POWER ON AND OFF
The power switch is located on the left side of the machine.
POWER ON
Turn the power switch to the "ON"
position.
POWER OFF
Make sure that the machine is not in
operation and then turn the power switch
to the "OFF" position.
It will take about 45
seconds for the machine
to warm up. While the
machine is warming up,
the POWER SAVE
indicator ( ) will blink.

when the machine is
ready to copy.)
However, you can make desired settings and press
the [START] key ( ) during warm-up. Copying will
start after warm-up.
Check the following to make sure the machine is not in
operation:
• The START indicator is lit. (Initial state)
• The POWER SAVE indicator ( ) is lit. ("Preheat
mode" or "Auto power shut-off" mode)
• The machine reverts to the initial settings when it is first turned on, when the [CLEAR ALL] key (
) is pressed,
Note
or when no keys are pressed for the preset "Auto clear" time following the end of a copy job. When the machine
reverts to the initial settings, all settings and functions selected to that point are cancelled. The "Auto clear" time
can be changed in the user settings. (p.69)
• The machine is initially set to automatically enter power save mode if not used for copying or printing, for a
preset period of time. This setting can be changed in the system settings. (p.69)
Power save modes
The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption thereby reducing 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".
Preheat mode
This function automatically switches the machine to a low power consumption state if the set duration of time
elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. The POWER SAVE indicator ( ) lights up,
however, the keys on the operation panel can be used. Normal operation automatically resumes when a key on the
operation panel is pressed, an original is placed, or a print job is received.
Auto power shut-off mode
This function automatically switches the machine to a state that consumes even less power than preheat mode if the
set duration of time elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. All lights except the POWER
SAVE indicator ( ) and ON LINE indicator go off. To resume normal operation, press the [START] key ( ).
Normal operation also resumes automatically when a print job is received. While in auto power shut-off mode, no
keys (except the [START] key ( )) can be used.
The preheat activation time and the "Auto power shut-off timer" can be changed using system settings. It is
suggested that you set times that are appropriate for your usage of the machine. (p.69)
Note
Initial settings
The machine assumes the initial settings when it is first turned on, when the [CLEAR ALL] key (

Special papers
Follow these guidelines when using special papers.
● Use SHARP recommended transparency film and label sheets. Using other than SHARP recommended
paper may result in misfeeds or smudges on the output. If other than SHARP recommended media must
be used, feed each sheet one at a time using the bypass tray (do not attempt continuous copying or
printing).
● There are many varieties of special paper available on the market, and some cannot be used with this
machine. Before using special paper, contact your authorised service representative.
● Before using other than SHARP recommended paper, make a test copy to see if the paper is suitable.

reload as a single stack. The paper to be added must be the same size and type as the paper already in the tray.
• Do not use paper that is smaller than the original. This may cause smudges or unclean images.
• Do not use paper that has already been printed on by a laser printer or plain paper fax machine. This may cause
smudges or unclean images.

The firewall on your computer might prevent the computer
from connecting to the machine. You need to configure the
firewall settings to allow connection between them.
• When using the configuration utility (Set the IP Address):
If you cannot search the machine when using configuration
utility "Set the IP Address", you need to disable the firewall
during the setting. For information on disabling the firewall,
refer to the manual or online help of your operating system
or firewall software.

• When using the connection utility (SC-Scan A):
If you cannot search the machine when using the
connection utility "SC-Scan A", you need to add SC-Scan A
and UDP port number "19540" to the firewall exception list.
For information on adding SC-Scan A and UDP port number
"19540" to the firewall exception list, refer to the manual or
online help of your operating system or firewall software.

The major difference is whether the connection to the
scanner/printer function of the machine from the computers
on the network is 1:1 basis (device server) or 1:n basis (print
server).
SC-Scan A establishes a connection to the scanner function
and enables you to use it as if it was connected locally to your
computer. Therefore, if the scanner function is accessed by a
computer (in use by another user), the scanner function
cannot be shared with other computers.

Check the IP address of each device on the network, then
assign an IP address on the machine.
• Example: In the list displayed after executing "arp -a"
command, if the Ethernet address (Physical address) shown
on the right side of the IP address (Internet address) is
different from the machine's Ethernet address, another

In the environment the machine is operating, there may be a
router or a server (DHCP server) with the function to assign
an IP address. Check the DHCP server and try one of the
following.
• Verify the range of the IP address the DHCP server assigns,
and assign a unique IP address that is out of the range. The
IP address has to be in the same segment. The
DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocol of the machine needs to be
disabled.
Example: If the range of the IP address the DHCP server
assigns is from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.32, assign an IP
address which has not been used in the network from the
range between 192.168.0.33 and 192.168.0.254. When you
assign an IP address, make sure that the same IP address
has not been assigned on multiple devices. The DHCP
server itself may have the IP address such as 192.168.0.1
or 192.168.0.254. Please verify.
Why does the IP address change
every time I turn on the machine?
–
• Register the machine on DHCP server in order to assign a
fixed IP address. (Refer to your DHCP server manual for
how to configure.)
The configuration of the machine may not have been
completed properly. Typically the setup information is not

CHECKING THE TOTAL OUTPUT
COUNT AND TONER LEVEL
CHECKING THE TOTAL OUTPUT COUNT
When "Auditing mode" is "ON":
From the "- - -" display, you can check the total output count, total copy count, and total scan count as explained
below.
When "Auditing mode" is "OFF":
From the " 0" display, you can check the total output count, total copy count, and total scan count as explained
below.
The total output count is all pages (for both printing and copying) printed by the machine and the total output count
can be counted up to 999,999.
[Total output count]
[Total copy count]
Hold down the [0] key.
Hold down the [READ-END] key ( ).
The total output count

The count display and
counting method are the

Example: Total number of pages output is 12,345.
The total number of pages printed in printer
mode can be calculated by subtracting the
total copy count from the total output count.
Note
[Total scan count]
Hold down the [ ] key.
• Each A3 size page is counted as two
pages.
Note
• During a copy run, pressing the [0] key

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE DOCUMENT GLASS AND
RSPF/DOCUMENT COVER
If the document glass, underside of the document cover/RSPF, or the scanner for originals coming from the RSPF
(the long narrow glass surface on the right side of the document glass) become dirty, the dirt may appear on copies.
Always keep these parts clean.
Stains or dirt on the document glass/RSPF will also be copied. Wipe the document glass, underside of the document
cover/RSPF and the scanning window on the document glass with a soft, clean cloth.
If necessary, dampen the cloth with water. Do not use thinner, benzene, or similar volatile cleaning agents.
Do not spray flammable cleaner gas. Gas from the spray may come in contact with the internal
electrical components or high-temperature parts of the fusing unit, creating a risk of fire or
electrical shock.
Warning
CLEANING THE ORIGINAL SCANNING GLASS (ONLY
WHEN AN RSPF IS INSTALLED)
If white or black lines appear in copies made with using the RSPF, use the
provided glass cleaner to clean the original scanning glass. (If white or
black lines appear in copies or printed pages when the RSPF is not used,
