REPLACING THE TONER CARTRIDGES

When toner runs low, a message will appear to inform you that the toner cartridge must be replaced.

NOTE

To view the approximate amount of toner remaining, hold down the [COPY] key during printing or when the

machine is on standby. The percentage of toner remaining will appear in the display while you hold down the key.

When the percentage falls to "20-0%" , obtain a new toner cartridge and keep it ready for replacement.

Follow the steps below to replace the toner cartridge.

1 ^{Open the front cover.}

Shake

the

toner

cartridge horizontally.

Do not rotate it as shown

push it in as shown.

Do not rotate the

cartridge.

2 ^{Remove the toner cartridge gently.}

Push the cartridge in until it locks securely

in place.

Hold the toner cartridge

with both hands as

shown in the illustration,

and pull it out of the

machine.

Remove the new toner cartridge from the

box and shake it five or six times

horizontally.

STORAGE OF SUPPLIES

Standard supplies for this product that can replaced by the user include paper, toner cartridges, and staple cartridges

for the finisher.

For best copying results, be sure to use only Sharp Genuine Supplies which are designed,

engineered, and tested to maximize the life and performance of Sharp products. Look for

the Genuine Supplies label on the toner package.

GENUINE SUPPLIES

■ Proper storage

1. Store the supplies in a location that is:

● clean and dry,

● at a stable temperature,

● not exposed to direct sunlight.

2. Store paper in the wrapper and lying flat.

3. Paper stored in packages standing up or out of

the wrapper may curl or become damp, resulting

in paper misfeeds.

4. Store a new toner cartridge box horizontally. Do

not store it standing on end. If stored standing on

end, the toner may not distribute well even after

shaking the cartridge vigorously, and will remain

inside the cartridge without flowing out.

Supply and Consumables

The supply of spare parts for a repair of the appliance is guaranteed for at least 7 years following the termination

of production. Spare parts are those parts of the apparatus which may break down within the scope of the ordinary

use of the product - whereas those parts which normally exceed the life of the product are not to be considered

as spare parts. Consumables too, are available for 7 years following the termination of production.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Check the following troubleshooting list before requesting service as many problems can be fixed by the user. If you

are unable to solve the problem by checking the list, turn off the main power switch and the power switch, unplug the

power cord.

Problems related to general use of the machine are described below. For problems related to the copy function, see

page 6-3. For problems related to document filing, see page 7-31. For fax, printer, and network scanner/Internet fax

problems, see the manuals for those functions. For peripheral device problems, see the explanation of the device.

(Note)

If the message "CALL FOR SERVICE. CODE:**-**"

appears in the touch panel, turn off the main power switch

and the power switch, wait about 10 seconds, and then turn the main power switch and the power switch back on.

If the message still appears after turning the main power switch and the power switch off and on several times, it

is likely that a failure has occurred that requires service. In this event, stop using the machine, unplug the power

cord, and contact your Sharp dealer.

Note: Letters and numbers appear in "**-**". When you contact your Sharp dealer, please tell your dealer what

letters and numbers appear.

FINISHER AND SADDLE STITCH FINISHER

The finisher and the saddle stitch finisher include the offset function, which offsets each set of copies from the

preceding set for easy separation. Each set of sorted copies can also be stapled. The saddle stitch finisher can

automatically staple a set of copies at the centre line and fold the pages to create a pamphlet.

A punch module unit can be installed to add punch holes to copies, and an inserter can be installed to insert blank

pages at specified pages.

In the following explanations, the finisher and saddle stitch finisher are referred to simply as "finisher".

SHARP OSA

Sharp OSA (Open Systems Architecture) is an architecture that enables external applications to be directly

connected to a digital multifunction machine over a network.

When a digital multifunction machine that supports Sharp OSA is used, the operation panel controls and functions

of the machine such as scan send can be linked to an external application.

There are two types of external applications: "standard application" and "external account application". An "external

account application" is used for centralized account management of a multifunction machine on a network. A

"standard application" refers to all other applications.

APPLICATION COMMUNICATION

MODULE (MX-AMX2)

The application communication module is required to use a "standard application" on the machine.

When a previously registered standard application is selected in the Web pages of the machine, the machine

retrieves the operation screen from the registered URL. Control of the operation screen is performed by the standard

application, and Scan to FTP can be executed.

frame and then click [Standard Applications]. Configure settings for the standard application in the screen that

appears.

Selecting a standard application

There are two methods for selecting a standard application that has been registered in the machine's Web pages.

