 Use document carrier sheet for smaller documents.

• With special sizes, only one sheet can be fed into the machine at a

time. Insert next page into feeder as current page is being scanned.

• Normal paper

Documents handwritten in pencil (No. 2 lead or softer), fountain
pen, ball-point pen, or felt-tipped pen can be transmitted.

Documents of normal contrast duplicated by a copying machine
can also be transmitted.

• Diazo copy (blue print)

• Diazo copy documents of a normal contrast may be transmitted.

• Carbon copy

A carbon copy may be transmitted if its contrast is normal.

• Documents written in yellow, greenish yellow, or light blue ink can-

not be transmitted.

• Ink, glue, and correcting fluid on documents must be dry before the

documents can be transmitted.

• All clips, staples and pins must be removed from documents before

transmission.

• Patched (taped) documents should be copied first on a copier and

then the copies used for transmission.

• All documents should be fanned before insertion into the feeder to

prevent possible double feeds.

Number of pages that can be placed into the feeder at anytime is as
follows:

Normal size: max. ADF 20 pages

Special size: single sheet only (manual feed)

NOTE:

• When you need to send or copy more pages than the feeder
limit, place additional pages in feeder when last page in feeder
is being scanned.
• Place additional pages carefully and gently in feeder. 
If force is used, double-feeding or a document jam may result.

The readable width and length of a document are slightly smaller than
the actual document size.

Note that characters or graphics outside the effective document scan-
ning range will not be read.

• Readable width

Take the following points into consideration when selecting a site for
this model.

ENVIRONMENT

• The machine must be installed on a level surface.

• Keep the machine away from air conditioners, heaters, direct sun-

light, and dust.

• Provide easy access to the front, back, and sides of the machine.

In particular, keep the area in front of the machine clear, or the orig-
inal document may jam as it comes out after scanning.

• The temperature should be between 10 - 30

°C.

• The humidity should be between 20% and 85% (without conden-

sation).

ELECTRICITY: AC 220 - 230 V, 50 Hz, earthed AC outlet (U.K.,
Eire:230 V, 50 Hz, earthed (3-prong) outlet).

Caution!

• Connection to a power source other than that specified will cause

damage to the equipment and is not covered under the warranty.

• If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power

surges, we recommend that you install a surge protector for the
power and telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased at
most telephone specialty stores.

If the machine is moved from a cold to a warm place...

Condensation may form on the reading glass if machine is moved from
a cold to a warm place, this will prevent proper scanning of documents
for transmission. Turn on the power and wait approximately 2 hours
before using machine.

TELEPHONE JACK

A standard telephone jack must be located near the machine. This is
the telephone jack commonly used in most homes and offices.

• Plugging the fax machine into a jack which is not jack may result in

damage to the machine or your telephone system. If you do not
know what kind of jack you have, or need to have one installed,
contact the telephone company.

1) Attach the document feeder tray.

Slide the output tray into the machine as shown. When it stops, lift
the end slightly and push in so that the tray locks in place.

Important: The output tray must be attached correctly or the
machine will not operate.

2) Releasing the scanner.

Before plugging in the power cord, pull the scanner release toward
you to release the scanner lock.
• Caution: Plugging in the power cord without releasing the scan-
ner lock may damage the machine.

If you need to move the machine:
• In the event that you need to move the machine to a new location,
disconnect the telephone line cord before unplugging the power
cord. After you have unplugged the power cord, push the scanner
release back in to lock the scanner.
• After moving, release the scanner lock first and then plug in the
power cord. Connect the telephone line last.

3) Connecting the power cord.

Plug the power cord into a 220 - 230 V, 50 Hz, earthed AC outlet
(U.K., Eire:230 V, 50 Hz, earthed (3-prong) outlet).
• Caution: Make sure the scanner has been released as explained
on the previous page before plugging in the power cord.
• The power outlet must be installed near the equipment and must
be easily accessible.

Note: The shape of the power plug varies by country.

• The machine does not have a power on/off switch. The power is
turned on and off by simply plugging in or unplugging the power
cord.
• Whenever you unplug the power cord, wait at least 5 seconds
before plugging it back in.
• If you area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power
surges, it is recommended that you install surge protectors for the
power and telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased
from your dealer or at most telephone specialty stores.

4) Connecting the telephone line cord.

Insert one end of the line cord into the socket on the back of the
machine marked TEL. LINE. Insert the other end into a wall tele-
phone socket.

Note: The shape of the line cord plug varies by country.
• Italy: Use the provided adapter to connect the line cord to the wall
socket.

Make sure that the line cord is inserted into the TEL LINE socket.
Do not insert it into the TEL. SET socket!

• Germany: In Germany, the machine is supplied with a N-coded
line cable, enabling you to use an extension (cordless) telephone
on the same line. If you don’t have the standard NFN-outlet of
TELEKOM, you can purchase an NFN-adapter at your retailer.

Important: The facsimile function of this machine is not designed
for use on a line which has call waiting, call forwarding, or certain
other special services offered by your telephone company. If you
attempt to use the facsimile function in conjunction with any of
these services, you may experience errors during transmission and
reception of facsimile messages.
The facsimile function of this machine is not compatible with digital
telephone systems.

The laser printer in the machine uses a toner cartridge and drum car-
tridge.

• The starter toner cartridge included with the machine can print

approximately 1,500 A4-size pages at 5% page coverage.

• When replacing the toner cartridge, use a SHARP AM-30DC toner

cartridge. One cartridge can print about 3,000 A4-size pages at 5%
coverage.

• The drum cartridge can print approximately 20,000 A4-size pages.

When replacing the drum cartridge, use a SHARP AM-90DR drum
cartridge.

Follow the steps below to install the toner cartridge and the drum car-
tridge.

Note: The quality of the toner cartridge is guaranteed for 18 months
after the date of manufacture indicated on the package. The quality of
the drum cartridge is guaranteed for 24 months after the date of manu-
facture indicated on the package.

1) Press the side cover release 

 , open the side cover

partment after the machine has been in operation.

2) Remove the new drum cartridge from its packaging.

3) Insert the drum cartridge into the print compartment, sliding it along

the guides.
• Do not touch or allow other objects to contact the drum (the green
cylinder). This may damage the drum. If fingerprints, dust, or other
contaminants get on the drum, wipe it gently with a clean cloth.
• Exposure to light for more than several minutes will damage the
drum. Be sure to insert the drum cartridge promptly into the
machine.
• If you find it necessary to leave the cartridge out of the machine
for move than several minutes, wrap the cartridge in black paper.

4) Remove the new toner cartridge from its packaging. Shake the car-

tridge side to side four or five times to distribute the toner evenly
