This Service Manual uses some symbols to assure safe operation.
This Service Manual uses some symbols to assure safe operation.
Please understand the meanings of photographs before servicing.
WARNING: If this WARNING should be ignored, a serious
danger to life or a serious injury could result.
CAUTION: If this CAUTION should be ignored, an injury or
a damage to properties could result.
1. Precautions for servicing
1) When servicing, disconnect the power plug, the printer cable,
the network cable, and the telephone line from the machine,
except when performing the communication test, etc.
It may cause an injury or an electric shock.
2) There is a high temperature area inside the machine. Use an
extreme care when servicing.
It may cause a burn.
3) There is a high voltage section inside the machine which may
cause an electric shock. Be careful when servicing.
4) Do not disassemble the laser unit. Do not insert a reflective
material such as a screwdriver in the laser beam path.
It may damage eyes by reflection of laser beams.
5) When servicing with the machine operating, be careful not to
squeeze you hands by the chain, the belt, the gear, and other
driving sections.
6) Do not leave the machine with the cabinet disassembled.
Do not allow any person other than a serviceman to touch
inside the machine. It may cause an electric shock, a burn, or
an injury.
7) When servicing, do not breathe toner, developer, and ink
excessively. Do not get them in the eyes.
If toner, developer, or ink enters you eyes, wash it away with
water immediately, and consult a doctor if necessary.
8) The machine has got sharp edges inside. Be careful not to
damage fingers when servicing.
9) Do not throw toner or a toner cartridge in a fire. Otherwise,
toner may pop and burn you.
10) When replacing the lithium battery of the PWB, use a specified
one only.
If a battery of different specification is used, it may be broken,
causing breakdown or malfunction of the machine.
11) When carrying a unit with PWB or electronic parts installed to
it, be sure to put it in an anti-static-electricity bag.
It may cause a breakdown or malfunctions.
• Gas tube
5GTXKEG/CPWCN
• Lightning conductor
• A water pipe or a water faucet, which is not recognized as a
grounding object by the authorities.
• Grounding wire for telephone line
5) Do not damage, break, or work the power cord.
Do not put heavy objects on the power cable. Do not bend it
forcibly or do not pull it extremely.
It may cause a fire or an electric shock.
6) Keep the power cable away from a heat source.
Do not insert the power plug with dust on it into a power outlet.
It may cause a fire or an electric shock.
7) Do not put a receptacle with water in it or a metal piece which
may drop inside the machine.
It may cause a fire or an electric shock.
8) With wet or oily hands, do not touch the power plug, do not
insert the telephone line jack, do not operate the machine, or
do not perform servicing.
It may cause an electric shock.
3. Note for installing site
Do not install the machine at the following sites.
1) Place of high temperature, high humidity, low tempera-
ture, low humidity, place under an extreme change in temperature and humidity.
Paper may get damp and form dews inside the machine, causing paper jam or copy dirt.
For operating and storing conditions, refer to the specifications
described later.
2) Place of much vibrations
It may cause a breakdown.
2. Warning for servicing
1) Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that
meets the specified voltage and current requirements.
Avoid complex wiring, which may lead to a fire or an electric
shock.
It may cause a fire or an electric shock.
2) If there is any abnormality such as a smoke or an abnormal
smell, interrupt the job and disconnect the power plug.
It may cause a fire or an electric shock.
3) Be sure to connect the grounding wire. If an electric leakage
occurs without grounding, a fire or an electric shock may
result.
To protect the machine and the power unit from lightening,
grounding must be made.
4) When connecting the grounding wire, never connect it to the
following points.
It may cause an explosion, a fire or an electric shock.
MX3500N NOTE FOR SERVICING - i
3) Poorly ventilated place
An electro-static type copier will produce ozone inside it.
The quantity of ozone produced is designed to a low level so
as not to affect human bodies. However, continuous use of
such a machine may produce a smell of ozone. Install the
machine in a well ventilated place, and ventilate occasionally.
4) Place of direct sunlight.
Plastic parts and ink may be deformed, discolored, or may
undergo qualitative change.
It may cause a breakdown or copy dirt.
5) Place which is full of organic gases such as ammonium
The organic photoconductor (OPC) drum used in the machine
may undergo qualitative change due to organic gases such as
ammonium.
Installation of this machine near a diazo-type copier may result
in dirt copy.
6) Place of much dust
When dusts enter the machine, it may cause a breakdown or
copy dirt.
7) Place near a wall
Some machine require intake and exhaust of air.
If intake and exhaust of air are not properly performed, copy
dirt or a breakdown may be resulted.

8) Unstable or slant surface
If the machine drops or fall down, it may cause an injury or a
breakdown.
If there are optional paper desk and the copier desk specified,
it is recommendable to use them.
When using the optional desk, be sure to fix the adjuster and
lock the casters.

[1]PRODUCT OUTLINE
1. Product features
A. Features
(1) Features
1) The employment of newly developed toner reduces the toner
consumption remarkably, realizing high fidelity pictures of
human skin, half tone, and hair. In addition, the employment of
"Auto Color" function, Sharp's unique auto recognition function, reproduces documents of difficult reproduction.
2) The power consumption for FAX standby with the power OFF
is 1W or less, reducing energy expenses of nighttime and load
to the environment.
3) Extension of the lifetime of the OPC drums together with the
frequency of maintenance realizes resource saving.
4) The unique security system inhibits unauthorized use of the
machine, preventing against leak of information.
• The electronic data are encrypted and saved in the hard
disk. When copying or printing or when sending FAX or
scanning, data are automatically erased to protect against
leak of important information (When option installed.).
• The user authentication system by a login name, a pass-
word, and an e-mail address is employed to prevent against
unauthorized use of a third party and to limit the use quantity
and usable functions for each user group. In addition, the
user authentication by the optional IC card read/writer may
be used.
(2) Environmental features
5GTXKEG/CPWCN
• Energy saving design by pre-heat mode/auto power shut-off
mode.
• Conforms to the International EnergyStar program.
• Conforms to the standards of Law on Promoting Green Purchasing.
• Conforms to the Europe RoHS regulations.
(The contents of lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, cadmium,
PBB [polybrominated biphenyl], PBDE [polybrominated diphenyl
ether] are limited to the regulated level or less.)
5) The open systems architecture (Sharp OSA) is supported
which provides application development environment according to user's needs.
6) Compact area for installation even to a space for a monochrome machine
The machine can be installed to a space for a monochrome
machine, the smallest space in the class of 645mm (W) x
670mm (D), helping backup of color documentations in an
office. The installation of the optional finisher (MX-FNX1)
which is stored in the center paper exit section of the machine
allows stapling and finishing such as punch holes automatically, improving the work efficiency.
