This product is a multi-function printer that can be used as a local printer and a network printer as well as a copier, a network scanner, and a facsimile by combining peripheral units. Various optional units for improving productivity such as duplex modules for two-sided printing, additional paper feed units for large capacity paper stock, and paper output units for sorting printed sheets are provided as peripheral units. 600 dpi high resolution printing High definition and high quality printing with 600 dpi resolution can be performed. Also high image quality equivalent to 1200 dpi can be output by using the soothing function. Monochrome high-speed printing High-speed printing of 35 pages/minute or 45 pages/minute can be performed for 8-1/2" x 11" or A4 size. PostScript compatible Installation of a PS3 expansion kit gives PostScript compatibility (PostScript level 3). ENERGY STAR As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency. Energy saving feature This product has the following two power save modes that conform the Energy Star guidelines to conserve natural resources and to help reduce environmental pollution. Preheat mode The machine will enter the preheat mode once the time set with a key operator program has elapsed without any operation. In this mode, the fuser is maintained at a lower heat level thereby saving power. Auto power shut-off mode The machine will enter the auto power shut-off mode once the time set with a key operator program has elapsed without any operation. In this mode, power to the display and the fuser is turned off and only the lowest power is consumed. In this mode, power can be saved more than the preheat mode but more time is needed to return to the operating state. This mode can be disabled using a key operator program. If this product is used as a printer, when print data is received in the preheat mode or the auto power shut-off mode, the mode will be automatically canceled and printing will start after the fuser temperature is restored to the normal operating level. If this product is used as a multi-function machine, the mode will be automatically canceled when print data or facsimile data is received or when any key operation on the operation panel or original setting operation for copying or facsimile transmission is performed.

1. When printing multiple sets, this printer always prints each set sequentially. (This printer does not print all copies of one page at a time.) 2. If you try to start printing through the parallel interface immediately after the printer is turned on (READY indicator not lit), printing may not be performed properly. Be sure to start printing through the parallel interface after ensuring that the printer becomes online. 3. To print onto A4R, B5R or 8-1/2" x 11"R paper, specify the tray in which the desired paper has been loaded. 4. If paper must be added when paper has run out in the middle of a print job, be sure to set the paper in the same orientation. If the orientation is changed in the middle of a print job, part of images may not be printed. Image rotation will not occur in the middle of a print job. 5. When setting A5 or 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (invoice) size paper in a paper tray or in the bypass tray, be sure to set the paper longer side into the feed slot. If not, part of images may not be printed. 6. When setting postcards, 10-1/2" x 7-1/4" (executive) paper or custom size paper in a paper tray or in the bypass tray, be sure to set the paper shorter side into the feed slot. If not, part of images may not be printed. 7. If the tray to be used is open when a print job is sent to the printer, part of images may not be printed. Be sure to start printing after ensuring that all the trays are closed. 8. If the setting "collate" exists in the print dialog box or application's print settings, do not select this setting. This setting is not necessary because this printer always performs collated printing. If this setting is selected, two-sided printing or stapling in printing of multiple sets may not be performed properly. 9. With the PPD driver for Windows NT 4.0, the printer resident fonts cannot be specified. Font downloading, therefore, is performed each time printing is executed. 10. Depending on print data, "VM error" or "Memory Full" error message may be printed on a page or improper printing (some images or characters are missing) may occur. This error occurs because of insufficient memory when printing a lot of data or complicated data. This error may be avoided by adding an additional memory to the printer. If this error occurs frequently, contact your dealer.

If necessary, dampen the cloth with water or a small amount of neutral detergent. After wiping them with it, wipe them with a clean, dry cloth. USER MAINTENANCE To use this product for a long time, keep the cabinet of the main unit and the like clean. NOTE When cleaning, do not use thinner, benzene, or similar volatile cleaning agents. Cleaning the scanner module If the document glass, cover or original scanning portion of the scanner module is dirty, scanned image may be soiled or black stripes may appear on image. Keep them always clean. If black stripes appear on images obtained by scanning sheet originals that have been fed from the feeder, wipe the scanning portion (long and narrow glass shown in the illustration).
