As a part of our policy of continuous improvement, SHARP reserves the right to make design
and specification changes for product improvement without prior notice. The performance
specification figures indicated are nominal values of production units. There may be some
deviations from these values in individual units.
Important:
This fax machine is not designed for use on a line which has call waiting, call
forwarding, or certain other special services offered by your telephone company. If
you attempt to use the fax machine in conjunction with any of these services, you
may experience errors during transmission and reception of facsimile messages.
The fax machine is not compatible with digital telephone systems.
Important safety information
For your safety, if any of your equipment is not operating properly or should any
physical damage occur to the equipment where internal parts may become
exposed, the equipment should be immediately disconnected from the phone line
and then the power line and returned to a SHARP authorised Service Centre for
inspection, repair, or disposal.
In Australia, installing or modifying telephone lines should only be done by an ACA
licensed serviceman. In New Zealand, installing or modifying telephone lines should
be done in accordance with Telecom wiring practices.
This facsimile machine is designed for use in Australia and New Zealand only.
Do not disassemble this machine or attempt any procedures not described in this
manual. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Do not install or use the machine near water, or when you are wet. For example, do
not use the machine near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool. Take care not to spill any liquids on the
machine.
Unplug the machine from the power outlet and telephone socket and consult a
qualified service representative if any of the following situations occur:
- Liquid has been spilled into the machine or the machine has been
exposed to rain or water.
- The machine produces odors, smoke, or unusual noises.
- The power cord is frayed or damaged.
- The machine has been dropped or the housing damaged.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not install the machine
where people may walk on the power cord.
3
This machine must only be connected to a 230-240 V, 50 Hz, earthed (3-prong)
outlet. Connecting it to any other kind of outlet will damage the machine.
Never insert objects of any kind into slots or openings on the machine. This could
create a risk of fire or electric shock. If an object falls into the machine that you
cannot remove, unplug the machine and consult a qualified service representative.
Do not place this machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. The machine could be
seriously damaged if it falls.
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Never install telephone sockets in wet locations unless the socket is specifically
designed for wet locations.
Never touch bare telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm.
There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
The power outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily
accessible.
WARNING NOTICE:
NO calls can be made to or from this fax machine during a mains power failure.
WARNING: Australian Communications Authority (ACA) regulations state that no
unauthorised changes or modifications to this equipment are permitted.
Note: Complies with ACA and NZ TELECOM standard
AS/NZS CISPR22 regarding
emission of electromagnetic interference.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against interference in
an installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
interference. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
4
- Connect the equipment to an outlet on a different circuit to that which the receiver
is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
For Australia: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment is written
on the back of the machine. The sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers (REN's) on
your telephone line should not exceed 3 to assure correct service from your
telephone company.

Loading Printing Paper
Loading Printing Paper
You can load up to 100 sheets of A4-size paper (60 - 80 g/m2) in the paper
tray (at room temperature; maximum stack height should not be higher than
the line on the tray).
1 Fan the paper, and then tap the edge
against a flat surface to even the stack.
Make sure the stack edges are even.
2 Insert the stack of paper into the tray, PRINT SIDE UP.
• If paper remains in the tray, take it out and combine it into a single stack
with the new paper.
• Be sure to load the paper so that printing takes place on the print side of
the paper. Printing on the reverse side may result in poor print quality.
• GENTLY LOAD PAPER INTO THE PAPER TRAY.
• DO NOT FORCE IT DOWN INTO THE FEED SLOT.
1. Installation
The stack
should not
be higher
than this line
Note: Do not use paper that has already been printed on, or paper that is curled.
15
Connecting the Power Cord
Connecting the Power Cord
Plug the power cord into a 230-240 V, 50 Hz, earthed AC (3-prong) outlet.
Caution!
♦ Make sure you have removed all of the packing tape before plugging
in the power cord (see page 12). Plugging in the power cord without
doing so may damage the machine.
♦ When disconnecting the machine, unplug the telephone line cord before
unplugging the power cord.
♦ The power outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily
accessible.
The machine does not have
a power on/off switch, so
the power is turned on and
off by simply plugging in or
unplugging the power cord.
“CHECK CARTRIDGE” normally
appears in the display the first
time you plug in the machine.
This message appears until you
install the print cartridge.
Note: If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges,
we recommend that you install surge protectors for the power and telephone
lines. Surge protectors can be purchased at most telephone specialty stores.
