2. Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the specified voltage and current requirements. Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.

●

For the power supply requirements, see the name plate of the main unit.

3. Do not install your machine in areas that are:

●

damp, humid, or very dusty

●

exposed to direct sunlight

●

poorly ventilated

●

subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air conditioner or heater .

4. Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing and proper ventilation.

31-1/2" (80cm)

11-13/16" (30cm)

23-5/8" (60cm)

A small amount of ozone is produced within the printer during operation. The emission level is insufficient to cause any health hazard.

NOTE:

The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m calculated as an 8 hr. time-weighted a verage concentr ation. However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable odor, it is advisable to place the copier in a ventilated area.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Moving this machine

Lift this machine at the positions shown in the illustration below and carry it horizontally.

CAUTION

Two people are required to lift and carr y this machine. The center of gravity of the machine is slightly to the left of the center of the machine when viewed from the front. If a duplex module is installed the center of gravity will be even further shifted to the left. When lifting the machine be careful to steady it to prevent it from toppling. Also be sure that all covers and the duplex module are securely closed and latched before lifting. If a duplex module is installed, do not lift the machine by the module as it may come off causing it and the machine to drop.

Remove the multi purpose drawer and lift at the positions shown in the illustration. For remov al and installation of the multi purpose drawer , see page 4-4. To avoid injury be sure to completely remove the multi purpose drawer.

Front side Rear side

Remove the multi purpose drawer in advance.

If the machine has been placed on a stand/paper drawer: The stand/paper drawer is on casters for moving. Unlock the adjusters of the stand/paper drawer and gently move the machine taking care to steady it to prevent it from toppling. For locking and unlocking the adjusters, see page 0-3.

CAUTION

The center of gravity of this machine is a little deviated to the left from the center. If the machine is not equipped with a multi purpose drawer or a stand/paper drawer, take care in opening the left side cover (or the duplex module) not to cause toppling of the machine.

CA UTIONS

1. Do not touch the photoconductive drum. Scratches or smudges on the drum will cause dirty prints.

2. The fusing unit is extremely hot. Exercise care in this area.

3. Do not look directly at the light source of the scanner module. Doing so may damage your eyes.

4. Five adjusters are provided on all optional stand/ paper drawer units. These adjusters should be lowered until they contact the floor .

5. Do not make any modifications to this machine. Doing so may result in personal injury or damage to the machine.

6. Since this machine is heavy , it is recommended that it be moved by more than one person to prevent injury.

7. When connecting this machine to a computer, be sure to first turn both the computer and the machine off.

8. Do not print anything which is prohibited from printing by law. The following items are normally prohibited from printing by national law. Other items may be prohibited by local law .

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.

NOTE

In this manual, American spellings are used. This product is a high speed laser printer that can be extended to become multifunctional through the installation of

optional peripheral devices. The product can be extended to include copier, network scanning, facsimile or network printing capabilities. This manual describes the basic use of the product as a printer and does not contain use information for 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 inch and AB systems. The standard sizes av ailable in this machine are shown belo w .

In this manual, the indications for the scanner module touch panel as shown in the table above are used.

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 11R, 5-1/2 x 8-1/2R, 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.

MAIN FEATURES

Laser printer able to accept a range of peripherals allowing it to be configured to specific needs

This product is a laser printer that can be used as a local printer which can be configured by the addition of peripheral devices to extend its capabilities to include copier , network printer , network scanner or facsimile features.

A range of optional units to enhance productivity

Optional additions such as duplex units for producing two-sided output, additional paper feed units to increase the variety of av ailab le paper siz es and paper capacity, paper output units to sort and otherwise organize the output and a scanner module for automatically scanning documents.

600 dpi high resolution printing

High-definition and high quality printing with 600 dpi resolution can be performed. Also high image quality equivalent to 1200 dpi can be output by using a smoothing function.

High speed monochrome printing

Depending upon the model chosen, high speed printing at 35 letter (A4) size pages/minute or 45 letter (A4) size pages/minute is available.

PostScript compatible

Installation of a PS3 expansion kit gives PostScript compatibility (PostScript level 3).

Energy saving features

This product has the following two power reducing modes that conform to the Energy Star guidelines which help to conserve natural resources and reduce environmental pollution.

Preheat mode

The preheat mode is the first level of po wer reduction. The power is reduced to the fuser unit a preset time after the machine has completed a job and no further machine operations have been made. The machine can recover to the ready condition within a short period of time. The preset time to enter the mode can be set by a key operator program.

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 deactiv ated 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 either an incoming print job or received facsimile data. Either mode will also be deactivated by any key operation on the operation panel or by the action of an original being placed for copying or facsimile transmission.

As an

ENERGY STAR

Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets the

ENERGY STAR

guidelines for energy efficiency.

This unit is an output sorter that has seven receiving bins. The bin to receive printed output can be selected in the printer driver. Each bin can be assigned to receiv e printed output by an individual person or by groups of people so that their prints are separated from other users making them easy to retrieve. When this unit is installed, any copies or facsimile prints will be sent to the top tray and not into the mail bins.
