specification figures indicated are nominal values of production units. There may be some
deviations from these values in individual units.
Important:
This fax machine is not designed for use on a line which has call waiting, call

The fax machine is not compatible with digital telephone systems.
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 power outlet and telephone socket and consult a

- 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.

1. Installation
Loading Printing Paper
You can load up to 100 sheets of A4-size paper (60 - 80 g/m2) in the paper
tray (at room temperature; maximum stack height should not be higher than
the line on the tray).
1Fan the paper, and then tap the edge
against a flat surface to even the stack.
Make sure the stack edges are even.
2Insert the stack of paper into the tray, PRINT SIDE UP.
•If paper remains in the tray, take it out and combine it into a single stack
with the new paper.
•Be sure to load the paper so that printing takes place on the print side of
the paper. Printing on the reverse side may result in poor print quality.
•GENTLY LOAD PAPER INTO THE PAPER TRAY.
•DO NOT FORCE IT DOWN INTO THE FEED SLOT.
Note: Do not use paper that has already been printed on, or paper that is curled.
The stack
should not
be higher
than this line

Connecting the Power Cord
Plug the power cord into a 230-240 V, 50 Hz, earthed AC (3-prong) outlet.
Caution!
♦Make sure you have removed all of the packing tape before plugging
in the power cord (see page 12). Plugging in the power cord without
doing so may damage the machine.
♦When disconnecting the machine, unplug the telephone line cord before
unplugging the power cord.
♦The power outlet must be installed near the equipment and must 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.
