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.

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 machine’s exterior covers contain several safety interlock switches. Do not bypass any safety interlock by
inserting wedges or other items into switch slots.

• 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.

• 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.

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 machine’s 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.

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.

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.)

: 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.
