This manual provides general information on using the machine, such as routine maintenance and how to load paper and remove misfeeds. It also explains how to use the copier and document filing functions. Separate manuals have been provided for the fax function, printer function, and network scanner function.

■■■■ Original and paper sizes

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

Sizes in the inch system Sizes in the AB system 11" x 17" (LEDGER) A3 8-1/2" x 14" (LEGAL) B4 8-1/2" x 13" (FOOLSCAP) A4 8-1/2" x 11" (LETTER) B5 7-1/4" x 10-1/2" (EXECUTIVE) A5 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (INVOICE)

■■■■ 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 8-1/2" x 11"R, 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R, A4R, B5R, etc. Sizes that can be placed only in the landscape orientation (11" x 17", 8-1/2" x 14", 8-1/2" x 13", A3, B4) do not contain the "R" in their size indication.

Energy saving features

This product has the following two power reducing modes to help conserve natural resources and reduce environmental pollution.

Preheat mode

When the machine remains in the standby state for the amount of time set in the key operator programs, preheat mode automatically reduces the temperature of the fusing unit to save power while the machine is on standby. When a fax or print job is received, or keys are pressed on the operation panel, or an original is placed for a copy, fax, or network scanner job, preheat mode automatically turns off.

Auto power shut-off mode

The auto power shut-off mode is the second level of power reduction. In this mode power is shut off to the fusing unit and the touch panel. In this state more energy is saved than in the preheat mode but the time to recover to the ready condition will be longer. The preset time to enter this mode can be set by a key operator program.

When this product is used as a printer, and either of the above modes is active, the mode will be deactivated automatically by an incoming job and the machine will automatically warm up and start to print when it has reached the ready temperature. When this product is configured for multi-function operation, and either of the above modes is active, the mode will be deactivated as above by an incoming print job. Either mode will also be deactivated by operation of DOCUMENT FILING, IMAGE SEND or COPY mode key.

LOADING PAPER

Loading paper in the multi purpose drawer

The method of loading paper into the multipurpose drawer is the same as for paper tray 1 described on page 2-2. For specifications of paper, see page 2-3. When loading envelopes, postcards or transparency film, follow the descriptions below.

● Two maximum height lines are indicated: one for plain paper and one for special paper.

Maximum height line for plain paper

Do not exceed this line when loading plain paper.

Maximum height line special paper (red line)

Do not exceed this line when loading special paper.

■■■■ How to change the paper size

To change the paper size or paper type when paper is loaded into the multi purpose drawer, refer to page 2-5 for details.

■■■■ Setting envelopes or postcards

When setting envelopes or postcards in the multi purpose drawer, set them in the orientation shown below.

Loading postcards

Load postcards print side up to the rear left of the tray as shown.

Loading envelopes

Envelopes can only be printed on the address side. Be sure to place envelopes with the address side up and the top of the envelope to the rear.

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 paper that has already been printed on by a thermal transfer or inkjet printer. In particular, paper

that has been printed on by a thermal transfer printer (such as a word processor that uses a cassette) may cause missing characters and smudges.

● To avoid wrinkling, misfeeds or poor printing, make sure the postcard or envelopes stock is not curled.

2-8

Page 36

LOADING PAPER

Printing onto envelopes

● Do not use envelopes that have metal clasps, plastic snaps, string closures, windows, linings, self-adhesive patches or synthetic materials. Attempting to print on these may cause misfeeds, inadequate toner adherence or other trouble.

● Creases or smudging may occur. This is especially true of embossed surfaces and other irregular surfaces.

● 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.

Fusing unit pressure adjusting levers

When feeding envelopes from the multi purpose drawer, damage to the envelopes or smudges on prints may occur even if envelopes within specification are used. In this case, the problem may be reduced by shifting the fusing unit pressure adjusting levers from the normal position to the lower pressure position. Follow the procedure below.

NOTE

Be sure to return the lever to the normal position when finished feeding envelopes. If not, inadequate toner adherence, paper misfeeds or other trouble may occur.

Unlatch the duplex module and slide it to

the left.

Unlatch the module and gently move the module away from the machine. If the machine is not equipped with a duplex module, open the side cover similarly.

REPLACING THE TONER CARTRIDGE

When toner runs low, a message will appear to inform you that the toner cartridge must be replaced.

NOTE

To view the approximate amount of toner remaining, hold down the [COPY] key during printing or when the machine is on standby. The percentage of toner remaining will appear in the display while you hold down the key. When the percentage falls to "25-0%" , obtain a new toner cartridge and keep it ready for replacement.

Follow the steps below to replace the toner cartridge.

Open the front cover.

Lower the cartridge lock lever.

While depressing the lock release button,

pull out the toner cartridge and remove it.

Insert a new toner cartridge.

Push the cartridge in until it locks securely into place.

Gently remove the sealing tape from the

cartridge.

Once the seal is pulled out, the toner in the toner cartridge is supplied to the developer cartridge.

Return the cartridge lock lever.

Remove a new toner cartridge from the

package and shake it horizontally five or six times.

NOTE

Shake the toner cartridge well to ensure that the toner flows well and will not stick to the inside of the cartridge.

CAUTION

● Do not throw the toner cartridge into a fire. Toner may fly and cause burns.

● Store toner cartridges out of the reach of small children.

