MAIN FEATURES

High-speed laser copying

•First-copy time at 600 dpi* is only 7.2 seconds (except when exiting power save mode or immediately after power

on).

•Copying speed is 20 copies per minute at 600 dpi, This is ideal for business use and provides a big boost to

workplace productivity.

* Resolution indicates how much detail can be reproduced in a printed or scanned image, and is measured in dpi ("dots per

inch").

High-quality digital image

•High-quality copies are possible in normal mode at 300 dpi and in photo mode at 600 dpi.

•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 at 600 dpi.

(When the SPF/RSPF is being used, the zoom copy ratio range is 50% to 200%.)

•Continuous copying of up to 99 copies is possible. (Can be changed to a maximum of 999 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.

•Automatic two-sided copying can be performed.

•The optional Dual function board can be installed to enable use of Rotation copy and other convenient functions.

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.)

Color scanner function

•The accompanying scanner driver can be installed and the machine connected to a computer using a USB cable

to enable use as a scanner. (See the accompanying SOFTWARE SETUP GUIDE.)

Peripheral devices

•The SPF enables automatic feeding and copying of originals without the need to open the original cover and

replace each original.

•The RSPF automatically turns two-sided originals over to enable two-sided copying.

•The optional Dual function board can be installed to enable multi-function copying. In addition, the printer driver for

the Dual function board can be used together with a USB 2.0 connection to enable high-speed printing.

POWER ON AND OFF

The power switch is located on the left side of the machine.

POWER ON

Turn the power switch to the "ON"

position

It will take about 45

seconds for the machine

to warm up.

While the machine is

warming up, the POWER

SAVE indicator will blink.

(The POWER SAVE

indicator will go off when

the machine is ready to

copy.)

However, you can make desired settings and press

the [START] key ( ) during warm-up. Copying will

start after warm-up.

POWER OFF

Make sure that the machine is not in

operation and then turn the power switch

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:

•Is the START indicator lit? (Initial state)

•Is the POWER SAVE indicator lit? ("Preheat mode"

or "Auto power shut-off" mode) (p.00)

Power Save Modes

Preheat mode

When the machine enters the "Preheat mode", the POWER SAVE indicator will light up and other indicators will

remain on or off as before. In this condition, the fuser in the machine is maintained at a lower heat level, thereby

saving power. To cancel "Preheat mode", press any key on the operation panel. "Preheat mode" also turns off

automatically when a print job is received or when an original is placed for copying or scanning.

Auto power shut-off mode

If the "Auto power shut-off" mode is enabled, the machine will automatically turn off the power once a programmed

length of time has elapsed without any machine operation after the last copy of a run is made or the power is first

turned on. (Based the guidelines of the international Energy Star program.) To cancel "Auto power shut-off", press

the [START] key ( ). "Auto power shut-off" also turns off automatically when a print job is received or when

scanning is begun from a computer.

•"Auto clear" is initially set to return the copy settings to the initial settings when the [CLEAR ALL] key ( ) is

pressed, and after one minute elapses after a copy job is finished. When "Auto clear" operates, all previous

settings are cleared. The setting for "Auto clear" can be changed in the user programs. (p.00)

•The machine is initially set to automatically enter power save mode if not used for copying, printing, or scanning

for a preset period of time. This setting can be changed in the user programs. (p.00)

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.

The preheat activation time and the "Auto power shut-off time" can be changed using user programs. It is

suggested that you set times that are appropriate for your usage of the machine. (p.00)

Note

Initial settings

The machine assumes the initial settings when it is first turned on, when the [CLEAR ALL] key ( ) is pressed,

and approximately one minute after the last copy is made in any mode.

PAPER

For best results, use only SHARP recommended paper.

* 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" paper must be loaded in paper tray 1 or the bypass tray. (p.00) If loaded in paper tray 2 or in the 250-sheet

paper feed unit / 2 x 250-sheet paper feed unit, a misfeed may occur.

Special papers

Follow these guidelines when using special papers.

●

●●

●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.

●

●●

●Load 2- or 3-holed paper so that the side with

the holes faces away from the paper feed

intake.

●

●●

●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.

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE

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

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.

LOADING PAPER

Make sure that the machine is not copying or printing, and then follow these steps to load paper.

Loading the paper tray

1Lift and pull out the paper tray until it

stops.

2Push the pressure plate down until it

locks in place.

Push the center of the

pressure plate down until

it locks into place.

3Fan the paper.

If the paper is not fanned,

double-feeds or misfeeds

may occur.

4Load paper into the tray. Make sure

the edges go under the corner hooks.

5Push the paper tray firmly back into

the machine.

•Do not load paper higher than the line on

the tray (up to 250 sheets).

•Make sure that the paper fits under the tab

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.

print quality area.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Is the printed image skewed or

does it run off the paper?

Is the paper size loaded in the tray the same 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.

Is the orientation of document setting correct?

→Click the "Paper" tab in the printer driver setup screen, and verify

if the "Image Orientation" option is set to your requirements.

Paper properly loaded?

→Make sure the paper is properly loaded. 00

Did you correctly specify the margins for the application

in use?

→Check the layout of the document margins and the paper size

settings for the application you are using. Also check if the print

settings are specified correctly to suit the paper size.

Is the port setting correct?

→If another printer driver is already installed, it is possible that the

port setting is not correct. Open the printer driver and correctly

configure the port setting for the port that is actually being used.

