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.
In Australia, installing or modifying telephone lines should only be done by an ACA licensed
serviceman. In New Zealand, installing or modifying telephone lines should be done in
accordance with Telecom wiring practices.
This facsimile machine is designed for use in Australia and New Zealand 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 telephone socket and then the power outlet 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:
NO calls can be made to or from this fax machine during a mains power failure.
WARNING: Australian Communications Authority (ACA) regulations state that no unauthorised
changes or modifications to this equipment are permitted.
Note: Complies with ACA and NZ TELECOM standard AS/NZS3548 regarding emission of
electromagnetic 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.
For Australia: 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.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR NEW ZEALAND USERS

The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that Telecom has
accepted that the item complies with the minimum conditions for connection to its network. It
indicates no endorsement of the product by Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty.
Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects with another
item of Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it imply that any

Service.
To avoid telephone charges for local calls, be sure to store numbers without area code in your
auto-dial locations.
This equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a call to another device
connected to the same line.

Points to keep in mind when setting up
Do not place the
machine in direct
sunlight.
Do not place the
machine near heaters
or air conditioners.
Keep dust away from

1 Open the print compartment cover.
•Press as shown and pull the cover
toward you.
2 Remove the tape.

Connecting the Power Cord
15
1. Installation
Connecting the Power Cord
Plug the power cord into a 230-240 V, 50 Hz, earthed AC (3-prong) outlet.
Caution!
♦When disconnecting the fax, unplug the telephone line cord before
unplugging the power cord.
♦The power outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily
accessible.
♦Make sure you have removed all of the packing tape before plugging
in the power cord (see page 10). Plugging in the power cord without
doing so may damage the machine.
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.
“CHECK CARTRIDGE” normally
appears in the display the first
time you plug in the machine.
This message appears until you
install the print cartridge.
The machine does not have
a power on/off switch, so
the power is turned on and
off by simply plugging in or
unplugging the power cord.

Installing the Print Cartridge
Caution!
Do not open the print compartment cover of the machine while it is
printing. If opened while printing, printing will stop.
Note: Keep ink cartridges sealed in their packages until you are ready to install
them. It is recommended that you do not use a cartridge that has been left unused
for a long time after opening, as the print quality may be considerably degraded.
♦Make sure the power cord of the machine is plugged in and paper is loaded
before installing or replacing the print cartridge.
1 Open the operation panel.
The initial starter print
cartridge included with
your fax can print about
300 A4-size pages.
When replacing the print
cartridge, use a SHARP
FO-C60B cartridge. One
cartridge can print about
600 A4-size pages.
If PRINTER ERROR or PRINTER ERROR/CHECK PAPER appears...
In the event that the display shows either of the above messages, you must clear the
error before installing the print cartridge. The error can usually be cleared by opening
and closing the print compartment cover (see Step 2), or if a paper jam has occurred, by
removing the paper jam (see page 107).
The above
yields are at 4%
coverage in INK
SAVE mode.
