POWER SAVE MODES
6 9
POWER SAVE
START
The copier 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.
User programs The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time have been preset at the factory to 15min. for preheat mode and 60 min. for auto power shut-off mode. These times can be changed using user programs. It is suggested that you set appropriate times according to the actual usage of the copier.
Both of the power save modes can be automatically controlled by the auto power save control function. When enabled, this function will automatically establish new set times for the preheat and auto power shut-off modes based upon copier usage patterns.
Preheat mode
When the copier enters the preheat mode, the POWER SAVE indicator will light up and other indicators will remain on or off as before. In this condition, the fuser in the copier is maintained at a lower heat level thereby saving power. The preheat level is, however, high enough to allow the copier to come to a ready condition or begin copying within 30 seconds after any key input is made.
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets
ENERGY STAR
the energy efficiency.
®
guidelines for
Auto power shut-off mode
If the auto power shut-off mode is enabled, the copier will auto­matically turn off the power once a programmed length of time has elapsed without any copier operation after the last copy of a run is made or the power is first turned on. The power switch will auto­matically be turned to the “OFF” position. To turn the power back on, simply turn the power switch to the “ON” position.
Auto power save control
The auto power save control function automatically controls the power save modes. If this function is enabled, the copier enters the preheat mode a certain length of time after any copier operation and then enters the auto power shut-off mode. The time that elapses before the copier enters the preheat mode or auto power shut-off mode is set automatically by the copier, which calculates the proper time depending on the user’s copying frequency and copy quantity. If the POWER SAVE indicator is on and some other indicators are on, the copier is in the preheat mode.
NOTE:
The preheat mode and the auto power shut-off mode, which are controlled by the auto power save control function, will meet the Energy Star guidelines.

Setting the power save modes
The factory default settings for the power save modes are OFF for the auto power save control function and ON for the preheat and auto power shut-off modes. The auto power save control function can be enabled or disabled as desired using user program No. 4. If this function is disabled, the time that elapses before the copier enters a power save mode after any operation is made can be set manually. This time is set with user program No. 2 for the preheat mode and user program No. 3 for the auto power shut-off mode. If the auto power save control function is enabled, the settings of user programs No. 2 and No. 3 will be ignored. For these settings, see page 34.
The copier will enter first the preheat mode and then the auto power shut-off mode when no copier operation is made. If the time set for the preheat mode is not shorter than that for the auto power shut-off mode, the copier will enter only the auto power shut-off mode when the time set for the auto power shut-off mode has elapsed after any copier operation.
If the auto power shut-off time is changed using user program No. 3 when the auto power shut-off mode has been disabled (program No.9 ), the auto power shut-off mode will be automatically enabled.
GENERAL INFORMATION

Standard SF-2530 supplies replaced by the user include copy paper, toner, toner collecting container, and staple cartridges for an optional staple sorter.
GENERAL INFORMATION
For best copying results, be sure to use only Sharp products. The package of Sharp toner has the Gunuine Supplies label.
Photoconductive drum
The SF-2530 Copier has advanced process control technology which improves copy quality uniformity. This feature stabilizes copy quality throughout the life of the photoconductive drum by automatically compensating for changes in drum characteristics due to wear, operator use patterns, and environmental conditions. The automatic adjustments are made in response to a sensor that detects the reflectance characteristics of the drum.
WARNING
This feature requires drums containing the special reflectance area (recommended SHARP genuine photoconductive drum), to prevent low image density copies from poor process control and possible damage to the machine. If you use other drums, the process control system cannot run properly.

ADF (SF-A17)/RADF (SF-A56)
Using the ADF or RADF
Before loading originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips from them. The ADF or RADF can handle a maxi­mum of 50 originals.
Damaged or crumpled originals may misfeed in the ADF and RADF. It is recommended that these be copied from the document glass and the copies be used as original documents.
When feeding originals which have closely spaced binding holes punched along an edge, place the originals so that the punched edge is positioned to the right or along the side guides.
Special originals such as transparency film and tracing paper should not be fed from the ADF and RADF, but should be placed on the document glass.
Duplex copying will not work when a non-standard sized paper is used. (Duplex copying can be per­formed only when an optional duplex module is installed.)
Different size originals with the same width can be placed in the document feeder tray and automati­cally copied onto copy paper of their respective sizes. The automatic copy ratio selection will not function in this case.
Image loss (max. 5/32" (4 mm)) can occur at the leading and trailing edges of the copies.
Stream feeding mode
The stream feeding mode allows easy operation of continuous copying from the ADF or RADF. If the stream feeding mode has been enabled using user program No. 5, the original feed indicator will continue to blink for approximately 5 seconds after feeding of all originals is completed. While this indicator is blinking, any new originals placed in the document feeder tray will be fed and copied automatically. If the stream feeding mode has been disabled, the START key must be pressed each time the originals are set even immediately after completion of a copy run from the ADF or RADF. The default setting of the stream feeding mode is “OFF”. See page 34, USER PROGRAMS.

10-BIN SORTER (SF-S18
)
20-BIN SORTER (SF-S15
There are two sorter modes for different copying jobs: one sorts copies into sets matching the sequence of originals and the second groups copies from different originals into separate sort bins. The maximum allowable number of copies varies with the selected mode. The number of copies will be automatically reset to the maximum number allowable for the selected mode when copying begins if this maximum is exceeded.
NOTES:
To install the 20-bin sorter (SF-S15), an optional stand/500-sheet paper drawer (SF-D20), stand/1000-sheet paper drawer (SF-D21) or an equivalent stand must be installed.
The bin intervals of the 10-bin sorter (SF-S18) are narrow for space conservation. When copying from an optional document feeder (ADF or RADF) is completed or the CLEAR ALL ( bin access key is pressed in the document glass mode, the bins will move three at a time and the space between them will become larger so that copies can be easily taken out. This bin access mode can be disabled using user program No. 7. See page 34, USER PROGRAMS.
