Recycled paper, coloured paper and pre-punched paper must meet the same specifications as plain paper.
Page 70
• The image quality and toner fusibility of paper may change due to ambient conditions, operating conditions, and paper characteristics, resulting in image quality inferior to that of SHARP standard paper. Contact your dealer or nearest authorised service representative for advice on using these types of paper.

Sharp OSA (Open Systems Architecture) is an architecture that enables external applications to be directly connected to a digital multifunction machine over a network. When a digital multifunction machine that supports Sharp OSA is used, the operation panel controls and functions of the machine such as scan send can be linked to an external application.
The two modes for using an external account application operate as explained below. External authentication mode When the [Enable Authentication by External Server] checkbox is selected in "External Account Setting" of "Sharp OSA Settings" in the system settings (administrator), the machine enters external authentication mode. When the machine is powered on in external authentication mode, the machine accesses the external account application and displays the login screen.
Page 92
OFF" (page 1-15). External count mode When only the [External Account Control] setting is enabled in "External Account Setting" of "Sharp OSA Settings" in the system settings (administrator), the machine enters external count mode. Unlike external authentication mode, when the machine is started in "external count mode", the login screen of the external account application is not displayed.
BEFORE USING THE MACHINE MAINTENANCE This section explains how to clean the machine and replace the toner cartridges and the waste toner box. REGULAR MAINTENANCE To ensure that the machine continues to provide top quality performance, periodically clean the machine. Warning Do not use a flammable spray to clean the machine.

Ready to scan for copy. If you continue to use the machine without replacing the cartridge, the following message will appear when the toner runs out.
Page 106
BEFORE USING THE MACHINE Open the front cover. Locations of colour toner cartridges (A): Yellow (B): Magenta (C): Cyan (D): Black Pull the toner cartridge toward you. Gently pull the toner cartridge horizontally toward you. If the cartridge is pulled out abruptly, toner may spill out. Example: Replacing the yellow toner cartridge Hold the toner cartridge with both hands as shown and pull it out of the machine.
Page 107
• If a toner cartridge other than a SHARP-recommended toner cartridge is used, the machine may not attain full quality and performance and there is a risk of damage to the machine. Be sure to use a SHARP-recommended toner cartridge.
BEFORE USING THE MACHINE REPLACING THE WASTE TONER BOX The waste toner box collects excess toner that is produced during printing. When the waste toner box becomes full, "Replace used toner container." will appear. Follow the procedure below to replace the waste toner box. Open the front cover.
Page 109
BEFORE USING THE MACHINE Place the box on a flat surface. Place a sheet of newspaper on the surface before placing the box. • Do not point the holes down as used toner will spill out. • Do not discard the removed waste toner box. Store it in a plastic bag. The person in charge shall collect it for maintenance.

FACSIMILE PERFORMING F-CODE COMMUNICATION This section explains how to perform F-code communication operations. F-code communication is possible with machines of other manufacturers that also support F-code communication. F-CODE COMMUNICATION Exchange of confidential documents (confidential communication), retrieval (polling) and distribution (polling memory) of information, distribution of information to multiple destinations (relay broadcast transmission) are possible with other machines that support F-code communication.
FACSIMILE CREATING MEMORY BOXES IN THE MACHINE FOR F-CODE COMMUNICATION Before the F-code communication function can be used, special memory boxes must be created using "F-Code Memory Box" in the system settings. A box name and F-code (sub-address and passcode) are programmed in each box, and an F-code communication function is assigned to each box.
FACSIMILE CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION USING F-CODES By sending a fax to an F-code memory box (confidential) in the receiving machine (your machine or the other machine), the sender can direct the transmission specifically to the user of the box. This is convenient for sending sensitive documents that you do not wish people other than the recipient to see, or when the receiving machine is shared by multiple departments.
FACSIMILE F-CODE CONFIDENTIAL TRANSMISSION Follow the steps below to send a confidential fax by adding an F-code to the fax number. Place the original. Place the original face up in the document feeder tray, or face down on the document glass. Enter the destination fax number.
FACSIMILE CHECKING FAXES RECEIVED BY F-CODE CONFIDENTIAL RECEPTION When an F-code confidential fax is sent to your machine, the fax is received to the memory box specified by the F-code. To check received faxes, enter the print passcode. The machine rings and the fax is received.
Page 459
FACSIMILE Enter the print passcode with the numeric keys. Enter PIN via the 10-key. As each digit is entered, "–" changes to " ". Cancel Take care to enter the correct print passcode. If you make a mistake, a message will appear and you will return to the entry screen.
FACSIMILE POLLING RECEPTION USING F-CODES This function enables your machine to call another machine and initiate reception of a fax stored in an F-code memory box (polling memory) in the other machine. During the polling operation, your machine must correctly specify the F-code (sub-address and passcode) configured in the other machine or polling reception will not take place.

FACSIMILE RELAY REQUEST TRANSMISSION USING F-CODES This function is used to send a fax to an F-code relay broadcast memory box in another machine and have that machine relay the fax to multiple end receiving machines. When the end receiving machines are far from your machine, sending the fax to a relay machine that is close to the end receiving machines can help reduce phone charges.
