LOADING PAPER

Special papers

Follow these guidelines when using special papers.

● 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.

LOADING THE PAPER TRAY

Note

Make sure that the paper is not torn, is free of dust, and has no wrinkles or curled edges.

Raise the handle of the paper tray and pull the paper tray out until it stops.

Remove the pressure plate lock. Rotate the pressure plate lock in the direction of the arrow to remove it while pressing down the pressure plate of the paper tray.

LOADING PAPER

Store the pressure plate lock which has been removed in step

2. To store the pressure plate lock, rotate the lock to secure it as shown below.

Fan the paper and insert it into the tray. Make sure that the

edges go under the corner hooks.

Note

• Do not load paper above the maximum height line ( ). Exceeding the line will cause a paper misfeed.

• If the paper is not fanned, double-feeds or misfeeds may occur.

• Make sure the stack of paper is straight before loading it. When adding paper, take the remaining paper out and combine it into a single stack with the new paper.

• Make sure that all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.

• When loading paper, ensure that there is no space between the paper and the guide, and make sure that the guide is not set too narrow and causes the paper to bend. Incorrect loading will cause the paper to skew or misfeed.

Pressure plate lock

Gently push the paper tray back into the machine.

Note

• If you loaded a paper size that is different from the previously loaded paper size, change the paper size setting as explained in "CHANGING A TRAY'S PAPER SIZE SETTING" (p.23)

• When not using the machine for an extended period, remove all paper from the paper tray and store it in a dry place. If paper is left in the machine for an extended period, the paper will absorb moisture from the air, resulting in paper jams.

BYPASS FEED (including special paper)

The bypass tray can be used to feed standard paper, transparency film, labels, envelopes, and other special purpose paper.

Important points when inserting paper in the bypass tray

Up to 50 sheets of standard copy paper can be inserted in the bypass tray. (Capacity will vary depending on the type of paper loaded.) Be sure to place envelopes horizontally as shown in the following diagram.

Available

• When loading envelopes, make sure that they are straight and flat and do not have loosely glued construction flaps (not the closure flap).

• Special papers such as SHARP recommended transparency film, labels, and envelopes must be fed one sheet at a time through the bypass tray.

• When adding paper, first remove any paper remaining in the tray, combine it with the paper to be added and then reload as a single stack. The paper to be added must be the same size and type as the paper already in the tray.

• Do not use paper that is smaller than the original. This may cause smudges or unclean images.

• Do not use paper that has already been printed on by a laser printer or plain paper fax machine. This may cause smudges or unclean images.

Not

Available

Envelopes

Do not use the following envelopes, as misfeeds will occur.

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

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

MAKING COPIES

This chapter explains basic copying functions.

NORMAL COPYING

Using the document glass

Note

• The document glass can scan up to 8-1/2" x 14" original.

• When a copy is made, the edges will not be copied (image loss). For the image loss, see the "SPECIFICATIONS" (p.91).

Open the RSPF, and place the original face down on the document glass.

[How to place the original]

Align the original with the original scale and the centering ( ) mark.

Gently close the RSPF.

By factory default, when a copy is made with the RSPF cover open, the function for preventing excessive toner use activates and "CHECK ORIGINAL" appears in the display. (See the "Check RSPF open function" (p.25).)

If the start ( ) key is pressed when the RSPF cover is not completely closed, "CHECK ORIGINAL" will appear in the display and copying may not take place. If copying does not take place, copying can be performed by pressing the start ( ) key again, however, the scan size set in "CHANGING A TRAY'S PAPER SIZE SETTING" (p.23) or "VALID COPY WIDTH" (program number 25) (p.65) will be used. If the RSPF cover is completely closed after "CHECK ORIGINAL" appears, copying will take place at the normal size.

Note

When this function is off, if the [Start] key ( ) is pressed to make a copy with the RSPF cover open, parts outside of the original will be copied black. Even when this function is on, if the [Start] key ( ) is pressed twice to make a copy with the RSPF cover open, parts outside the original may be copied black. To prevent excessive use of toner, make sure that the RSPF cover is closed when making a copy.

Using the RSPF

• Originals that are 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 8-1/2" x 14" and 15 lbs. to 24 lbs. (56 g/

to 90 g/m2) can be used. A maximum of 50 pages can be placed at once.

Note

Make sure that an original has not been left on the document

glass.

Adjust the original guides to the size of

the originals.

Place the original(s) face up in the

document feeder tray without trying to force them in.

The RSPF indicator on the operation panel will light up. If this indicator does not light up, the originals are not properly set or the RSPF is not properly closed.

Select the number of copies and any other copy settings, and then

press the [START] key ( ).

Note

• Straighten curled originals before placing them in the document feeder tray. Curled originals may cause misfeeds.

Skin irritation : Not an irritant (Rabbits) Skin sensitizer : No sensitization

Mutagenicity : Negative(Ames Test). Carcinogenicity : In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human

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
