If there are multiple lighting patterns for the information indicator, then that which is later has priority. The previous information indicator lighting pattern turns off, then the information indicator lights in accordance with the later generated lighting pattern. However, if lighting pattern 3 and another lighting pattern overlap, then lighting pattern 3 will have priority, and the other pattern will not be received until lighting pattern 3 is completed.

APPLICABLE PAPER TYPES

This section describes paper types that can be used and those that cannot be used. All types of paper other than plain paper are referred to as special media.

• Various types of paper are commercially available, some of which cannot be used on the machine. Before using any paper, consult the dealer or nearest SHARP Service Department.

• The image quality and toner fusibility of paper may change due to ambient conditions, operating conditions, and paper characteristics, resulting in image quality inferior to that of Sharp standard paper. Before using any paper, consult the dealer or nearest SHARP Service Department.

• The use of non-recommended or non-usable paper may result in skewed feeding, misfeeds, poor toner fusing (the toner does not adhere to the paper well and can be rubbed off), or machine failure.

• The use of non-recommended paper may result in misfeeds or poor image quality. Before using non-recommended paper, check whether printing can be performed properly.

Important points when using envelopes

• Do not print the rear surface (the side with adhesive) of the envelope. This may result in misfeeds or poor print quality.

• Restrictions apply to some types of envelopes. For more information, consult a qualified service technician.

• Some operating environments may cause creasing, smudging, misfeeds, poor toner fusing, or machine failure.

• When placing multiple envelopes, they may not be fed if the print surface not being flat, instead being fed on an angle.

• Feeding of thick envelopes may not be possible.

• Envelopes with low surface smoothness may not be able to be fed.

• Do not use the following envelopes:

• Those with a string for closing

• Those with a metal piece, a plastic hook or a ribbon hook

• Those with a lining

• Those with an uneven surface, finished with titling or emboss

• Lined envelopes and other items that use adhesives or other composites for sealing may have this substance melt because of heat from the fusing unit.

• Hand-made envelopes

• Those containing air inside

• Those with wrinkles, bending marks, cuts, or other damage.

• Envelopes whose surface has deteriorated or whose shape has been deformed due to long-term storage or moisture absorption cannot be used.

• Those with four or more layers of lamination cannot be fed.

• Those with a window

Fold the flap of the envelope and make a sharp crease at the fold. A misfeed may occur if the flap is up.

Can be used

Cannot be used

• Envelopes with the corner gluing position on the back not aligned with the corner edge cannot be used as it may cause creasing.

• Print quality is not guaranteed in the area 13/32" (10 mm) around the edges of the envelope.

• Print quality is not guaranteed on parts of envelopes where there is a large step-like change of thickness, such as on four-layer parts or parts less than three layers.

• In the case of landscape envelopes, make sure that flaps are not in the range where the bypass feed roller moves on.

• Press envelopes to bleed air inside, and press creases on all 4 sides well before setting. In addition, when envelopes are warped or bent, straighten them using hard objects such as pencil or ruler before setting.

• Align on a flat surface

• Some envelopes may not be usable due to the shape of the flap or the type of envelope.

1-24

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE►LOADING PAPER

Important points when using embossed paper/label sheets

• The effect of asperity surfaces of embossed paper may affect the print quality depending on the type of embossed paper. For more information, consult the dealer or nearest SHARP Service Department.

• Some labels may have to be loaded into the bypass tray in the specified orientation. Follow such instructions. If a form is already printed on the labels, and the print images and the preprinted form do not line up, adjust the application or printer driver settings to rotate the print images.

• Do not use the following types of label sheets.

• Label sheets without an adhesive copy or label copy

• Label sheets with adhesive exposed

• Label sheets with a specified feeding direction that is not supported by the machine

• A label sheet that has already been fed or has some labels removed

• Label sheets consisting of multiple sheets

• Label sheets that do not support laser printing

• Label sheets that cannot withstand heat

• Label sheets that have perforations in the backing paper

1-25

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE►LOADING PAPER

Do not place heavy objects on the bypass tray or press down on the tray.

Open the bypass tray.

When loading paper larger than 8-1/2" x 11"R or A4R, pull out the extension guide. Pull the extension guide all the way out.

Load the paper with the print side facing down.

Insert the paper along the bypass tray guides all the way into the bypass tray until it stops slowly. Inserting the paper with excessive force may cause the leading edge to fold back. Inserting the paper too loosely may cause skewed feeding or misfeeds. The paper must not exceed the maximum number of sheets and must not be higher than the indicator line.

Set the bypass tray guides correctly to the width of the paper.

Adjust the bypass tray guides so that they slightly contact the loaded paper.

For "Letter Head" and "Pre-Printed", set the paper with the print side up. However, when [Disabling of Duplex] is enabled, set the print side in the same orientation as in the regular mode (facing down).

• Do not forcefully push in paper that you are loading. This may cause misfeeds.

• If the bypass tray guides are set wider than the paper, move the bypass tray guides in until they correctly fit the width of the paper. If the bypass guides are set too wide, the paper may skew or be creased.

• How to close the bypass tray

Remove any paper remaining in the bypass tray. When the extension guide is pulled, push the extension guide into the bypass tray and then close the bypass tray.

AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER

This section explains how to place originals in the automatic document feeder.

• Place originals of different sizes together, if needed, in the automatic document feeder. In that case, use the "Others" function in each mode to set [Mixed Size Original].

• See the following pages for the combinations of document sizes that can be loaded. Copy: SCANNING ORIGINALS OF DIFFERENT SIZES (MIXED SIZE ORIGINAL) (page 3-93) Fax/Scanner: SCANNING ORIGINALS OF DIFFERENT SIZES (MIXED SIZE ORIGINAL) (page 6-99)

• Before inserting originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips.

• If originals have damp spots due to correction fluid, ink or paste up glue, wait until the originals are dry before making copies. Otherwise the interior of the machine or the document glass may be soiled.

• Do not use the following originals. Incorrect original size detection, original misfeeds, and smudges may result. Transparency film or other transparent material for backup copy, 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, folded, loosely pasted together, or have cut-out holes. Originals with multiple punched holes other than two-hole or three-hole punched paper may not feed correctly.

• Business cards may not be scanned correctly depending on the condition, material, shape and processing method used. (Business cards can be set in the automatic document feeder of the BP-70C31/BP-70C36/BP-70C45/ BP-70C55/BP-70C65.)

• When using originals with two or three holes, place them so that the punched edge is at a position away from the feed slot of the document feeder tray. Specify the orientation of the original using [Original].

Feed slot

• Depending on the condition of the original, the type of paper, and the temperature and humidity of the environment in which the machine is used, multiple sheets of paper may be fed at the same time and may not be scanned correctly, or the ejected originals may not be neatly aligned. It may be improved by the following settings.

• For copying: Set the resolution to 600x600dpi

• For scan transmission: use "Preview"

• When the document rolls in the original exit tray on the automatic document feeder, fix the paper fixing arm at the center to the top.
