3. Connections
Handset
Connect the handset as shown and place it on the handset rest.
♦The ends of the handset lead are identical, so they will go into
either socket.
Make sure the
handset cord goes
into the unmarked
socket on the side
of the machine!
Use the handset to
make ordinary phone
calls, or to transmit
and receive
documents manually.

Parallel cable
Connect the Sharp Color MFP to your computer with a parallel cable.
♦If you do not have a parallel cable, you can purchase one from
your dealer or any computer store.
♦Make sure the cable is IEEE 1284-compliant. We recommend a
shielded cable no longer than 2 meters.
1 Make sure your computer is turned off
and the Sharp Color MFP is
unplugged.
2 Connect one end of the cable to the
port on the Sharp Color MFP. Snap
the clips on each side of the port onto
the cable connector to secure it.
3 Connect the other end of the cable to
the parallel port on the back of your
computer.
Note: The parallel port mode of your computer must be set to Nibble mode
or an equivalent mode such as Compatible, PS/2, Standard, Normal or Tra-
ditional mode. Note that ECP, EPP, Byte, and Bidirectional modes may not
allow correct operation. To check or change the parallel port mode, run
your computer’s setup (BIOS) program after powering on your computer.
(Refer to your computer documentation for more information).

Power lead
Plug the power lead into a 230-240 V, 50 Hz, earthed (3-prong) AC
outlet.
♦Caution: When disconnecting the fax, unplug the telephone line
cord before unplugging the power lead.
♦Caution: The mains outlet (socket outlet) should be installed near
the equipment and be easily accessable.
The machine does not
have a power on/off switch,
so the power is turned on
and off by simply plugging
or unplugging the power
lead.
Note: If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or
power surges, we recommend that you install surge protectors for the
power and telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased at
most telephone specialty stores.
Moving your fax and reconnecting
Should it be necessary to move your fax to a new location, first
disconnect the telephone line cord before disconnecting the power
lead. When reconnecting, it is necessary to connect the power lead
before connecting the telephone line cord.

and change to a color
cartridge only when you

the fax will be held in memory and printed out when a black
