ENERGY SAVE FUNCTIONS
This product has the following two energy save functions that conform to the Energy Star guidelines to help conserve
natural resources and reduce environmental pollution.

Preheat Mode (Low power mode)
Preheat mode automatically lowers the temperature of the fusing unit and thereby reduces power consumption if the
machine remains in the standby state for the interval of time set in "Preheat Mode Setting" in the system settings
(administrator).
This keeps the fusing unit at a lower temperature and reduces power consumption while the machine is on standby.
The machine automatically wakes up and returns to normal operation when a print job is received, a key is pressed on
the operation panel, or an original is placed.

Auto power shut-off mode (Sleep mode)
Auto power shut-off mode automatically shuts off power to the display and the fusing unit if the machine remains in the
standby state for the interval of time set in "Auto Power Shut-Off Timer" in the system settings (administrator). This
mode provides the lowest level of power consumption. Considerably more power is saved than in preheat mode,
however, the wakeup time is longer. This mode can be disabled in the system settings (administrator).
The machine automatically wakes up and resumes normal operation when a print job is received or when the blinking
[POWER SAVE] key ( ) is pressed.

[POWER SAVE] KEY
Press the [POWER SAVE] key ( ) to put the machine in auto power shut-off mode or wake it up from auto power
shut-off mode. The [POWER SAVE] key ( ) has an indicator that indicates whether or not the machine is in auto power
shut-off mode.
When the [POWER SAVE]
key ( ) indicator is off in the
standby state

The machine is ready to be used.
If the [POWER SAVE] key (
) is pressed when the indicator is off, the indicator will blink
and the machine will enter auto power shut-off mode after a brief interval.

When the [POWER SAVE]
key ( ) indicator is blinking

The machine is in auto power shut-off mode.
If the [POWER SAVE] key (
) is pressed when the indicator is blinking, the indicator will
turn off and the machine will return to the ready state after a brief interval.

USER AUTHENTICATION
User authentication restricts the use of the machine to users that have been registered. The functions that each user is
allowed to use can be specified, allowing the machine to be customized to meet the needs of your workplace.
When the administrator of the machine has enabled user authentication, each user must log in to use the machine.
There are different types of user authentication, and each type has a different login method.
For more information, see the explanations of the login methods.

LOADING PAPER IN THE BYPASS TRAY
The bypass tray can be used to print on plain paper, envelopes, label sheets, and other special media. Up to 100 sheets
of paper can be loaded (up to 40 sheets of heavy paper) for continuous printing similar to the other trays.

Open the bypass tray.

When loading paper larger than 8-1/2" x 11" or A4, be sure to
pull out the bypass tray extension. Pull the bypass tray
extension all the way out. If the bypass tray extension is not
pulled all the way out, the size of the loaded paper will not be
correctly displayed.

1

Do not place heavy objects on the bypass tray or press down on the tray. The bypass tray may be damaged, the
machine may topple, and injury may result.

Set the bypass tray guides to the width
of the paper.

2

Insert the paper along the bypass tray
guides all the way into the bypass tray
until it stops.
Load the paper with the print side face down.

3
• Do not force the paper in.
• If the bypass tray guides are set wider than the paper, move the bypass tray guides in until they correctly fit the
width of the paper. If the bypass guides are set too wide, the paper may skew or be creased.

Caution
If children are present, ensure that the children do not sit or play on a bypass tray that has been
pulled out. Sitting on a tray may damage the tray and cause the machine to topple, resulting in
injury.

1-33

Contents

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE

IMPORTANT POINTS WHEN USING THE BYPASS TRAY
• When using plain paper other than SHARP standard paper or special media other than SHARP-recommended
transparency film, or when printing on the reverse side of previously used paper, the paper must be loaded one sheet
at a time. Loading more than one sheet at a time will cause misfeeds.
• Before loading paper, straighten any curling in the paper. If curled paper is not straightened, a misfeed may occur.
• When adding paper, remove any paper remaining in the bypass tray, combine it with the paper to be added, and
reload as a single stack. If paper is added without removing the remaining paper, a misfeed may result.

Inserting paper
Place paper in the horizontal orientation.

Inserting transparency film
• Use SHARP-recommended transparency film. When using
transparency film, place the film on the bypass tray with the rounded
corner at the left front. This ensures that the print side faces in the
correct direction.
• Do not touch the print side of transparency film.
• When loading multiple sheets of transparency film in the bypass tray,
be sure to fan the sheets several times before loading.
• When printing on transparency film, be sure to remove each sheet as it
exits the machine. Allowing sheets to stack in the output tray may
result in curling.

1-34

Contents

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE

Loading envelopes
When inserting envelopes in the bypass tray, place them aligned to the left side in the orientation shown below.
Only the front side of envelopes can be printed on. Be sure to place the front side face down.
When loading envelopes, load one envelope at a time.

• Do not print on both sides of an envelope. This may result in misfeeds or poor print quality.
• Some operating environments may cause creasing, smudging, misfeeds, poor toner fusing, or machine failure.
Restrictions apply to some types of envelopes. For more information, consult a qualified service technician.

Important points when using envelopes
Envelopes that cannot be used
Do not use the following envelopes. Envelopes misfeed, and smudges may result.
• Envelopes with metal clasps
• Plastic hooks, or ribbon hooks
• Envelopes closed with string
• Envelopes with windows or backing
• Envelopes with an uneven front surface due to embossing
• Double-layer envelopes
• Envelopes with an adhesive for sealing
• Hand-made envelopes
• Envelopes with air inside
• Envelopes with creases, fold marks, torn or damaged envelopes
• Envelopes with an incorrectly aligned corner gluing position on the back cannot be used as creasing may result.

Can be used

Cannot be
used
Print quality on envelopes
• Print quality is not guaranteed in the area 13/32" (10 mm) around the edges of the envelope.
• Print quality is not guaranteed on parts of envelopes where there is a large step-like change of thickness, such as on
four-layer parts or parts less than three layers.
• Print quality is not guaranteed on envelopes having peel off flaps for sealing the envelopes.

SHARP OSA
Sharp OSA (Open Systems Architecture) is an architecture that enables external applications to be directly connected to
a digital multifunction machine over a network.
When a digital multifunction machine that supports Sharp OSA is used, the operation panel controls and functions of the
machine such as scan send can be linked to an external application.
There are two types of external applications: "standard application" and "external account application". An "external
account application" is used for centralized account management of a multifunction machine on a network. A "standard
application" refers to all other applications.

APPLICATION COMMUNICATION MODULE (MX-AMX2)
For model MX-B402SC, this is included as standard equipment.
When a previously registered standard application is selected in the Web pages of the machine, the machine retrieves
the operation screen from the registered URL. Control of the operation screen is performed by the standard application,
and Scan to FTP, Scan to Network Folder, and HTTPS transmission can be executed.

Standard application setup
To enable a general application in the Web pages of the machine, click [Application Settings] in the administrator menu
frame, and then [External Applications Settings] and [Standard Applications]. Configure settings for the standard
application in the screen that appears.

Selecting a standard application
The procedure for selecting a general application that has been enabled in the Web pages of the machine is explained

application.

The mode select key cannot be used during scanning.

EXTERNAL ACCOUNT MODULE (MX-AMX3)
For model MX-B402SC, this is included as standard equipment.
An external account application can be used in "external authentication mode" or "external count mode". When external
authentication mode is used, the login screen is retrieved from the application when the machine is started. When a job
ends, a job notification screen is sent to the application to enable counts to be kept for each authenticated user.
When "external count mode" is used, the login screen is not displayed when the machine is started. Only a job result
notification is sent to the application. User authentication by the external account application cannot be used, however,
the external account application can be used in combination with the internal account function.

External account application setup
To enable an external account application in the Web pages of the machine, click [Application Settings] in the
administrator menu frame, and then [External Applications Settings] and [External Accounting]. Configure settings for
the external account application in the screen that appears. The setting change will take effect after the machine is
restarted. To restart the machine, see "TURNING THE POWER ON AND OFF" (page 1-15).

Operation in external account mode
The two modes for using an external account application operate as explained below.

External authentication mode
When the [Enable Authentication by External Server] checkbox is selected in "External Account Setting" of "Sharp OSA
Settings" in the system settings (administrator), the machine enters external authentication mode. When the machine is
powered on in external authentication mode, the machine accesses the external account application and displays the
login screen. The login screen also appears when the [Call] key is touched to run a job in the job status complete screen.
(The login screen does not appear if the user has already logged in by the normal method.)
The [JOB STATUS] key can be pressed while the login screen appears to show the job status screen. To return to the
previous state, press the mode select key.
• The user control function of the machine cannot be used in external authentication mode.
However, "User Registration", "User Count Display", "User Count Reset", "User Information Print", and "The Number of
User Name Displayed Setting" can be used.
• The mode select key cannot be used while the login screen appears.

