• Before turning off the main power switch, make sure that a job is not in progress or being processed.
Switching off the main power switch or removing the power cord from the outlet while a job is in progress or being
processed may damage the hard drive and cause data to be lost.
• Switch off both the [POWER] key () and the main power switch and unplug the power cord if you suspect a machine
failure, if there is a bad thunderstorm nearby, or when you are moving the machine.
When using the fax or Internet fax function, always keep the main power switch in the "on" position.

ENERGY SAVE FUNCTIONS
This product has the following two energy save functions that conform to the Energy Star guidelines to help conserve
natural resources and reduce environmental pollution.
Preheat Mode (low power mode)
Preheat mode automatically lowers the temperature of the fusing unit and thereby reduces power consumption if the
machine remains in the standby state for the interval of time set in "Preheat Mode Setting" in the system settings
(administrator). This keeps the fusing unit at a lower temperature and reduces power consumption while the machine is
on standby.
The machine automatically wakes up and returns to normal operation when a print job is received, a key is pressed on the
operation panel, or an original is placed.
Auto power shut-off mode (Sleep mode)
Auto power shut-off mode automatically shuts off power to the display and the fusing unit if the machine remains in the
standby state for the interval of time set in "Auto Power Shut-Off Timer" in the system settings (administrator). This
mode provides the lowest level of power consumption. Considerably more power is saved than in preheat mode,
however, the wakeup time is longer. This mode can be disabled in the system settings (administrator).
The machine automatically wakes up and resumes normal operation when a print job is received or when the blinking
[POWER SAVE] key () is pressed.

USER AUTHENTICATION
User authentication restricts the use of the machine to users that have been registered. The functions that each user is
allowed to use can be specified, allowing the machine to be customized to meet the needs of your workplace.
When the administrator of the machine has enabled user authentication, each user must log in to use the machine. The
are different types of user authentication, and each type has a different login method.
For more information, see the explanations of the login methods.
• AUTHENTICATION BY USER NUMBER (see below)
• AUTHENTICATION BY LOGIN NAME / PASSWORD (page 22)
AUTHENTICATION BY USER NUMBER
The following procedure is used to log in using a user number received from the administrator of the machine.
1
User Authentication
When controlled by user number
Enter your user number (5 to 8 digits)
with the numeric keys.
Each entered digit will be displayed as " ".
OK

User Authentication
OK

Touch the [OK] key.
After the entered user number is authenticated, the user count
screen will appear briefly.
When page limits have been set in "Pages Limit Group List" in
the system settings (administrator), the number of pages
remaining will appear. (The remaining number of pages that the
user can use in each mode (copy, scan, etc.) appears.) The
amount of time that this screen appears can be changed using
"Message Time Setting" in the system settings (administrator).
When the user number is an 8-digit number, this step is not necessary. (Login takes place automatically after the user
number is entered.)
When you have finished using the
machine and are ready to log out, press
the [LOGOUT] key ().
LOGOUT
• However, note that the [LOGOUT] key () cannot be used to log out when a fax number is being entered in fax
mode, as the key is used for fax number entry.
• If a preset duration of time elapses after the machine is last used, the Auto Clear function will activate. When Auto
Clear activates, logout takes place automatically. However, when PC Scan mode is used, logout does not take
place when the [LOGOUT] key () is pressed and Auto Clear does not operate. Change to a different mode on
the machine and then log out.
If an incorrect user number is entered 3 times in a row...
If "A Warning when Login Fails" is enabled in the system settings (administrator), the machine will lock for 5 minutes if
an incorrect user number is entered 3 times in a row.
Verify the user number that you should use with the administrator of the machine.
The administrator can clear the locked state.
This is done from [User Control] and then [Other Settings] in the Web page menu.

IMPORTANT POINTS ABOUT PAPER
This section provides information that you should know before loading paper in the paper trays.
Be sure to read this section before loading paper.
NAMES AND LOCATIONS OF TRAYS
The trays are identified by the names indicated below. For the names of the peripheral device trays, see "TRAY
LOCATIONS AND NAMES" (page 35). For detailed information on the sizes and types of paper that can be loaded in
each tray of the machine, see the specifications in the Safety Guide and "PAPER TRAY SETTINGS" (page 80) in the
System Settings. For information on the peripheral device trays, see "TRAY LOCATIONS AND NAMES" (page 35).

THE MEANING OF "R" IN PAPER SIZES
Some original and paper sizes can be placed in either the vertical or the horizontal orientation. To differentiate between
vertical and horizontal orientations, paper sizes in the horizontal orientation will be followed by an "R" (for example,
8-1/2" x 11"R, A4R).
Sizes that can be placed only in the horizontal orientation (12" x 18", 11" x 17", 8-1/2" x 14", 8-1/2" x 13", A3W, A3, B4)
do not include the "R" in their size indication.

USEABLE PAPER
Various types of paper are sold. This section explains what plain paper and what special media can be used with the
machine. For detailed information on the sizes and types of paper that can be loaded in each tray of the machine, see
the specifications in the Safety Guide and "PAPER TRAY SETTINGS" (page 80) in the System Settings. For information
on the peripheral device trays, see "TRAY LOCATIONS AND NAMES" (page 35).
Plain paper, special media
Plain paper that can be used
• SHARP standard plain paper (21 lbs. (64 g/m2)). For paper specifications, see the specifications in the Safety Guide.
• Plain paper other than SHARP standard paper (16 lbs. to 28 lbs. (60 g/m
Recycled paper, colored paper and pre-punched paper must meet the same specifications as plain paper. Contact your
dealer or nearest SHARP Service Department for advice on using these types of paper.
Types of paper that can be used in each tray

printer or copier.
• Perforated paper
• Various types of plain paper and special media are sold. Some types cannot be used with the machine. Contact your
dealer or nearest SHARP Service Department for advice on using these types of paper.
• The image quality and toner fusibility of paper may change due to ambient conditions, operating conditions, and paper
characteristics, resulting in image quality inferior to that of SHARP standard paper. Contact your dealer or nearest SHARP
Service Department for advice on using these types of paper.
• The use of non-recommended or prohibited paper may result in skewed feeding, misfeeds, poor toner fusing (the toner
does not adhere to the paper well and can be rubbed off), or machine failure.
• The use of non-recommended paper may result in misfeeds or poor image quality. Before using non-recommended paper,
check if printing can be performed properly.
Tray during paper feeding
Do not pull out a tray while paper is being fed from the tray. This will cause a paper misfeed.
Tray 1 and tray 2 are joined together, so do not pull out the trays while paper is feeding from either tray.
Identifying the tray that is being used to feed paper
(1) While paper is feeding, the job status display of the system bar on the touch panel screen will show the number of
the tray that is being used to feed paper. However, this will not appear when the base screen of image send mode
appears. To show the tray number in this case, change to the base screen of a different mode, or change to the job
status screen (page 16) and select the [Print Job] tab in the mode select tabs.
(2) During output in copy mode, the tray being used to feed paper also appears in green in the paper size display in the
base screen of copy mode on the touch panel.
