COPIER INSTALLATION GETTING STARTED Improper installation may damage the copier. Please note the following during initial installation and whenever the copier is moved. If the copier is moved from a cool place to a warm place, condensation may form inside the copier. Operation in this condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave the copier at room temperature for at least 2 hours before use.
CAUTIONS ON HANDLING GETTING STARTED Be careful in handling the copier as follows to maintain the performance of this copier. Do not drop the copier, subject it to shock or strike it against any object. Cautions on handling Store spare toner cartridges in a dark place without removing from the package before use. If they are exposed to direct sunlight, poor copies may result. Do not touch the photoconductive drum (green portion). Scratches or smudges on the drum will cause dirty copies.
LOADING COPY PAPER GETTING STARTED To save space, this copier has been designed with an adjustable front-loading tray, which is easily opened for paper loading. For best results, use only SHARP recommended paper. (See page 49.) The paper required ( ) indicator will light up when there is no copy paper in the selected paper feed station, or when the selected paper tray is not installed or is improperly installed.
LOADING COPY PAPER GETTING STARTED Loading copy paper Changing the copy paper size in the tray Left guide 1 Gently lift and pull out the paper tray until it stops. 2 Push the pressure plate down until it locks in place. 3 Squeeze the lock lever of the front guide and slide the front guide to match the width of the paper. 4 Move the left guide to the appropriate slot as marked on the tray. ● When using A5 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2") copy paper, load it into the uppermost paper tray.
LOADING COPY PAPER GETTING STARTED Loading copy paper 8 To set the selected paper size, press the PAPER SIZE ) key. ENTER ( ● The selected paper feed location indicator will blink and the corresponding paper size (which is currently set) indicator will light up steadily. All other indicators will go out. For paper size setting, ensure that the COPY mode has been selected. However, if copying, printing or facsimile printing is being performed, paper size setting cannot be made even in the COPY mode.
AUDITING ACCOUNTS If this copier has been programmed in the auditing mode, it will not function until an assigned 3-digit account number has been entered. See page 38 for setting the auditing mode. 2 ● As each digit is entered, the dashes in the copy quantity display will disappear. ● After the number is entered, the copy quantity display will change to 0. ● If an unassigned number is entered, “– – –” will appear again in the copy quantity display, indicating that the number was not accepted.
NORMAL COPYING Power on 1 Turn the power switch on. ● ● MAKING COPIES ● 2 Place the original face down on the original table. Align it with the original size scale. ● Normal copying Image loss (max. 4 mm (5/32")) can occur at the leading and trailing edges of the copies. Also image loss (max. 4 mm (5/32") in total) can occur along the other edges of the copies. 3 Close the platen cover. 4 Ensure that the copy paper size in the paper tray is the same size as the original.
NORMAL COPYING ● For photographs, select PHOTO ( ) and then adjust with the light ( ) and dark ( ) keys as desired. ● There are 5 exposure steps indicated by 3 indicator lights. (The indicators light up one or two at a time.) If exposure level 2 is selected, the two left-handmost indicators for that level will light up simultaneously. Also, if level 4 is selected, the two right-handmost indicators for that level will light up simultaneously. Set the number of copies using the numeric keys.
REDUCTION/ENLARGEMENT/ZOOM Reduction and enlargement ratios can be selected either automatically with the AUTO IMAGE ( ) key or manually with the PRESET RATIO selector ( , ) keys and/or the zoom ( , ) keys. The zoom function enables precise copy ratio selection from 50% to 200% in 1% increments. MAKING COPIES Automatic Reduction/enlargement/zoom 1 Place the original on the original table and close the platen cover.
