CAUTIONS  
Installation notes  
CAUTION  
Do not install the machine on an unstable or  
slanted surface. Install the machine on a surface  
that can withstand the weight of the machine.  
When the machine is installed, the adjusters (4)  
must be lowered to the floor to secure the  
machine (prevent it from moving).  
Risk of injury due to the machine falling or toppling.  
If peripheral devices are to be installed, do not  
install on an uneven floor, slanted surface, or  
otherwise unstable surface. Danger of slippage,  
falling, and toppling. Install the product on a flat,  
stable surface that can withstand the weight of the  
product. (Weight when various peripheral devices  
are installed: approx. 718 lbs. (326 kg))  
Rotate the adjusters in the locking direction until  
they are in firm contact with the floor.  
If you find it necessary to reposition the  
machine due to rearrangement of your office  
layout or other reason, retract the adjusters  
from the floor, turn off  
the power, and then  
move the machine.  
(After moving the  
machine, lower the  
adjusters again to secure  
Adjuster  
Do not install in a location with moisture or  
dust.  
Risk of fire and electrical shock.  
If dust enters the machine, dirty  
output and machine failure may  
result.  
Lock  
the machine.)  
Release  
Locations exposed to direct  
sunlight  
Plastic parts may  
become deformed  
and dirty output may  
result.  
Locations that are excessively hot, cold, humid,  
or dry (near heaters, humidifiers, air  
conditioners, etc.)  
Locations with ammonia gas  
Installing the machine next to a  
diazo copy machine may cause  
dirty output.  
The paper will become damp and condensation  
may form inside the machine, causing misfeeds and  
dirty output.  
Ambient environment (page 45)  
If the location has an ultrasonic humidifier, use pure  
water for humidifiers in the humidifier. If tap water is  
used, minerals and other impurities will be emitted,  
causing impurities to collect on the inside of the  
machine and create dirty output.

CAUTIONS  
Installation notes (continued)  
CAUTION  
Do not install the machine in a location with  
poor ventilation. Install so that exhaust from the  
machine does not directly contact people.  
Near a wall  
Be sure to allow the required space around the  
machine for servicing and proper ventilation. (The  
machine should be no closer than the distances  
indicated below from walls. The indicated distances  
are for the case when a saddle finisher and large  
capacity paper tray are not installed.)  
A small amount of ozone is produced within the  
printer during operation. The emission level is  
insufficient to cause any health hazard.  
The present recommended long term exposure limit  
for ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m3) calculated as an 8  
hr. time-weighted average concentration.  
11-13/16"  
(30cm)  
However, since the small amount that is emitted  
may have an objectionable odor, it is advisable to  
place the copier in a ventilated area.  
11-13/16"  
(30cm)  
17-23/32"  
(45cm)  
Locations subject to vibration.  
A small amount of ozone is created inside the  
machine during printing. The amount of ozone  
created is not sufficient to be harmful; however, an  
unpleasant odor may be noticed during large copy  
runs, and thus the machine should be installed in a  
room with a ventilation fan or windows that provide  
sufficient air circulation. (The odor may occasionally  
cause headaches.)  
Vibration may cause failure.  
* Install the machine so that people are not directly  
exposed to exhaust from the machine. If installed  
near a window, ensure that the machine is not  
exposed to direct sunlight.  
The machine includes a built-in hard drive. Do not subject the machine to shock or vibration. In particular, never  
move the machine while the power is on.  
• The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection.  
• Connect the machine to a power outlet which is not used for other electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is connected to the  
same outlet, the light may flicker.  
About consumables  
CAUTION  
Do not throw a toner cartridge into a fire.  
Store a toner cartridge out of the reach of  
children.  
Toner may fly and cause burns.

