IMPORTANT POINTS WHEN USING THE BYPASS TRAY
When using plain paper other than SHARP standard paper or special types of paper other than SHARP-recommended transparency film, or are printing on the reverse side of previously used paper, the paper must be loaded one sheet at a time. Loading more than one sheet at a time will cause misfeeds. Before loading paper, straighten any curling in the paper. When adding paper, remove any paper remaining in the tray, combine it with the paper to be added, and reload as a single stack. If paper is added without removing the remaining paper, a misfeed may result. When using glossy paper, set the paper type to [Heavy Paper]. This will bring out the glossy quality of the paper.

Before inserting originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips. If originals have damp spots due to correction fluid, ink or pasteup glue, wait until the originals are dry before making copies. Otherwise the interior of the document feeder or the document glass may be soiled. Do not use the following originals. Incorrect original size detection, original misfeeds, and smudges may result. Transparency film, tracing paper, carbon paper, thermal paper or originals printed with thermal transfer ink ribbon should not be fed through the document feeder. Originals to be fed through the feeder should not be damaged, crumpled, folded, loosely pasted Hole Feed slot together, or have cut-out holes. Originals with multiple punched positions holes other than two-hole or three-hole punched paper may not feed correctly. When using originals with two or three holes, place them so that the punched edge is at a position away from the feed slot.
PLACING THE ORIGINAL ON THE DOCUMENT GLASS
This section explains how to place the original on the document glass. Allowed original sizes Maximum original size
Standard sizes A3: 297 mm (width) x 420 mm (length) 11" (width) x 17" (length) Non-standard sizes 297 mm (width) x 432 mm (length)
When a non-standard size original is placed in copy mode, see "SPECIFYING THE ORIGINAL SIZE" in the Copier Guide. When a non-standard size original is placed for a fax or scanner transmission, see "SPECIFYING THE SCAN SIZE OF THE ORIGINAL" in the Facsimile Guide or Scanner Guide.
Open the automatic document feeder.
Place the original face down in the far left corner of the document glass.

This chapter explains how to clean the machine and replace the toner cartridge or waste toner box.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

To ensure that the machine continues to provide top quality performance, periodically clean the machine.
Do not use a flammable spray to clean the machine. If gas from the spray comes in contact with hot electrical components or the fusing unit inside the machine, fire or electrical shock may result. Do not use thinner, benzene, or similar volatile cleaning agents to clean the machine. These may degrade or discoloured the housing.
CLEANING THE DOCUMENT GLASS AND AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER
If the document glass, document backplate sheet, or automatic document scanning area becomes dirty, the dirt will appear as dirty spots or coloured lines or white lines in the scanned image. Always keep these parts clean. Wipe the parts with a clean, soft cloth. If necessary, moisten the cloth with water or a small amount of neutral detergent. After wiping with the moistened cloth, wipe the parts dry with a clean dry cloth.

Document glass

Document backplate sheet

Scanning area

If coloured lines or white lines appear in images scanned using the automatic document feeder, clean the scanning area (the thin long glass next to the document glass). To clean this area, use the glass cleaner that is stored in the automatic document feeder. After using the glass cleaner, be sure to return it to its storage position. Examples of lines in the image

Remove the protective material from the new toner cartridge.
Hold the toner cartridge firmly while removing the protective material. After the protective material has been removed, do not point the toner cartridge down or shake it.
Insert the new toner cartridge horizontally.
Align the cartridge with the insert hole as shown and then push the cartridge in until it clicks into place.
A toner cartridge of a different colour cannot be installed. Be sure to install a toner cartridge of the same colour.
Push the cartridge in until it locks securely in place.
Push the cartridge firmly in until it clicks into place.
After the toner cartridge is replaced, the machine automatically enters image adjustment mode.
Do not throw a toner cartridge into a fire. Toner may fly and cause burns. Store toner cartridges out of the reach of small children. 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. If any one of the toner colours runs out (including black toner), colour copying will not be possible. If Y, M, or C toner runs out but Bk toner remains, black and white copying will still be possible. Keep the used toner cartridge in a plastic bag (do not discard it). The service technician will collect the used toner cartridge at the time of maintenance. To view the approximate amount of toner remaining, hold down the [COPY] key during copying, printing, or when the machine is idle. The percentage of toner remaining will appear in the display while you hold down the key. When the percentage falls to "25-0%", obtain a new toner cartridge and keep it ready for replacement.
REPLACING THE WASTE TONER BOX
The waste toner box collects residual toner that is produced during printing. When the used toner box is full, the display will show "Replace used toner container.". Follow the procedure below to replace the used toner box.
Release the used waste toner box.

