BEFORE USING THE MACHINE

ENERGY SAVE FUNCTIONS

This product has the following two energy save functions that conform to the Energy Star guidelines to help conserve
natural resources and reduce environmental pollution.

Preheat Mode (Low power mode)

Preheat mode automatically lowers the temperature of the fusing unit and thereby reduces power consumption if the
machine remains in the standby state for the interval of time set in "Preheat Mode Setting" in the system settings
(administrator).
The machine automatically wakes up and returns to normal operation when a print job is received, a key is pressed on
the operation panel.

Auto power shut-off mode (Sleep mode)

Auto power shut-off mode automatically shuts off power to the display and the fusing unit if the machine remains in the
standby state for the interval of time set in "Auto Power Shut-Off Timer" in the system settings (administrator). This
mode provides the lowest level of power consumption. Considerably more power is saved than in preheat mode,
however, the wakeup time is longer. This mode can be disabled in the system settings (administrator).
The machine automatically wakes up and resumes normal operation when a print job is received or when the [POWER
SAVE] key

() is pressed.

[POWER SAVE] KEY

Press the [POWER SAVE] key () to put the machine in auto power shut-off mode or wake it up from auto power
shut-off mode. The [POWER SAVE] indicator has an indicator that indicates whether or not the machine is in auto power
shut-off mode.

When the [POWER SAVE]
indicator is off in the standby
state

When the [POWER SAVE]
indicator is blinking

The machine is ready to be used.
If the [POWER SAVE] key ( ) is pressed when the indicator is off, the indicator will blink
and the machine will enter auto power shut-off mode after a brief interval.

The machine is in auto power shut-off mode.
If the [POWER SAVE] key ( ) is pressed when the indicator is blinking, the indicator will
turn off and the machine will return to the ready state after a brief interval.

DEFAULT SETTING

These settings enable or disable user authentication and specify the authentication method.
When user authentication is enabled, each user of the machine is registered. When a user logs in, settings for that user
are applied. This function allows greater control of security and cost management.
In addition, even if the user information is not stored in the machine, it is possible to log in by directly entering user
information stored on an LDAP server. In this case, the login user will be the factory-stored "User". For more information,
see "Factory-stored users" (page 1-22).

• For the procedure for storing users, see "USER LIST" (page 1-21).

• For more information on login procedures when user authentication is enabled, see "USER AUTHENTICATION" (page

User Authentication

When [User Authentication] is enabled, the login screen
appears before an operation is begun in any mode
except the job status screen*. You must log in as one of
the stored users. (After logging in, you can move freely
through the modes.)
* Except when a print hold (retention) file is used in the

job status screen.

Authentication Method Setting

This selects the authentication method. When using user
authentication, be sure to configure this setting first. The
items configured for users stored after the user
authentication method is set vary depending on the
selected authentication method.

Authenticate a User by Login Name and Password

Standard authentication method using a login name and
password.

Authenticate a User by Login Name, Password and
E-mail Address

In addition to a login name and password, this
authentication method also requires the entry of an
e-mail address.

Authenticate a User by User Number Only

This can be used as a simple authentication method
when network authentication is not used.

Device Account Mode Setting

A specific user can be stored as an auto login user.
When this setting is enabled, login can be performed
automatically.
This function eliminates the bother of logging in but still
allows the settings of the selected user (network
settings, favorite operations, etc.) to be applied.
You can also allow users other than the auto login user
to temporarily log in and work using their own authority
and settings. To allow other users to log in temporarily
when [Device Account Mode] is enabled, select [Allow
Login by Different User].
As an example, this enables uses such as
"authentication for color printing only".

• If auto login fails for some reason when auto login is
enabled, or the login user does not have
administrator rights, all system settings or the
system settings (administrator) will lock. In this
event, the administrator should select the [Admin
Password] key in the system settings screen and
log in again.

• To log in as a user other than the auto login user
when [Allow Login by Different User] is enabled,
press the [LOGOUT] key to cancel the auto user
login state. The user authentication screen will
appear to let you log in. After using the machine,
press the [LOGOUT] key to log out.

• The login screen will vary depending on the
authentication method that is selected. For more
information, see "USER AUTHENTICATION" (page
1-15).

• When "Authenticate a User by User Number Only"
is selected for the authentication method, network
authentication cannot be used.

The Number of User Name
Displayed Setting on Operation
Panel

The number of users that are displayed in the user
selection screen can be selected (6, 12, or 18 users).

This setting also applies to the user selection screen
of print hold.

A Warning when Login Fails

This setting is used to display a warning and prohibit
login for five minutes if login fails three times in a row.
This prevents an unauthorized person from attempting to
guess a password. (The number of failed login attempts
is retained even if the power is turned off.)

