CAUTIONS ON USING  
Warning:  
The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area when removing misfed paper.  
Do not look directly at the light source. Doing so may damage your eyes.  
Caution:  
Do not switch the machine rapidly on and off. After turning the machine off, wait 10 to 15 seconds before turning it  
back on.  
Machine power must be turned off before installing any supplies.  
Place the machine on a firm, level surface.  
Do not install the machine in a humid or dusty location.  
When the machine is not used for a long time, for example, during prolonged holidays, turn the power switch off  
and remove the power cord from the outlet.  
When moving the machine, be sure to turn the power switch off and remove the power cord from the outlet.  
Do not cover the machine with a dust cover, cloth or plastic film while the power is on. Doing so may prevent heat  
dissipation, damaging the machine.

hazardous laser radiation exposure.  
The socket-outlet should be installed near the machine and should be easily accessible.  
IMPORTANT POINTS WHEN SELECTING AN  
INSTALLATION SITE  
Improper installation may damage the machine. Please note the following during initial installation and whenever the  
machine is moved.  
If the machine is moved from a cool place to a warm place, condensation may form inside the machine. Operation  
in this condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave the machine at room temperature for at least  
2 hours before use.  
Caution  
Do not install your machine in areas that are:  
damp, humid, or very  
exposed to direct sunlight  
dusty  
poorly  
ventilated  
subject to extreme  
temperature or humidity  
changes, e.g., near an  
air conditioner or  
heater.  
3
The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection and  
disconnection.  
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.  
Connect the machine to a power outlet which is not used for other electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is  
connected to the same outlet, the light may flicker.  
Note  
Be sure to allow the required space around the machine  
for servicing and proper ventilation.  
8" (20 cm)

(20 cm)  
A small amount of ozone is produced within the machine during operation.  
The emission level is insufficient to cause any health hazard.  
Note:  
3
The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m ) calculated as an 8 hr. time-  
weighted average concentration.  
However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable odor, it is advisable to place the  
machine in a ventilated area.  
CAUTIONS ON HANDLING  
Be careful in handling the machine as follows to maintain the performance of this machine.  
Do not drop the machine, subject it to shock or strike it against any object.  
Do not expose the drum cartridge to direct sunlight.  
Doing so will damage the surface (green portion) of the drum cartridge, causing smudges on copies.  
Store spare supplies such as drum cartridges and TD cartridges in a dark place without removing  
from the package before use.  
If they are exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat, poor copies may result.  
Safety precautions:  
This Digital Copier is rated Class I and complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 of the CDRH standards. This  
means that the machine does not produce hazardous laser radiation. For your safety, observe the precautions  
below.  
Do not remove the cabinet, operation panel or any other covers.  
The machines exterior covers contain several safety interlock switches. Do not bypass any safety interlock by  
inserting wedges or other items into switch slots.

MAIN FEATURES  
High-speed laser copying  
1
2
First-copy time* at 300 dpi* is only 7.2 seconds .  
Copying speed is 16 copies per minute. This is ideal for business use and provides a big boost to workplace  
productivity.  
1
*
First-Copy time may vary depending on the power-supply voltage, ambient temperature, and other operating conditions.  
"dpi" ("dots per inch") is unit that is used to measure resolution. Resolution indicates how much detail can be reproduced in  
a printed or scanned image.  
2
*
High-quality digital image  
High-quality copying at 600 dpi is performed.  
In addition to automatic exposure adjustment, two original modes can be selected: "TEXT" for text-only originals,  
and "PHOTO" for photographs. The exposure can be adjusted to five levels in each mode.  
The photo mode copying function allows clear copying of delicate halftone original images such as monochrome  
photos and color photos.  
Enhanced copying features  
Zoom copies can be made from 25% to 400% in 1% increments.  
(When the SPF is being used, the zoom copy ratio range is 50% to 200%.)  
Continuous copying of up to 999 copies is possible. (Can be changed to a maximum of 99 copies in the user  
programs.)  
The user programs allow customized machine settings and management. Access to the machine can be  
controlled by enabling audit mode.  
Scan once/Print many  
The machine is equipped with a memory buffer allowing the machine to scan an original once and make up to 999  
copies of the scanned image. This improves workflow, reduces operating noise from the machine and reduces  
wear and tear on the scanning mechanism, which provides for a higher reliability.  
Laser printer function  
The accompanying printer driver can be installed to enable use of the machine as a printer. (See the  
accompanying Software Setup Guide.)  
Environment and people friendly design  
Preheat and auto power shut-off modes are provided to reduce power consumption when the machine is not in  
use.  
A universal design has been implemented in the product whereby the height of the operation panel and shape of  
the keys are designed to be usable by as many people as possible.