NOTE

Place the used toner cartridge in the plastic bag and store it. When placing the toner cartridge in the bag, insert it horizontally, not vertically. If the cartridge is stood on end, the collected used toner may spill out and soil the floor or your clothes.

Close the front cover.

STORAGE OF SUPPLIES

Standard supplies for this product that can replaced by the user include paper, toner cartridges, and staple cartridges for the finisher.

For best copying results, be sure to use only Sharp Genuine Supplies which are designed, engineered, and tested to maximize the life and performance of Sharp products. Look for the Genuine Supplies label on the toner package.

GENUINE SUPPLIES

■■■■ Proper storage

1. Store the supplies in a location that is:

● clean and dry,

● at a stable temperature,

● not exposed to direct sunlight.

2. Store paper in the wrapper and lying flat.

3. Paper stored in packages standing up or out of the wrapper may curl or become damp, resulting in paper misfeeds.

4. Store a new toner cartridge box horizontally. Do not store it standing on end. If stored standing on end, the toner may not distribute well even after shaking the cartridge vigorously, and will remain inside the cartridge without flowing out.

Supply and Consumables

The supply of spare parts for a repair of the appliance is guaranteed for at least 7 years following the termination of production. Spare parts are those parts of the apparatus which may break down within the scope of the ordinary use of the product - whereas those parts which normally exceed the life of the product are not to be considered as spare parts. Consumables too, are available for 7 years following the termination of production.

DUPLEX MODULE

If a duplex module is installed, printing onto both sides of paper can be performed. Two types of duplex modules are available: duplex module/bypass tray and duplex module. The descriptions in this manual are for the duplex module/bypass tray. For information on misfeed removal for these modules, see page 2-19.

Part names

Exit tray

The tray is extendable to support large size paper. Extend the tray when 11" x 17", 8-1/2" x 14", 8-1/2" x 13", A3 or B4 paper is being used. For a duplex module (not duplex module/bypass tray), the exit tray is optional.

Duplex module

Automatic copying on both sides of the paper is possible.

NOTE

Automatic two-sided printing can be done only onto plain paper.

Bypass tray

This tray can also be used for special papers including transparency film. (See next page and page 2-3.)

Special papers cannot be used for two-sided printing. (See page 2-4 for explanation on special paper.)

NOTES

● Do not press down on the bypass tray or the exit tray.

● The duplex module requires the installation of other peripheral devices in order to be functional and cannot be

installed together with some other devices. The table on page 8-4 shows the configurations which are compatible.

Loading paper in the bypass tray

The bypass tray can be used for plain paper and special paper including labels. Up to 100 sheets of standard paper can be set. For paper types that can be used in the bypass tray, refer to page 2-3.

NOTE

If the paper type or size is changed, be sure to enter the paper type and size as in step 4.

Open the bypass tray.

When setting 11"x 17", 8-1/2" x 14", 8-1/2" x 13, A3 or B4 paper, be sure to extend the bypass tray extension.

Bypass tray extension

Set the bypass tray paper guides to the

width of the paper to be used.

Insert the paper all the way into the bypass

tray.

If the bypass tray extension is not pulled all the way out the size of the loaded paper will not be correctly displayed.

Set the paper face down. If there is a clearance between the paper and the paper guides, the paper may not be fed correctly. Adjust the guides so that they contact the edges of the paper.

NOTES

● When using 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" paper, A5 paper or postcards, be sure to load them with their shorter edge into the feed slot as shown in the illustration.

When loading plain paper other than SHARP standard paper,

●

special media other than postcards, SHARP-recommended 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.

● 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.

● Do not use paper that has already been printed on by a thermal transfer or inkjet printer. In particular, paper that has been printed on by a thermal transfer printer (such as a word processor that uses a cassette) may cause missing characters and smudges.

● 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.

● Please use SHARP-recommended transparency film. Place the film in the bypass tray so that it is oriented vertically with the label side face up. If the label side is placed face down, smudging may result.

Label facing up

When loading multiple sheets of transparency film in the bypass

●

tray, be sure to fan the sheets several times before loading.

Set the type and size of the loaded paper.

When the paper system is changed from the inch system to the AB system or vise versa or when the paper type is changed, the paper type must be designated. For setting the paper type and paper size, see page 2-5.

AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER

The automatic document feeder automatically feeds originals into the machine, making continuous copying possible. In addition, both sides of two-sided sheet originals can be simultaneously scanned. This function is convenient when you have a large number of original pages to scan.

Acceptable originals

A stack of up to 50 original sheets (30 original sheets*1 for 8-1/2" x 14" (B4) or larger) of the same size paper can be set in the document feeder tray provided the stack height is within the limit shown below. A stack of up to 30 mixed size originals can be set if the width of the originals is the same and the stack height is within the limit shown below. In this case, however, stapling and duplex will not function and some special functions may not give the expected result. *1 For paper heavier than 28 lbs. (105 g/m

may cause incorrect scanning of original and scanned image may become expanded compared with original itself.

■■■■ Notes on use of the automatic document 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.

●Do not use the following originals. These originals may cause incorrect original size detection, original misfeeds, and smudges on copies.

●

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. Originals with multiple punched holes other than two-hole or three-hole punched paper may not feed correctly.

●When using originals with two or three holes, place them so that the punched edge is at a position other than the feed slot.
