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.

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
the machine.
About condensation
If the machine is moved from a cold to a warm place, it is possible that
condensation may form on the scanning glass, preventing proper scanning of
documents for transmission. To remove the condensation, turn on the power and
wait approximately two hours before using the machine.

Connecting the Power Cord
14
Connecting the Power Cord
Plug the power cord into a 230 V, 50 Hz, earthed (3-prong) AC outlet.
Caution!
♦Make sure you have removed all of the packing tape before plugging
in the power cord (see page 9). Plugging in the power cord without doing
so may damage the machine.
♦The power outlet should be installed near the equipment and be easily
accessible.
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.

1. Installation
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
UX-C70B cartridge. One
cartridge can print about
600 A4r-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 106).
The above
yields are at 4%
coverage in INK
SAVE mode.
