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.

• When using plain paper other than SHARP standard paper or special media other than SHARP-recommended transparency film, or when printing on the reverse side of previously used paper, the paper must be loaded one sheet at a time. Loading more than one sheet at a time will cause misfeeds.

• Before loading paper, straighten any curling in the paper.

• When adding paper, remove any paper remaining in the bypass tray, combine it with the paper to be added, and reload as a single stack. If paper is added without removing the remaining paper, a misfeed may result.

Inserting paper

Place paper that is 7-1/4" x 10-1/2" (A5) or smaller in the horizontal orientation.

Inserting tab paper

To print on tab paper, load tab paper in the bypass tray with the print side face up. On the MX-MFX2 bypass tray, the special guide is attached to the bottom edge bypass guide. The special guide is stored under the front cover of the large capacity trays. After using the guide, remove it and replace it in its storage location.

Place the first sheet of tab paper so that the tab is away from you.

Right

binding

Place the first sheet of tab paper so that the tab is toward you.

• Use only tab paper that is made of paper. Tab paper made of a material other than paper (film, etc.) cannot be used.

• To print on the tabs of tab paper... In copy mode, use "Tab Copy" in the special modes. In print mode, use the tab print function. For more information on these functions, see the Copier Guide and the Printer Guide.

Inserting transparency film

• Use SHARP-recommended transparency film. When inserting transparency film in the bypass tray, the rounded corner should be at the far left when the film is oriented horizontally, or at the far right when the film is oriented vertically. Place

the film face up.

• When loading multiple sheets of transparency film in the bypass tray, be sure to fan the sheets several times before loading.

• 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 result in curling.

Page 54

Adjust the original guides to the size of the originals.

Place the original.

Indicator line

When placing the original, make sure that the guide is correctly adjusted to the width of the original. If there is a gap between the original and the guide, or if the original is bowed because the guide is adjusted to a narrower width than the paper, a misfeed, skewed original feeding, or creases in the original may result.

Make sure the edges of the originals are even. Insert the originals face up all the way into the document feeder tray. Insert a number of originals that does not exceed the indicator line on the document feeder tray. Up to 250 sheets can be inserted.

• Originals of different sizes can be placed together in the automatic document feeder. In this case, select "Mixed Size Original" in the special modes of the mode you are using. For the procedures for inserting mixed size originals and the sizes that can be inserted, see the Copier Guide and the Image Send Guide.

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

• If originals have damp spots due to correction fluid, ink or pasteup glue, wait until the originals are dry before making copies. Otherwise the interior of the document feeder or the document glass may be soiled.

• Do not use the following originals. Incorrect original size detection, original misfeeds, and smudges may result.

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, folded, loosely pasted together, or have cut-out holes. 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 away from the feed slot of the document feeder tray.

SHARP OSA

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 enable a general application in the Web pages of the machine, click [Application Settings] in the administrator menu frame, and then [External Applications Settings] and [Standard Applications]. Configure settings for the standard application in the screen that appears.

Selecting a standard application

The procedure for selecting a general application that has been enabled in the Web pages of the machine is explained below.

The mode select key cannot be used during a Scan to FTP transmission.

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 enable an external account application in the Web pages of the machine, click [Application Settings] in the administrator menu frame, and then [External Applications Settings] and [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 system settings (administrator), 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.

• The user control function of the machine cannot be used in external authentication mode. However, "User Registration", "User Count Display", "User Count Reset", "User Information Print", and "The Number of User Name Displayed Setting" can be used.

• The mode select key cannot be used while the login screen appears.

Page 73

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 system settings (administrator). After changing the setting, restart the machine.

External count mode

When only the [External Account Control] setting is enabled in "External Account Setting" of "Sharp OSA Settings" in the system settings (administrator), 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.)
