30 cm (11-13/16")

To ensure safety and proper machine performance, please note the following before initial installation and whenever the machine is to be relocated.

1. The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection.

2. Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the specified voltage and current requirements. Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.

●

For this copier’s power supply requirements, see the name plate located on the right hand side at the rear bottom corner of the copier.

3. Do not install the machine where it is:

●

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).

4. Ensure that the area chosen for the machine location is level.

GETTING STARTED

Installation requirements/Cautions

5. Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing and proper ventilation.

CAUTIONS

1. Do not touch the photoconductive drum. Scratches or smudges on the drum will cause dirty copies.

Fusing unit

2. The fusing unit is extremely hot. Exercise care in this area.

3. Installation adjusters are provided on the optional stand/3000sheet paper drawer or stand/500-sheet paper drawer. When moving the machine with the optional stand/3000-sheet paper drawer or stand/500-sheet paper drawer, be sure to raise the installation adjusters. After moving the machine, lower the installation adjusters until they reach the floor to lock the machine in place.

Power on and off

POWER ON AND OFF

The power switch is located on the left side of the copier. When the power switch is turned to the “ON” position, the message “WARMING UP. PLEASE WAIT.” will appear in the message display. Warming up takes about 100 seconds. Once the copier is ready, the message display will change to “READY TO COPY.”, and the START key indicator will light up, indicating that copying is possible. If the copier has been programmed in the auditing mode, the message “ENTER YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER. -----” will appear after warming up. Once a valid account number has been entered, the message will change to “READY TO COPY.” and the START key indicator will light up.

Power save modes

The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption and thereby reduce the cost of operation and to conserve natural resources to help reduce environmental pollution. The two power save modes are preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode.

★ KEY OPERATOR

The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time have been preset at the factory to 15 min. for preheat mode and 60 min. for auto power shut-off mode. These times can be changed as described in the key operator’s guide section. It is suggested that you set appropriate times according to the actual usage of the copier.

The Environmental Choice Program guidelines are applied to the products only in Canada.

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.

★ KEY OPERATOR See page 87 for setting the auto power shut-off timer. See

page 96 for enabling or disabling the auto power shut-off mode.

Preheat mode

The copier will enter the mode once the set time has elapsed without any copier operation after the last copy of a run is made or power is turned on. When the copier enters the preheat mode, the message “PREHEAT

MODE. PRESS ANY KEY ON THE OPERATION PANEL TO RESTORE THE COPIER TO “READY TO COPY”.” will appear.

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 approximately 30 seconds after any key input is made. To copy from the preheat mode, make desired copier selections and press the START key using the normal copying procedure.

★ KEY OPERATOR See page 91 for information on setting the preheat mode.

ADDING TONER

The message “TONER SUPPLY IS LOW. PRESS THE KEY FOR INSTRUCTIONS.” will appear in the message display before

the toner supply is completely empty. If copying is continued, copies will gradually become lighter until the copier stops and the message display changes to “ADD TONER. PRESS THE KEY FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO ADD TONER.”, indicating that the toner supply is empty. Toner can be added any time after the message “TONER SUPPLY IS LOW. PRESS THE KEY FOR INSTRUCTIONS.” appears. To add toner, stop the copier and proceed as below. When either of these messages appears, you can use the INFORMATION and SCROLL DISPLAY keys for detailed information as necessary. During long copy runs of multiple dark originals, “TONER RE- PLENISHMENT IN PROGRESS.” will appear and the copier will stop making copies even though toner is left. After a sufficient amount of toner has been fed, the START key indicator will light up. Press the START key to resume copying.

SUPPLIES

For best copying results, be sure to use only Sharp products. The package of Sharp toner has the Genuine Supplies label.

Adding toner

Open the front cover.

Pull down the toner hopper lock lever and pull the toner hopper out slowly until it stops.

Hold the toner cartridge vertically and vigorously shake it up and down about 20 times to loosen the toner. This

will allow the toner to flow more easily into the toner hopper.

ADDING TONER

Place the new toner cartridge with the tabs in the notches as shown.

Slide the toner cartridge along the guides over the toner hopper.

Sealing tape

Hold the toner cartridge with one hand while pulling on the sealing tape to remove it.

Tap on the top of the toner cartridge 5 times to release all toner into the toner hopper.

●

It will take about 30 seconds for the toner to flow into the toner hopper. Do not remove the toner cartridge until it is empty.

Slide the empty toner cartridge back along the guides and remove it.

●

The cartridge opening will be closed as it is moved back along the guides.

SUPPLIES

Adding toner

Slide the toner hopper into the copier and return the toner hopper lock lever into place.

●

If the toner hopper is not positioned properly, either the copies will come out blank or will blink in the copy quantity display indicating that the copier will not operate. In either case, ensure that the toner hopper is properly locked in its operating position.

Close the front cover.

NOTE:

Add only one cartridge of toner.

USED T ONER DISPOSAL

“REPLACE USED TONER CONTAINER. PRESS THE KEY FOR REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS.” will appear when the toner

collecting container is full. The copier will stop and will not operate until a new container has been installed. Replace the used toner container as described below. When the above message is displayed, you can use the INFORMATION and SCROLL DISPLAY keys for detailed information as necessary.

Open the toner collecting container cover.

SUPPLIES

Used toner disposal

Disengage and remove the container from the copier by pushing downward and then pulling it out.

●

Toner cannot be reused. Do not transfer used toner to the toner hopper.

●

Remove the cap from a new toner collecting container and use it to cover the full toner collecting container.

●

Keep the full toner collecting container until the next regular service call. Your authorised Sharp Service Technician will collect the container for disposal.

Install a new toner collecting container by pushing it down onto the spring-loaded tray and then allowing it

to move upward and click into place.

Close the toner collecting container cover.

STORAGE OF SUPPLIES

Standard SF-2540 supplies replaced by the user include copy paper, toner, toner collecting container, and staple cartridges for the optional staple sorter.

Photoconductive drum

The SF-2540 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 the 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.

For best copying results, be sure to use only Sharp products. The package of Sharp toner has the Genuine Supplies label.

SUPPLIES

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.

Proper storage

Store the supplies in a location that is:

●

clean and dry,

●

at a stable temperature,

●

not exposed to direct sunlight.

Store copy paper in the wrapper and lying flat.

●

Paper stored in packages standing up or out of the wrapper may curl or become damp, resulting in paper misfeeds.

RADF (SF-A58)

Using the RADF

NOTES:

●

Before loading originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips from them. The RADF can handle a maximum of 50 originals.

●

Badly damaged originals may misfeed in the 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.

Stream feeding mode

The stream feeding mode allows easy operation of continuous copying from the RADF. If the stream feeding mode has been enabled using key operator program P47, 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 RADF. The default setting of the stream feeding mode is “OFF”.

●

Special originals such as transparency film and tracing paper should not be fed from the 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. 4 mm (5/32")) can occur at the

leading and trailing edges of the copies.

This function lowers the user’s electricity bill, reduces waste of natural resources, and cuts down on environmental pollution. The programmed time is set to 60 minutes for this function on completion of shipment from the factory. The default time can be changed optionally within the prescribed range of time. We suggest you set the most appropriate time according to your usage pattern. Use P21 to set the time interval. The time increments up to a 4 hour maximum.
