    LOADING PAPER
    The paper required indicator (   ) will light up when there is no copy paper in the selected paper feed tray, or when 
    the selected paper tray is not installed or is improperly installed.
    PAPER
    For best results, use only SHARP recommended paper.
    *1A5 can be used in the upper paper tray but cannot be used in other trays (including trays in optional paper feeding unit).
    *2When making a large number of copies or prints using 90 g/m2 paper, remove the output from the paper output tray when 
    about 100 pages have been printed. The output may not stack correctly if more than 100 pages are allowed to accumulate.
    *
    3The number of sheets of the paper which can be set changes with the weight of a 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. Before using special paper, contact your authorised service representative.
    ●Before using other than SHARP recommended paper, make a test copy to see if the paper is suitable.

    BEFORE USING THE MACHINE
    LOADING PAPER
    Make sure that the machine is not copying or printing, and then follow these steps to load paper.
    Loading the paper tray
    1Gently lift and pull out the paper tray 
    until it stops.
    2Push the pressure plate down until it 
    locks in place.
    Push the centre of the 
    pressure plate down until 
    it locks into place.
    3Load paper into the tray.
     Open the package of 
    the paper and load it 
    without fanning the 
    paper.
     Make sure the stack of 
    paper is straight before 
    loading it.
    Make sure that the paper 
    fits under the tabs on the 
    right side of the tray.
    4Gently push the paper tray into the 
    machine.
     Do not load paper higher than the line on 
    the tray (up to 250 sheets).
     Do not add paper to the loaded paper. It 
    may cause multiple feed of paper.
     A5 can be used in the upper paper tray but 
    cannot be used in other trays (including 
    trays in optional paper feeding unit).Note
     If you loaded a different size of paper than 
    was loaded previously in the tray, go to 
    CHANGING A TRAYS PAPER SIZE 
    SETTING (p.12).
     When misfeed occurs, rotate the paper 180 
    degrees and reload it.
     Straighten curled paper before using it.Note

    Loading the bypass tray
    1Unfold the bypass tray.
    When feeding large 
    paper such as B4 and 
    A3, pull out the bypass 
    tray extension.
    2Set the paper guides to the copy 
    paper width.
    3Insert the paper (print face down) all 
    the way into the bypass tray.
    To prevent a misfeed, 
    verify once more that the 
    paper guides are 
    adjusted to the width of 
    the paper.
    Important points when inserting paper in the bypass tray
     Up to 100 sheets of standard copy paper can be set in the bypass tray.
     Be sure to place A6 or A5 size paper or envelopes horizontally as shown in the following diagram ( ).
     When loading envelopes, make sure that they are straight and flat and do not have loosely glued construction flaps 
    (not the closure flap).
     Special papers except SHARP recommended transparency film, labels, and envelopes must be fed one sheet at a 
    time through the bypass tray.
     When adding paper, first remove any paper remaining in the tray, combine it with the paper to be added and then 
    reload as a single stack. The paper to be added must be the same size and type as the paper already in the tray.
     Do not use paper that is smaller than the original. This may cause smudges or unclean images.
     Do not use paper that has already been printed on by a laser printer or plain paper fax machine. This may cause 
    smudges or unclean images. 
     If you loaded paper in the bypass tray, 
    press the [PAPER SELECT] key ( ) to 
    select the bypass tray. The bypass tray will 
    not be selected automatically.
     If you load thick paper in the bypass tray, 
    hold down the [TRAY SETTING] key 
    ( ) for more than 5 seconds, use the 
    [PAPER SELECT] key ( ) to select the 
    bypass tray, and press the [AUTO IMAGE] 
    key ( ). When AUTO IMAGE 
    indicator ( ) lights up, the paper type 
    is set to thick paper. The setting is cleared 
    when Auto clear works or the [CLEAR 
    ALL] key ( ) is pressed.Note

    CHANGING A TRAYS PAPER SIZE SETTING
    Follow these steps to change a trays paper size setting.
    1Hold down the [TRAY SETTING] key 
    ( ) for more than 5 seconds to set 
    the selected paper size.
    The currently selected 
    paper feed location 
    indicator will blink and the 
    corresponding paper size 
    (which is currently set) 
    indicator will light steadily. 
    All other indicators will go 
    out.
    2If the machine has two or more paper 
    trays, use the [PAPER SELECT] key 
    ( ) to select the paper tray for which 
    you wish to change the paper size 
    setting.
    Each time the [PAPER 
    SELECT] key ( ) is 
    pressed, a paper tray will 
    be indicated with a 
    blinking paper feed 
    location indicator.
     The paper size setting cannot be changed when the machine has stopped temporarily due to running out of 
    paper or a misfeed, or during interrupt copying. 
     During printing (even in copy mode), the paper size setting cannot be changed.
     A5 size paper can only be selected in upper paper tray.
     Do not load paper that is a different size than the paper size setting. Copying will not be possible.