■ Selecting a standard application from the job status screen

The Sharp OSA icon will appear in the lower left-hand corner of the job status screen. Follow the steps below to

select a standard application.

Operation in OSA mode

When the application communication module is installed, it is possible to check the job log of OSA scan mode in the

job status screen. The procedure for displaying the job log is the same as for regular Scan to FTP.

To display the job log of OSA scan mode, touch the [SCAN] key once again while the job log of scan mode appears

in the job status screen. (When this is done, the name of the key will change to [OSA SCAN].) To return to the scan

screen from the OSA scan screen, touch the [OSA SCAN] key.

EXTERNAL ACCOUNT MODULE (MX-AMX3)

The external account module is required to use a "external account application" on the machine.

An external account application can be used in "external authentication mode" or "external count mode". When

external authentication mode is used, the login screen is retrieved from the application when the machine is started.

When a job ends, a job notification screen is sent to the application to enable counts to be kept for each authenticated

user.

When "external count mode" is used, the login screen is not displayed when the machine is started. Only a job result

notification is sent to the application. User authentication by the external account application cannot be used,

however, the external account application can be used in combination with the internal account function.

External account application setup

To register an external account application in the machine's Web pages, click [External Applications] in the

administrator menu frame and then click [External Accounting]. Configure settings for the external account

application in the screen that appears. To make the settings in the Web page take effect, restart the machine.

Operation in external account mode

The two modes for using an external account application operate as explained below.

■ External authentication mode

When the [ENABLE AUTHENTICATION BY EXTERNAL SERVER] checkbox is selected in "External account

setting" of "Sharp OSA settings" in the administrator settings, the machine enters external authentication mode.

When the machine is powered on in external authentication mode, the machine accesses the external account

application and displays the login screen. The login screen also appears when the [CALL] key is touched to run

a job in the job status complete screen. (The login screen does not appear if the user has already logged in by

the normal method.)

The [JOB STATUS] key can be pressed while the login screen appears to show the job status screen. To return

to the previous state, press the mode select key.

NOTES

● The user control function of the machine cannot be used in external authentication mode.

● The [SYSTEM SETTINGS] key can be pressed while the login screen appears to show the system settings

screen. To return to the initial state, touch the [EXIT] key.

If login fails

If the login screen fails to appear or the application does not operate correctly, the machine may also stop operating

correctly. In this event, it is recommended that you quit external account mode from the Web pages of the machine.

For more information, see [Help] in the Web pages.

If it is necessary to forcibly terminate external account mode using the operation panel of the machine, follow the

steps below.

Press the [SYSTEM SETTINGS] key and change "External account setting" in the administrator settings (see page

14 of the administrator settings guide). After changing the setting, restart the machine.

■ External count mode

When only the [ENABLE EXTERNAL ACCOUNT CONTROL] setting is enabled in "External account setting" of

"Sharp OSA settings" in the administrator settings, the machine enters external count mode.

Unlike external authentication mode, when the machine is started in "external count mode", the login screen of

the external account application is not displayed. Only the job result is sent to the external account application.

External count mode can be used together with the user control function of the machine. (External count mode

can also be used when the user control function is disabled.)

AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER

The automatic document feeding function automatically feeds originals into the machine, making continuous copying

possible. In addition, both sides of two-sided sheet originals can be simultaneously scanned. This function is

convenient when you have a large number of original pages to scan.

Acceptable originals

Up to 150 originals (80 g/m (20 lbs.)) of the same size, or an overall stack height of no more than 19.5 mm (49/64"),

can be loaded. Originals of mixed length can also be loaded together as long as they are the same width; however,

some special functions may not operate correctly.

■ Notes on use of the automatic document feeder

●Use originals within the specified size and weight ranges. Use of originals out of the specified range may cause

an original misfeed.

●Before loading originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips.

●If originals have damp spots from correction fluid, ink or glue from pasteups, be sure they are dried before they

are fed. If not, the interior of the document feeder or the document glass may be soiled.

●Do not use the following originals. These originals may cause incorrect original size detection, original

misfeeds, and smudges on copies.

●

Transparency film, tracing paper, carbon paper, thermal paper or originals printed with thermal transfer ink

ribbon should not be fed through the document feeder. Originals to be fed through the feeder should not be

damaged, crumpled or folded or have loosely pasted paper on them or cutouts in them. Originals with multiple

punched holes other than two-hole or three-hole punched paper may not feed correctly.

