power cord from the outlet.
Check the following to make sure the machine is not in operation:
• The ready indicator is lit. (Initial state)
• The power save indicator is lit. (preheat mode or auto power shut-off mode)
Power save modes
The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption and
thereby reduce the cost of operation. In addition, these modes conserve natural
resources and help reduce environmental pollution. The two power save modes are
preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode.
Preheat mode
This function automatically switches the machine to a low power consumption state if
the set duration of time elapses without the machine being used when the power is
on. In this mode, the power save indicator lights up. Normal operation automatically
resumes when a key on the operation panel is pressed, an original is placed, a print
job is received.
Auto power shut-off mode
This function automatically switches the machine to a state that consumes even less
power than preheat mode if the set duration of time elapses without the machine being
used when the power is on. The power save indicator lights up, the display shows a
message indicating that the machine is in auto power shut-off mode. To resume normal
operation, press the [START] key (). Normal operation also resumes automatically
when a print job is received or scanning is begun from a computer. While in auto power
shut-off mode, no keys (except the [START] key ()) can be used.
1
Note
The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time can be
changed with "PREHEAT MODE" and "AUTO SHUT-OFF TIME" in the
user programs. It is suggested that you set times that are appropriate
for your usage of the machine. (p.54 and p.55)
Check RSPF open function
When enabled, this function may help prevent wasteful use of toner that occurs
when the RSPF cover is not completely closed.
If the start () key is pressed when the RSPF cover is not completely closed,
"CLOSE THE SPF/RSPF COVER." will appear in the display and copying may not
take place. If copying does not take place, copying can be performed by pressing the
start () key again, however, the scan size set in "TRAY'S PAPER SIZE SETTING"
(p.19) or "VALID COPY WIDTH" (program number 25) (p.57) will be used.
If the RSPF cover is completely closed after "CLOSE THE SPF/RSPF COVER."
appears, copying will take place at the normal size.

LOADING PAPER
Special papers
Follow these guidelines when using special papers.
● Use SHARP recommended transparency film and label sheets. Using other
than SHARP recommended paper may result in misfeeds or smudges on
the output. If other than SHARP recommended media must be used, feed
each sheet one at a time using the bypass tray (do not attempt continuous
copying or printing).
● There are many varieties of special paper available on the market, and
some cannot be used with this machine. Before using special paper,
contact a SHARP service center.
● Before using other than SHARP recommended paper, make a test copy to
see if the paper is suitable.
LOADING THE PAPER TRAY
2
Note
1
2
Note
Make sure that the paper is not torn, is free of dust, and has no wrinkles
or curled edges.
Raise the handle of the paper tray
and pull the paper tray out until it
stops.
Fan the paper and insert it into the tray. Make sure that the
edges go under the corner hooks.
• Do not load paper above the maximum height line ().
Exceeding the line will cause a paper misfeed.
• If the paper is not fanned, double-feeds or misfeeds may occur.
• Make sure the stack of paper is straight before loading it. When
adding paper, take the remaining paper out and combine it into a
single stack with the new paper.
• Make sure that all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.
• When loading paper, ensure that there is no space between the
paper and the guide, and make sure that the guide is not set too
narrow and causes the paper to bend. Incorrect loading will cause the
paper to skew or misfeed.
15
LOADING PAPER
Gently push the paper tray back into the machine.
3
Note
• If you loaded a paper size that is different from the previously loaded
paper size, change the paper size setting as explained in
"CHANGING A TRAY'S PAPER SIZE SETTING" (p.19)
• When not using the machine for an extended period, remove all
paper from the paper tray and store it in a dry place. If paper is left in
the machine for an extended period, the paper will absorb moisture
from the air, resulting in paper jams.
16
BYPASS FEED (including special paper)
The bypass tray can be used to feed standard paper, transparency film, labels,
envelopes, and other special purpose paper.
Important points when inserting paper in the bypass tray
Up to 50 sheets of standard copy paper can be inserted in the bypass tray. (Capacity
will vary depending on the type of paper loaded.)
Be sure to place envelopes horizontally as shown in the following diagram.
2
Available
• When loading envelopes, make sure that they are straight and flat and do not have
loosely glued construction flaps (not the closure flap).
• Special papers such as SHARP recommended transparency film, labels, and
envelopes must be fed one sheet at a time through the bypass tray.
• When adding paper, first remove any paper remaining in the tray, combine it with
the paper to be added and then reload as a single stack. The paper to be added
must be the same size and type as the paper already in the tray.
• Do not use paper that is smaller than the original. This may cause smudges or
unclean images.
• Do not use paper that has already been printed on by a laser printer or plain paper
fax machine. This may cause smudges or unclean images.
Not
