CONNECTING THE MACHINE

CONNECTING TO A NETWORK
To connect the machine to a network, connect the LAN cable to the machine's network connector. Use a shielded LAN cable.
After connecting the machine to a network, be sure to configure the IP address and other network settings before installing the software. (The factory default setting for the IP address is to receive the IP address automatically when the machine is used in a DHCP environment.) Network settings can be configured using "Network Settings" in the system settings (administrator) on the machine.
If the machine is used in a DHCP environment, the IP address of the machine may change. If this happens, printing will not be possible. This problem can be avoided by using a WINS server or by assigning a permanent IP address to the machine. This manual explains how to set up the software in a Windows network environment and in a Macintosh network environment.
CONNECTING THE MACHINE WITH A USB CABLE (Windows)
The machine can be connected to a computer using a USB cable if the computer is a Windows computer. (The USB interface on the machine cannot be used in a Macintosh environment.) The machine and computer should be connected while the printer driver is being installed. If a USB cable is connected before the printer driver is installed, the printer driver will not be installed correctly. For the procedure for connecting a USB cable, see "WHEN THE MACHINE WILL BE CONNECTED WITH A USB CABLE" (page 15).

This chapter explains how to load paper in the machine's trays.
IMPORTANT POINTS ABOUT PAPER
This section provides information that you should know before loading paper in the paper trays. Be sure to read this section before loading paper.
NAMES AND LOCATIONS OF TRAYS
The trays are identified by the names indicated below. For the sizes and types of paper that can be loaded in each tray, see the Safety Guide.
Bypass tray Tray 1 Tray 2 Tray 3 (when a stand/1 x 500 sheet paper drawer or a stand/2 x 500 sheet paper drawer is installed) Tray 4 (when a stand/2 x 500 sheet paper drawer is installed)
Tray 5 (when a large capacity tray is installed)

Tray numbers

The tray numbers vary depending on the peripheral devices that are installed.

Select the bypass tray.

(1) Touch the paper size key of the bypass tray. (2) Touch the [OK] key.
Do not place heavy objects on the bypass tray or press down on the tray.
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.

Inserting paper

A5, 7-1/4" x 10-1/2" or less size paper must be inserted in the horizontal orientation as shown at left.

Inserting tab paper

When copying on tab paper, orient the paper so that the side with the tabs enters the machine last. The bottom side of the inserted paper will be printed on. Place the tab paper and original as shown below. Original Automatic document feeder Document glass

Tab paper

Leading edge of original

Paper feed direction

When copying onto tab paper, insert the tab paper with the side to be copied on face down in the bypass tray.

Face down

Use only tab paper that is made of paper. Tab sheets made of film or other material cannot be used.
Inserting transparency film
Use SHARP-recommended transparency film. When inserting transparency film in the bypass tray, the rounded corner should be at the front left when the film is oriented horizontally, or at the far left when the film is oriented vertically. When loading multiple sheets of transparency film in the bypass tray, be sure to fan the sheets several times before loading. When printing or copying on transparency film, be sure to remove each sheet as it exits the machine. Allowing sheets to stack in the output tray may result in curling.
