Do not attempt continuous copying or printing.).

• There are many varieties of special paper available on the market, and some cannot be used with this machine. Before using special paper, contact a SHARP service center.

• Before using other than SHARP recommended paper, make a test copy to see if the paper is suitable.

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE

LOADING PAPER

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

COPY FUNCTIONS

POINTS TO NOTE WHEN MAKING COPIES

Document glass and RSPF

• Paper in a different orientation from the original can be selected if the auto paper select or auto image function has been selected. In this case, the image of the original will be rotated.

• When copying a book or an original that has been folded or crumpled, press down gently on the RSPF. This will reduce shadow lines caused by uneven contact between the original and the document glass.

• When the center tray counter function is enabled, the number of pages that can be delivered to the output tray is limited to 500 (A4 and 8-1/2" x 14" sizes only; the limit for all other sizes is 300 pages.). When the offset function is used, the limit is approximately 300 pages. When the limit is reached, copying stops and the [START] key ( ) light turns off. Remove the copies from the center tray and then press the [START] key ( ) to resume copying. The center tray counter function can be disabled in the key operator programs. (See the "Key operator’s guide".)

Originals that can be used in the RSPF

A maximum of 100 sheet originals of equal size (8-1/2" x 11", 24 lbs. (90g/m2)) can be placed in the RSPF. Originals of different length can be placed together in the RSPF as long the widths are equal; however, some copy functions may not operate correctly.

Acceptable originals

Originals of size 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 11" x 17" having a weight of 9 lbs. to 34 lbs. (35g/m2 to 128g/m2) or 14 lbs. to 28 lbs. (52g/m

to 105g/m2) for two-sided originals can be used.

Other considerations

• Use originals that are within the specified size and weight ranges. Originals outside the specified ranges may cause misfeeds.

• Make sure that there are no paper clips or staples on the original.

• If an original has damp spots from correction fluid or ink, or glue from pasteups, be sure it has dried completely before using it to make a copy. Otherwise the interior of the RSPF or the document glass may become soiled.

• The following originals cannot be used. These may cause misfeeds, smudging, and unclear images.

• Transparencies, tracing paper, other transparent or translucent paper, photographs

• Carbon paper

• Thermal paper

• Originals that are creased, folded, or torn

• Glued originals, cut-out originals

• Originals with binder holes

• Originals printed using an ink ribbon (thermal transfer printing), originals printed on thermal transfer paper

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.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

Data Issued: Feb. 1, 2007 MSDS No. F-01481

Chronic Effect : In a study in rats of chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to moderate

degree of lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of the rats in the high concentration (16mg/m the animals in the middle (4mg/m reported in the lowest (1mg/m human exposures.