Handling precautions  
WARNING  
Do not place a container of water or other liquid,  
or a metal object that might fall inside, on the  
machine.  
If you notice smoke, a strange odor, or other  
abnormality, do not use the machine.  
If used in this condition, fire or  
electrical shock may result.  
Immediately switch off the main  
power and remove the power  
plug from the power outlet.  
Contact your dealer or nearest  
SHARP Service Department.  
If the liquid spills or the object  
falls into the machine, fire or  
electrical shock may result.  
Do not remove the machine casing.  
If a thunder storm begins, switch off the main  
power and remove the power plug from the  
outlet to prevent electrical shock and fire due to  
lightning.  
High-voltage parts inside the machine may cause  
electrical shock.  
Do not make any modifications to this machine.  
If a piece of metal or water enters the machine,  
switch off the main power and remove the  
power plug from the power outlet.  
Doing so may result in personal injury or damage to  
the machine.  
Contact your dealer or nearest SHARP Service  
Department. Using the machine in this condition  
may result in electrical shock or fire.  
Do not use a flammable spray to clean the  
machine.  
If gas from the spray comes in contact with hot  
electrical components or the fusing unit inside the  
machine, fire or electrical shock may result.  
CAUTION  
Do not look directly at the light source.  
The fusing unit and paper  
exit area are hot. When  
removing a misfeed, do not  
touch the fusing unit and  
paper exit area. Take care  
not to burn yourself.  
Doing so may damage your  
eyes.  
Fusing  
unit  
Paper  
exit area  
Do not block the ventilation ports on the  
machine. Do not install the machine in a  
location that will block the ventilation ports.  
When loading paper, removing a misfeed,  
performing maintenance, closing the front and  
side covers, and inserting and removing trays,  
take care that your fingers are not pinched.  
Blocking the ventilation ports will cause heat to build  
up in the machine, creating a risk of fire.  
The machine includes the document filing function, which stores document image data on the machine's hard drive. Stored  
documents can be called up and printed or transmitted as needed. If a hard drive failure occurs, it will no longer be possible to call  
up the stored document data. To prevent the loss of important documents in the unlikely event of a hard drive failure, keep the  
originals of important documents or store the original data elsewhere.  
With the exception of instances provided for by law, Sharp Corporation bears no responsibility for any damages or loss due to the  
loss of stored document data.

BEFORE INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE  
CONNECTING THE MACHINE  
CONNECTING TO A NETWORK  
To connect the machine to a network, connect the LAN cable to the machine's network connector. Use a shielded LAN  
cable.  
After connecting the machine to a network, be sure to configure the IP address and other network settings before  
installing the software. (The factory default setting for the IP address is to receive the IP address automatically when the  
machine is used in a DHCP environment.)  
Network settings can be configured using "Network Settings" in the system settings (administrator) on the machine.  
If the machine is used in a DHCP environment, the IP address of the machine may change. If this happens, printing  
will not be possible. This problem can be avoided by using a WINS server or by assigning a permanent IP address  
to the machine.  
This manual explains how to set up the software in a Windows network environment.  
To use the machine on an IPv6 network, the IPv6 setting must be enabled in "Network Settings" in the system  
settings (administrator).  
Checking the IP address of the machine  
You can check the IP address of the machine by printing out the "All Custom Setting List" in the system settings. Follow  
these steps to print out the "All Custom Setting List".  
Press the [SYSTEM SETTINGS] key, touch the [List Print (User)] key, and then touch the [Print] key of "All Custom  
Setting List".  
CONNECTING THE MACHINE WITH A USB CABLE (Windows)  
The machine can be connected to a computer using a USB cable if the computer is a Windows computer. (The USB  
interface on the machine cannot be used in a Macintosh environment.)  
The machine and computer should be connected while the printer driver is being installed. If a USB cable is connected  
before the printer driver is installed, the printer driver will not be installed correctly. For the procedure for connecting a  
USB cable, see "WHEN THE MACHINE WILL BE CONNECTED WITH A USB CABLE" (page 1-91 in the Operation  
Guide).

ENUINE SUPPLIES  
Storage of 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.  
Storing toner cartridges  
Store a new toner cartridge box horizontally with the top side up. Do not store a toner cartridge 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.  
Staple cartridge  
The finisher and saddle stitch finisher require the following staple cartridge:  
SF-SC11 (for finisher)  
Approx. 5000 per cartridge x 3 cartridges  
MX-SC10 (for finisher (3 trays))  
Approx. 5000 per cartridge x 3 cartridges  
AR-SC3 (for saddle stitch finisher only)  
Approx. 2000 per cartridge x 3 cartridges  
Supply of spare parts and consumables  
The supply of spare parts for repair of the machine is guaranteed for at least 7 years following the termination of  
production. Spare parts are those parts of the machine 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.
