POWER ON AND OFF

The power switch is located on the left side of the machine.

POWER ON

Turn the power switch to the "ON" position.

POWER OFF

Make sure that the machine is not in operation and then turn the power switch to the "OFF" position.

It will take about 25 seconds for the machine to warm up. While the machine is warming up, the START indicator will blink. (The START indicator will light up when the machine is ready

to copy.) However, you can make desired settings and press

the [START] key ( ) during warm-up. Copying will start after warm-up.

• The machine reverts to the initial settings when it is first turned on, when the [CA] key is pressed, or when no

Note

keys are pressed for the preset "Auto clear" time following the end of a copy job. When the machine reverts to the initial settings, all settings and functions selected to that point are cancelled. The "Auto clear" time can be changed in the system settings. (p.118)

• The machine is initially set to automatically enter power save mode if not used for copying or printing, for a preset period of time. This setting can be changed in the system settings. (p.120)

If the power switch is turned off while the machine is in operation, a misfeed may occur and the job that was in progress will be cancelled.

Power save modes

The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption thereby reducing the cost of operation. In addition, these modes conserve natural resources and help reduce environmental pollution. The two power save modes are "Preheat mode" and "Auto power shut-off mode".

Preheat mode

This function automatically switches the machine to a low power consumption state if the duration of time set in the system settings elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. In preheat mode the display turns off. Normal operation automatically resumes when a key on the operation panel is pressed, an original is placed, or a print job or fax is received.

Auto power shut-off mode

This function automatically switches the machine to a state that consumes even less power than preheat mode if the duration of time set in the system settings elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. During auto power shut-off, only the START indicator blinks. To restore the machine to normal operation, press the [START] key. Normal operation also resumes automatically when a print job or fax is received or scanning is begun from a computer. While auto power shut-off is in effect, pressing a key other than the [START] key will have no effect.

Note

The preheat activation time and the "Auto power shut-off timer" can be changed using system settings. It is suggested that you set times that are appropriate for your usage of the machine. (p.120)

Default settings

The machine is set at the factory to return all settings to the default settings one minute after a copy job is finished (auto clear function) or when the [CA] key is pressed. When the settings return to the default settings, any functions that were selected are cancelled. The auto clear time can be changed in the system settings. (p.118) In the default state the display shown below appears. The default state of the display may vary depending on

settings in the system settings.

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 your authorised service representative.

● Before using other than SHARP recommended paper, make a test copy to see if the paper is suitable.

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE

LOADING PAPER

Make sure that the machine is not copying or printing, and then follow these steps to load paper.

Loading the paper tray

Gently lift and pull out the paper tray

until it stops.

Adjust the plates in the tray to the

length and width of the paper.

Plate B

Plate A

• The plate A is a slide-type guide. Grasp the locking knob on the guide and slide the guide to the indicator line of the paper to be loaded.

• The plate B is an insert-type guide. Remove it and then insert it at the indicator line of the paper to be loaded.

• When using 11" x 17" sized paper store the plate B in the slot at the left front of the paper tray.

Load paper into the tray.

Note

• Do not load paper higher than the line on the tray (up to 250 sheets).

• Do not add paper to the loaded paper. It may cause multiple feed of paper.

• A5 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2") can be used in the upper paper tray but cannot be used in other trays (including trays in optional paper feeding unit).

• Open the package of the paper and load it without fanning the paper.

• Make sure the stack of paper is straight before loading it.

Push the pressure plate down.

Push the centre of the pressure plate down until it locks into place.

For how to load paper, refer to the steps below.

Gently push the paper tray into the

machine.

Note

• If you loaded a different size of paper than was loaded previously in the tray, go to "CHANGING THE PAPER SIZE SETTING OF A TRAY" (p.26).

• When misfeed occurs, rotate the paper 180 degrees and reload it.

• Straighten curled paper before using it.

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE

Loading the bypass tray

Unfold the bypass tray.

When feeding large paper such as B4 and A3 (8-1/2" x 14" and 11" x 17"), pull out the bypass tray extension.

Set the paper guides to the copy

paper width.

Insert the paper (print face down) all

the way into the bypass tray.

To prevent a misfeed, verify once more that the paper guides are adjusted to the width of the paper.

Note

• If you loaded paper in the bypass tray, press the [PAPER SELECT] key to select the bypass tray.

• If you load thick paper in the bypass tray, press the [PAPER] key until "EXTRA" is highlighted. The paper type is set to thick paper. The setting is cleared when "Auto clear" works or the [CA] key is pressed. For restrictions on paper types and weights, see "PAPER" (p.23).

Important points when inserting paper in the bypass tray

• Up to 100 sheets of standard copy paper can be set in the bypass tray.

• Be sure to place A6, B6 or 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" size paper or envelopes horizontally as shown in the following diagram. (When using the printer: Same as the direction for the A4 size paper, etc)

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 except 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.
