card print side down.  
Be sure to load in  
portrait direction.  
2) Set guide  
up, and then fit guide  
and  
against the loaded cards.  
zMost paper and envelopes will be fed correctly from the paper tray. However, if  
paper or envelopes are particularly stiff or heavy, they should be fed one at a  
time through the bypass tray. This will avoid wrinkling or misfeeding.  
zIt is recommended that you perform test printing on normal paper before printing  
on the card.

LOADING PAPER INTO THE PAPER TRAY  
Pull out the output tray extension to the proper position, and  
then raise the paper stop guide.

zBe sure that paper is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges.  
zMake sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.  
zFan the paper and tap it against a flat surface to ensure it is even before loading  
into the printer.  
zThe paper tray can hold up to 150 sheets of 75g/m2 (20lbs.) plain paper. Be sure  
to keep the total thickness of the loaded paper stack below 15mm.  
zWhen loading postcard size paper into the paper tray, load it in portrait direction.  
zWhen loading paper, ensure there is no space between the paper and the guide,  
and check if the guide is not set too narrow causing the paper to bend. Loading  
paper in these ways will result in document skew or a paper jam.  
zThe paper knob should always be set to the "Normal Paper ( )" setting except  
while printing on thick paper or envelopes.  
zWhen not using the printer for an extended period, remove all paper from the  
paper tray and store it in a dry place. If paper is left in the printer for an extended  
period, the paper will absorb moisture from the air, resulting in paper jams.  
zWhen adding new paper to the paper tray, remove the old paper already  
contained in the tray, place it on top of the new paper. Then load it all into the  
paper tray. Placing new paper on top of the paper already contained in the tray  
may result in feeding two sheets at one time.

PLEASE READ THIS LICENSE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SOFTWARE.  
BY USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THE  
TERMS OF THIS LICENSE.  
1. License.  
The application, demonstration, system and other software accompanying this License, whether  
on disk, in read only memory, or on any other media (the "Software") and related documentation  
are licensed to you by SHARP. You own the disk on which the Software is recorded but SHARP  
and/or SHARP'S Licensors retain title to the Software and related documentation. This License  
allows you to use the Software on one or more computers connected to a single printer and make  
one copy of the Software in machine-readable form for backup purposes only. You must  
reproduce on such copy the SHARP copyright notice, the copyright notice of SHARP'S Licensors  
and any other proprietary legends of SHARP and/or its Licensors that were on the original copy  
of the Software. You may also transfer all your license rights in the software, the backup copy of  
the Software, the related documentation and a copy of this License to another party, provided the  
other party reads and agrees to the terms and conditions of this License.  
2. Restrictions.  
The Software contains copyrighted material, trade secrets and other proprietary material which is  
owned by SHARP and/or its Licensors and in order to protect them you may not decompile,  
reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Software to a human-perceivable form. You  
may not modify, network, rent, lease, loan, distribute or create derivative works based upon the  
Software in whole or in part. You may not electronically transmit the Software from one  
computer to another or over a network.  
3. Termination.  
This license is effective until terminated. You may terminate this License at any time by  
destroying the Software and related documentation and all copies thereof. This License will  
terminate immediately without notice from SHARP and/or SHARP'S Licensors if you fail to  
comply with any provision of this License. Upon termination you must destroy the Software and  
related documentation and all copies thereof.  
4. Export Law Assurances.  
You agree and certify that neither the Software nor any other technical data received from  
SHARP, nor the direct product thereof, will be exported outside the United States except as  
authorized and as permitted by the laws and regulations of the United States. If the Software has  
been rightfully obtained by you outside of the United States, you agree that you will not re-export  
the Software nor any other technical data received from SHARP, nor the direct product thereof,  
except as permitted by the laws and regulations of the United States and the laws and the  
regulation of the jurisdiction in which you obtained the Software.  
5. Government End Users.  
If you are acquiring the Software on behalf of any unit or agency of the United States  
Government, the following provisions apply. The Government agrees:  
(i) if the Software is supplied to the Department of Defense (DoD), the Software is classified as  
"Commercial Computer Software" and the Government is acquiring only "restricted rights" in  
the Software and its documentation as that term is defined in Clause 252.227-7013 (c)(1) of  
the DFARS; and  
(ii) if the Software is supplied to any unit or agency of the United States Government other than  
DoD, the Government's rights in the Software and its documentation will be as defined in

SHARP warrants the disks on which the Software is recorded to be free from defects in materials  
and workmanship under normal use for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of purchase as  
evidenced by a copy of the receipt. The entire liability of SHARP and/or its Licensors and your  
exclusive remedy will be replacement of the disk which fails to meet the limited warranty  
provided by this Clause 6. A disk will be replaced when it is returned to SHARP or a SHARP  
authorized representative with a copy of the receipt. SHARP will have no responsibility to  
replace a disk damaged by accident, abuse or misapplication.  
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ON THE DISKS, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED  
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,  
ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO NINETY (90) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF DELIVERY.  
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE  
OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.  
7. Disclaimer of Warranty on Software.  
You expressly acknowledge and agree that use of the Software is at your sole risk. The software and  
related documentation are provided "AS IS" and without warranty of any kind and SHARP and  
SHARP'S Licensor(s) (for the purpose of provisions 7 and 8, SHARP and SHARP'S Licensor(s) shall  
be collectively referred to as "SHARP") EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS  
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF  
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SHARP DOES NOT  
WARRANT THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET YOUR  
REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE

CORRECTED.  
FURTHERMORE, SHARP DOES NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY  
REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF THE  
SOFTWARE OR RELATED DOCUMENTATION IN TERMS OF THEIR CORRECTNESS,  
ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR  
ADVICE GIVEN BY SHARP OR A SHARP AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE SHALL CREATE  
A WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF THIS WARRANTY. SHOULD  
THE SOFTWARE PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU (AND NOT SHARP OR A SHARP AUTHORIZED  
REPRESENTATIVE) ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR  
OR CORRECTION, SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED  
WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.  
8. Limitation of Liability.  
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, SHALL SHARP BE LIABLE  
FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM  
THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE OR RELATED DOCUMENTATION,  
EVEN IF SHARP OR A SHARP AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF  
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE  
LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL  
DAMAGES SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. In no  
event shall SHARP'S total liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in  
contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise) exceed the amount paid by you for the Software.  
9. Controlling Law and Severability.  
For a portion of the Software related with Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows, this license  
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of California and  
Washington, respectively. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision  
of this License, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the License shall be  
enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the  
remainder of this License shall continue in full force and effect.  
10. Complete Agreement.  
This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the use of the  
Software and related documentation, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings or  
agreements, written or oral, regarding such subject matter. No amendment to or modification of this
