CAUTIONS
1. Do not touch the transfer belt. Scratches or smudges on the transfer belt will
cause dirty prints.
2. The fusing unit is extremely hot. Exercise care in this area.
3. Do not look directly at the light source. Doing so may damage your eyes.
4. When the machine is installed, the adjusters (4) must be lowered to the floor
to secure the machine (prevent it from moving).
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 the machine.)
5. Do not make any modifications to this machine. Doing so may result in
personal injury or damage to the machine.
6. The machine is heavy. To prevent injury when moving the machine, it is
recommended that it be moved by four or more persons.
7. Do not make copies of anything which is prohibited from copying by law. The
following items are normally prohibited from printing by national law. Other
items may be prohibited by local law.
●Money ●Stamps ●Bonds ●Stocks
●Bank drafts ●Checks ●Passports ●Driver's licenses
8. 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.
9. Do not throw toner, a toner container (toner cartridge), or a waste toner box into a fire. Toner may fly and cause
burns.
10. Store toner, toner containers (toner cartridges), and waste toner boxes out of the reach of children.
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.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Improper installation may damage this product. Please note the following during initial installation and whenever the
machine is moved.
1. The machine should be installed near an accessible
power outlet for easy connection.
2. Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power
outlet that meets the specified voltage and current
requirements. Also make certain the outlet is properly
grounded.
• For the power supply requirements, see the name
plate in the lower left corner of the left side of the
machine.
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.
3. Do not install the machine in areas that are:
• damp, humid, or very dusty
• exposed to direct sunlight
• poorly ventilated
• subject to extreme temperature or humidity
changes, e.g., near an air conditioner or heater.
4. Be sure to allow the required space around the
machine for servicing and proper ventilation.
5. 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.

A small amount of ozone is produced within the printer during operation. The emission level is insufficient to cause any health
hazard.
NOTE:
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.
However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable odor, it is advisable to place the copier in a ventilated
area.

SUPPLIES
Standard supplies for this product that can replaced by the user include paper, toner cartridges, and staple cartridges for
the finisher.
Be sure to use only SHARP-specified products for the toner cartridges, finisher staple cartridge, saddle stitch finisher
staple cartridge, and transparency film.
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. 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.
Staple cartridge
The finisher and saddle stitch finisher require the following staple cartridge:
MX-SCX1 (for finisher and saddle stitch finisher)
Approx. 5000 per cartridge x 3 cartridges
AR-SC2 (for finisher (large stacker))
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.
Consumables too, are available for 7 years following the termination of production.
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.
