MAIN FEATURES  
High-speed laser copying  
First-copy time*1 is only 8.0*2 seconds.  
Copying speed is 20 copies per minute. This is ideal for business use and provides a  
big boost to workplace productivity.  
*1 The first-copy time is measured after the power save indicator turns off following  
power on, using the document glass with the polygon rotating in the copy ready state  
and "LSU SETTING" set to ON in the user programs (A4, paper fed from paper tray).  
*2 When user program 24 is set to OFF.  
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 increments of 1%. (When the  
RSPF is being used, the zoom copy ratio range is 50% to 200%.)  
• Continuous copying of up to 99 copies is possible.  
• Sets of output can be offset from each other for easy separation (offset function).  
• Sorting by sets is possible without the need for a sorter or other special device  
(Sort copy).

PREPARATIONS  
Power off  
Make sure that the machine is not in operation and then turn the power  
switch to the "OFF" position.  
If the power switch is turned off while the machine is  
in operation, a misfeed may occur and the job that  
was in progress will be canceled.

Check the following to make sure the machine is not in operation:  
• The ready indicator is lit. (Initial state)  
• The power save indicator is lit. (preheat mode or auto shut-off mode)  
Power save modes  
The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption and  
thereby reduce 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. In this mode, the power save indicator lights up. Normal operation automatically  
resumes when a key on the operation panel is pressed, an original is placed, 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. The power save indicator lights up, the display shows a  
message indicating that the machine is in auto power shut-off mode. To resume normal  
operation, press the [START] key (  
when a print job is received or scanning is begun from a computer. While in auto power  
shut-off mode, no keys (except the [START] key ( )) can be used.  
). Normal operation also resumes automatically  
The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time can be  
changed with "PREHEAT MODE" and "AUTO SHUT-OFF TIME" in the  
user programs. It is suggested that you set times that are appropriate  
for your usage of the machine. (p.62 and p.63)  
Note  
Check RSPF open function  
When enabled, this function may help prevent wasteful use of toner that occurs  
when the RSPF cover is not completely closed.  
If the start (  
) key is pressed when the RSPF cover is not completely closed,  
"CLOSE THE SPF/RSPF COVER." will appear in the display and copying may not take  
place. If copying does not take place, copying can be performed by pressing the start  
(
) key again, however, the scan size set in "CHANGING A TRAY'S PAPER SIZE  
SETTING" (p.23) or "VALID COPY WIDTH" (program number 25) (p.65) will be used.  
If the RSPF cover is completely closed after "CLOSE THE SPF/RSPF COVER."  
appears, copying will take place at the normal size.

LOADING PAPER  
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 a SHARP service center.  
Before using other than SHARP recommended paper, make a test copy to  
see if the paper is suitable.

BYPASS FEED (including special paper)  
The bypass tray can be used to feed standard paper, transparency film, labels,  
envelopes, and other special purpose paper.  
Important points when inserting paper in the bypass tray  
Up to 50 sheets of standard copy paper can be inserted in the bypass tray. (Capacity  
will vary depending on the type of paper loaded.)  
Be sure to place envelopes horizontally as shown in the following diagram.

• 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.  
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.  
• Envelopes with part of the seal area peeled off.

PRINTER/SCANNER  
FUNCTIONS  
6
The machine includes a USB connector and a LAN connector as standard equipment.  
When the USB connector is used, the printer and scanner functions can be used.  
When the LAN connector is used, the printer function can be used.  
The machine has the following features:  
• High-speed data transfer (when connected to a USB 2.0 connector)  
• ROPM* function  
* ROPM is an acronym for "Rip Once Print Many" processing. The ROPM function stores  
multiple pages of print data in memory before printing. When printing multiple copies,  
this eliminates the need for the computer to repeatedly transmit the print data.  
To use the machine as a printer or scanner, the printer driver or scanner driver must  
first be installed as explained in the "SET UP THE SOFTWARE".  
• If a problem occurs in printer or scanner mode, see the Online  
Manual.  
Note  
• When using USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode), be sure to read "System  
requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode)" (below) to verify that  
your system and the machine settings are configured appropriately.  
System requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode)  
The following system is required to use USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode):  
Your computer must be running Windows 2000 Professional / XP / Vista and the  
Microsoft USB 2.0 driver must be installed.  
• The "USB 2.0 MODE SWITCH" setting in the machine's user programs must be  
set to "Hi-Speed". To change the setting, see "USB 2.0 MODE SWITCH" in the  
user programs. (p.66).  
* Even when the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver is installed, some USB 2.0 expansion cards  
are not capable of attaining the speed stipulated by the Hi-Speed standard. This  
problem can often be fixed by installing a more recent driver for the card. To obtain  
the most recent driver for your card, contact the card's manufacturer.

Carcinogenicity : 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.  
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.