Lines in tables are not aligned

correctly and gaps appear.

Are the printer driver settings appropriate for both the

paper and the print job?

→"Draft", "Normal" or "Photo" can be selected for the print quality in

the "Advanced" tab of the printer driver setup screen. When

"Photo" is selected, you can click the "Image Adjustment" button

and adjust the brightness and contrast in the dialog box that

appears. Adjust these settings appropriately for your print data

and try printing again.

Is your machine selected correctly in the current

application for the print job?

→When choosing "Print" from the "File" menu located in

applications, be sure you have selected "SHARP AR-XXXX"

(where XXXX is the model name of your machine) printer

displayed in the "Print" dialog box.

Has the printer driver been installed properly?

TROUBLESHOOTING

Poor scanning quality.

Is the underside of the document cover/SPF/RSPF dirty?

→Clean regularly. 00

Original smudged or blotchy?

→Use a clean original. 00

Have you specified a suitable resolution?

→Make sure that the resolution setting in the scanner driver is

appropriate for the original.

Are you scanning a large area (for example an entire 11" x

14") at high resolution?

→If you attempt to scan a large area at high resolution and there is

insufficient memory in the machine to hold the scanned data,

scanning will take place at a lower resolution and the scanner

driver will enhance the data to make up for the lower resolution.

However, the quality of the enhanced image will not be as high as

if scanning took place at the higher resolution. Use a lower

resolution setting, or scan a smaller area.

Have you specified a suitable value for the "B/W

Threshold" setting?

→If you are scanning with a TWAIN-compliant application and are

using "Mono 2 gradation (no Green)","Mono 2 gradation (no

Red)" or "Mono 2 gradation (no Blue)" mode, make sure that a

suitable value is specified for the "B/W Threshold" setting. A

larger threshold value makes your output darker, while a small

threshold value makes it lighter. To adjust the threshold

automatically, click the "Auto Threshold" button on the "Image"

tab of the "Custom Settings" screen.

Are the brightness and contrast settings suitable?

→If you are scanning with a TWAIN-compliant application and the

resulting image has unsuitable brightness or contrast (for

example it is too bright), activate the "Auto Brightness/Contrast

Adjustment" setting on the "Main" tab of the "Custom Settings"

screen. Click the "Brightness/Contrast" button to adjust the

brightness and the contrast while viewing the scanned output

image on the screen. If you are scanning with a WIA-compliant

application or the "Scanner and Camera Wizard", click "Adjust

the quality of the scanned picture" or the "Custom settings"

button, and adjust the brightness and contrast in the screen that

appears.

Have you placed the original straight?

→Place the original straight on the original table. 00

Is the original placed in the correct position?

→Place the original in the correct position. 00

Problem Cause and solution Page

TROUBLESHOOTING

Unable to Scan the Image.

If scanning is not possible, shut down your computer,

turn off the machine’s power switch, and unplug the

machine’s power cord. Next, start your computer, restore

power to the machine, and try scanning again. If scanning

is still not possible, check the following items.

Is your application TWAIN/WIA compliant?

→If your application is not TWAIN/WIA compliant, scanning will not

be possible. Make sure your application is TWAIN/WIA

compliant.

Have you selected the scanner driver of the machine in

your application?

→Make sure that the machine’s scanner driver is selected in your

TWAIN-compliant application.

Have you specified all scanning preferences

appropriately?

→Scanning a large area in full color at high resolution results in a

large amount of data and extended scanning times. The scanning

preferences should be set appropriately for type of original to be

scanned, i.e., Text, Text/Graphics, Photograph, Color, or Black &

White.

Is there enough computer memory?

→Your computer may not have enough available memory to hold

the document you want to scan. Lower the scan resolution.

To scan a 11" x 17" original in full color at 600 dpi, the Dual

function board and the 256 MB memory option are required.

Do you have Administrator rights?

→To use the machine to scan into Windows 2000/XP, you must log

on as an Administrator.

Notice page printed

If you find that a notice page has been printed at the end of a print job, the print data received from the computer has

not been printed as specified. Fix the problem as explained below and then try printing again.

What to do when a notice page is printed, 1

The above notice page is printed if you attempt to print

using the print driver for the Dual function board when

the Dual function board is not installed. Change to the

standard print driver and print again. For information

on changing printer drivers, see "Basic Printing" in the

online manual.

What to do when a notice page is printed, 2

The above notice page is printed when a print job

containing more data than can be held in the memory

of the dual function board is sent to the machine. To fix

the problem, disable the ROPM function. If you need to

use the ROPM function, set the print quality in the

printer driver to "Draft", or increase the amount of

memory on the Dual function board.

Removing the software

If you need to remove the software, follow these steps.

Click the "start" button, and then click

"Control Panel".

On Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000, click the

"Start" button, select "Settings", and then click

"Control Panel".

2Click "Add or Remove Programs".

On Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000, double-click

the "Add/Remove Programs" icon.

3Select the printer/scanner driver for

the machine and Button Manager from

the list, and remove the software.

For more information, refer to your operating

manual or to the help files for your operating

system.

The IMC memory is used to temporarily hold

print data when the ROPM function is used.

This memory is also used to temporarily hold

the original image during copying. The

proportion of IMC memory allocated to the

printer function can be changed in the user

programs of copy mode. See the user

program "Memory allocated to printer mode".

(p.00) It is also possible to expand memory by

adding on a commercially available memory

module. For more information on expansion

memory, consult your dealer.
