MAIN FEATURES
High-speed laser copying
· First-copy time*1 at 300 dpi*2 is only 7.2 seconds.
· Copying speed is 20/16 copies per minute at 600 dpi, This is ideal for business use and provides a big boost to
workplace productivity.
*1 First-Copy time may vary depending on the power-supply voltage, ambient temperature, and other operating conditions.
*2 "dpi" ("dots per inch") are units that are used to measure resolution. Resolution indicates how much detail can be
reproduced in a printed or scanned image.
High-quality digital image
· High-quality copies are possible in normal mode at 300 dpi and in photo mode.
· In addition to automatic exposure adjustment, two original modes can be selected: "TEXT" for text-only originals,
and "PHOTO" for photographs. The exposure can be adjusted to five levels in each mode.
· The photo mode copying function allows clear copying of delicate halftone original images such as monochrome
photos and color photos.
Enhanced copying features
· Zoom copies can be made from 25% to 400% in 1% increments.
(When the SPF/RSPF is being used, the zoom copy ratio range is 50% to 200%.)
· Continuous copying of up to 999 copies is possible. (Can be changed to a maximum of 99 copies in the user
programs.)
· The user programs allow customized machine settings and management. Access to the machine can be
controlled by enabling audit mode.

· The machine is initially set to automatically enter power save mode if not used for copying, printing, or scanning
for a preset period of time. This setting can be changed in the user programs. (p.44)
Power Save Modes
The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption thereby
reducing the cost of operation. In addition, these modes conserve natural resources and help
reduce environmental pollution. The two power save modes are "Preheat mode" and "Auto
power shut-off mode".
Preheat mode
This function automatically switches the machine to a low power consumption state if the set duration of time
elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. The POWER SAVE indicator lights up, however, the
keys on the operation panel can be used. Normal operation automatically resumes when a key on the operation
panel is pressed, an original is placed, a print job is received, or scanning is begun from a computer.
Auto power shut-off mode
This function automatically switches the machine to a state that consumes even less power than preheat mode if the
set duration of time elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. All lights except the POWER
SAVE indicator and ON LINE indicator go off. To resume normal operation, press the [START] key ( ). Normal
operation also resumes automatically when a print job is received or scanning is begun from a computer. While in
auto power shut-off mode, no keys (except the [START] key ( )) can be used.
Note The preheat activation time and the "Auto power shut-off timer" can be changed using user programs. It is
suggested that you set times that are appropriate for your usage of the machine. (p.44)
Initial settings
The machine assumes the initial settings when it is first turned on, when the [CLEAR ALL] key ( ) is pressed,
and approximately one minute after the last copy is made in any mode.

Special papers
Follow these guidelines when using special papers.
Use SHARP recommended transparency film and label sheets. Using other than SHARP recommended
paper may result in misfeeds or smudges on the output. If other than SHARP recommended media must
be used, feed each sheet one at a time using the bypass tray (do not attempt continuous copying or
printing).
There are many varieties of special paper available on the market, and some cannot be used with this
machine. Before using special paper, contact a SHARP service center.
Before using other than SHARP recommended paper, make a test copy to see if the paper is suitable.
