If the machine is left for a long time with the main power having been turned
off prior to the [POWER] key, abnormal noises, degraded image quality, and
other problems may result.
• Do not touch the transfer belt and the transfer roller. Scratches or smudges on
the transfer belt or the transfer roller will cause dirty prints.
• The fusing unit is extremely hot. Exercise care in
this area.
• Do not look directly at the light source. Doing so
may damage your eyes.
• The machine is heavy. To prevent injury when
moving the machine, it is recommended that it be
moved by four or more persons.
• Do not throw toner, a toner container (toner
cartridge), or a toner collection container into a
fire. Toner may fly and cause burns.
• Store toner, toner containers (toner cartridges),
and toner collection containers out of the reach of
children.
• Do not place the machine on a wobbly, slanted,
or unstable surface. Install the machine only on a
surface that can withstand the weight of the
machine.
• When unplugging the power cord, do not grasp and pull on the cord.

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.
2. Be sure to connect the power cord
only to a power outlet that meets
the specified voltage and current
requirements. Also make certain
the outlet is properly grounded.
• For the power supply
requirements, see the name plate
in the lower left corner of the left
side of the machine.
Connect the machine to a power
outlet which is not used for other
electric appliances. If a lighting
fixture is connected to the same
outlet, the light may flicker.
3. Do not install the machine in areas
that are:
• damp, humid, or very dusty
• exposed to direct sunlight
• subject to extreme temperature
or humidity changes, e.g., near
an air conditioner or heater
• poorly ventilated.
4. Be sure to allow the required space
around the machine for servicing
and proper ventilation.
5. The machine includes a built-in
hard drive. Do not subject the
machine to shock or vibration. In
particular, never move the machine
while the power is on.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
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 104°F (40°C). 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.

• 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 104°F (40°C). 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.
14
• 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

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%", colors in the output
may be faint or partially missing when an original or image with dark colors is
copied or printed.
