A word on copier installation/Cautions
A WORD ON COPIER INSTALLATION
Improper installation may damage the copier. Please note the following
during initial installation and whenever the copier is moved.
1. Be sure to use the rated power supply and to ground the copier.
●
For this copier’s power supply requirements, see the name plate
located on the right hand side of the copier, below the manual
bypass.
2. Do not install the copier in areas that are:
●
damp or humid,
●
exposed to direct sunlight,
●
extremely dusty,
●
poorly ventilated,
●
subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an
air conditioner or heater.
3. Place the copier on a firm, level surface.
4. Keep the copier at least 10 cm (4 inches) back from the wall for
proper ventilation and cooling.
CAUTIONS
1. Do not touch the photoconductive drum. Scratches or smudges
on the drum will cause dirty copies.
2. The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area.

LOADING COPY PAPER
To save space, this copier has been designed with an adjustable frontloading tray, which is easily opened for paper loading. For best results,
use only Sharp recommended paper. (See page 43.)
The paper required ( ) indicator will light up when there is no copy
paper in the selected paper feed station, or when the selected paper
tray is not installed or is improperly installed.
When paper runs out while the optional multi bypass feeder is being
used, a blinking will appear in the copy quantity display. (See
page 64.)
For convenience of quickly changing paper sizes, additional trays
(SF-UB15) are also available. These are sold separately. (See page
65.)
Gently lift and pull out the paper tray.
