Important safety information
For your safety, if any of your equipment is not operating properly or should any physical
damage occur to the equipment where internal parts may become exposed, the equipment
should be immediately disconnected from the phone line and then the power line and returned
to a SHARP authorised Service Centre for inspection, repair, or disposal.
Installing or modifying telephone lines should only be done by an ACA licensed serviceman.
This facsimile machine is designed for use in Australia only.
Do not disassemble this machine or attempt any procedures not described in this manual.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Do not install or use the machine near water, or when you are wet. For example, do not use the
machine near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool. Take care not to spill any liquids on the machine.
Unplug the machine from the power outlet and telephone socket and consult a qualified
service representative if any of the following situations occur:
- Liquid has been spilled into the machine or the machine has been
exposed to rain or water.
- The machine produces odors, smoke, or unusual noises.
- The power cord is frayed or damaged.
- The machine has been dropped or the housing damaged.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not install the machine where people
may walk on the power cord.
This machine must only be connected to a 230 - 240 V, 50 Hz, earthed (3-prong) outlet.
Connecting it to any other kind of outlet will damage the machine and invalidate the warranty.
Never insert objects of any kind into slots or openings on the machine. This could create a risk
of fire or electric shock. If an object falls into the machine that you cannot remove, unplug the
machine and consult a qualified service representative.
Do not place this machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. The machine could be seriously
damaged if it falls.
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Never install telephone sockets in wet locations unless the socket is specifically designed for
wet locations.
Never touch bare telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be
a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
The power outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily accessible.
WARNING NOTICE:

interference.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against interference in an
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause interference. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
- Connect the equipment to an outlet on a different circuit to that which the receiver is
connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment is written on the back of the
machine. The sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers (REN's) on your telephone line should
not exceed 3 to assure correct service from your telephone company.

1. Installation
Installing the Toner Cartridge
The laser printer in your fax machine uses a toner cartridge and a drum
cartridge. The drum cartridge comes pre-installed, and the toner cartridge
must be installed.
♦The drum cartridge can print approximately 20,000 A4-size pages. When
replacing the drum cartridge, use a Sharp FO-29DR drum cartridge.
Follow the steps below to install the toner cartridge and prepare the drum
cartridge.
1Grasp the print compartment cover at
both sides as shown, and pull up to
open the cover.
•Caution!
The fusing unit inside the print
compartment becomes very hot during
operation. Do not touch the inside of
the compartment or the paper guide on
the underside of the print compartment
cover.
When replacing the toner
cartridge, use a Sharp FO-29DC
toner cartridge. One cartridge
can print about 3,700 A4-size
pages at 4% coverage.
The starter toner cartridge
included with your fax can print
approximately 1,800 A4-size
pages at 4% page coverage.
