GETTING STARTED INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS To ensure safety and proper machine performance, please note the following before initial installation and whenever the machine is to be relocated. Installation requirements 1. The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection. 2. 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. 3.
Do not touch the photoconductive drum. Scratches or smudges on the drum will cause dirty copies. 2. The fusing unit is extremely hot. Exercise care in this area. Cautions 1. GETTING STARTED CAUTIONS Fusing unit 3. Photoconductive drum Installation adjusters are provided on the optional stand/ 500-sheet paper drawer or stand/1000-sheet paper drawer. When moving the machine with the optional stand/500-sheet paper drawer or stand/1000-sheet paper drawer, be sure to raise the installation adjusters.
GETTING STARTED LOADING COPY PAPER Loading copy paper The paper required ( ) indicator will light up when there is no copy paper in a selected paper feed station or when a selected paper tray is not installed or is improperly installed. For best results, use only Sharp recommended paper.
LOADING COPY PAPER Changing the lower paper tray’s inner cassette Gently lift and pull out the lower paper tray. 2 Grasp the inner cassette tabs and remove the cassette. 3 Remove the cover of the inner cassette to be installed. If the cassette is empty, fan the copy paper and place it in the cassette. Loading copy paper 1 ● The cassette holds 500 sheets of 20 lb. bond paper. (For 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" sized paper, the maximum is 250 sheets.) Do not load paper above the maximum height line.
GETTING STARTED ADDING TONER Adding toner The toner required ( ) indicator will light up when toner concentration level in the developer unit is low. If copying is indicator is lit, copies will gradually become continued while the lighter until the copier stops and the indicator begins blinking. indicator may also begin blinking during long copy runs of The multiple dark originals, even though toner is left. If the indicator begins to blink, the copier will stop making copies.
ADDING TONER GETTING STARTED Place the new toner cartridge with the tabs in the notches as shown. 5 Slide the toner cartridge along the guides over the toner hopper. 6 Hold the toner cartridge with one hand while pulling on the sealing tape to remove it. 7 Tap on the top of the toner cartridge 5 times to release all toner into the toner hopper. Adding toner 4 Sealing tape ● 8 Slide the empty toner cartridge back along the guides and remove it.

POWER SAVE MODES The copier 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. ● ● User programs The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time have been preset at the factory to 15min. for preheat mode and 60 min. for auto power shut-off mode.
POWER SAVE MODES Setting the power save modes The factory default settings for the power save modes are OFF for the auto power save control function and ON for the preheat and auto power shut-off modes. The auto power save control function can be enabled or disabled as desired using user program No. 4. If this function is disabled, the time that elapses before the copier enters a power save mode after any operation is made can be set manually. This time is set with user program No.
USER MAINTENANCE The document glass and document cover must be kept clean to avoid dirty areas from being copied onto the copies. Document glass and document cover Wipe the document glass and document cover with a soft, clean cloth. If necessary, dampen the cloth with water. Do not use thinner, benzene, or similar volatile cleaning agents. ● If an optional document feeder (ADF or RADF) is installed, wipe the transport belt with a soft, clean cloth.