PRINTER FUNCTION OF THE MACHINE
This machine has a full colour printing function which can be used in a Windows environment as a standard feature. The printer driver can be installed from the provided CD-ROM to enable printing from your computer. Expansion kits are available to enable the machine to be used in various environments. For this reason, the following printer driver types are available for use with the machine. Please select a suitable printer driver depending on the expansion kits that are installed. The functions that are available vary depending on the printer driver type. PRINTER DRIVER SPECIFICATION LIST (page 58)

Printer driver type

PCL6, PCL5c: The machine supports the Hewlett-Packard PCL6 and PCL5c printer control languages. It is recommended that you use the PCL6 printer driver. If you have a problem printing from older software using the PCL6 printer driver, use the PCL5c printer driver. This is the SHARP proprietary printer driver. The printer driver compresses the data in each print job before sending the job to the machine, enabling smooth printing. (SPLC is an acronym for "SHARP Printer Language with Compression".) This printer driver supports the PostScript 3 page description language developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated and enables the machine to be used as a PostScript 3 compatible printer. (A PPD file is available if it is desired to use the Windows standard PS printer driver. To install the PPD file, see the Software Setup Guide.)

SPLC-c:

The printer drivers that can be used vary depending on your machine model. Check which printer drivers can be used in the tables below. MX-2300G/2700G Environment Printer driver type

SELECTING THE PAPER

This section explains how to configure the "Paper Selection" setting on the [Paper] tab of the printer driver properties window. Before printing, check the paper sizes, paper types, and paper remaining in the machine's trays. To view the most recent tray information, click the [Tray Status] button.
When [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Source" The tray that has the size and type of paper selected in "Paper Size" and "Paper Type" on the [Paper] tab is automatically selected. When other than [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Source" The specified tray is used for printing regardless of the "Paper Size" setting. When [Bypass Tray] is selected Also select the "Paper Type". Check the bypass tray and make sure that the desired type of paper is loaded, and then select the appropriate "Paper Type" setting.
Special media such as envelopes can also be placed in the bypass tray. For the procedure for loading paper and other media in the bypass tray, see "LOADING PAPER IN THE BYPASS TRAY" in the User's Guide. When "Enable Detected Paper Size in Bypass Tray" (disabled by factory default) or "Enable Selected Paper Type in Bypass Tray" (enabled by factory default) is enabled in the system settings (administrator), printing will not take place if the paper size or paper type specified in the printer driver is different from the paper size or paper type specified in the settings of the bypass tray.
When [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Type" A tray with plain paper or recycled paper of the size specified in "Paper Size" is automatically selected. (The factory default setting is plain paper only.) When other than [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Type" A tray with the specified type of paper and the size specified in "Paper Size" is used for printing.
System Settings (Administrator): Exclude Bypass-Tray from Auto Paper Select When [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Selection", specify whether or not the paper in the bypass tray will be excluded from the paper that can be selected. This setting is disabled by factory default, and thus paper in the bypass tray is included in the paper that can be automatically selected. If special types of paper are frequently loaded in the bypass tray, it is recommended that this setting be enabled.
PRINTING WHEN THE USER AUTHENTICATION FUNCTION IS ENABLED
When the user authentication function is enabled in the machine's system settings (administrator), your user information (login name, password, etc.) must be entered in the setup screen of the printer driver before you can print.