1-50

Contents

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE

If login fails
If the login screen fails to appear or the application does not operate correctly, the machine may also stop operating
correctly. In this event, it is recommended that you quit external account mode from the Web pages of the machine. For
more information, see [Help] in the Web pages.
If it is necessary to forcibly terminate external account mode using the operation panel of the machine, follow the steps
below.
Press the [SYSTEM SETTINGS] key and change "External Account Setting" in the system settings (administrator). The
setting change will take effect after the machine is restarted. To restart the machine, see "TURNING THE POWER ON
AND OFF" (page 1-15).

External count mode
When only the [External Account Control] setting is enabled in "External Account Setting" of "Sharp OSA Settings" in the
system settings (administrator), the machine enters external count mode.
Unlike external authentication mode, when the machine is started in "external count mode", the login screen of the
external account application is not displayed. Only the job result is sent to the external account application. External
count mode can be used together with the user control function of the machine. (External count mode can also be used
when the user control function is disabled.)

COPYING A LARGE NUMBER OF
ORIGINALS AT ONCE (Job Build)
When copying a very large number of originals, this function allows you to divide the originals into sets and feed each
set through the automatic document feeder one set at a time.
Use this function when you wish to copy all of the originals as a single job but the number of originals exceeds the
maximum number that can be inserted.
This function is convenient when you wish to sort copies of a large number of originals into multiple sets. Because all
originals are copied as a single job, you are saved the trouble of sorting the copies that would be required if the originals
were divided into separate copy jobs.
When scanning originals in sets, divide the sheets so that no set has more than the number of paper that can be loaded,
and then scan from the set with the first page. The settings that you select for the first set can be used for all remaining
sets.

• A "Last Number" smaller than the "First Number" cannot be set.
• The "Last Number" is initially set to "Auto", which means that page numbers are automatically printed through the
last page based on the "First Number" and "Printing Start from Page" settings.
• If the "Last Number" is set to a number smaller than the "Total Pages", page numbers are not printed on pages after
the page set as the "Last Number".
• "Printing Starts from Page" is used to set the page number from which you want to begin printing page numbers.
For example, if "3" is set and 1-sided copying is being performed, page numbers will be printed beginning from the
3rd copy sheet (the 3rd original page). If 2-sided copying is being performed, page numbers will be printed
beginning from the front side of the 2nd copy sheet (the 3rd original page).

• When Page Numbering is selected, copying in group mode is not possible. The mode automatically changes to sort mode.
• When the page number printing position is set to the right side or left side and pamphlet copy is used, the print position is
changed so that the page numbers always appear on the outer side of each opened page (the left and right sides of the
opened pages). If a stamp is set in the area where page numbering is set, the position of the stamp changes in the same
way as the page number.
If another stamp item is set in this changing position, the page numbers will alternate sides with this stamp item.
A stamp item that is in a position not affected by the changing page number position will be printed in its original set
position.
Example: When four pages are copied using pamphlet copy and the page number format is "1, 2, 3...", the result is as
follows:
In this example, the page number is set at the bottom of the page and the date is set at the top, and thus the
date does not move.

COPYING ORIGINALS OF DIFFERENT SIZES
(Mixed Size Original)
Originals that are 8-1/2" x 14" size and 8-1/2" x 11" size, 8-1/2" x 11" size and 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" size (A4 size and A5 size)
can be placed together in the automatic document feeder and copied.
When scanning the originals, the machine automatically detects the size of each original and uses paper appropriate for
that size.
When mixed size original is combined with auto ratio selection, the ratio is adjusted individually for each original according
to the selected paper size, enabling output on a uniform paper size.
For mixed originals, the only combination of sizes that can be used is 8-1/2" x 11" and 8-1/2" x 14", 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and
8-1/2" x 11" (A5 and A4).

STORING COPY OPERATIONS (Job Programs)
A job program is a group of copy settings stored together. When copy settings are stored in a job program, the settings
can be retrieved and used for a copy job by means of a simple operation.
For example, suppose 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) size CAD drawings are copied once a month for archive purposes using the
following settings:
(1) The 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) size CAD drawings
are reduced to 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"(A5) size.
(2) The drawings have fine lines that do not
show clearly, and thus a dark exposure
setting (level 4) is used.
(3) To reduce paper use by half, 2-sided
copying is used.

Considerable time is required to copy the drawings each
month because the above settings must be selected.
In addition, mistakes are occasionally made when selecting
the settings, so some copies must be redone.

The settings are stored in a job program, so they can be
selected by the touch of a key. This is simple and takes no time.
In addition, the settings are all stored so there are no chances
for mistakes, and thus no need to redo copies due to setting
mistakes.

• Up to 48 job programs can be stored. The job programs are retained even if an interruption occurs in the power supply.
• Job programs can also be stored in the Web pages. Click [Job program] and then [Copy] in the Web page menu to store a

PRINTER FUNCTION OF THE MACHINE
The machine is equipped standard with a printing function. To enable printing from your computer, a printer driver must
be installed.
See the table below to determine which printer driver to use in your environment.
Environment

Printer driver type

Windows

PCL6, PCL5e*
The machine supports the Hewlett-Packard PCL6 and PCL5e printer
control languages. It is recommended that you use the PCL6 printer
driver. If you have a problem printing from older software using the PCL6
printer driver, use the PCL5e printer driver.

Macintosh

PS
This printer driver supports the PostScript 3 page description language
developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated, and enables the machine to
be used as a PostScript 3 compatible printer.
(A PPD file is available if it is desired to use the Windows standard PS
printer driver.)

Remarks

Can be used in the
standard machine
configuration.

* The PCL5e printer driver is not available in some countries.

Installing the printer driver in a Windows environment
To install the printer driver and configure settings in a Windows environment, see "SETUP IN A WINDOWS
ENVIRONMENT" (page 1-80) in "1. BEFORE USING THE MACHINE".
The explanations in this manual of printing in a Windows environment generally use the screens of the PCL6 printer driver.
The printer driver screens may differ slightly depending on the printer driver that you are using.

Installing the printer driver in a Macintosh environment
To install the printer driver and configure settings in a Macintosh environment, see "SETUP IN A MACINTOSH
ENVIRONMENT" (page 1-107) in "1. BEFORE USING THE MACHINE".
In a Macinstosh environment, the machine can only be used as a printer if it is connected to your network.

SELECTING THE PAPER
This section explains how to configure the "Paper Selection" setting on the [Paper] tab of
the printer driver properties window.
Before printing, check the paper sizes, paper types, and paper remaining in the machine's
trays. To view the most recent tray information, click the [Tray Status] button.

• When [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Source"
The tray that has the size and type of paper selected in "Paper Size" and "Paper Type" on the [Paper] tab is
automatically selected.
• When other than [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Source"
The specified tray is used for printing regardless of the "Paper Size" setting.
When [Bypass Tray] is selected
The "Paper Type" must also be selected. Check the bypass tray and make sure that the desired type of paper is
loaded, and then select the appropriate "Paper Type" setting.
• Special media such as envelopes can also be placed in the bypass tray. For the procedure for loading paper and other
media in the bypass tray, see "LOADING PAPER IN THE BYPASS TRAY" (page 1-33) in "1. BEFORE USING THE
MACHINE".
• When "Enable Detected Paper Size in Bypass Tray" (disabled by factory default) or "Enable Selected Paper Type in
Bypass Tray" (enabled by factory default) is enabled in the system settings (administrator), printing will not take place if the
paper size or paper type specified in the printer driver is different from the paper size or paper type specified in the settings
of the bypass tray.

• When [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Type"
A tray with plain paper or recycled paper of the size specified in "Paper Size" is automatically selected. (The factory
default setting is plain paper only.)
• When other than [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Type"
A tray with the specified type of paper and the size specified in "Paper Size" is used for printing.
System Settings (Administrator): Exclude Bypass-Tray from Auto Paper Select
When [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Selection", specify whether or not the paper in the bypass tray will be excluded from
the paper that can be selected. This setting is disabled by factory default, and thus paper in the bypass tray is included in the
paper that can be automatically selected. If special media are frequently loaded in the bypass tray, it is recommended that
this setting be enabled.