    This chapter explains how to use the copy functions.
    NORMAL COPYING
    This section explains how to make a regular copy.
    If Auditing mode has been enabled (p.73), enter your 3-digit account number.
    Copying from the document glass
    1Open the document cover/RSPF, and 
    place the original.
    Place the original face 
    down on the document 
    glass.
    [How to place the original]
    Align the edge of the original with the original size 
    scale, to be centred with the centring mark ( ).
    2Close the document cover/RSPF.
    After placing the original, 
    be sure to close the 
    document cover/RSPF. If 
    left open, parts outside of 
    the original will be copied 
    black, causing excessive 
    use of toner.
    3Press the [ORIGINAL] key ( ) and 
    select the original size.
    When the original size is 
    selected, the tray with the 
    same size of paper is 
    automatically selected. 
    (When there are two or 
    more paper trays)
    ●Make sure that the PAPER SIZE indicator lights up. 
    If the indicator is not lit, no tray has the same size of 
    paper as the original. Load paper of the required size 
    in a tray, or select the bypass tray with the [PAPER 
    SELECT] key ( ) and copy from the bypass tray.
    ●The bypass tray must be manually selected.
    ●
    To copy on paper of a different size than the original, 
    select the paper with the [PAPER SELECT] key ( ).
    ●If the ORIGINAL SIZE indicator is blinking, rotate the 
    original so that it is in the same orientation as the 
    blinking ORIGINAL SIZE indicator.
    4Set the number of copies.
    5Press the [START] key ( ) to begin 
    copying.
    The copy is delivered to 
    the paper output tray. 
    An original up to A3 can be placed on the 
    document glass.
    Original size scalemark mark
    Original size scale
    Note
     The paper output tray can hold up to 250 
    sheets of paper.
     About one minute after copying ends, Auto 
    clear activates and restores the copy 
    settings to the initial settings. (p.8) The 
    setting for Auto clear time can be changed 
    in the system settings. (p.69)
     Press the [CLEAR] key ( ) to stop 
    copying in the middle of a run.

    COPY FUNCTIONS
    Copying from the RSPF
    1Make sure that an original has not 
    been left on the document glass. 
    Close the RSPF.
    2Adjust the original guides to the size 
    of the original(s).
    3Set the original(s) face up in the 
    document feeder tray.
    ●Insert the original into the document feeder tray as 
    far as it will go. When the original is set, the RSPF 
    indicator will light up.
    ●The ORIGINAL SIZE indicator corresponding to the 
    size of the original lights up.
    ●
    If the ORIGINAL SIZE indicator is blinking, rotate the 
    original so that it is in the same orientation as the 
    blinking ORIGINAL SIZE indicator.
    ●Make sure that the PAPER SIZE indicator is lit.
    If the indicator is not lit, no tray has the same size of 
    paper as the original. Load paper of the required 
    size in a tray, or select the bypass tray with the 
    [PAPER SELECT] key ( ) and copy from the 
    bypass tray.
    ●The bypass tray must be manually selected.
    ●To copy on paper of a different size than the 
    original, select the paper with the [PAPER 
    SELECT] key ( ).
    4Set the number of copies.
    5Press the [START] key ( ) to begin 
    copying.
    The copy is delivered to 
    the paper output tray. 
    The default output mode 
    for copying from the 
    RSPF is sort mode 
    (p.29).
    The default output mode 
    can be changed using 
    Sort auto select in the 
    system settings (p.71).
    Do not place originals of different sizes 
    together in the document feeder tray. This 
    may cause misfeeds.
    Note
     The paper output tray can hold up to 250 
    sheets of paper.
     About one minute after copying ends, Auto 
    clear activates and restores the copy 
    settings to the initial settings. (p.8) The 
    setting for Auto clear time can be changed 
    in the system settings. (p.69)
     Press the [CLEAR] key ( ) to stop 
    copying in the middle of a run.
     If you find it difficult to remove the original 
    from the document feeder tray, open the 
    feeding roller cover first and then remove 
    the original. If you remove the original 
    without opening the feeding roller cover, the 
    original may become dirty.

