MAINS PLUG WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

The mains lead of this equipment is already fitted with a mains plug which is either a non-rewireable (moulded) or a rewireable type. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved fuse to BS1362 marked or be used. Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse on the moulded plug. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted. In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied either cut-off the moulded plug (if this type is fitted) or remove by undoing the screws if a rewireable plug is fitted and fit an appropriate type observing the wiring code below.

DANGER: The fuse should be removed from the cut-off plug and the plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner. Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet as a serious electric shock may occur.

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below: IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

As the colours of the wires in this mains lead may not correspond with coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E, or by the safety earth symbol , or coloured green or greenand-yellow. The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

If you have any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. WARNING: THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.

Installation notes (continued)

CAUTION

Do not install the machine in a location with poor ventilation. Install so that exhaust from the machine does not directly contact people.

A small amount of ozone is produced within the printer during operation. The emission level is insufficient to cause any health hazard. The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m hr. time-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.

A small amount of ozone is created inside the machine during printing. The amount of ozone created is not sufficient to be harmful; however, an unpleasant odor may be noticed during large copy runs, and thus the machine should be installed in a room with a ventilation fan or windows that provide sufficient air circulation. (The odor may occasionally cause headaches.) * Install the machine so that people are not directly

exposed to exhaust from the machine. If installed near a window, ensure that the machine is not exposed to direct sunlight.

PLACING ORIGINALS

The automatic document feeder can be used to automatically scan many originals at once. This saves you the trouble of manually feeding each original. For originals that cannot be scanned using the automatic document feeder, such as a book or a document with notes attached, use the document glass.

Using the automatic document feeder

When using the automatic document feeder, place the originals in the document feeder tray. Make sure an original has not been placed on the document glass.

Place the originals face up with the edges aligned evenly.

Adjust the original guides to the width of the originals.

The indicator line indicates approximately how many originals can be placed. The placed originals must not be higher than this line.

Using the document glass

Take care that your fingers are not pinched when closing the automatic document feeder. After placing the original, be sure to close the automatic document feeder. If left open, parts outside of the original will be copied black, causing excessive use of toner.

Place the original face down.

Align the top left corner of the original with the tip of the mark in the far left corner of the glass.

Place the original face down.

To place a thick original such as a book, push up the far edge of the automatic document feeder and then close the automatic document feeder slowly.

Caution

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

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

• If a toner cartridge is stored on end, the toner may harden and become unusable. Always store toner cartridges on their

side with the top side up.

• If a toner cartridge other than a SHARP-recommended toner cartridge is used, the machine may not attain full quality and performance and there is a risk of damage to the machine. Be sure to use a SHARP-recommended toner cartridge.

• Keep the used toner cartridge in a plastic bag (do not discard it). Your service technician will collect the used toner cartridge.

• To view the approximate amount of toner remaining, continually touch the [COPY] key during printing or when the machine is idle. The percentage of toner remaining will appear in the display while the key is touched. When the percentage falls to "25-0%", obtain a new toner cartridge and keep it ready for replacement.

SUPPLIES

Standard supplies for this product that can replaced by the user include paper, toner cartridges, and staple cartridges for the finisher. Be sure to use only SHARP-specified products for the toner cartridges, finisher staple cartridge, saddle stitch finisher staple cartridge, and transparency film.

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

Storage of 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.

Storing toner cartridges

Store a new toner cartridge box horizontally with the top side up. Do not store a toner cartridge 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.

Staple cartridge

The finisher and saddle stitch finisher require the following staple cartridge:

SF-SC11 (for finisher) Approx. 5000 per cartridge x 3 cartridges

MX-SC10 (for finisher (3 trays)) Approx. 5000 per cartridge x 3 cartridges

AR-SC3 (for saddle stitch finisher only) Approx. 2000 per cartridge x 3 cartridges
