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.

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.

250 sheets (150 sheets when the job separator tray kit is installed).

• About one minute after copying ends, "Auto clear" (p.22) activates and restores the copy settings to the initial settings. The duration of time after which "Auto clear" clears the copy settings can be changed in the system settings. (p.118)

• To stop copying in the middle of a run, press the [C] key. If you find it difficult to remove the original from the document feeder tray, open the feeding roller cover before removing the original. If you pull out the original without opening the feeding roller cover, the original may become dirty.

COPY FUNCTIONS

Auto paper select mode (when there are two or more paper trays)

When auto paper select mode is enabled, "AUTO" appears in the paper size display. This function automatically selects paper that is the same size as the original (A5, B5, B5R, A4, A4R, B4, A3, 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", 8-1/2" x 11", 8-1/2" x 11"R, 8-1/2" x 13", 8-1/2" x 14", 11" x 17" paper).

• The sizes of paper that can be used vary by country and region.

• If a zoom setting is selected after placing the original, the paper size that is appropriate for the zoom setting will be automatically selected.

• "Auto paper select mode" is cancelled if the automatic ratio selection is enabled (p.37) or if a tray is selected with the [PAPER SELECT] key. Auto paper select resumes operation when the [CA] key is pressed or when "Auto clear time" activates.

• "Auto paper select mode" can be disabled in the system settings. (p.123)

Removing the document cover

To copy large originals like newspapers, remove the document cover. To remove it, open the document cover and lift it at a slightly backward angle. To replace the cover, do the reverse. The SPF/RSPF cannot be removed.

Copying books or originals with folds or creases

Press down on the document cover/SPF/RSPF while copying as shown. If the document cover/SPF/RSPF is not completely closed, shadows may appear on the copy or it may be fuzzy. Straighten originals with folds or creases well before placing.

Originals that can be used in the SPF/RSPF

Originals that are A5 to A3 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 11" x 17") and 56 g/m can be used. A maximum of 40 pages can be placed at once. For originals that are B4 (8-1/2" x 14") or larger (B4, A3 (8-1/2" x 14", 11" x 17")), a maximum of 30 pages can be placed at once.

• Make sure that there are no paper clips or

Note

staples on the original.

• Straighten curled originals before placing them in the document feeder tray. Curled original may cause misfeeds.

• When you set multiple sheets of thick original, if the original is not fed, reduce the number of the set originals.

to 90 g/m2 (15 lbs. to 24 lbs.)

Originals that cannot be used in the SPF/RSPF

The following originals cannot be used. These may cause misfeeds or smudging and unclear images.

• Transparencies, tracing paper, other transparent or translucent paper, and photographs.

• Carbon paper, thermal paper.

• Originals that are creased, folded, or torn.

• Glued originals, cut-out originals.

• Originals with binder holes.

• Originals printed using an ink ribbon (thermal transfer printing), originals on thermal transfer paper.

Stream feeding mode

If "Stream feeding mode" is enabled in the system settings (p.122), the SPF/RSPF indicator will blink for about 5 seconds after all originals are fed. If a new original is placed in the SPF/RSPF during this time, the original will be automatically fed in and copying will begin.

COPY FUNCTIONS

Points concerning the position of the printed copy image

Even if the same original is copied onto the same type of paper, differences in the original size, scanning location (document glass or document feeder tray), selected paper tray, enlargement/reduction ratio, and other conditions may cause the position of the printed copy image on the paper to vary. As shown in the following example, when an original smaller than the paper size (for example, A5 original and A3 paper) is copied from the document glass, the position of the printed copy image on the paper is different when paper from tray 1 is used (1) and paper from the bypass tray is used (2).

SELECTING THE TRAY

Auto paper select mode (p.31) normally operates (unless it has been disabled), and thus when the original is placed on the document glass and the original size is selected, or when the original is placed in the SPF/RSPF, the tray with the same size of paper as the original is automatically selected. If you wish to use a tray other than the automatically selected tray (for example you wish to enlarge or reduce the copy or use the bypass tray), press the [PAPER SELECT] key to select the desired tray.