    Auto paper select mode (when there are two or more paper trays)
    When the AUTO PAPER SELECT indicator ( ) lights up, Auto paper select mode is enabled. This function 
    automatically selects the paper that is the same size as the original A5, B5, B5R, A4, A4R, B4, A3 paper. Auto 
    paper select mode can be disabled in the system settings. (p.70)
     If a zoom setting is selected after placing the original, the paper size that is appropriate for the zoom setting will 
    be automatically selected.
     Auto paper select mode is cancelled if the automatic ratio selection is enabled (p.19) or if a tray is selected 
    with the [PAPER SELECT] key ( ). Auto paper select resumes operation when the [CLEAR ALL] key ( ) is 
    pressed or when Auto clear time activates.
    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.
    Copying books or originals with folds or 
    creases
    Press down on the document cover/RSPF while 
    copying as shown. If the document cover/RSPF is 
    not completely closed, shadows may appear on the 
    copy or it may be fuzzy. Straighten originals with 
    folds or creases well before placing.
    Originals that can be used in the RSPF
    Originals that are A5 to A3 and 56 g/m2 to 90 g/m2 
    can be used. A maximum of 40 pages can be 
    placed at once.
    For originals that are B4 or larger (B4, A3), a 
    maximum of 30 pages can be placed at once.
    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.
    Stream feeding mode
    If Stream feeding mode is enabled in the system 
    settings (p.69), the RSPF indicator will blink for 
    about 5 seconds after all originals are fed. If a new 
    original is placed in the RSPF during this time, the 
    original will be automatically fed in and copying will 
    begin.
    AUTO
     Make sure that there are no paper clips or 
    staples on the original.
     Straighten curled originals before placing 
    them in the document feeder tray. Curled 
    original may cause misfeeds.
     When you set multiple sheets of thick 
    original, if the original is not fed, reduce 
    the number of the set originals.

    COPY FUNCTIONS
    MAKING A COPY DARKER OR LIGHTER
    Automatic exposure adjustment is initially enabled. This function automatically adjusts the copy image according to 
    the original being copied. If you wish to select the exposure level yourself, follow the steps below. (Select from two 
    original types and five exposure levels for each original type.) The exposure level used in automatic exposure 
    adjustment can also be changed. (ADJUSTING THE AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE LEVEL (p.56))
    Original types
    ●AUTO ......Automatic exposure adjustment is enabled and the exposure is automatically adjusted according to the 
    original being copied. The exposure is lowered for coloured areas and background shadows.
    ●TEXT .......The exposure is raised for light areas and lowered for dark backgrounds to make text easier to read.
    ●PHOTO ...Halftones in the photo are reproduced with greater clarity.
    1Press the [AUTO/TEXT/PHOTO] key 
    ( / / ) to select the original 
    type.
    To adjust the exposure of 
    a text original manually, 
    press until the TEXT 
    indicator ( ) lights. 
    To copy a photo, press 
    until the PHOTO 
    indicator ( ) lights.
    2Press the [Light] key ( ) or [Dark] 
    key ( ) to adjust the exposure.
    For a darker image, 
    press the [Dark] key 
    ( ). For a lighter 
    image, press the [Light] 
    key ( ).
    If exposure level 2 or 4 is 
    selected, the two 
    indicators will light 
    simultaneously.
    SELECTING THE TRAY
    Auto paper select mode (p.17) normally operates (unless it has been disabled), and thus when the original is placed 
    on the document glass and the original size is selected, or when the original is placed in the RSPF, the tray with the 
    same size of paper as the original is automatically selected. If you wish to use a tray other than the automatically 
    selected tray (for example you wish to enlarge or reduce the copy or use the bypass tray), press the [PAPER 
    SELECT] key ( ) to select the desired tray.
    Auto tray switching (when there are two or more paper trays)
    If the tray runs out of paper during copying and there is another tray with the same size of paper and the same 
    feeding orientation (horizontal or vertical), the other tray is automatically selected and copying continues. Auto tray 
    switching can be disabled in the system settings (p.70).
    To return to automatic adjustment, press until 
    the AUTO indicator ( ) lights.
