removing a misfeed,
performing maintenance,
closing the front and
side covers, and
inserting and removing
trays, take care that your
fingers are not pinched.
Do not install in a location with
moisture or dust.
Risk of fire and electrical shock.
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.
Do not look directly at the
light source.
Doing so may damage your
eyes.
Do not install the machine in a location with poor ventilation. Install so
that exhaust from the machine does not directly contact people.
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.
However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable odor, it is
advisable to place the copier in a ventilated area.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The performance of the machine is affected by the ambient conditions of the installation location. Do not install in the
following locations:
Locations that are excessively hot, cold,
humid, or dry (near heaters, humidifiers, air
conditioners, etc.)
The paper will become damp and condensation may form
inside the machine, causing misfeeds and dirty output.
☞Ambient environment (page 10)
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.
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.)
Dusty locations
If dust enters the machine, dirty output and machine failure
may result.
Locations exposed to direct sunlight
Plastic parts may become deformed and dirty output may
result.
Locations with ammonia gas
Installing the machine next to a diazo copy machine may
cause dirty output.
Locations subject to vibration.
Vibration may cause failure.
CAUTION:
Do not install the machine in a location
with poor air circulation.
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.)
* 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.
