MAIN FEATURES

Multi-function printer allowing extension of functions based on the purpose

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.

START OPERATION FROMTHE OPERATION PANEL

This section describes the operation procedure required for starting printing from the operation panel of the printer and the outline of the function concerning the print functions that can be selected in the ???JOB CONTROL??? dialog box using the printer drivers of this product. For selection of the print function, select ???Properties??? on the printer driver screen, open the ???Main??? tab, and click ???Job control.??? The job retention function can be used only if this printer is equipped with a hard disk drive as a peripheral unit.

Print functions selectable in the "JOB CONTROL" dialog box and their operation

1 Normal print

(For ???Normal print???, print start operation from the operation panel of the printer is not needed.)

The print setting in this mode is the basic print operation. If no problem such as a paper misfeed and empty toner occurs in the printer, the print start operation is completed on the computer and printing will be executed on the printer.

In this mode, print data will be held in the hold job list even after printing is complete. Printing can be executed again from the operation panel of the printer if needed. Also the data can be deleted from the operation panel if it is not necessary.

3 Hold before print

This print mode can reduce the possibility of missing printout. If print start operation is made in this mode from the computer, print data will not be output immediately and will be stored in the printer as a hold job.

Print start operation can be made on the operation panel of the printer as needed. Also you can delete the data without executing printing. (See step 8 on page xx.)

This mode can prevent a high-volume misprint when a lot of sets must be printed. If print start operation is executed in this mode, only one set will be printed and the remaining sets will be held as a hold job.

After checking the finished printout including print position on paper and stapling position, you can start printing of the remaining sets from the operation panel of the printer. Also you can delete the data without executing printing. (See step 8 on page xx.)

5 Password

If a password is set in the printer driver setting, password entry is needed to start printing of a holdThis mode can increase the security of hold jobs.his mode can increase the security o hd jobs.

???Password in the Hold After Print mode:

Supplementary explanation for printing

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 4 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.

NOTES

???When using 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R paper, A5R paper or postcards, be sure to set them shorter edge into the feed slot as shown in the illustration.

???When using plain paper other than SHARP

recommended paper or special paper other than postcards and SHARP recommended 5 transparency film, be sure to feed it one sheet

at a time. If you set more than one sheet, a paper misfeed may occur.

???When adding paper, first remove remaining paper, combine it with the paper to be added, and then reload as a single stack. Adding paper directly may cause a paper misfeed.

???For transparency film, use SHARP recommended film. Set transparency film in the bypass tray with the label surface up. Printing onto the label surface may cause smudges on printouts.

???Do not print onto paper that has been printed by a facsimile for plain paper or by another printer. Doing so may cause smudges on printouts.

???When printing onto transparency film, be sure to remove it from the exit tray each time it is delivered. If the film is stacked in the exit tray, it may be curled.
