TROUBLESHOOTING

Troubleshooting
If you experience difficulty using the machine, check the following troubleshooting guide before calling for service. Many problems can be easily resolved by the user. If you are unable to solve the problem using the troubleshooting guide, turn off the power switch and unplug the machine, and contact your SHARP service center.
PRINTING AND SCANNING PROBLEMS
In addition to this section, troubleshooting information can also be found in the README files for each of the software programs. The README file (readme.txt) is copied to your computer when the software is installed, and can be found in the "Program Files" "SHARP" - "AL20502060" folder on the drive where you installed the software.
Problem Cause and solution The machine is not correctly connected to your computer. Check both ends of the USB cable and make sure you have a solid connection. Try a known good cable. If the machine is used as a network printer, 1. The IP address has changed automatically because "Get IP Address Automatically" was selected. 2. The machine's IP address was changed to an incorrect IP address using "Set the IP Address". If you are assigning an IP address using "Set the IP Address", select "Assign IP Address" and manually enter the correct IP address. If the machine is used as a shared printer, the name of the computer to which the machine is connected or the share settings have changed. Reconfigure the port setting of the shared printer. The machine is not selected in the application. After choosing "Print" from the "File" menu, make sure that "SHARP AL-XXXX" is selected as the printer in the "Print" window. Page Operation Manual

Printing is slow.
The printed image is light and uneven.
The paper is loaded so that printing takes place on the back side of the paper. Some paper types have a front and back side. If the paper is loaded so that printing takes place on the back side, toner will not adhere well to the paper and a good image will not be obtained. You are using paper that is outside the specified size and weight range. Use copy paper within the specified range. Paper is curled or damp. Do not use curled or crimped paper. Replace with dry copy paper. During periods when the machine is not used for a long time, remove the paper from the tray and store it in a dark place in a bag to prevent moisture absorption. You did not set sufficient margins in the paper settings of your application. The top and bottom of the paper may be dirty if the margins are set outside of the specified print quality area. Set the margins in the software application within the specified print quality area.

Poor scanning quality.

(part 6)
If scanning is not possible, shut down your computer, turn off the machine's power switch, and unplug the machine's power cord. Next, start your computer, restore power to the machine, and try scanning again. If scanning is still not possible, check the following items. Unable to scan the image. Your application is not TWAIN/WIA compliant. If your application is not TWAIN/WIA compliant, scanning will not be possible. Make sure your application is TWAIN/WIA compliant. You have not specified all scanning preferences appropriately. Scanning a large area in full color at high resolution results in a large amount of data and extended scanning times. The scanning preferences should be set appropriately for the type of original to be scanned, i.e., Web page (monitor), Photo, FAX, or OCR. Your computer does not meet the system requirements for the USB 2.0 interface (Hi-Speed mode). See "System requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode)" in the Operation Manual to configure your system as required for USB 2.0, and then set "USB2.0 MODE SWITCH" in the user programs to "HI-SPEED".

Connecting a USB cable

Follow the procedure below to connect the machine to your computer. A USB cable for connecting the machine to your computer is not included with the machine. Please purchase the appropriate cable for your computer.
USB is available with a PC/AT compatible computer that was originally equipped with USB and had Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP or Windows Vista preinstalled. Do not connect the USB cable before installing the printer driver. The USB cable should be connected during installation of the printer driver. If the machine will be connected using a USB 2.0 port of your computer, please purchase a USB cable that supports USB 2.0. To obtain the fastest USB 2.0 data transfer speed, "USB2.0 MODE SWITCH" in the machine's user programs must be set to "HI-SPEED". For more information, see "USER PROGRAMS" (p.66). Use the machine's "HI-SPEED" mode only when using a computer that is running Windows 2000/XP/Vista. Even when the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver is used, it may not be possible to obtain full USB 2.0 speed if a PC card supporting USB 2.0 is used. To obtain the latest driver (which may enable a higher speed), contact the manufacturer of your PC card. Connection is also possible using a USB 1.1 port on your computer. However, the specifications will be USB 1.1 specifications (Full-Speed).