Locking of the operation panel for 5 minutes can be
canceled.

Disabling of Printing by Invalid
User

Printing by users whose information is not stored in the
machine, such as printing without entering valid user
information in the printer driver or printing of a file on an
FTP server from the Web pages, can be prohibited.

When a print job is executed by a user that is not
stored in the machine, the factory-stored "Other User"
is used as the login user. For more information, see
"Factory-stored users" (page 1-22).

When login is performed by network authentication
using user information that is not stored in the
machine, the login user will be the factory-stored
"User". For more information, see "Factory-stored

users" (page 1-22).

Display Usage Status after Login

When user authentication is enabled, this setting
specifies whether or not the page counts of a user
appear when the user logs in.

Disable Switching of Display Order

This is used to prohibit changes to the order of display
(search number order, ascending, descending) in the
user list.
When this setting is enabled, selecting a tab on the user
list screen does not change the order. The display order
will remain fixed at the order that is in effect when this
setting is enabled.

User Information Print

The following lists can be printed.

•User List

• List of Number of Pages Used

• Page Limit Group List*

• Authority Group List

• Favorite Operation Group List*

• All User Information Print

Select the key of the desired list to begin printing.
* Cannot be printed when no groups are stored.

Automatically print stored jobs
after login

When retention is enabled in the printer driver and print
data has been spooled to the machine, you can have the
spooled print data automatically print out when the user
who enabled retention logs in.

Default Network Authentication
Server Setting

Use this to set the default network authentication server.
When a user logs in from the Web page or sends a print
job to the machine using user information that is not
stored on the machine, the authentication server is not
known. This setting is used to specify one of the LDAP
servers stored on the machine as the authentication
server.

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE

IMPORTANT POINTS WHEN USING THE BYPASS TRAY

• When using plain paper other than SHARP standard paper or special media other than SHARP-recommended
transparency film, or when printing on the reverse side of previously used paper, the paper must be loaded one sheet
at a time. Loading more than one sheet at a time will cause misfeeds.

• Before loading paper, straighten any curling in the paper. If curled paper is not straightened, a misfeed may occur.

• When adding paper, remove any paper remaining in the bypass tray, combine it with the paper to be added, and
reload as a single stack. If paper is added without removing the remaining paper, a misfeed may result.

Inserting paper

Place paper in the horizontal orientation.

Inserting transparency film

• Use SHARP-recommended transparency film. When using
transparency film, place the film on the bypass tray with the rounded
corner at the left front. This ensures that the print side faces in the
correct direction.

• Do not touch the print side of transparency film.

• When loading multiple sheets of transparency film in the bypass tray,
be sure to fan the sheets several times before loading.

• When printing on transparency film, be sure to remove each sheet as it
exits the machine. Allowing sheets to stack in the output tray may result
in curling.

1-43

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE

Loading envelopes

When inserting envelopes in the bypass tray, place them aligned to the left side in the orientation shown below.
Only the front side of envelopes can be printed on. Be sure to place the front side face down.
When loading envelopes, load one envelope at a time.

• Do not print on both sides of an envelope. This may result in misfeeds or poor print quality.

• Some operating environments may cause creasing, smudging, misfeeds, poor toner fusing, or machine failure.

Important points when using envelopes

Envelopes that cannot be used

Do not use the following envelopes. Envelopes misfeed, and smudges may result.

• Envelopes with metal clasps, plastic hooks, or ribbon hooks

JOB

SHARP OSA

Sharp OSA (Open Systems Architecture) is an architecture that enables external applications to be directly connected to
a machine over a network.
When a machine that supports Sharp OSA is used, the keys that are displayed on the operation panel and functions can
be linked to an external application.
There are two types of external applications: "standard application" and "external account application". An "external
account application" is used for centralized account management of a machine on a network. A "standard application"
refers to all other applications.

STANDARD APPLICATION

When a previously registered standard application is selected in the Web pages of the machine, the machine retrieves
the operation screen from the registered URL. Control of the operation screen is performed by the standard application.

Standard application setup

To enable a general application in the Web pages of the machine, click [Application Settings] in the administrator menu
frame, and then [External Applications Settings] and [Standard Applications]. Configure settings for the standard
application in the screen that appears.

Selecting a standard application

The procedure for selecting a general application that has been enabled in the Web pages of the machine is explained
below.

Keys in the display can be selected with the arrow keys and the [OK] key.

Press the Sharp OSA shortcut key.

STATUS

SYSTEM

Select the standard application.

