INTRODUCTION

Abbreviated names of peripheral units

The following unit is written with an abbreviated name without some exceptions to simplify the description in this manual.

“B/W scanner module/DSPF”

The unit is written as “scanner module”.

NOTES

●

The scanner unit is a unit for scanning originals (automatic document feeder) when using the copier feature and

facsimile feature. In the touch panel messages in the scanner module, the “scanner module” is displayed as “document feeder”.

●

To use a scanned image as image data on a computer, a network scanner expansion kit (peripheral unit) is needed

in addition to the network printer environment.

“Duplex module”

This is a unit that allows printing onto two sides of paper. A single “duplex module” and a “duplex module/bypass tray” are supplied. In this manual, both units are written as “duplex module” with some exception and description is made mainly for the “duplex module/bypass tray”. The description for the bypass tray, therefore, is made only for the “duplex module/bypass tray”. In the pages of “duplex module”, illustrations with an output tray are used. This output tray is optional for both the duplex modules. (not included in the duplex modules)

MAIN FEATURES

Multi-function printer allowing extension of functions based on the purpose

This product is a multi-function printer that can be used as a local printer and a network printer as well as a copier, a network scanner, and a facsimile by combining peripheral units. Various optional units for improving productivity such as duplex modules for two-sided printing, additional paper feed units for large capacity paper stock, and paper output units for sorting printed sheets are provided as peripheral units.

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 the soothing function.

Monochrome high-speed printing

High-speed printing of 35 pages/minute or 45 pages/minute can be performed for 8-1/2" x 11" or A4 size.

PostScript compatible

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

ENERGY STAR

As an ENERGY STA R® Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STA R® guidelines for energy efficiency.

Energy saving feature

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

Preheat mode

The machine will enter the preheat mode once the time set with a key operator program has elapsed without any operation. In this mode, the fuser is maintained at a lower heat level thereby saving power.

Auto power shut-off mode

The machine will enter the auto power shut-off mode once the time set with a key operator program has elapsed without any operation. In this mode, power to the display and the fuser is turned off and only the lowest power is consumed. In this mode, power can be saved more than the preheat mode but more time is needed to return to the operating state. This mode can be disabled using a key operator program.

If this product is used as a printer, when print data is received in the preheat mode or the auto power shut-off mode, the mode will be automatically canceled and printing will start after the fuser temperature is restored to the normal operating level. If this product is used as a multi-function machine, the mode will be automatically canceled when print data or facsimile data is received or when any key operation on the operation panel or original setting operation for copying or facsimile transmission is performed.

Supplementary explanation for printing

1. When printing multiple sets, this printer always prints each set sequentially . (This printer does not print all copies of one page at a time.)

2. If you try to start printing through the parallel interface immediately after the printer is turned on (READ Y indicator not lit), printing may not be performed properly . Be sure to start printing through the parallel interface after ensuring that the printer becomes online.

3. To print onto A4R, B5R or 8-1/2" x 11"R paper , specify the tra y in which the desired paper has been loaded.

4. If paper must be added when paper has run out in the middle of a print job, be sure to set the paper in the same orientation. If the orientation is changed in the middle of a print job, part of images may not be printed. Image rotation will not occur in the middle of a print job.

5. When setting A5 or 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (invoice) size paper in a paper tra y or in the bypass tra y , be sure to set the paper longer side into the feed slot. If not, part of images may not be printed.

6. When setting postcards, 10-1/2" x 7-1/4" (executive) paper or custom size paper in a paper tray or in the bypass tray, be sure to set the paper shorter side into the feed slot. If not, part of images may not be printed.

7. If the tray to be used is open when a print job is sent to the printer, part of images may not be printed. Be sure to start printing after ensuring that all the trays are closed.

8. If the setting "collate" exists in the print dialog box or application's print settings, do not select this setting. This setting is not necessary because this printer always performs collated printing. If this setting is selected, two-sided printing or stapling in printing of multiple sets may not be performed properly .

9. With the PPD driver for Windows NT 4.0, the printer resident f onts cannot be specified. F ont downloading, therefore, is performed each time printing is executed.

10. Depending on print data, "VM error" or "Memory Full" error message may be printed on a page or improper printing (some images or characters are missing) may occur. This error occurs because of insufficient memory when printing a lot of data or complicated data. This error ma y be avoided b y adding an additional memory to the printer. If this error occurs frequently, contact your dealer.

DUPLEX MODULE

If a duplex module is installed, printing onto two sides of paper can be performed. Two types of duplex modules are provided: duplex module/bypass tray and duplex module. Both duplex modules are equipped with an exit port to which an optional exit tray can be mounted. This section describes supposing that an optional exit tray is mounted to a duplex module/bypass tray. For misfeed removal of the duplex module, see page xxx.

Part names

Exit tray The tray is extendable. To print onto large paper (8-1/2" x 14", 11" x 17", B4 or A3), extend the tray.

Bypass tray This tray can be used to print onto special papers including transparency film as well as plain paper. (See page xx.)

NOTES

●

Do not put pressure on the bypass tray or the exit tray.

●

Some other peripheral units may be needed for installation of the duplex module and some peripheral units cannot be installed together with the duplex module. For combination of the peripheral units, see the list of combination of peripheral units on page xxxx.

DUPLEX MODULE

Loading paper in the bypass tray (duplex module/bypass tray only)

If you use the bypass tray, you can print onto plain paper other than SHARP recommended paper and special papers including labels. Up to 100 sheets of SHARP recommended paper (up to xx sheets of postcards) can be set, allowing continuous printing in a similar way to paper trays.

NOTE

When setting paper in the bypass tray, be sure to set the paper type (step 4 on the next page).

Open the bypass tray.

When setting 11"x 17", 81/2" x 14", 8-1/2" x 11"R, A3, B4 or A4R paper, be sure to open 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.

Set the paper face down. If there is a clearance between the paper and the paper guides, adjust the guides again properly. If there is a clearance, paper may be fed obliquely or may be curled.

NOTES

●

When using 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R paper, A5R paper or postcards, be sure to set them shorter edge

into the feed slot as shown in the illustration.

●

When using plain paper other than SHARP recommended paper or special paper other than postcards and SHARP recommended transparency film, be sure to feed it one sheet at a time. If you set more than one sheet, a paper misfeed may occur.

●

When adding paper, first remove remaining paper, combine it with the paper to be added, and then reload as a single stack. Adding paper directly may cause a paper misfeed.

●

For transparency film, use SHARP recommended film. Set transparency film in the bypass tray with the label surface up. Printing onto the label surface may cause smudges on printouts.

●

Do not print onto paper that has been printed by a facsimile for plain paper or by another printer. Doing so may cause smudges on printouts.

●

When printing onto transparency film, be sure to remove it from the exit tray each time it is delivered. If the film is stacked in the exit tray, it may be curled.

Set the type of the loaded paper.

For paper types, see “Selecting paper type” of the

main unit (page xxxx).

Loading paper in the bypass tray is now complete.