●When using originals with two or three holes, place them so that the

punched edge is at a position other than the feed slot.

an original has not been left on the

document glass, and then gently close the

document cover.

Open the document cover, place the

original face down on the document glass,

and then gently close the document cover.

NOTES

Adjust the original guides to the size of the

originals.

● After placing the original, be sure to close the

document cover. If left open, parts outside of the

original will be copied black, causing excessive

use of toner.

● Do not place any objects under the original size

detector, because they may damage it or the

original size may not be detected properly.

■ Automatic copy image rotation - rotation copying

If the orientation of the originals and copy paper are different, the original image will be automatically rotated 90°

and copied. (When an image is rotated, a message will be displayed.) If a function is selected that is not suitable

for rotation, such as enlarging the copy to greater than A4 (8-1/2" x 11") size or staple sorting with the saddle

stitch finisher, rotation will not be possible.

function scans the opened original in two-page units. (Two pages are scanned at each scan, reducing the number

of repetitions of the scanning operation by a half.)

Tandem copy

Two machines connected to the same network can be used to run a large copy job in parallel.

By dividing the job in half, approximately half the time is required to complete the job.

To use this function, two machines must be connected to your network as network printers. Even if more machines

are connected to the network, this function can only be used to have one other machine share a job.

Server machine and client machine

●In the following explanations, the machine on which

the copy job is initially set up and tandem copy

selected is called the server machine. The other

machine that is asked to share the job is called the

client machine.

●To use the tandem copy function, the tandem

settings must be configured in the administrator

settings. (See page 14 of the "Administrator settings

100 sets of

copies

50 sets of

copies

guide")

●When configuring the tandem settings in the server

machine, the IP address of the client machine must

be entered. For the port number, it is best to use the

initial setting (50001). Unless you experience

difficulty with this setting, do not change it. The

tandem settings should be configured by your

network administrator. If the server and client

machines will alternate server and client roles, the IP

address of the server machine must also be entered

in the client machine.The same port number can be

NOTES

● To perform tandem copying, the server machine

and client machine must meet certain conditions.

After the [START] key is pressed on the server

machine, the server machine verifies that the

conditions have been met. If the conditions have

not been met, tandem copying does not begin

server machine make all the copies, touch the

[OK] key. To cancel the job, touch the [CANCEL]

key.

• As an example, the following conditions must

be met when a staple finisher is installed on the

server machine and not on the client machine:

(1) If tandem copying is executed for a two-

sided copy job with the number of copies

set to 999 and "Non-staple" is selected,

tandem copying will take place.

(2) If tandem copying is executed for a two-

sided copy job with the number of copies

set to 999 and "Staple" is selected,

tandem copying will not take place

because the client machine does not have

a finisher.

● After the [START] key is pressed, if the client

machine cannot print because it is out of paper or

other reason, the server machine will print its half

of the job. The other half of the job will be stored in

the client machine and the job will be printed when

the client machine is able to print.

● If auditing mode is enabled on both the server and

client machines, the same account number must

be entered on both machines.

● If auditing mode is enabled on the client machine

but not on the server machine, tandem copying

cannot be performed.

Covers/inserts

A different type of paper can be inserted in positions corresponding to front and back covers of a copy job when the

automatic document feeding function is used. A different type of paper can also be automatically added as an insert

at specified pages.

As an example, tabbed paper can be added as inserts at the beginning of chapters or at other pages to create an

indexed document.

● Covers/inserts can be disabled in the administrator settings (page 11 of the administrator settings guide).

■ Preparations for using covers and inserts

● Load the cover/insert paper in the tray before using the cover/insert function.

● Use the same size of paper for the covers/inserts as for the copies. (For the procedures for loading paper, see

pages 2-2 to 2-17.)

● Before selecting the cover/insert function, place the originals in the document feeder, select one-sided or two-

sided copying, and select the number of copies and any other desired copy settings as explained on pages 4-

7 to 4-10. When these settings have been completed, perform the procedure to select covers/inserts on the

following page.

● The original must be scanned from the document feeder. The document glass cannot be used.

● Tabbed paper can be used for cover/ inserts, however, two-sided copying cannot be performed on the tabbed

paper. Tabbed paper can be fed from the bypass tray, tray 3, and the inserter. The other trays cannot be used.

● Up to 100 covers/inserts can be inserted. Two covers/inserts cannot be inserted between the same pages.

● Pamphlet copying cannot be used in combination with covers/inserts.

● When performing two-sided copying of two-sided originals, an insert cannot be added between the front and

back sides of an original page.
