INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a SHARP digital multifunction copier. Please read this manual before using the machine. In particular, be sure to read "INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS" before using the machine. Please keep this manual close at hand for reference whenever necessary. This manual provides general information on using the machine, such as routine maintenance and how to load paper and remove misfeeds. It also explains how to use the copier and document filing functions. Separate manuals have been provided for the fax function, printer function, and network scanner function.

■ Original and paper sizes

This machine allows use of standard sizes in both the inch and AB systems. These are shown in the tables below.

Sizes in the inch system Sizes in the AB system 11" x 17" (LEDGER) A3 8-1/2" x 14" (LEGAL) B4 8-1/2" x 13" (FOOLSCAP) A4 8-1/2" x 11" (LETTER) B5 7-1/4" x 10-1/2" (EXECUTIVE) A5 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (INVOICE)

■ The meaning of "R" in original and paper size indications

Some original and paper sizes can be placed in either the portrait or landscape orientations. To differentiate between landscape and portrait, the landscape orientation size indication will contain an "R". These are indicated as 8-1/2" x 11"R, 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R, A4R, B5R, etc. Sizes that can be placed only in the landscape orientation (11" x 17", 8-1/2" x 14", 8-1/2" x 13", A3, B4) do not contain the "R" in their size indication.

The Environmental Choice Program guidelines are applied to the products only in Canada. The products that meet the Environmental Choice Program guidelines carry the logo shown to the left. The products without the logo may not meet the Environmental Choice Program guidelines.

Energy saving features

This product has the following two power reducing modes to help conserve natural resources and reduce environmental pollution.

Preheat mode

When the machine remains in the standby state for the amount of time set in the administrator settings, preheat mode automatically reduces the temperature of the fusing unit to save power while the machine is on standby. When a fax or print job is received, or keys are pressed on the operation panel, or an original is placed for a copy, fax, or network scanner job, preheat mode automatically turns off.

Auto power shut-off mode

The auto power shut-off mode is the second level of power reduction. In this mode power is shut off to the fusing unit and the touch panel. In this state more energy is saved than in the preheat mode but the time to recover to the ready condition will be longer. The preset time to enter this mode can be set by a setting.

dministrator

When this product is used as a printer, and either of the above modes is active, the mode will be deactivated automatically by an incoming job and the machine will automatically warm up and start to print when it has reached the ready temperature. When this product is configured for multi-function operation, and either of the above modes is active, the mode will be deactivated as above by an incoming print job. Either mode will also be deactivated by operation of DOCUMENT FILING, IMAGE SEND or COPY mode key.
