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.

MAIN FEATURES

Energy saving features

This product has the following two power reducing modes that conform to the Energy Star guidelines to help conserve natural resources and reduce environmental pollution.

Preheat mode

The preheat mode is the first level of power reduction. The power is reduced to the fuser unit a preset time after the machine has completed a job and no further machine operations have been performed. The machine can recover to the ready condition within a short period of time. The preset time to enter the mode can be set by a administrator settings.

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 administrator settings.

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.

LOADING PAPER

(1):Horizontal loading (2):Vertical loading

● When loading plain paper other than SHARP

standard paper, special media other than postcards, SHARP-recommended transparency film, or paper to be printed on the back, the paper must be loaded one sheet at a time. Loading more than one sheet at a time will cause misfeeds.

● Before loading heavy paper, straighten any

curling in the paper.

● When adding paper, remove any paper

remaining in the tray, combine it with the paper to be added, and reload as a single stack.

● Do not use paper that has already been printed

on by a plain paper fax machine or a laser printer. This may cause printed images to become dirty.

● When printing on transparency film, be sure to

remove each sheet as it exits the machine. Allowing sheets to stack in the output tray may cause curling.

● Use only Sharp-recommended transparency

film. Transparency film should be loaded in the bypass tray with the label facing down and the film oriented vertically. Smudging and a dirty image may result if the film is placed with the label facing up.

Label facing down

● When loading multiple sheets of transparency

film in the bypass tray, be sure to fan the sheets several times before loading.

● Use only tabbed sheets that are made of paper.

Tabbed sheets made of film or other material cannot be used.

REPLACING THE TONER CARTRIDGES

When toner runs low, a message will appear to inform you that the toner cartridge must be replaced.

NOTE

To view the approximate amount of toner remaining, hold down the [COPY] key during printing or when the machine is on standby. The percentage of toner remaining will appear in the display while you hold down the key. When the percentage falls to "20-0%" , obtain a new toner cartridge and keep it ready for replacement.

Follow the steps below to replace the toner cartridge.

Open the front cover.

Remove the toner cartridge gently.

Insert the new toner cartridge.

Shake the toner cartridge horizontally. Do not rotate it as shown at left.

Align the toner cartridge with the insert hole and push it in as shown. Do not rotate the cartridge.

Hold the toner cartridge with both hands as shown in the illustration, and pull it out of the machine.

Remove the new toner cartridge from the

box and shake it thoroughly for 10 seconds.

CAUTION

It is important to thoroughly shake the supply cartridge for 10 seconds as shown in the diagram in order to ensure proper operation of toner supply system.

Push the cartridge in until it locks securely

in place.

Close the front cover.

CAUTION

● Do not throw the toner cartridge into a fire. Toner may fly and cause burns.

● Store toner cartridges out of the reach of small children.

NOTE

Place the used toner cartridge in the plastic bag and store it. When placing the toner cartridge in the bag, insert it horizontally, not vertically. If the cartridge is stood on end, the collected used toner may spill out and soil the floor or your clothes.

2-21

STORAGE OF SUPPLIES

Standard supplies for this product that can replaced by the user include paper, toner cartridges, and staple cartridges for the finisher.

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

■ Proper storage

1. Store the supplies in a location that is:

● clean and dry,

● at a stable temperature,

● 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.

4. Store a new toner cartridge box horizontally. Do not store it standing on end. If stored standing on end, the toner may not distribute well even after shaking the cartridge vigorously, and will remain inside the cartridge without flowing out.

Supply and Consumables

The supply of spare parts for a repair of the appliance is guaranteed for at least 7 years following the termination of production. Spare parts are those parts of the apparatus 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.

FINISHER AND SADDLE STITCH FINISHER

The finisher and the saddle stitch finisher include the offset function, which offsets each set of copies from the preceding set for easy separation. Each set of sorted copies can also be stapled. The saddle stitch finisher can automatically staple a set of copies at the center line and fold the pages to create a pamphlet. A punch module unit can be installed to add punch holes to copies, and an inserter can be installed to insert blank pages at specified pages. In the following explanations, the finisher and saddle stitch finisher are referred to simply as "finisher".

Check the list below before calling for service.

Problem Check Solution or cause

Stapling position is not correct (including saddle stitch).

The inserter does not operate.

Paper misfeed occurs

A paper misfeed occurs when paper is fed from the inserter.

A message appears each time paper is placed in the paper tray of the inserter.

The desired staple mode is not selected.