PRINTER

PRINTING ON ENVELOPES
The bypass tray can be used to print on special media such as envelopes. The procedure for printing on an envelope
from the printer driver properties screen is described below.
For the types of paper that can be used in the bypass tray, see "IMPORTANT POINTS ABOUT PAPER" (page 1-27) in
"BEFORE USING THE MACHINE". For the procedure for loading paper in the bypass tray, see "LOADING PAPER IN
THE BYPASS TRAY" (page 1-33) in "1. BEFORE USING THE MACHINE".

SELECTING THE PAPER
This section explains the [Paper Feed] settings ("Paper Source" setting in [General] in Mac OS 9) in the print settings
window.
• When [Auto Select] is selected
A tray with plain paper or recycled paper (the factory default setting is plain paper only) of the size specified in "Paper
Size" in the page settings window is automatically selected.
• When a paper tray is selected
The specified tray is used for printing regardless of the "Paper Size" setting in the page settings window.
For the bypass tray, a paper type can also be specified. Make sure that the paper type setting for the bypass tray is
correct and that the set type of paper is actually loaded in the bypass tray, and then select the appropriate bypass tray
(paper type).
• Special media such as envelopes can also be placed in the bypass tray. For the procedure for loading paper and other
media in the bypass tray, see "LOADING PAPER IN THE BYPASS TRAY" (page 1-33) in "1. BEFORE USING THE
MACHINE".
• When "Enable Detected Paper Size in Bypass Tray" (disabled by factory default) or "Enable Selected Paper Type in
Bypass Tray" (enabled by factory default) is enabled in the system settings (administrator), printing will not take place if the
paper size or paper type specified in the printer driver is different from the paper size or paper type specified in the settings
of the bypass tray.

• When a paper type is selected
A tray with the specified type of paper and the size specified in "Paper Size" in the page settings window is used for
printing.
System Settings (Administrator): Exclude Bypass-Tray from Auto Paper Select
When [Auto Select] is used for printing, this setting determines whether or not the paper in the bypass tray will be excluded
from the paper that can be selected. This setting is disabled by factory default, and thus paper in the bypass tray is included
in the paper that can be automatically selected. If special media are frequently loaded in the bypass tray, it is recommended
that this setting be enabled.

A destination fax number is retrieved by simply touching the one-touch key of that destination. This is called "one-touch
dialing". It is also possible to store multiple fax numbers in a one-touch key, allowing you to retrieve all the numbers by
simply touching the key. This is called "group dialing". This dialing method is convenient when you wish to send a fax to
(or poll) multiple fax destinations.

BASIC TRANSMISSION METHODS
This section explains the basic procedures for sending a fax.

TRANSMISSION METHODS
The methods that can be used to send a fax from the machine are explained below. Select the method that best suits
your needs.

To fax a large number of sheet originals, use the automatic document feeder.
The originals will be scanned into memory and then transmitted (memory transmission).
When memory transmission is selected and multiple originals are placed in the automatic document feeder (and the line
is free), transmission will begin as soon as the first page is scanned and will take place while the remaining pages are
being scanned (Quick Online transmission).
If transmission cannot begin immediately because the line is in use, all pages will be scanned into memory and the
transmission will be reserved.
☞ USING THE AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER FOR TRANSMISSION (page 4-30)
When a fax transmission or reception is already in progress, the following procedure can be performed to reserve a
transmission job. To check reserved transmission jobs, display the job status screen.

• If memory becomes full while the first original page is being scanned, transmission will stop.
• In the following situations, the transmission will be automatically reserved (memory transmission)
- When the line is busy or a communication error occurs and automatic resending is enabled.
☞ WHEN THE LINE IS BUSY (page 4-28), WHEN A COMMUNICATION ERROR OCCURS (page 4-28)
- The machine is already using the line to send or receive a fax.
- Another fax transmission was reserved ahead of your fax.
- One of the following functions is being used for transmission:
Broadcast transmission, F-code transmission, timer transmission, Card Shot, Job Build, Business Card Scan
- The document glass is being used (except when the speaker is being used to dial).
• Up to 94 transmission jobs can be reserved.
• When the transmission is finished, the scanned original pages are cleared from memory. However, when the document
filing function is used, the transmitted fax is stored.
System Settings (Administrator): Quick On Line Sending
This is used to disable Quick Online transmission. In this case, fax transmissions will be sent by memory transmission
(reserved and then transmitted).

To fax thick originals or pages of a book, use the document glass.

If you wish to send a fax ahead of other previously reserved fax
transmissions, use direct transmission mode.
The original is transmitted directly to the receiving fax machine without being scanned into memory.
When direct transmission mode is used, transmission will begin as soon as the transmission in progress is completed
(ahead of any previously reserved transmissions).
To send a fax by direct transmission, touch the [Direct TX] key in the base screen.

WHEN THE LINE IS BUSY
If the line is busy when you send a fax, transmission will be re-attempted automatically after a preset interval. This
function only operates in memory transmission mode. In direct transmission mode or manual transmission mode, the
transmission will be canceled. Wait briefly and then try sending the fax again.
To cancel transmission...

System Settings (Administrator): Recall in Case of Line Busy
This is used to set the number of recall attempts and the interval between attempts when the connection cannot be
established because the line is busy. The factory default setting is 2 attempts at an interval of 3 minutes.

WHEN A COMMUNICATION ERROR OCCURS
If a communication error occurs or the other fax machine does not answer the call within a preset period of time,
transmission will be re-attempted automatically after a preset interval. This function only operates in memory
transmission mode.
To cancel transmission...

• Broadcast transmission to multiple destinations including fax destinations
Group keys and program keys that contain multiple fax destinations cannot be used. After one destination is specified,
specification of a destination by search number is no longer possible, and keys such as another one-touch key, the

STORING FAX OPERATIONS (Program)
A program is a group of transmission settings stored together. When transmission settings are stored in a program, the
settings can be retrieved and used for a fax job by means of a simple operation.
For example, suppose that the same 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) size documents are distributed to branch offices in various
regions once a month.
(1) The same documents are faxed to each branch office
(2) Smudges on the edges of the documents are erased before transmission
When a job program is not stored

When a job program is stored

Enter the fax numbers of the branch offices.

Retrieve the stored program.

Select erase settings.

Press the [START] key.
The originals are scanned and transmitted.

Press the [START] key.
The originals are scanned and transmitted.
Considerable time is required to send the documents each
month because the above settings must be selected.
In addition, mistakes may occasionally be made when
selecting the settings, so incorrect transmissions may occur.

When a program is stored, settings are selected with ease by
simply pressing the program key.
In addition, transmission takes place based on the stored
settings so there are no chances for mistakes.

• Programs are stored, edited, and deleted using "Address Control" in the system settings. See "Program" (page
7-23) in "7. SYSTEM SETTINGS".
• Programs can also be stored using the Web pages. Click [Job Programs] and then [Image Send] in the Web page menu.
• The settings stored in a program will be retained even after the program is used for transmission. The same settings can
be used repeatedly for transmission.
• The following settings can be stored in programs.
• Destinations:
One-touch keys, group keys, search number
• Image settings:
Original scan size, original orientation, duplex scanning, exposure, resolution
• Special modes:
Polling reception, Erase, Job Build, Slow Scan Mode, Business Card Scan
• F-code communication: A destination that includes a F-code can be stored to perform a F-code operation.
• Up to 48 programs can be stored.
• Up to 500 destinations can be stored in each program.

SENDING A FAX AT A SPECIFIED TIME
(Timer)
When this function is used, transmission takes place automatically at a specified time.
The timer transmission function makes it easy to perform reserved transmissions, broadcast transmissions and other
transmissions at night or other times when phone rates are low.
A timer setting can also be specified for polling reception to receive a fax when you are not present.

During the day, set up a
broadcast transmission to
take place at 20:00

At 20:00, the broadcast
transmission begins automatically
(Transmission to the first destination
takes place)

• When a timer transmission is set, keep the main power switch "on". Transmission will not take place if the main power is
turned off at the specified time.
• When performing a timer transmission, you must scan the original into memory when you set up the transmission. It is not
possible to leave the document in the auto document feeder or on the document glass and have it scanned at the reserved
time of transmission.
• Settings selected for a timer transmission (exposure, resolution, special modes, etc.) are automatically cleared after the
transmission is finished. (However, when the document filing function is used, the scanned original and settings are stored
on the built-in hard drive.)