If a problem occurs in printer or scanner mode, see the Online Manual. When using USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode), be sure to read "System requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode)" (below) to verify that your system and the machine settings are configured appropriately.
System requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode)
The following system is required to use USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode): Your computer must be running Windows 2000 Professional / XP / Vista and the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver must be installed. The "USB 2.0 MODE SWITCH" setting in the machine's user programs must be set to "Hi-Speed". To change the setting, see "USB 2.0 MODE SWITCH" in the user programs. (p.66).
* Even when the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver is installed, some USB 2.0 expansion cards are not capable of attaining the speed stipulated by the Hi-Speed standard. This problem can often be fixed by installing a more recent driver for the card. To obtain the most recent driver for your card, contact the card's manufacturer.

USING THE PRINTER MODE

The procedure for loading paper for printing is the same as for loading copy paper. See "LOADING PAPER" (p.18).
Print jobs received while the machine is copying will be stored in memory. When the copy job is finished, the print jobs will begin printing. Printing is not possible when the front or side cover is opened for machine maintenance, or when a misfeed occurs or the machine runs out of paper or toner, or when the drum cartridge reaches its replacement time.
BASIC PROCEDURE FOR PRINTING
The basic procedure for printing is explained in the following. To use convenient printer functions, see the "Online Manual" or the printer driver help file.
Make sure that paper is loaded in the tray.
The procedure for loading paper is the same as for copying. See "LOADING PAPER" (p.18) and make sure that the paper you wish to use is loaded.

USER SETTINGS
The user settings allow you to customize machine settings to better meet your needs.

USER PROGRAMS

The user settings consist of the following items. To change the user program settings as explained in "SELECTING A SETTING FOR A USER PROGRAM" (p.67).

AUTO CLEAR

1: 10 SEC. 2: 30 SEC. 3: 60 SEC. 4: 90 SEC. 5: 120 SEC. 6: OFF
Auto clear time automatically returns the copy settings to the initial settings (p.16) if no keys are pressed for a preset period of time following the end of a copy job. This program is used to select the period of time. Auto clear time can also be disabled. 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. Use this setting to enable or disable auto power shut-off mode.

Explanation

AUTO SHUT-OFF TIME

1: 5 MIN. 2: 30 MIN. 3: 60 MIN. 4: 120 MIN. 5: 240 MIN.
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 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. Use this setting to select the layout pattern when two original pages are copied onto a single sheet of paper (see page 35 for the layout patterns). When enabled, this function offsets the position in the paper output tray of sets of copies during copy job, and print jobs when using the printer function. When two-sided copying is performed, this function rotates the image on the back of the original. This is convenient when binding the copies at the top (tablet binding). This setting is used to change the copy resolution in AUTO and TEXT mode from 600 x 300 dpi to 600 x 600 dpi (highquality mode). Scanning is slower when high-quality mode is used. If the memory fills up when two-sided copying is performed, "NORMAL" can be selected to make copying possible. However, "NORMAL" results in a slower copying speed. Normally "HISPEED" is selected to enable fast two-sided copying.

MARGIN WIDTH

Use this setting to set the margin width. Use this to change the proportion of machine memory used for printer mode. Use this setting to select whether or not holding down a key causes repeated input of the key. For keys that normally cause a set value to increase when held down (for example, holding down the [ ] key ( ) or [ ] key ( )), this program can be used to have the set value not change when the key is held down. Use this setting to select how long a key must be pressed for the input to be accepted. By selecting a longer time, you can prevent settings from being changed by the accidental pressing of a key. This sets the volume of beep signals. (p.68) Use this to sound a beep when a base setting is selected. (p.68) This mode reduces toner usage by about 10% when copying. Toner save mode is effective when the exposure mode is AUTO or TEXT. This is used to adjust the exposure level. The automatic exposure level can be adjusted separately for the document glass and the RSPF. For the procedure for adjusting the exposure and guidelines for numeric values, see page 28. The factory default setting for the exposure level is "center".