The paper is not loaded in the correct position.

The paper is not loaded face up.

Are any inserter covers open? Close all covers. "Disabling of inserter" is enabled in the

administrator settings. A paper misfeed message appears. Remove the misfed paper (page 3-17).

The [START] key light is not illuminated.

The paper is curled or damp.

Do the size and orientation of the loaded paper match the paper size and orientation set in "Setting the paper type and paper size"?

Was the [SIZE SELECT] key touched and the size and orientation of the paper for the inserter set as explained in "Setting the paper type and paper size"?

Select the desired staple mode at the operation panel of the inserter (page 3-15).

Load the paper correctly (page 3-16).

Paper must be loaded face up in the inserter tray (page 3-16).

Check the administrator settings and disable "Disabling of inserter".

Make sure that the punch or staple key has been selected on the operation panel of the inserter (page 3-15).

Do not use curled or folded paper. When the inserter is not going to be used for a long time, remove the paper from the inserter, place it in a bag so that it does not absorb moisture, and store it in a cool and dark place.

Make sure paper size and orientation set in "Setting the paper type and paper size" match the size and orientation of the loaded paper.

To ensure that the correct paper (size and orientation) is loaded in the inserter, the machine indicates the current paper size setting each time paper is placed in the paper tray.

SHARP OSA

App 04

App 03

App 02

App 01

Sharp OSA (Open Systems Architecture) is an architecture that enables external applications to be directly connected to a digital multifunction machine over a network. When a digital multifunction machine that supports Sharp OSA is used, the operation panel controls and functions of the machine such as scan send can be linked to an external application. There are two types of external applications: "standard application" and "external account application". An "external account application" is used for centralized account management of a multifunction machine on a network. A "standard application" refers to all other applications.

APPLICATION COMMUNICATION MODULE (MX-AMX2)

The application communication module is required to use a "standard application" on the machine. When a previously registered standard application is selected in the Web pages of the machine, the machine retrieves the operation screen from the registered URL. Control of the operation screen is performed by the standard application, and Scan to FTP can be executed.

Standard application setup

To register a standard application in the machine's Web pages, click [External Applications] in the administrator menu frame and then click [Standard Applications]. Configure settings for the standard application in the screen that appears.

Selecting a standard application

There are two methods for selecting a standard application that has been registered in the machine's Web pages.

■ Selecting a standard application from the job status screen

The Sharp OSA icon will appear in the lower left-hand corner of the job status screen. Follow the steps below to select a standard application.

Touch the Sharp OSA icon.

If no standard applications have been stored in the Web pages, the key cannot be touched.

Select the standard application.

If two or more standard applications have been stored in the Web pages, the screen to select the standard application will appear. Touch the standard application that

you wish to use. If only one standard application has been stored in the Web pages, connection to the standard application will begin.

The machine connects to the standard

application.

The message "Connecting to the external application." appears while the machine communicates with the standard application.

you wish to use. If only one standard application has been stored in the Web pages, connection to the standard application will begin.

The machine connects to the standard

application.

The message "Connecting to the external application." appears while the machine communicates with the standard application.

Operation in OSA mode

When the application communication module is installed, it is possible to check the job log of OSA scan mode in the job status screen. The procedure for displaying the job log is the same as for regular Scan to FTP.

To display the job log of OSA scan mode, touch the [SCAN] key once again while the job log of scan mode appears in the job status screen. (When this is done, the name of the key will change to [OSA SCAN].) To return to the scan screen from the OSA scan screen, touch the [OSA SCAN] key.

EXTERNAL ACCOUNT MODULE (MX-AMX3)

The external account module is required to use a "external account application" on the machine. An external account application can be used in "external authentication mode" or "external count mode". When external authentication mode is used, the login screen is retrieved from the application when the machine is started. When a job ends, a job notification screen is sent to the application to enable counts to be kept for each authenticated user. When "external count mode" is used, the login screen is not displayed when the machine is started. Only a job result notification is sent to the application. User authentication by the external account application cannot be used, however, the external account application can be used in combination with the internal account function.

External account application setup

To register an external account application in the machine's Web pages, click [External Applications] in the administrator menu frame and then click [External Accounting]. Configure settings for the external account application in the screen that appears. To make the settings in the Web page take effect, restart the machine.

Operation in external account mode

The two modes for using an external account application operate as explained below.

