To select a preset ratio setting, press the [ZOOM] key and select the desired preset ratio. To select a ratio that is not preset, press the [ZOOM] key, select the preset ratio that is closest to the desired ratio, and then press the [ ] key ( ) ] key ( ) to increase or or [ decrease the ratio in increments of 1%.
CONNECTING THE POWER CORD If you use the machine in a country other than the country where Warning the machine was purchased, you will need to make sure that your local power supply is compatible with your model. If you plug the machine into an incompatible power supply, irreparable damage to the machine will result. 1 Ensure that the power switch of the unit is in the OFF position. Insert the attached power cord into the power cord socket at the rear of the unit.
PREPARATIONS Power off Make sure that the machine is not in operation and then turn the power switch to the "OFF" position. If the power switch is turned off while the machine is in operation, a misfeed may occur and the job that was in progress will be cancelled. In cases where the machine will not be used for a long time, turn off the power switch and remove the power cord from the outlet. 1 Check the following to make sure the machine is not in operation: • The ready indicator is lit.
2 Chapter 2 LOADING PAPER The tray location indicator will blink when there is no paper in the selected paper tray, or when the selected paper tray is not closed or is improperly closed. PAPER For best results, use only SHARP recommended paper.
LOADING PAPER Special papers Follow these guidelines when using special papers. ● Use SHARP recommended transparency film and label sheets. Using other than SHARP recommended paper may result in misfeeds or smudges on the output. If other than SHARP recommended media must be used, feed each sheet one at a time using the bypass tray (do not attempt continuous copying or printing). ● There are many varieties of special paper available on the market, and some cannot be used with this machine.
LOADING PAPER 3 Gently push the paper tray back into the machine. Note 16 • If you loaded a different size of paper than was loaded previously in the tray, go to "CHANGING A TRAY'S PAPER SIZE SETTING" (p.19) • When not using the machine for an extended period, remove all paper from the paper tray and store it in a dry place. If paper is left in the machine for an extended period, the paper will absorb moisture from the air, resulting in paper jams.
BYPASS FEED (including special paper) The bypass tray can be used to feed standard paper, transparency film, labels, envelopes, and other special purpose paper. Important points when inserting paper in the bypass tray Up to 50 sheets of standard copy paper can be inserted in the bypass tray. (Capacity will vary depending on the type of paper loaded.) Be sure to place envelopes horizontally as shown in the following diagram.
LOADING PAPER Loading paper in the bypass tray Note 1 • Paper must be fed narrow side first into the feed slot. • Special papers such as transparency film, labels, and envelopes must be fed one sheet at a time through the bypass tray. • When copying onto transparency film, remove each copy promptly. Do not let copies stack up. Open the bypass tray and extend the tray.
CHANGING A TRAY'S PAPER SIZE SETTING Follow these steps to change a tray's paper size setting. Note • The paper size setting cannot be changed when the machine has stopped temporarily due to running out of paper or a misfeed. • During printing (even in copy mode), the paper size setting cannot be changed. 1 Press the [MENU] key. Press the [ ] key ( ) or [ ] key ( ) until "PAPER SIZE" appears, and then press the [OK] key.
3 Chapter 3 MAKING COPIES This chapter explains basic copying functions. NORMAL COPYING Using the document glass Note 1 • The document glass can scan up to a A4 original. • When a copy is made, the edges will not be copied (image loss). For the image loss, see the "SPECIFICATIONS" (p.89). Open the document cover/RSPF, and place the original face down on the document glass. [How to place the original] Original scale Align the original with the original scale and the centring ( ) mark.
MAKING COPIES Removing the document cover To copy large originals like newspapers, remove the document cover. To remove the cover, lift straight up as shown. To replace the cover, do the reverse. The RSPF cannot be removed. Using the RSPF Note • Originals that are A5 to A4 and 56 g/m2 to 90 g/m2 can be used. A maximum of 30 pages can be placed at once. • Straighten curled originals before placing them in the document feeder tray. Curled originals may cause misfeeds. • Place originals horizontally.
MAKING COPIES Originals that cannot be used in the RSPF The following originals cannot be used. These may cause misfeeds or smudging and unclear images. • Transparencies, tracing paper, other transparent or translucent paper, and photographs. • Carbon paper, thermal paper. • Originals that are creased, folded, or torn. • Glued originals, cut-out originals. • Originals with binder holes. • Originals printed using an ink ribbon (thermal transfer printing), originals on thermal transfer paper.
MAKING COPIES Setting the number of copies Press the numeric keys to set the number of copies. OPY. A5 55 OK ZOOM The set number of copies appears in the display. A maximum of 99 copies can be set.

6 Chapter 6 PRINTER/SCANNER FUNCTIONS The machine includes a USB connector as standard equipment. The machine has the following features: • High-speed data transfer (when connected to a USB 2.0 connector) • ROPM* function * ROPM is an acronym for "Rip Once Print Many" processing. The ROPM function stores multiple pages of print data in memory before printing. When printing multiple copies, this eliminates the need for the computer to repeatedly transmit the print data.
USING THE PRINTER MODE The procedure for loading paper for printing is the same as for loading copy paper. See "LOADING PAPER" (p.14). Note • Print jobs received while the machine is copying will be stored in memory. When the copy job is finished, the print jobs will begin printing. • Printing is not possible when the front or side cover is opened for machine maintenance, or when a misfeed occurs or the machine runs out of paper or toner.
USING THE SCANNER MODE The procedure for placing the original is the same as for copying. See "NORMAL COPYING" (p.20). Note Scanner mode cannot be used at the following times: • A misfeed has occurred (paper misfeed or original misfeed in the RSPF). • The user programs are being used. • The tray paper size is being set. • The machine is being used in copy mode. • The front cover or side cover is open.
PRINTER/SCANNER FUNCTIONS Button Manager scan menu For information on Button Manager settings, see the Button Manager help file. The names in the Button Manager menu ("xxxx" in "SC1:xxxx", etc.) can be changed. See the online manual.

MISFEED REMOVAL When a misfeed occurs, the error indicator blinks, "CLEAR PAPER JAM" appears in the display, and the machine stops operating. If a misfeed occurs when using the RSPF, "RETURN X ORIGINAL(S) START TO RESUME" will appear in the display. ("X" indicates the number of pages to be returned.). This indicates the number of the originals that must be returned to the document feeder tray after a misfeed. Return the required number of originals.
TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE A: Misfeed in the paper feed area 1 Gently remove the misfed paper from the paper feed area as shown in the illustration. If the error indicator blinks and the misfed paper is not visible in the paper feed area, pull out the paper tray and remove the misfed paper. If the paper cannot be removed, proceed to "B: Misfeed in the fusing area". The fusing unit is hot. Do not touch the fusing unit when Warning removing misfed paper. Doing so may cause a burn or other injury.
TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE 2 Gently remove the misfed paper from under the fusing unit as shown in the illustration. If the paper cannot be removed, proceed to "C: Misfeed in the transport area". The fusing unit is hot. Do not touch the fusing unit when Warning removing misfed paper. Doing so may cause a burn or other injury. Caution 3 • Do not touch the surface of the drum (green portion) of the drum cartridge when removing the misfed paper. Doing so may cause smudges on copies.
TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE 4 Raise the fusing unit release lever, close the front cover and then close the side cover by pressing the round projections near the side cover open button. The error indicator will go out and the ready indicator will light up. When closing the covers, be sure to close the front cover securely and Caution then close the side cover.