PERFORMING F-CODE
COMMUNICATION
This section explains how to perform F-code communication operations. F-code communication is possible with
machines of other manufacturers that also support F-code communication.

F-CODE COMMUNICATION
Exchange of confidential documents (confidential communication), retrieval (polling) and distribution (polling memory) of
information, and distribution of information to multiple destinations (relay broadcast transmission) are possible with other
machines that support F-code communication.
A F-code* is specified in each communication, enabling a higher level of security.
* F-code is a communication function based on the G3 standard of the ITU-T.
The ITU-T is a United Nations organization that establishes communications standards. It is a department of the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU), which coordinates global telecommunications networks and services.

HOW F-CODES WORK
A fax that is transmitted with a F-code is received to the memory box in the receiving machine specified by the F-code
(sub-address and passcode). If the F-code sent by the transmitting machine does not match the F-code in the receiving
machine, reception will not take place.

CREATING MEMORY BOXES IN THE MACHINE FOR
F-CODE COMMUNICATION
Before the F-code communication function can be used, special memory boxes must be created using "F-Code Memory
Box" in the system settings.
A box name and F-code (sub-address and passcode) are programmed in each box, and a F-code communication
function is assigned to each box.
After you have created a memory box, inform the other party of the sub-address and passcode of the box.
Memory box for F-code
communication

• Box Name
• Sub Address
• Passcode
• End receiving machines (only in a
F-code relay broadcast memory box)
• Print PIN (only for F-code confidential

To use the following F-code communication functions, F-code memory boxes must be created in your machine:
F-code confidential reception, F-code polling memory, F-code relay broadcast transmission
To use the following F-code communication functions, F-code memory boxes must be created in the other machine:
F-code confidential transmission, F-code polling reception, F-code relay request transmission
System Settings: F-Code Memory Box (page 7-104)
This is used to configure memory boxes for F-code communication.
• Up to 100 memory boxes can be created.
• The memory box name cannot be longer than 18 characters, and the sub-address and passcode cannot be longer than 20
digits.

F-CODE DIALING
When performing a F-code operation, the F-code (sub-address and passcode) is appended to the fax number that is
dialed. Check the F-code (sub-address and passcode) programmed in the memory box in the other machine before you
perform a F-code transmission. It is convenient to store a F-code together with the fax number in a one-touch key or
group key.

CHECKING THE ACTIVITY LOG
(Image Sending Activity Report)
IMAGE SENDING ACTIVITY REPORT
You can have the machine print a log of recent image sending activity (date, name of other party, time required, result,
etc.). The Image Sending Activity Report contains useful information such as the types of errors that occurred.
The most recent 200 transactions are included in the report.
You can have the machine print the Image Sending Activity Report each time the number of transactions reaches 201,
or at a specified time (once a day only).

The contents of the Image Sending Activity Report are erased when the report is printed, and thus it cannot be reprinted.
System Settings (Administrator): Activity Report Print Select Setting
This is used to set the conditions for printing activity reports. The factory default setting is not to print.

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE AS A
NETWORK SCANNER
This section provides information that you should know before using the machine as a network scanner.

NETWORK SCANNER FUNCTION
The network scanner function of the machine can be used to scan an original, create an image file, and send the file
over a network to a computer, FTP server, or other destination. Scanning is also possible from your computer using a
TWAIN-compliant application.
The network scanner function provides the following scanning modes.

Scan modes
☞ SENDING AN IMAGE IN SCAN MODE (page 5-28)
Scan to E-mail
The scanned file is sent to an e-mail address.

Scan to FTP
The scanned file is sent to a specified directory of a FTP server.
When the file is sent, it is also possible to send an e-mail to a previously stored e-mail
address to inform the recipient of the location of the file. (This is called "Scan to FTP
(Hyperlink)".)

Scan to Desktop
The scanned file is sent to a specified folder on your computer.
To use Scan to Desktop, software must be installed from the "Sharpdesk/Network Scanner
Utilities" CD-ROM that accompanies the machine. For the system requirements of the
software, see the manual (PDF format) or the Readme file on the CD-ROM. For the
procedures for installing the software, see the "Sharpdesk Installation Guide".

Scan to Network Folder
The scanned file is sent to a shared folder on a Windows computer on the same network as
the machine.

5-3

Contents

SCANNER/INTERNET FAX

USB memory mode
☞ SENDING AN IMAGE IN USB MEMORY MODE (page 5-36)
USB Memory Scan
The scanned file is sent to and stored in a USB memory device connected to the machine.

Internet fax mode
To use the Internet fax function, the Internet fax expansion kit must be installed.
☞ SENDING A FAX IN INTERNET FAX MODE (page 5-42)

Internet fax transmission
The scanned file is sent as an Internet fax. Reception of Internet faxes is also possible.
The machine supports Direct SMTP, which lets you directly send Internet faxes within your
company without using a mail server.

PC scan mode
☞ SCANNING FROM A COMPUTER (PC Scan Mode) (page 5-119)
PC Scan
A TWAIN-compliant application on a computer connected to the same network as the
machine is used to scan a document or image.
To use PC Scan, the scanner driver must be installed from the "Software CD-ROM" that
accompanies the machine.
Operating systems that can be used are Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista/Server
2008/7.

Data entry mode
The application integration module is required to use the metadata transmission function.
☞ METADATA DELIVERY (page 5-124)

Metadata delivery
The application integration module can be combined with the network scanner function to append a metadata* file to a
scanned image file. (This is called metadata delivery.)
Information entered using the touch panel or automatically generated by the machine can be sent to a directory on a
FTP server or an application on a computer as a metadata file in XML format.
* Metadata is information about a file, how it is to be processed, and its relation to other objects.

The main power is "on" when the main power indicator on the right side of the operation panel is lit.
If the main power indicator is not lit, the main power is "off". Switch the main power switch to the "on" position and press
the [POWER] key ( ) on the operation panel.
If the Internet fax function will be used, and in particular if reception or timer transmission will take place at night, always
keep the main power switch in the "on" position.
When the [POWER SAVE] key (
) indicator light is blinking, the machine is in auto power shut-off mode. If the [POWER
SAVE] key (
) is pressed when the indicator is blinking, the indicator will turn off and the machine will return to the ready
state after a brief interval.

CHECKING THE DATE AND TIME
Verify that the correct date and time are set in the machine.
The date and time are set in the system settings of the machine. When the [SYSTEM SETTINGS] key is pressed, the
system settings menu screen appears on the touch panel. Select [Default Settings], [Clock], and [Clock Adjust], and set
the year, month, day, hour, and minute.
If "Disabling of Clock Adjustment" has been enabled in the system settings (administrator), the date and time cannot be set.

STORING SENDER INFORMATION
Be sure to configure this information, as it is required for communication.
Before using Scan to E-mail
Store a default sender name in "Sender Name" and a reply e-mail address in "Reply E-mail Address". These will be
used when a sender is not selected.
System Settings (Administrator): Default Sender Set
This is used to store the sender name and e-mail address that is used when a sender is not selected.

Before using Internet fax
Store a sender name in "Sender Name" and a sender Internet fax address in "Own Address".
System Settings (Administrator): Sender Data Registration
Use this setting to program the sender name and sender address.

BROADCAST TRANSMISSIONS THAT INCLUDE
INTERNET FAX DESTINATIONS
When a broadcast transmission includes both scan mode and Internet Fax mode destinations, the Internet Fax mode
settings (original orientation and other various settings) are given priority. When performing this type of broadcast
transmission, note the information below.
The orientation of Internet fax mode is given priority. When "Rotation Sending Setting"
is enabled in the system settings (administrator), the image is rotated 90 degrees. For
this reason, in some cases the image may not be displayed in the correct orientation.

Original placement orientation

Send size

When the file format is set to [TIFF-S] in Internet fax mode, transmission is only
possible in 8-1/2" x 11" (A4 in landscape orientation) size.

Exposure

The Internet fax settings are given priority.
When the file format is set to [TIFF-S] in Internet fax mode and a high resolution
setting is selected in scan mode, the resolution will be changed to [200X200dpi].

Resolution

The compression mode will be changed to the compression mode set in
"Compression Mode at Broadcasting" in the system settings (administrator).

File compression mode
Color scanning

Scanning will take place in Mono2 regardless of the color mode setting.
If a broadcast transmission is performed that includes destinations for which an
attachment size limit has been set using "Maximum Size of E-mail Attachments
(E-mail)" or "Maximum Size of Data Attachments (FTP/Desktop/Network Folder)" in
the system settings (administrator), the limit will also apply to destinations for which a
limit is not set. (The limitation setting of Scan to E-mail or Internet fax is given priority.)

