If you find that a notice page has been printed at the end of a print job, the print data received from the computer has 
not been printed as specified. Fix the problem as explained below and then try printing again.

The above notice page is printed when a print job 
containing more data than can be held in the memory 
of the dual function board memory is sent. If you 
printed using the printer driver, remove the checkmark 
from [ROPM] in the [Configuration] tab of the printer 
driver setup screen to disable the ROPM function. If 
you need to use the ROPM function, select a lower 
resolution setting in the printer driver or increase the 
amount of memory.

→ Make sure that the paper size setting matches the size of the paper 

loaded in the tray. If the [Fit to Page] setting is selected in Windows, 
make sure that the paper size selected in the "Fit To Paper Size" 
drop-down list is the same as the size of the paper loaded in the tray.

–

→ On a Windows environment, click the [Paper] tab in the printer driver 

setup screen and make sure that "Image Orientation" is set to the 
correct orientation. On a Macintosh, make sure that the correct 
orientation is selected in the application settings.

–

→ Make sure the paper is correctly loaded.

Operation manual 

(for general 

information and 

copier)

→ Check the paper size and margin settings in the application. Also 

make sure that the print settings are correct for the paper size.

Notice Page

****************************************************

The IMC memory full error had occurred,

a normal output was not able to be executed.

Please refer to the operation manual for

the solution method.

• The Notice Page can be set to not print 

out in 

 of the 

key operator programs.

• The dual function board memory is used 

to temporarily hold print data when the 
ROPM function is used. This memory is 
also used to temporarily store original 
image data during a copy job. The 
proportion of memory allocated to the 
printer function can be changed in the key 
operator programs. (See the "Key 
operator's guide".) The memory can be 
increased by adding the optional memory 
modules. For details, contact your SHARP 
dealer.

• A notice page such as "The incorrect 

driver is chosen, a normal output was not 
able to be executed....." will be printed if 
you attempt to print using the print driver 
for the dual function board. Install the 
standard print driver as explained in "1. 
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE (THAT 
ACCOMPANIES THE MACHINE)" in the 
"Software setup guide" and select the 
standard driver when printing.

There are several settings where the IP address must be entered or checked. 
To check the IP address of the machine, hold down the status button on the network expansion kit for at least 2 
seconds to print out a Printer Setting List.

To reset the network expansion kit, power on the machine while holding down the status button on the network 
expansion kit. 
Network scanner destination information and scanning settings will remain after the network expansion kit is 
reset, however, the network settings and network printer settings will revert to the factory default settings. 

*1 Print speed during printing of the second sheet and following sheets when using 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) plain paper and performing 

continuous one-sided printing of the same page; excluding use of offset output.

*2 300 dpi can only be selected when using the PCL6 or PCL5e printer driver.
