Important safety information
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 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.

Loading the Imaging Film

1. Installation
Loading the Imaging Film
Your fax uses a roll of imaging film to create printed text and images. The print
head in the fax applies heat to the imaging film to transfer ink to the paper.
Follow the steps below to load or replace the film.
♦The initial starter roll of imaging film included with the machine can print
about 30 A4-size pages.
♦When replacing the film, use a roll of SHARP UX-9CR imaging film. One
roll can print about 180 A4-size pages.
Important!
If the wrong type of film is loaded, printing will not be possible.
Near end of film detection:
At approximately 3 m from the end of the imaging film (approximately 10
pages can still be printed), “NEAR END OF FILM / USE SHARP SUPPLY”
will appear in the display. This alerts you that you will soon need to replace the
film. Correct operation of this function is only guaranteed when SHARP UX-
9CR imaging film is used.
1 Remove the paper from the paper tray
and open the operation panel (press
➊).
2 Remove the used film and
empty spool.
3 Remove the two green gears from the
spools.
DO NOT DISCARD THE TWO GREEN
GEARS!