Resending to unsuccessful broadcast transmission destinations
The results of a completed broadcast transmission can be checked in the job status screen. If transmission to any of the
addresses failed, resend the image to those addresses.

How to select the resolution
For normal text originals, 200X200dpi (200X100dpi in Internet fax mode) produces an image that is sufficiently legible.
For photos and illustrations, a high resolution setting (600X600dpi, etc.) will produce a sharp image. However, a high
resolution setting will result in a large file, and if the file is too large, transmission may not be possible. In this event,
reduce the number of pages scanned or take other measures to decrease the file size.

INTERNET FAX RECEPTION FUNCTIONS
This section explains the basic procedures for receiving Internet faxes.

RECEIVING AN INTERNET FAX
The Internet fax function periodically* connects to the mail server (POP3 server) and checks whether or not Internet
faxes have been received. When faxes have been received, the faxes are automatically retrieved and printed.
* The default setting is once every 5 minutes.
If faxes will be received at night, keep the main power switch in the "on" position.

Internet faxes are received automatically.
Beep

A beep sounds when reception ends.

1

The Internet faxes are printed
automatically.

2

If the machine is out of paper or there is no paper that matches the size of the received fax, a message will appear in the
touch panel. Follow the instructions in the message to load an appropriate size of paper.
• System Settings: Fax Data Receive/Forward (page 7-25)
When printing is not possible because the machine has run out of paper or toner, received Internet faxes can be forwarded
to and printed by another previously stored Internet fax machine.
• System Settings (Administrator): I-Fax Default Settings
These settings are used to select how received faxes are handled when the [POWER] key (
) is "off" (the main power switch
is "on"), the volume of the beep that sounds when reception ends, and whether or not received e-mail messages are printed.
• System Settings (Administrator): I-Fax Receive Settings
Settings related to Internet fax reception can be configured such as the interval for checking for received faxes, duplex
reception, auto reduction printing, and storing allow/reject reception addresses.
• System Settings (Administrator): Allow/Reject Mail or Domain Name Setting
This setting is used to allow/refuse reception from stored addresses and domains.
• System Settings (Administrator): Receiving Date & Time Print
Use this to select whether or not the date and time of reception is added when a received image is printed.

MANUALLY RECEIVING INTERNET FAXES

PRINTING A PASSWORD-PROTECTED FAX
(Hold Setting For Received Data Print)
"Hold Setting for Received Data Print" in the system settings (administrator) can be enabled to have faxes received to
memory without being printed. To print the faxes, a password must be entered. When this function is enabled, a
password entry screen appears in the touch panel when received Internet faxes are retrieved.
Received data is stored.
Enter password via the 10-key.

Cancel

When the previously programmed 4-digit password is entered with the numeric keys, printing begins.

the next page.

• The received faxes will be retained in memory regardless of whether they were received automatically or manually.
• If "Fax Data Receive/Forward" is enabled in the system settings so that received faxes are forwarded to another machine,
faxes retained in memory are also forwarded. At that time, the same password entry screen will appear as for printing.
Forwarding will not take place unless the password is entered.

SCANNING FROM A COMPUTER
(PC Scan Mode)
BASIC SCANNING PROCEDURE
You can install the scanner driver on your computer from the CD-ROM that accompanies the machine, and use a
TWAIN* compliant application to scan an image using your computer.
Scanning from your computer is most useful for scanning a single original such as a photo, particularly when you want to
adjust scan settings as you scan. By contrast, scanning at the machine is most useful for continuous scanning of
multiple originals.
* An interface standard used for scanners and other image input devices. When the scanner driver is installed on your
computer, you can use any TWAIN-compliant application to scan an image.
• Scanning in PC scan mode is only possible when the scanner driver has been installed from the "Software CD-ROM"
using the integrated installer. For the procedures for installing the scanner driver and configuring settings, see the Start
Guide.
• This function cannot be used when it has been disabled using "Disable Scan Function" in the system settings (administrator).
• The procedures for selecting the scanner driver and starting scanning vary depending on the TWAIN-compliant

METADATA DELIVERY
This section explains metadata delivery, which can be used when the application integration module kit is installed.

METADATA DELIVERY (Data Entry)
When the application integration module kit is installed and an image file is generated for a scan send transmission,
metadata (data indicating the attributes of the image file and how it is to be processed) can be generated based on
pre-stored information and transmitted as a separate file. The metadata file is created in XML format. By linking the
metadata with applications such as document management software, a workflow application, or an encryption server, a
sophisticated document solution environment can be built.

Using the application integration module kit, information on a generated image file can be entered at the touch panel and
transmitted along with the image as an XML file.

PREPARATIONS FOR METADATA
TRANSMISSION
SETTINGS REQUIRED IN THE WEB PAGES
All settings related to metadata are configured in the Web pages. (Administrator rights are required.)
To configure metadata settings, click [Application Settings] and then [Metadata Settings] in the Web page menu.
When configuring settings, be sure to enable metadata transmission.

Storing Metadata Sets
Store the items (the metadata set) that are written to the XML file that is generated during scanning. Up to 10 metadata
items can be configured in a metadata set. A stored metadata set can be selected at the time of transmission.
Addresses specified in "Address Type Allowing Metadata Entry" when a metadata set is stored can be selected as
transmission destinations at the time of transmission using one-touch keys, manual entry, and/or a global address book
search. (Addresses for which metadata entry is not allowed cannot be specified as transmission destinations.)

METADATA TRANSMISSION FOR SCAN TO DESKTOP
When Network Scanner Tool is used in its factory default configuration, a file will be generated with a new file name on
the computer. When Network Scanner Tool is used as a means of sending a metadata file to a third party software
application, this setting must be disabled to allow cross referencing between the image file and XML file by means of the
file name generated by the computer. (When setting the file name in [Send Settings], to ensure that a previously existing
file on a computer is not overwritten by a transmitted file of the same name, be sure to configure the file name so that
name duplication cannot occur; for example, by including a unique extension (the date, etc.) in the generated file name.
If the file name setting is left blank, the machine will automatically generate a file name that is unique.)
• It is recommended that you use Network Scanner Tool to receive metadata. For more information, see the Network
Scanner Tool User's Guide (PDF format) on the "Sharpdesk/Network Scanner Utilities" CD-ROM.
• For information on the license agreement and how to use the CD-ROM that accompanies the application integration
module, see the separate "Sharpdesk licence kit" manual.
• Using third party software applications
Various types of third party software applications exist. Some applications can start automatically from Network Scanner
Tool and some cannot. When the auto-run function of an application is enabled, Network Scanner Tool will start the
application with the ".exe" command using the file name as a parameter. Normally an application is started twice, once for
the image file and once for the XML file. For example, when Network Scanner Tool is set to start the application
"APP.EXE", the following commands are applied when the two files "IMG.TIF" and "IMG.XML" are received.
APP.EXE IMG.TIF
APP.EXE IMG.XML

DOCUMENT FILING
This chapter provides detailed explanations of the procedures for using the document filing function. The document filing
function allows you to save the document data of a copy or fax job, or the data of a print job, as a file on the machine's
hard drive. The file can be called up as needed.
This chapter assumes that you are already familiar with copy mode, scanner mode, and the other modes of the
machine.
For information on procedures of copy, scanner and other modes that remain the same when those modes are used in
conjunction with the document filing function, see the chapters for those modes.

DOCUMENT FILING
This section provides information that you should know before using the document filing function, including an overview
of document filing, the features and functions of document filing, and points to keep in mind when using document filing.

OVERVIEW
The document filing function allows you to save the document image of a copy or image send job, or the data of a print
job, as a file on the machine's hard drive.
The stored file can be retrieved and printed or transmitted as needed.

Hard drive

Document information used in any of the modes
is saved to the hard drive as a file.

A stored file can be printed. A stored file can also be
sent as a fax or sent to another computer over a
network. A stored file can also be kept for archive
purposes.

TYPES OF DOCUMENT FILING
There are three ways to save a file using document filing: "Quick File", "File", and "Scan to HDD".

Quick File

As a copy, scan send, or other job is performed, this function saves the document data to the hard
drive. Use this function when you want to quickly and easily store document data without specifying a
file name or other information.
The stored file can also be used by other people. Do not use this method to save files that you do not
want others to use, such as files containing sensitive or confidential information.

