Notice for users in the UK
MAINS
The mains lead of this equipment is already fitted with a mains plug which is either a non-rewireable
(moulded) or a rewireable type. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved fuse
to BS1362 marked or and of the same rating as the one removed from the plug must
be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse on the moulded plug. Never use the plug without
the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied
either cut-off the moulded plug (if this type is fitted) or remove by undoing the screws if a rewireable
plug is fitted and fit an appropriate type observing the wiring code below.
DANGER: The fuse should be removed from the cut-off plug and the plug destroyed immediately
and disposed of in a safe manner. Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted
elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet as a serious electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
As the colours of the wires in this mains lead may not correspond with coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter E, or by the safety earth symbol Å@, or coloured green or greenand-yellow.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter
N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter L or coloured red.
If you have any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Improper installation may damage this product. Please note the following during
initial installation and whenever the machine is moved.
1. The machine should be installed
near an accessible power outlet for
easy connection.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION:
Do not install the machine in a location with poor air circulation.
A small amount of ozone is created inside the machine during printing. The amount of
ozone created is not sufficient to be harmful; however, an unpleasant odor may be
noticed during large copy runs, and thus the machine should be installed in a room with
a ventilation fan or windows that provide sufficient air circulation. (The odor may
occasionally cause headaches.)
* Install the machine so that people are not directly exposed to exhaust from the
machine. If installed near a window, ensure that the machine is not exposed to direct
sunlight.

SUPPLIES
Standard supplies for this product that can be replaced by the user include
paper, toner cartridges, and staple cartridges for the finisher.
Be sure to use only SHARP-specified products for the toner cartridges, finisher
staple cartridge, and transparency film.
For best copying results, be sure to use only Sharp Genuine
Supplies which are designed, engineered, and tested to
maximize the life and performance of Sharp products. Look for
the Genuine Supplies label on the toner package.
GENUINE SUPPLIES
Storage of supplies
Proper storage
1. Store the supplies in a location that is:
• clean and dry
• at normal temperature with minimal temperature fluctuations
• not exposed to direct sunlight
2. Store paper in the wrapper and lying flat.
3. Paper stored in packages standing up or out of the wrapper may curl or
become damp, resulting in paper misfeeds.
Storing toner cartridges
Store the box that contains the toner cartridge horizontally; do not store it
standing up. If the toner cartridge is stored standing up, the toner may solidify
inside the cartridge.
Store the toner in a location that is cooler than 40°C (104°F). Storage in a hot
location may cause the toner in the cartridge to solidify.
Staple cartridge
The finisher requires the following staple cartridge:
MX-SCX1 (for finisher)
Approx. 5000 per cartridge x 3 cartridges
Supply of spare parts and consumables
The supply of spare parts for repair of the machine is guaranteed for at least 7
years following the termination of production. Spare parts are those parts of the
machine which may break down within the scope of the ordinary use of the
product, whereas those parts which normally exceed the life of the product are
not to be considered as spare parts. Consumables too, are available for 7 years
following the termination of production.

REPLACING SUPPLIES AND MAINTENANCE
Take out the new toner cartridge, hold it with both
hands, and shake 5 or 6 times horizontally.
Protective
material
3
• When shaking the toner cartridge, be sure to shake with the protective
material inserted in the cartridge. If you shake the cartridge after
removing the protective material, toner may spill out.
• Shake the toner cartridge only in the horizontal direction. If shaken in
any other direction, toner may collect in one part of the cartridge.
Remove the protective material from the new toner
cartridge.
4
• Hold the toner cartridge firmly while removing the protective material.
• After the protective material has been removed, do not point the toner
cartridge down or shake it. Toner may spill out.
13
REPLACING SUPPLIES AND MAINTENANCE
Insert the new toner cartridge horizontally and
push it firmly in.
The shape of the toner cartridge varies by colour. Insert in the same location as
the toner cartridge that was removed.
5
14
REPLACING SUPPLIES AND MAINTENANCE
Close the front cover.
6
• After the toner cartridge is replaced, the machine automatically enters
image adjustment mode. Image adjustment will not take place if the
cover is not closed.
• Take care that your fingers are not pinched when closing the cover.
Caution
• Do not throw a toner cartridge into a fire. Toner may fly and cause burns.
• Store toner cartridges out of the reach of small children.
• Store the box that contains the toner cartridge horizontally; do not store it
standing up. If the toner cartridge is stored standing up, the toner may solidify
inside the cartridge.
Store the toner in a location that is cooler than 40°C (104°F). Storage in a hot
location may cause the toner in the cartridge to solidify.
• If a toner cartridge other than a SHARP-recommended toner cartridge is
used, the machine may not attain full quality and performance and there is a
risk of damage to the machine. Be sure to use a SHARP-recommended
toner cartridge.
• Keep the used toner cartridge in a plastic bag (do not discard it). Your service
technician will collect the used toner cartridge.
• To view the approximate amount of
toner remaining, continually touch
the [COPY] key during printing or
when the machine is idle. The
percentage of toner remaining will
appear in the display while the key
Total Count B/W:00,000,000
Full Colour:00,000,000
2-colour:00,000,000
Single colour:00,000,000
is touched. When the percentage
falls to "25-0%", obtain a new toner
cartridge and keep it ready for replacement. When the remaining toner falls
to "25-0%", colours in the output may be faint or partially missing when an
original or image with dark colours is copied or printed.
