A small amount of ozone is produced within the printer during operation. The emission level is insufficient to cause
any health hazard.
NOTE:
The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m
weighted average concentration.
However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable odor, it is advisable to place the copier
in a ventilated area.

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.

■ 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"

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.