File

As a copy, scan send, or other job is performed, this function saves the document data to the hard
drive. Unlike Quick File, various types of information can be appended to the file when the file is saved
to enable efficient file management.
A password can also be established to prevent the file from being retrieved by others.

Scan to HDD

This function scans a document and stores it as a file. Like File, various types of information can be
appended to the file when it is stored.

DOCUMENT FILING

USES OF DOCUMENT FILING
Quickly using a file
Example: You prepared handouts consisting of numerous pages for a meeting, however, another handout is
needed for a newly added participant.
The handout was not saved using document filing

The handout was saved using document filing

Ratio and special mode settings must be
reselected.

The stored file is simply retrieved and
printed.

The numerous original pages must all be
rescanned.

Not likely to be completed in time for the meeting...

Printing is accomplished quickly and the handout is ready in
time for the meeting!

Copy settings must be reselected and the original must be
rescanned.
As indicated above, to obtain another set of output, the
settings must be selected all over again. If you don't remember
the settings, much effort may be expended to get the same
output result as the previous time.

By retrieving a job stored using document filing, there is no
need to reselect copy settings or rescan the original.
The job can be retrieved and printed using the same settings
quickly and easily.

As shown in the example, storing a job with the document filing function frees you of the need to rescan the original and
select settings, saving considerable time.

Convenient for managing frequently used documents
Example: Managing a large number of business forms
Not using document filing
It takes time to find the form you need.

Using document filing
The required form can be easily retrieved from the
document filing list,
and document management is much more efficient.

DOCUMENT FILING

BEFORE USING DOCUMENT FILING
This section provides information that you should know before using the document filing function.

Folders
Three types of folders are used to store files by document filing.

Folders on the hard drive

Quick File
Folder

Main Folder
Custom Folder

Quick File Folder
Documents scanned using the [Quick File] key are stored in this folder. A user name and file name are automatically
assigned to each job.
Main Folder
Documents scanned using the [File] key are stored in this folder.
When you store a job in the Main folder, you can specify a previously stored user name and assign a file name.
A password can also be set when storing a file ([Confidential] save).
Custom Folder
Folders with custom names can be created inside this folder.
When a document is scanned using the [File] key and a folder is selected, the document is stored in the specified folder.
Like the Main folder, a custom folder allows you to specify a previously stored user name and assign a file name when storing a job.
Passwords can be established for custom folders and for files saved in custom folders.
A maximum of 1000 custom folders can be created on the hard drive.

Items convenient to store
When storing a job using "File" or "Scan to HDD", it is convenient to store the items below. These settings are not
needed when storing a job using "Quick File".
User Name

This is necessary if you will be assigning a user name to stored files. User names are stored in "User List" in
the system settings (administrator). A user name is also used as a search condition when searching for a file.

Custom Folder

The Main folder is initially available as a location for storing files by "File" and "Scan to HDD". When
custom folders have been created using "Document Filing Control" in the system settings, a custom
folder can be specified as a location for storing files. A password can also be established for a custom
folder to restrict access to the folder.

My Folder

"My Folder" is specified using "User List" in the system settings (administrator). A previously created
custom folder can be selected as "My Folder", or a new folder created as "My Folder". When "My

Copying in sort mode uses the same memory area as the Quick File folder. For this reason, when too much data has

unneeded files.

Automatic deletion of files
You can have document filing data in specified folders automatically deleted at regular intervals by specifying the folders
and the time. Periodic deletion of files stored in the machine helps to prevent the leaking of sensitive information and
frees space on the hard drive.
Every day, every week, or every month can be selected for the deletion cycle, and a time can be set for each selection.
For example, you can set file deletion to take place every week on Friday at 6:00 PM.
Automatic file deletion settings are configured in "Automatic Deletion of File Settings" in the system settings
(administrator).
To check the settings, print the following list in the system settings.
To check information on the deletion cycle: Print the "Administrator Settings List" in the system settings (administrator).
To check information on the folders selected for file deletion: Print the "Document Filing Folder List" in the system settings.
When "Automatic Deletion of File Settings" is enabled in the system settings (administrator), all files in the specified folders
will be deleted when the set time arrives. Take care not to store files that you wish to keep in folders specified for file deletion.
• System Settings: Document Filing Control (page 7-29)
This shows a list of the folder names for document filing.
• System Settings (Administrator): Automatic Deletion of File Settings

DOCUMENT FILING

Files
When a file is saved using "File", the following information can be appended.

User Name: Name 1
File Name: Meeting handout
Password: 12345678

"Meeting minutes" folder

Saving a file with this information allows you to distinguish it from other files.
User name: Use this to specify the owner of the file. The user name must first be stored in "User List" in the system
settings.
File Name: A file name can be entered.
Folder:
Select which folder the file will be saved in.
Confidential: A password (5 to 8 digits) can be established to prevent others from using the file.
The above information cannot be specified when a file is saved with Quick File.
System Settings (Administrator): User List
This is used to store user names.

IMPORTANT POINTS WHEN USING DOCUMENT FILING
Note the following when using document filing:
• Files saved using "Quick File" are assigned the "Sharing" property. "Sharing" files can be retrieved and printed or
transmitted by anyone, and thus Quick File should not be used to save sensitive or confidential documents that you do
not wish others to use.
• When saving a file with "File", use the "Confidential" property. A password can be set for a "Confidential" file to
prevent the file from being used by other people. Take care to keep the password of a stored "Confidential" file secret.
• The property of a stored "Confidential" file can be changed to "Sharing" by "Property Change" when the file is used.
Do not store sensitive documents or documents that you do not want to be used by others.
• Except in cases provided for by law, SHARP Corporation bears no responsibility for any damages that result from the
leaking of sensitive information due to manipulation by a third party of any data saved using the Quick File function or
File function, or incorrect operation of the Quick File function or File function by the operator that saves the data.

The system settings are used to configure a variety of parameters to suit the aims and needs of your workplace. The
system settings are also used to display or print out the current settings and status of the machine. The system settings
allow you to make the machine easier to use.
The system settings consist of settings that are used by general users, and settings that can only be configured by an
administrator of the machine. These two groups of settings are distinguished in this manual as follows.
System Settings (General)

purchased. (For the factory default administrator password, see "TO THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE MACHINE" in the
Start Guide.) To change the password, see "Change Administrator Password" (page 7-96).
*To ensure a high level of security, change the password at regular intervals.
• The above groupings of "General" and "Administrator" are used as a convenient means of clarifying the functions of the
settings. These groupings do not appear in the touch panel.
• For fax settings, see "SYSTEM SETTINGS FOR FAX" (page 7-101).
• Web pages
The system settings can also be configured from the Web pages. To configure the system settings from the Web pages,

SYSTEM SETTINGS

User Control
User Control is used to configure settings for user authentication. Touch the [User Control] key to configure the settings.

User Authentication Setting
These settings enable or disable user authentication and specify the authentication method.
When user authentication is enabled, each user of the machine is registered. When a user logs in, settings for that user
are applied. This function allows greater control of security and cost management.
In addition, even if the user information is not stored in the machine, it is possible to log in by directly entering user
information stored on a LDAP server. In this case, the login user will be the factory-stored "User". For more information,
see "Factory-stored users" (page 7-53).
• For the procedure for storing users, see "User List" (page 7-53).
• For more information on login procedures when user authentication is enabled, see "USER AUTHENTICATION" (page
1-17) in "1. BEFORE USING THE MACHINE".

User Authentication
When [User Authentication] is enabled, the login screen
appears before an operation is begun in any mode
except the job status screen*. You must log in as one of
the stored users. (After logging in, you can move freely
through the modes.)
* The login screen appears when a document filing file is
used or when a broadcast transmission is reattempted
from the job status screen.

Authentication Method Setting
This selects the authentication method. When using user
authentication, be sure to configure this setting first. The
items configured for users stored after the user
authentication method is set vary depending on the
selected authentication method.
Authenticate a User by Login Name and Password
Standard authentication method using a login name and
password.
Authenticate a User by Login Name, Password and
E-mail Address
In addition to a login name and password, this
authentication method also requires the entry of an
e-mail address.

• The login screen will vary depending on the
authentication method that is selected. For more
information, see "USER AUTHENTICATION" (page
1-17) in "1. BEFORE USING THE MACHINE".
• When "Authenticate a User by User Number Only"
is selected for the authentication method, network
authentication cannot be used.

