Carbon copy print is used to print copies of the same page on different types of paper. Each paper type is loaded in a different tray,
and the different paper types must all be the same size.
For example, carbon copy print can be performed with standard paper in tray 1 and colored paper in tray 2 for output as an invoice
original and copy. As another example, standard paper can be loaded in tray 1 and recycled paper can be loaded in tray 2 to create
an original for presentation and a copy to be retained.

size or other print format setting is changed or a notice page is printed due to

Print processing efficiency increases when this mode is used, and for this
reason notification that the job is finished may not appear at the same time as
completion of output of the printed pages. In addition, special print processing

Protecting information programmed in the web page ("Passwords")

Passwords can be set to restrict Web page access and protect settings. Note that it is not necessary to set passwords; the network
scanner function can also be used without passwords.
A password can be set for the administrator and passwords can be set for each user. If you use a user password to access the Web
page, you will be able to establish, edit, and delete destinations in the Scanner Destination Management menu; however, you will
not be able to establish settings in the Setup menu.
In the factory default setting, both password functions are disabled. To set a User and/or Admin password, the administrator needs
to follow the steps below:
In the link menu, click [Passwords].
Click [Submit] to store the entered passwords.

in the menu frame.

If you enable the password protection without entering User or Administrator passwords, the passwords which were previously
entered will be automatically set. The factory default passwords are "Sharp" for both Admin and User.
If passwords have already been established, enter the Admin password in the [Admin Password] field. When setting the
passwords for the first time, enter "Sharp" in this field.
Note

Once the passwords have been established, you will be prompted for user name and password every time you open the Web page
of this system. The user names will always be "user" for user level and "admin" for administrator level.