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 (

* The number of sheets of the paper which can be set changes with the weight of a paper.  
Special papers  
Follow these guidelines when using special papers.  
G 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).  
G There are many varieties of special paper available on the market, and some cannot be used with this  
machine. Before using special paper, contact a SHARP service center.  
G Before using other than SHARP recommended paper, make a test copy to see if the paper is suitable.

may occur.  
Load paper into the tray.  
Do not load paper higher than the line on  
the tray (up to 250 sheets).  
Note  
Make sure that the paper fits under the tabs  
on the right side of the tray.  
Make sure the stack of paper is straight  
before loading it. When adding paper, take  
the remaining paper out and combine it into  
a single stack with the new paper.

Important points when inserting paper in the bypass tray  
Up to 100 sheets of standard copy paper can be set in the bypass tray.  
Be sure to place 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" size paper or envelopes horizontally as shown in the following diagram (  
).  
Available Not available  
When loading envelopes, make sure that they are straight and flat and do not have loosely glued construction  
flaps (not the closure flap).  
Special papers except SHARP recommended transparency film, labels, and envelopes must be fed one sheet at a  
time through the bypass tray.  
When adding paper, first remove any paper remaining in the tray, combine it with the paper to be added and then  
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.

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE  
Envelopes  
Do not use the following envelopes, as misfeeds will occur.  
Envelopes with metal tabs, clasps, strings, holes, or windows.  
Envelopes with rough fibers, carbon paper, or glossy surfaces.  
Envelopes with two or more flaps.  
Envelopes with tape, film, or paper attached to the flap.  
Envelopes with a fold in the flap.  
Envelopes with glue on the flap to be moistened for sealing.  
Envelopes with labels or stamps.  
Envelopes that are slightly inflated with air.  
Envelopes with glue protruding from the seal area.

PRINTER FUNCTIONS  
3
The machine includes a USB 1.1 connector and a parallel connector as standard equipment.  
A computer can be connected to these connectors to use the machine as a printer.  
To use the machine as a printer, the printer driver must first be installed as explained in the "Software Setup Guide".  
If a problem occurs in printer mode, see "TROUBLESHOOTING" (p.40).  
When interrupt copying is being performed, printing is not possible.  
Note  
USING THE PRINTER MODE  
The procedure for loading paper is the same as for loading copy paper. See "LOADING PAPER". (p.13)  
Print jobs received while the machine is copying will be stored in memory. When the copy job is finished, the  
print jobs will begin printing.  
Note  
Printing is not possible when the front or side cover is opened for machine maintenance, or when a misfeed  
occurs or the machine runs out of paper or toner, or when the drum cartridge reaches its replacement time.  
If an original misfeed occurs in the SPF, printing will not be possible until the misfed original is removed and the  
SPF is restored to a usable state.  
BASIC PROCEDURE FOR PRINTING  
The basic procedure for printing is explained below. To use convenient printer functions, see the "Online Manual" or  
the printer driver help file.  
Make sure that paper is loaded in the  
tray.  
The procedure for loading paper is the same as for  
copying. See "LOADING PAPER" (p.13) and make  
sure the paper that you wish to use is loaded.