Device Account Mode Setting
A specific user can be stored as an auto login user.
When this setting is enabled, login can be performed
automatically.
This function eliminates the bother of logging in but still
allows the settings of the selected user (network
settings, favorite operations, etc.) to be applied.
You can also allow users other than the auto login user
to temporarily log in and work using their own authority
and settings. To allow other users to log in temporarily
when [Device Account Mode] is enabled, select [Allow
Login by Different User].
For example, you can require authentication for
one-sided copying only.
• If auto login fails for some reason when auto login is
enabled, or the login user does not have
administrator rights, all system settings or the
system settings (administrator) will lock. In this
event, the administrator should touch the [Admin
Password] key in the system settings screen and
log in again.

Authenticate a User by User Number Only
This can be used as a simple authentication method
when network authentication is not used.

• To log in as a user other than the auto login user
when [Allow Login by Different User] is enabled,
press the [LOGOUT] key (
) to cancel the auto
user login state. The user authentication screen will
appear to let you log in. After using the machine,
press the [LOGOUT] key (
) to log out.

Actions when the Limit of Pages
for Output Jobs

Automatically print stored jobs

This setting determines whether or not a job will be
completed if the page limit is reached while the job is in
progress.
The following selections are available.
• Job is Stopped when the Limit of Pages is Reached
• Job is Completed even when the Limit of Pages is
Reached

When retention is enabled in the printer driver and print
data has been spooled to the machine, you can have the
spooled print data automatically print out when the user
who enabled retention logs in.

The Number of User Name
Displayed Setting

Use this to set the default network authentication server.
When a user logs in from the Web page or sends a print
job to the machine using user information that is not
stored on the machine, the authentication server is not
known. This setting is used to specify one of the LDAP
servers stored on the machine as the authentication
server.

Default Network Authentication
Server Setting

The number of users that are displayed in the user
selection screen can be selected (6, 12, or 18 users).
This setting also applies to the user selection screen
of document filing and the sender selection screen.

When login is performed by network authentication
using user information that is not stored in the
machine, the login user will be the factory-stored
"User". For more information, see "Factory-stored
users" (page 7-53).

A Warning when Login Fails
This setting is used to display a warning and prohibit
login for five minutes if login fails three times in a row.
This prevents an unauthorized person from attempting to
guess a password. (The number of failed login attempts
is retained even if the power is turned off.)
Locking of the operation panel for 5 minutes can be
canceled by clicking [User Control] - [Default Settings]
- [Release the Lock on Machine Operation Panel] in
the Web page menu.

Disabling of Printing by Invalid
User
Printing by users whose information is not stored in the
machine, such as printing without entering valid user
information in the printer driver or printing of a file on an
FTP server from the Web pages, can be prohibited.
When a print job is executed by a user that is not
stored in the machine, the factory-stored "Other User"
is used as the login user. For more information, see
"Factory-stored users" (page 7-53).

Display Usage Status after Login
When user authentication is enabled, this setting
specifies whether or not the page counts of a user
appear when the user logs in.

User Information Print
The following lists can be printed.
• User List
• List of Number of Pages Used

Forward Received Data

When the machine cannot print because it is out of paper or out of toner, received
faxes can be forwarded to another previously stored fax machine.

• If some pages of a fax that is being forwarded were successfully printed, only those pages that were not printed will be
forwarded.
• A forwarded fax becomes a fax transmission job. If transmission does not take place because the transmission was
canceled or an error occurred, the fax will be held in memory until it can be printed.
• All faxes received are forwarded. Note, however, that faxes received to an F-code confidential memory box cannot be
forwarded.
• To store a forwarding fax number, see "Set the Telephone Number for Data Forwarding" (page 7-112) in the system
settings (administrator).
• Forwarding is not possible if no faxes were received or a forwarding fax number is not programmed.

SYSTEM SETTINGS

Print Style Setting

Fax Receive Settings
Settings for fax reception can be configured.

This setting determines the paper selection condition
when printing received faxes. Select one of the three
conditions below.

Number of Calls in Auto Reception

Print Actual Size Cut off Enabled
Each received image is printed at full size. If necessary,
the image is divided onto multiple sheets of paper.

This setting is used to select the number of rings on
which the machine automatically receives a call and
begins fax reception in auto reception mode. Any
number from 0 to 15 can be selected.

Auto Size Select
Each received image is printed at full size when
possible. When not possible, the image is automatically
reduced before printing.

If you select "0" for the number of rings, the machine
will immediately answer and begin fax reception
without ringing in auto reception mode.

Set the Telephone Number for Data
Forwarding
Duplex Reception Setting
This is used to have received faxes printed on both sides
of the paper.
When this setting is enabled and a fax consisting of 2 or
more pages is received (the pages must be the same
size), the pages are printed on both sides of the paper.

Auto Receive Reduce Setting
When a fax is received that includes the sender's name
and number, the received image is slightly larger than
the standard size. This setting is used to automatically
reduce the image to fit the standard size.

When a problem prevents the machine from printing a
received fax, the received fax can be forwarded to
another fax machine. This setting is used to program the
fax number of the destination fax machine. Only one
forwarding fax number can be programmed (maximum
of 64 digits).
To insert a pause between digits of the number, touch
the [-] key.
If you wish to specify an F-code confidential memory box
in the destination machine, touch the [/] key after
entering the fax number and enter the F-code
(sub-address and passcode).

• If Auto Receive Reduce is disabled, the edges of
the image outside the standard size will be cut off.
However, the image will be clearer because it will
be printed at the same size as the original.
• Standard sizes are sizes such as 8-1/2" x 11" and
8-1/2" x 5-1/2" (A4 and B5).

your machine, or only machines that have been stored in
your machine.
Add New
When the Polling Security Setting is enabled, use this
setting to store (or delete) the fax numbers of the
machines that are allowed to poll your machine. The

TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS
The chart below shows the procedure to follow in the event a problem occurs. Use it as a troubleshooting guide.

Check this chapter first
You may find a solution to your problem here.

Ask the administrator for help
Inform the machine's administrator of the nature of the problem and ask for
help.

Refer to other instruction manuals
You can sometimes find the solution to your problem in other chapters in this

Turning the power off and on may solve the problem in some cases, so try
doing so before attributing the problem to a malfunction.

Press the [POWER] key (
) to turn off the power and switch the main power switch to the "off" position. Wait at least 10
seconds and then switch the main power switch and the [POWER] key (
) back on in that order.
• When turning off the power, always wait for 20 seconds between turning off the [POWER] switch (
) and switching off the
main power switch.
• Before turning off the main power switch, check that the print mode DATA indicator and the image send mode LINE and
DATA indicators on the operation panel are not lit up or flashing.

Contact your dealer or nearest Sharp Service
Department.
If, having tried the above steps, your problem remains unsolved, contact the
dealer from whom you purchased the machine or your nearest Sharp Service
Department.

Check the settings of the printer driver.
When selecting print settings, you can set the print
mode to [Normal], [High Quality], or [Fine]. When you
need a very clear image, select [Fine]. (The print mode
cannot be used when using the PCL5e printer driver.)
Windows:
The resolution setting is selected in the [Advanced]
tab of the printer driver properties window.
Macintosh:
This is done in the [Advanced] menu of the [Printer
Features] menu of the print screen.

The image is too light
or too dark.

Does the image (particularly a photo)
need correction?
(Windows)

Check the settings of the printer driver.
Brightness and contrast can be corrected by performing
[Image Adjustment] on the [Advanced] tab of the printer
driver. These settings can be used for simple
corrections when you do not have image editing
software installed on your computer.

Text and lines are faint
and difficult to see.

Was color data printed? (Windows)

Check the settings of the printer driver.
When color text and lines are printed, they may become
faint and difficult to see. To have color text or lines
(areas) that are faint converted to black, select [Text To
Black] or [Vector To Black] on the [Advanced] tab of the
printer driver. (Raster data such as bitmap images
cannot be adjusted.)

Part of the image is

Problem
The image is upside
down.

Many nonsense
characters are printed.

Point to check

Solution

Are you using a type of paper (punch
paper, etc.) that can only be loaded in a
fixed orientation?

Rotate the image 180 degrees before printing.
When the image size and paper size are the same but the
orientations are different, the orientation of the image is
automatically rotated to match the paper. However, when
the paper can only be loaded in a fixed orientation, this
may result in the image being printed upside down.
The 180 degree rotation setting is selected as follows:
Windows:
On the [Main] tab of the printer driver.
Macintosh:
On the [Page Setup] menu. (Landscape orientation
only.)
(In Mac OS 9.0 to 9.2.2, in the [PostScript Options]
menu of the [Page Setup] menu.)