■ External authentication mode

When the [ENABLE AUTHENTICATION BY EXTERNAL SERVER] checkbox is selected in "External account setting" of "Sharp OSA settings" in the administrator settings, the machine enters external authentication mode. When the machine is powered on in external authentication mode, the machine accesses the external account application and displays the login screen. The login screen also appears when the [CALL] key is touched to run a job in the job status complete screen. (The login screen does not appear if the user has already logged in by the normal method.) The [JOB STATUS] key can be pressed while the login screen appears to show the job status screen. To return to the previous state, press the mode select key.

NOTES

● The user control function of the machine cannot be used in external authentication mode.

● The [SYSTEM SETTINGS] key can be pressed while the login screen appears to show the system settings

screen. To return to the initial state, touch the [EXIT] key.

If login fails

If the login screen fails to appear or the application does not operate correctly, the machine may also stop operating correctly. In this event, it is recommended that you quit external account mode from the Web pages of the machine. For more information, see [Help] in the Web pages. If it is necessary to forcibly terminate external account mode using the operation panel of the machine, follow the steps below. Press the [SYSTEM SETTINGS] key and change "External account setting" in the administrator settings (see page 14 of the administrator settings guide). After changing the setting, restart the machine.

■ External count mode

When only the [ENABLE EXTERNAL ACCOUNT CONTROL] setting is enabled in "External account setting" of "Sharp OSA settings" in the administrator settings, the machine enters external count mode. Unlike external authentication mode, when the machine is started in "external count mode", the login screen of the external account application is not displayed. Only the job result is sent to the external account application. External count mode can be used together with the user control function of the machine. (External count mode can also be used when the user control function is disabled.)

AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER

The automatic document feeding function automatically feeds originals into the machine, making continuous copying possible. In addition, both sides of two-sided sheet originals can be simultaneously scanned. This function is convenient when you have a large number of original pages to scan.

Acceptable originals

Up to 150 originals (20 lbs. (80 g/m2)) of the same size, or an overall stack height of no more than 49/64" (19.5 mm), can be loaded. Originals of mixed length can also be loaded together as long as they are the same width; however, some special functions may not operate correctly.

■ Size and weight of acceptable originals

■ Notes on use of the automatic document feeder

●Use originals within the specified size and weight ranges. Use of originals out of the specified range may cause

an original misfeed.

●Before loading originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips.

●If originals have damp spots from correction fluid, ink or glue from pasteups, be sure they are dried before they

are fed. If not, the interior of the document feeder or the document glass may be soiled.

●Do not use the following originals. These originals may cause incorrect original size detection, original misfeeds, and smudges on copies.

●

Transparency film, tracing paper, carbon paper, thermal paper or originals printed with thermal transfer ink ribbon should not be fed through the document feeder. Originals to be fed through the feeder should not be damaged, crumpled or folded or have loosely pasted paper on them or cutouts in them. Originals with multiple punched holes other than two-hole or three-hole punched paper may not feed correctly.

●When using originals with two or three holes, place them so that the punched edge is at a position other than the feed slot.

PLACING ORIGINALS

■ Using the automatic document feeder

Open the document cover, make sure that

an original has not been left on the document glass, and then gently close the document cover.

Adjust the original guides to the size of the

originals.

■ Using the document glass

Open the document cover, place the original face down on the document glass, and then gently close the document cover.

NOTES

● After placing the original, be sure to close the document cover. If left open, parts outside of the original will be copied black, causing excessive use of toner.

● Do not place any objects under the original size detector, because they may damage it or the original size may not be detected properly.

Place the originals face up in the

document feeder tray.

Place the originals face up.

Insert the originals all the way into the document feeder. The stack height must not be higher than the indicator

line (maximum of 150 pages).

NOTE

Original size detection function

One of the four groups of standard original sizes shown below can be selected for detection by the original size detection function. The factory default setting is "INCH-1". The setting can be changed using "ORIGINAL SIZE DETECTOR SETTING" in the administrator settings.

[Example 2]

Document feeder tray

Document glass

Place originals in the document feeder tray or on the document glass so that the top and bottom of the original is positioned as shown in the illustration. If not, staples will be incorrectly positioned and some special features may not give the expected result.

■ Automatic copy image rotation - rotation copying

If the orientation of the originals and copy paper are different, the original image will be automatically rotated 90° and copied. (When an image is rotated, a message will be displayed.) If a function is selected that is not suitable for rotation, such as enlarging the copy to greater than 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) size or staple sorting with the saddle stitch finisher, rotation will not be possible.
