When closing the covers, be 
sure to close the front cover 
securely and then close the side 
cover. If the covers are closed in 
the wrong order, the covers may 
be damaged.

Only insert the power cord into a properly grounded wall socket.
Do not use extension cords or power strips.

The power switch is located on the left side of the machine.

The ready indicator will light up and other 
indicators which show the initial settings of the 
display will also light up to indicate the ready 
condition. For the initial settings, see the 
"Initial settings" (below).

You can select copy settings and press the [START] key (

) during warm-up. 

Copying will start after warm-up.

The first time the power is turned on after shipment from the factory, a message will 
appear in the display asking you to select the language. Select the language with the 
[

] key (

) or [

] key (

) and then press the [OK] key.

The machine reverts to the initial settings when it is first turned on, when the [CLEAR 
ALL] key (

) is pressed,

 

or when no keys are pressed for the preset "AUTO 

CLEAR" time following the end of a copy job.

 

When the machine reverts to the initial 

settings, all settings and functions selected to that point are canceled. The "AUTO 
CLEAR" can be changed in the user programs. (p.64)

SP. FUNC

When in the copy 
mode

The scan head lamp remains on constantly when the machine is in the ready 
condition (when the ready indicator is illuminated).
The machine adjusts the scan head lamp periodically to maintain copying quality. At 
this time, the scan head moves automatically. This is normal and does not indicate 
machine trouble.

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 canceled.
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.

Check the following to make sure the machine is not in operation:
• The ready indicator is lit. (Initial state)
• The power save indicator is lit. (preheat mode or auto shut-off mode)

This function automatically switches the machine to a low power consumption state if 
the set duration of time elapses without the machine being used when the power is 
on. In this mode, the power save indicator lights up. Normal operation automatically 
resumes when a key on the operation panel is pressed, an original is placed, a print 
job is received.

This function automatically switches the machine to a state that consumes even less 
power than preheat mode if the set duration of time elapses without the machine being 
used when the power is on. The power save indicator lights up, the display shows a 
message indicating that the machine is in auto power shut-off mode. To resume normal 
operation, press the [START] key (

). Normal operation also resumes automatically 

when a print job is received or scanning is begun from a computer. While in auto power 
shut-off mode, no keys (except the [START] key (

)) can be used.

The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power 
consumption and thereby reduce the cost of operation. In addition, 
these modes conserve natural resources and help reduce 
environmental pollution. The two power save modes are preheat 
mode and auto power shut-off mode.

The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time can be 
changed with "PREHEAT MODE" and "AUTO SHUT-OFF TIME" in the 
user programs. It is suggested that you set times that are appropriate 
for your usage of the machine. (p.64)

The tray location indicator will blink when there is no paper in the selected paper 
tray, or when the selected paper tray is not installed or is improperly installed.

For best results, use only SHARP recommended paper.
