The output may not stack correctly if more than 100 pages are allowed to accumulate. *3 The 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. G 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). G 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. G Before using other than SHARP recommended paper, make a test copy to see if the paper is suitable. 13 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 1 Gently lift and pull out the paper tray until it stops. 5 Gently push the paper tray into the machine. 2 Push the pressure plate down until it locks in place. Push the centre of the pressure plate down until it locks into place. Note If you loaded a different size of paper than was loaded previously in the tray, go to "CHANGING A TRAY'S PAPER SIZE SETTING" (p.16). 3 Fan the paper. If the paper is not fanned, double-feeds or misfeeds may occur. 4 Load paper into the tray. Note · Do not load paper higher than the line on the tray (up to 250 sheets). · Make sure that the paper fits under the tab on the right side of the tray. · Make sure the stack of paper is straight before loading it. When adding paper, take the remaining paper out and combine it into a single stack with the new paper. 14 BEFORE USING THE MACHINE Loading the bypass tray 1 Unfold the bypass tray. 3 Insert 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. When feeding large paper such as B4 and A3 (8-1/2" x 14" and 11" x 17"), pull out the bypass tray extension. Note If you loaded paper in the bypass tray, press the [TRAY SELECT] key ( ) to select the bypass tray. The bypass tray will not be selected automatically. 1 2 Set the paper guides to the copy paper width. 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, A5 or 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" 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. 15 BEFORE USING THE MACHINE Envelopes Do not use the following envelopes, as misfeeds will occur. · Envelopes with metal tabs, clasps, strings, holes, or windows. · Envelopes with rough fibres, carbon paper, or glossy surfaces. · Envelopes with two or more flaps. · Envelopes with tape, film, or paper attached to the flap. · Envelopes with a fold in the flap. · Envelopes with glue on the flap to be moistened for sealing. · Envelopes with labels or stamps. · Envelopes that are slightly inflated with air. · Envelopes with glue protruding from the seal area. · Envelopes with part of the seal area peeled off. CHANGING A TRAY'S PAPER SIZE SETTING Follow these steps to change a tray's paper size setting. Note · 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 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2") 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. 1 Hold down the [PAPER SIZE ENTER] 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. 3 Use the [ORIGINAL SIZE ENTER] key (ENTER ) to select the paper size. The indicator of the selected paper size lights up.

Important points when using the printer mode · Make sure that the tray's paper size setting is the same as the tray's paper size setting in the printer driver. For example, if the tray's paper size setting is A4R (8-1/2" x 11"R), set "Setting Paper Size" to "A4-R" ("Letter-R"). For more information, see "CONFIGURING THE PRINTER DRIVER" (p.11) in the "Software Setup Guide". · If the dual function board is not installed, printing will not take place correctly if the tray paper size setting is A4R (8-1/2" x 11"R). To prevent incorrect printing when the tray paper size setting is A4R (8-1/2" x 11"R), specify the tray to be used and set the tray's paper size to A4R (8-1/2" x 11"R) in the printer driver. Left guide Front guide 1 · The front guide is a slide-type guide. Grasp the locking knob on the guide and slide the guide to the indicator line of the paper to be loaded. · The left guide is an insert-type guide. Remove it and then insert it at the indicator line of the paper to be loaded. · When using 11" x 17" sized paper store the left guide in the slot at the left front of the paper tray. 5 Press the [START] key ( ) and then the [PAPER SIZE ENTER] key ( ). To change the paper size setting of another tray, repeat steps 2 to 5 after pressing the [START] key ( ). Note Affix the paper size label for the paper size selected in step 3 to the label position on the right end of the tray. 17 2 1 Chapter 2 COPY FUNCTIONS This chapter explains basic copying functions such as normal copying, reduction or enlargement, and exposure adjustment.