If two or more standard applications have been stored in the
Web pages, the screen to select the standard application will
appear. Select the standard application that you wish to use.
If only one standard application has been stored in the Web
pages, connection to the standard application will begin.

application.

1-47

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE

EXTERNAL ACCOUNT APPLICATION

An external account application can be used in "external authentication mode" or "external count mode". When external
authentication mode is used, the login screen is retrieved from the application when the machine is started. When a job
ends, a job notification screen is sent to the application to enable counts to be kept for each authenticated user.
When "external count mode" is used, the login screen is not displayed when the machine is started. Only a job result
notification is sent to the application. User authentication by the external account application cannot be used, however,
the external account application can be used in combination with the internal account function.

External account application setup

To enable an external account application in the Web pages of the machine, click [Application Settings] in the
administrator menu frame, and then [External Applications Settings] and [External Accounting Application Settings].
Configure settings for the external account application in the screen that appears. The setting change will take effect
after the machine is restarted. To restart the machine, see "TURNING THE POWER ON AND OFF" (page 1-13).

Operation in external account mode

The two modes for using an external account application operate as explained below.

External authentication mode

When the "Enable Authentication by External Server" checkbox is selected in "External Application Setting" in the Web
page, the machine enters external authentication mode. When the machine is powered on in external authentication
mode, the machine accesses the external account application and displays the login screen. The login screen also
appears when the [Call] key is selected to run a job in the job status complete screen. (The login screen does not appear
if the user has already logged in by the normal method.)
The [JOB STATUS] key can be pressed while the login screen appears to show the job status screen. To return to the
previous state, press the mode select key.

• The user control function of the machine cannot be used in external authentication mode.
However, "User Registration", "User Count Display", "User Count Reset", "User Information Print", and "The Number of
User Name Displayed Setting" can be used.

• The mode select key cannot be used while the login screen appears.

If login fails

If the login screen fails to appear or the application does not operate correctly, the machine may also stop operating
correctly. In this event, it is recommended that you quit external account mode from the Web pages of the machine. For
more information, see [Help] in the Web pages.
To forcibly exit external account mode from the machine's operation panel, follow these steps:
Change "External Application Setting" in the Web page. Restart the machine to make the change take effect. To restart
the machine, see "TURNING THE POWER ON AND OFF" (page 1-13).

External count mode

When only the "External Account Control" setting is enabled in "External Application Setting" in the Web page, the
machine enters external count mode.
Unlike external authentication mode, when the machine is started in "external count mode", the login screen of the
external account application is not displayed. Only the job result is sent to the external account application. External
count mode can be used together with the user control function of the machine. (External count mode can also be used
when the user control function is disabled.)

This printer driver supports the PostScript 3 page description language
developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated, and enables the machine to
be used as a PostScript 3 compatible printer.
(A PPD file is available if it is desired to use the Windows standard PS
printer driver.)

Can be used in the
standard machine
configuration.

Installing the printer driver in a Windows environment

To install the printer driver and configure settings in a Windows environment, see "2 - SETUP IN A WINDOWS
ENVIRONMENT" in the Software Setup Guide.

The explanations in this manual of printing in a Windows environment generally use the screens of the PCL6 printer driver.
The printer driver screens may differ slightly depending on the printer driver that you are using.

Installing the printer driver in a Macintosh environment

To install the printer driver and configure settings in a Macintosh environment, see "3 - SETUP IN A MACINTOSH
ENVIRONMENT"in the Software Setup Guide.

In a Macintosh environment, the machine can only be used if it is connected to your network.

The tray that has the size and type of paper selected in "Paper Size" and "Paper Type" on the [Paper] tab is
automatically selected.

• When other than [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Source"
The specified tray is used for printing regardless of the "Paper Size" setting.

When [Bypass Tray] is selected

The "Paper Type" must also be selected. Check the bypass tray and make sure that the desired type of paper is
loaded, and then select the appropriate "Paper Type" setting.

• Special media such as envelopes can also be placed in the bypass tray. For the procedure for loading paper and other
media in the bypass tray, see "LOADING PAPER IN THE BYPASS TRAY" (page 1-42) in "1. BEFORE USING THE
MACHINE".

• When "Enable Detected Paper Size in Bypass Tray" (Web page only : disabled by factory default) or "Enable Selected
Paper Type in Bypass Tray" (Web page only : enabled by factory default) is enabled in the system settings (administrator),
printing will not take place if the paper size or paper type specified in the printer driver is different from the paper size or
paper type specified in the settings of the bypass tray.

• When [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Type"
A tray with plain paper or recycled paper of the size specified in "Paper Size" is automatically selected. (The factory