Note

• If the desired paper size does not appear, change the paper in a tray to the desired paper size.

• Automatic ratio selection (p.37) does not operate when the bypass tray or a tray set for a special paper size is selected.

(p.26)

Auto tray switching (when there are two or more paper trays)

If the tray runs out of paper during copying and there is another tray with the same size of paper and the same feeding orientation (horizontal or vertical), the other tray is automatically selected and copying continues. "Auto tray switching" can be disabled in the system settings (p.123).

SETTING THE NUMBER OF COPIES

Press the numeric keys to set the number of copies.

WXYZ

• The set number of copies appears in the display. A maximum of 999 copies (factory default setting) can be set.

• A single copy can be made even if "0" is displayed.

Note

• If you enter the wrong number, press the [C] key and enter the correct number.

• The limit for the number of copies can be changed in the system settings. (p.123)

Important note when making a large number of copies

If the number of sheets output to the centre tray exceed its maximum capacity (250 sheets when a job separator tray kit is not installed, 150 sheets when a job separator tray kit is installed) during a copy job, the copy job will stop temporarily. If this happens, promptly remove the copies and press the [OK] key to resume copying. The copy job will step each time the number of sheets in the centre tray reach its maximum capacity. Before starting a long copy run, remove any sheets that remain in the centre tray. During output of the copy job, exercise care as the job may stop frequently due to the centre tray becoming full.

Poor scanning quality.

Original smudged or blotchy.

→ Use a clean original.

You have not specified a suitable resolution.

→ Make sure that the resolution setting in the scanner driver is

appropriate for the original.

You are scanning a large area (for example an entire A3 (11" x 17")) at high resolution.

→ If you attempt to scan a large area at high resolution and there is

insufficient memory in the machine to hold the scanned data, scanning will take place at a lower resolution and the scanner driver will enhance the data to make up for the lower resolution. However, the quality of the enhanced image will not be as high as if scanning took place at the higher resolution. Use a lower resolution setting, or scan a smaller area.

You have not specified a suitable value for the "B/W Threshold" setting.

→ If you are scanning with a TWAIN-compliant application, make

sure that a suitable value is specified for the "B/W Threshold" setting. A larger threshold value makes your output darker, while a small threshold value makes it lighter. To adjust the threshold automatically, click the "Auto Threshold" button on the "Image" tab of the "Professional" screen.

The brightness and contrast settings are not suitable.

→ If you are scanning with a TWAIN-compliant application and the

resulting image has unsuitable brightness or contrast (for example it is too bright), click the "Auto Brightness/Contrast Adjustment" button on the "Colour" tab of the "Professional" screen. Click the "Brightness/Contrast" button to adjust the brightness and the contrast while viewing the scanned output image on the screen. If you are scanning with a WIA-compliant application or the "Scanner and Camera Wizard", click "Adjust the quality of the scanned picture" or the "Custom settings" button, and adjust the brightness and contrast in the screen that appears.

Problem Cause and solution Page

Unable to scan the image.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If scanning is not possible, shut down your computer, turn off the machine’s power switch, and unplug the machine’s power cord. Next, start your computer, restore power to the machine, and try scanning again. If scanning is still not possible, check the following items.

Your application is not TWAIN/WIA compliant.

→ If your application is not TWAIN/WIA compliant, scanning will not

be possible. Make sure your application is TWAIN/WIA compliant.

You have not selected the scanner driver of the machine in your application.

→ Make sure that the machine’s scanner driver is selected in your

TWAIN/WIA-compliant application.

You have not specified all scanning preferences appropriately.

→ Scanning a large area at high resolution results in a large amount

of data and extended scanning times. The scanning preferences should be set appropriately for type of original to be scanned, i.e., Text, Text/Graphics, Photograph.

–

Scanner transfer speed is slow.

There is not enough machine memory.

→ The scan resolution will vary depending on the scanning area and

how much memory in the machine is free.

Your computer does not meet the system requirements for the USB 2.0 interface (Hi-Speed mode).