Is the correct binding position selected
for two-sided printing?

Be sure to set the appropriate binding position.
When two-sided printing is performed, every other page
is printed upside down when tablet binding is selected
for the binding position.
The binding position is selected as follows:
Windows:
On the [Main] tab of the printer driver.
Macintosh:
In the [Layout] menu of the print window. (In Mac OS
9.0 to 9.2.2, in [Output/Document Style].)

Is your computer or the machine in an
unstable state?

Cancel printing, restart your computer and the
machine, and try printing again.
If little free space remains in the memory or hard drive of
your computer, or many jobs have been spooled on the
machine and it has little free memory remaining, printed
text may turn into nonsense characters.
To cancel printing
Windows:
Double-click the printer icon that appears at the lower
right of the task bar and click "Cancel All Documents"
(or "Purge Print Documents") in the [Printer] menu.
Macintosh:
Double-click the name of the machine in the printer
list, select the job that you wish to delete, and delete
it. (In Mac OS 9.0 to 9.2.2, double-click the printer
icon on the desktop, select the print job that you wish
to delete, and delete it.)
At the machine:
Press the [JOB STATUS] key on the operation panel,
touch the [Print Job] tab to change the screen, touch
the key of the print job that you wish to delete, and
touch the [Stop/Delete] key. A message appears to
confirm the cancelation. Touch the [Yes] key.
If nonsense characters are still printed after restarting,
ask your administrator to lengthen the timeout setting of
"I/O Timeout" in the system settings (administrator).
➞ System Settings (Administrator) > "Printer Settings" >
"Interface Settings" > "I/O Timeout"
If nonsense characters are still printed after taking the above
measures, remove and then reinstall the printer driver.

Solution

Does the image file exceed the e-mail
attachment limit set in the system

Check with your administrator.
If your administrator has set a limit on the size of
transmitted files, a file that exceeds the limit cannot be
transmitted.

Did the image file exceed the file
attachment size limit of your mail
server?
(When Scan to E-mail is used.)

Reduce the size of the file attachment (reduce the
number of pages scanned). The size of the file can
also be reduced by scanning using a lower resolution
setting. Ask your mail server administrator what the file
size limit is for one e-mail transmission.

Has the folder on the destination
computer been set as a shared folder so
that files can be sent to it?
(When using Scan to Network Folder.)

If the destination folder is not configured as a
shared folder, select "share" in the folder
properties. If the folder was moved or otherwise
changed, the "share" setting may have been canceled.

Is "IPsec Settings" enabled on the
machine?
(When using Scan to Network Folder.)

When "IPsec Settings" is enabled in the system settings
(administrator), direct printing of a file in a shared folder
may not be possible in some computer environments.
For information about "IPsec settings", consult your
administrator.

Some functions may have been disabled in the system
settings (administrator). Check with your administrator.
When user authentication is enabled, the functions that
you can use may be restricted in your user settings.

Are you scanning one of the following
types of originals?
When Black & White is not selected:

When the color mode is set to "Auto", the machine
detects whether the original is black and white or color
when the [START] key is pressed; however, in the
cases at left, automatic detection may not give the
correct result. In this event, specify the color mode
manually.

Solution

Does the viewer program used by the
recipient support the format of the
received image data?

Use a software program that is capable of opening
the selected file type and compression mode.
The recipient may be able to open the file if you change
the file type and compression mode selected at the time
of transmission.

Does a message appear prompting you
to enter your password?

Ask the sender for the password, or have the image
sent again in a non-encrypted format.
The received file is an encrypted PDF file.

Transmission takes a
long time.

Is the resolution setting appropriate at
the time of scanning?

Select resolution and data compression settings
that are suited to the purpose of transmission.
To create image data that is balanced in terms of
resolution and file size, pay attention to the following
points:
Resolution settings
The default resolution setting is [200X200dpi] in
scanner and USB memory mode, and [200X100dpi] in
Internet fax mode. If the original does not contain a
halftone image such as a photo or illustration,
scanning at the default resolution will create a
practical and useful image. A higher resolution setting
or the "Half Tone" setting (in Internet fax mode)
should only be selected if the original contains a photo
and you wish to give priority to the quality of the photo
image. Exercise caution in this case as a larger file
will be created than when the default setting is used.

A destination is
pre-selected.

Is "Default Address Setting" enabled in
the system settings (administrator)?

If you wish to send to a destination other than the
default destination, touch the [Cancel] key.
If you are the administrator and wish to change or
disable the default destination, change the settings as
appropriate in "Default Address Setting".
➞ System Settings (Administrator) > "Image Send
Settings" > "Scan Settings" > "Default Address
Setting"

Cannot write to USB
memory.
(When using USB
Memory Scan.)

Is the connected USB device
recognized correctly?

Use "USB-Device Check" in the system settings to
check whether or not the device can be recognized.

PROBLEMS RELATED TO SCAN RESULTS
Problem

Point to check

Solution

The scanned image is
clipped.

Is the original scan size setting smaller
than the actual original size?

Set the scan size to the actual original size.
If you have intentionally set a smaller size than the
actual original size, note carefully the placement
position of the selected scan size when placing the
original. For example, when scanning an 8-1/2" x 11"
(A4) original using a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (B5) setting on the
document glass, align the original using the document
glass scale at the left center to fit the area you wish to
scan into the 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (B5) scanning area.
☞ 1. BEFORE USING THE MACHINE "PLACING
THE ORIGINAL ON THE DOCUMENT GLASS"
(page 1-41)

The quality of the
scanned image is
poor.

Is the original printed matter such as a
book or magazine?

Use the following method to reduce the occurrence
of vertical patterns (moiré)
When the original is printed matter, vertical patterns
(moiré) may occur. Touch the [Exposure] key in the base
screen to open the exposure setting screen. The [Moiré
Reduction] checkbox appears in this screen. This
checkbox can be selected
to reduce the moiré
effect. (only in scan mode and USB memory scan mode)
It may also be possible to reduce the moiré effect by
changing the resolution setting or shifting the original (or
changing its angle) slightly on the document glass.

When scanning a color or grayscale
original, is the color mode set to
"Mono2"?

Setting the color mode to "Mono2" replaces the colors in
the original with either black or white. This is suitable for
text-only originals; however, originals with illustrations
should be scanned with the color mode set to
[Grayscale], [Full Color], or [Auto] - [Grayscale].

Is a destination included that has
[TIFF-S] selected for the format?

If you wish to send an image scanned at high
resolution to scan mode destinations, send the
image in a separate transmission.
When a broadcast transmission is performed that
includes both scan mode destinations and Internet fax
destinations that have [TIFF-S] selected for the format,
the resolution will remain fixed at [200X200dpi] even if a
different resolution setting is selected.

The scanned image is
blank.

Is the original placed face up or face
down correctly?

Reload the thermal paper correctly and send the fax
again.
When using the document glass, the original must be
placed face down. When using the automatic document
feeder, the original must be placed face up.

The scanned image is
upside down or on its
side.

Are Internet fax addresses included in
the transmission?

Send the image to the scan mode destinations in a
separate transmission.
When both scan mode and Internet fax destinations are
included in a broadcast transmission, the original
transmission orientation of Internet fax takes
precedence, and thus the file may not appear in the
correct orientation when viewed on a computer.

Solution

The scanned image is

Are Internet fax or fax destinations
included?

If Internet fax or fax destinations are included, scanning
will only take place in black and white.

JPEG was selected for
the file type but the file
was created as a TIFF
file.

Is the color mode set to [Mono2]?

Change the color mode to [Full Color] and then
press the [START] key.
When [JPEG] is selected for the file type and the image
is scanned in Mono 2, the file will be created as a TIFF
file.

The image is too light
or too dark.
(When using PC
Scan.)

Is the threshold value suitable?

Check the "B/W Threshold" setting.
When scanning from the TWAIN driver with [Mono 2
gradation] selected from the [Color Mode] of the
"Custom Settings" window, check the "B/W Threshold"
setting. A large threshold value makes the image darker
and a small threshold value makes the image brighter.
To adjust the "B/W Threshold" automatically, click the
[Auto Threshold] button on the [Image] tab of the
"Custom Settings" window.

Are the brightness and contrast settings
suitable?

When the brightness and contrast settings are not
suitable (for example, the scanned image is too bright),
click the [Auto Brightness / Contrast Adjustment] button
on the [Color] tab of the "Custom Settings" window. You
can also click the [Brightness / Contrast] button to set
the brightness and contrast while viewing the scanned
