THE OPERATION PANEL CANNOT BE USED
CheckSolution
Is the main power indicator lit?■ If the main power indicator is not lit up, turn the machine's power on.
Make sure that the power plug is firmly inserted in the power outlet, switch the
main power switch to the "" position,
Did you just power on the machine?■ Wait until a message appears indicating that the machine is ready.
After the [Power] button is turned on, the machine requires some time to
complete warmup operation. During warmup operation, functions can be
selected, but a job cannot be run.
Is the [Power Save Mode] button
blinking?
Is a cover open or a device separated
from the machine?
Did login fail three times in a row?■ After operation unlocks, log in using the correct user information.
Does a message appear indicating
that Auto Login failed?

Code:xx-xx*." appear in the touch
panel?
*Letters and numbers appear in xx-xx.
■ Auto Power Shut-Off mode has activated. To return the machine to normal
operation, press the [Power Save Mode] button. For more information, see the
"User's Manual" .
■ Read the message and take appropriate actions.
A warning message will appear when a cover is open or a device is separated
from the machine.
When [A Warning when Login Fails] is enabled in the setting mode and login fails
3 times in a row, a warning will be displayed and user authentication operation
will lock for 5 minutes.
(If you do not know your user information, contact your administrator.)
■ Check with your administrator.
Auto Login failed due to network or other problems. If you are the administrator,
tap the [Administrator Password] key, log in as an administrator, and temporarily
change the auto login settings in the setting mode. (Restore the changed settings
to their original state after the problems have been solved.)
■ Turn on the machine power again.
■ Make sure that the background color of the job status display at the upper right
corner of the touch panel is gray, and press the [Power] button and then turn the
main power switch to the "" position. Wait at least 10 seconds and then turn
the main power switch to the "" position.
■ If the message still appears after switching the [Power] button and the main
power switch off and on several times, it is likely that a failure has occurred that
requires service. In this event, stop using the machine, unplug the power plug,
and contact your dealer or nearest SHARP Service Department. (When

facing in the correct direction?
A COVER OR INSERT IS NOT PRINTED ON THE
SPECIFIED PAPER
CheckSolution

Place the paper with the print side face down.*
* When the paper type is "Pre-Printed" or "Letter Head", load the paper in the
opposite way.
(Except when [Disabling of Duplex] is enabled in the setting mode
(administrator).
For information about the setting mode, consult your administrator.)
■ Set the correct paper type for the tray that contains the paper specified for the
cover or insert.
If the paper type set for the cover or insert is not the same as the paper type set
for the tray, paper will be fed from a different tray.
■ Ask your dealer if the device is compatible with the machine.
USB devices that are not compatible with the machine cannot be used.
■ When a USB device is connected to the machine and correctly recognized, an
icon () will appear at the top of the touch panel. If it is not recognized, connect
it once again.