This chapter explains how to set the automatic exposure level, toner save mode/high image quality mode, and the  
user programs, which are custom settings that control fine points of the machines operation.  
ADJUSTING THE AUTOMATIC  
EXPOSURE LEVEL  
The exposure level used in automatic exposure adjustment, which automatically adjusts the copy exposure  
according to the original, can be adjusted. If copies tend to be too dark or too light when automatic exposure  
adjustment is used, follow the steps below to adjust the automatic exposure level.  
The automatic exposure level can be adjusted separately for the document glass and the SPF.  
Note  
The copy and printer cannot be used while the automatic exposure level is being adjusted.  
To adjust the automatic exposure  
level in the SPF, place the original in  
the SPF. (p.19)  
Press the [Light] key ( ) or [Dark]  
key ( ) to lighten or darken the  
automatic exposure level as desired.

Start printing after quitting all unused application software programs.  
The paper is loaded so that printing takes place on the  
back side of the paper.  
The printed image is light and  
uneven.  
Some paper types have a front and back side. If the paper is  
loaded so that printing takes place on the back side, toner will not  
adhere well to the paper and a good image will not be obtained.  
You are using paper that is outside the specified size and  
weight range.  
Use copy paper within the specified range.  
Paper curled or damp.  
Do not use curled or crimped paper. Replace with dry copy paper.  
During periods when the machine is not used for a long time,  
remove the paper from the tray and store it in a dark place in a  
bag to prevent moisture absorption.  
The printed image is dirty.  
You did not set sufficient margins in the paper settings of  
your application.  
The top and bottom of the paper may be dirty if the margins are  
set outside of the specified print quality area.  
Set the margins in the software application within the specified  
print quality area.  
The paper loaded in the tray is not the same size as that  
specified in the printer driver.  
Check if the "Paper Size" options suit the size of the paper loaded  
in the tray.  
If the "Fit To Page" setting is activated, make sure that the paper  
size selected from the drop-down list of the "Fit To Paper Size"  
option is the same as the size of the loaded paper.

The orientation of document setting is not correct.  
Click the "Paper" tab in the printer driver setup screen, and verify  
if the "Image Orientation" option is set to your requirements.  
The printed image is skewed or it  
runs off the paper.  
Paper is not loaded properly.  
Make sure the paper is properly loaded.

COUNT AND TONER LEVEL  
CHECKING THE TOTAL OUTPUT COUNT  
From the "0" display, you can check the total output count, total copy 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 [ ] key.  
The total output count  
appears sequentially in  
two parts while you hold  
down the [0] key.  
The count display and  
counting method are the  
same as for the total  
output count.  
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  
Each 11" x 17" size page is counted as two  
pages.  
Note  
During a copy run, pressing the [0] key  
shows the number of completed copy  
pages, not the total output count.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE  
CLEANING THE DOCUMENT GLASS AND SPF/  
DOCUMENT COVER  
If the document glass, SPF, underside of the document cover, or the scanner for originals coming from the SPF (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/SPF will also be copied. Wipe the document glass, document cover portion of  
the SPF 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 A SPF IS INSTALLED)  
If white or black lines appear in copies made with using the SPF, use the provided  
glass cleaner to clean the original scanning glass. (If white or black lines appear in  
copies or printed pages when the SPF is not used, see "CLEANING THE TRANSFER  
CHARGER" on page 59.)  
Example of dirty print image

: Not an irritant (Rabbits)  
: No sensitization  
: Negative (Ames Test)  
: In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human  
carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for which there is inadequate human  
evidence, but sufficient animal evidence on which to base an opinion of carcinogenicity. The  
classification is based upon the development of lung tumors in rats receiving chronic inhalation  
exposures to free carbon black at levels that induce particle overload of the lung. Studies  
performed in animal models other than rats did not show any association between carbon black  
and lung tumors. Moreover, a two-year cancer bioassay using a typical toner preparation  
containing carbon black demonstrated no association between toner exposure and tumor  
development in rats.

Date Issued : Jun. 1, 2005  
MSDS No. F-01381  
Chronic Effect  
: In a study in rats of chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to moderate degree of  
lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of the rats in the high concentration (16mg/m3) exposure  
group, and a minimal to mild degree of fibrosis was noted in 22% of the animals in the middle  
(4mg/m3) exposure group, but no pulmonary change was reported in the lowest (1mg/m3)  
exposure group, the most relevant level to potential human exposures.
