MAIN FEATURES

High-speed laser copying

First-copy time*

is only 8.0*

seconds.

Copying speed is 20 copies per minute. This is ideal for business use and provides a

big boost to workplace productivity.

The first-copy time is measured after the power save indicator turns off following

power on, using the document glass with the polygon rotating in the copy ready state

and "LSU SETTING" set to ON in the user programs (8-1/2" x 11", paper fed from

paper tray).

When user program 24 is set to OFF.

High-quality digital image

• High-quality copying at 600 dpi is performed.

• 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 increments of 1%. (When the

RSPF is being used, the zoom copy ratio range is 50% to 200%.)

• Continuous copying of up to 99 copies is possible.

• Sets of output can be offset from each other for easy separation (offset function).

• Sorting by sets is possible without the need for a sorter or other special device

(Sort copy).

• Includes convenient features such as margin shift, 2 IN 1 copy, and automatic two-

sided copying.

PREPARATIONS

Power off

Make sure that the machine is not in operation and then turn the power

switch to the "OFF" position.

If the power switch is turned off while the machine is

in operation, a misfeed may occur and the job that

was in progress will be canceled.

In cases where the machine will not be used for a

long time, turn off the power switch and remove the

power cord from the outlet.

Check the following to make sure the machine is not in operation:

• The ready indicator is lit. (Initial state)

• The power save indicator is lit. (preheat mode or auto power shut-off mode)

Power save modes

The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption and

thereby reduce 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. In this mode, the power save indicator lights up. Normal operation automatically

resumes when a key on the operation panel is pressed, an original is placed, a print

job is received.

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. The power save indicator lights up, the display shows a

message indicating that the machine is in auto power shut-off mode. 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.

Check RSPF open function

When enabled, this function may help prevent wasteful use of toner that occurs

when the RSPF cover is not completely closed.

If the start ( ) key is pressed when the RSPF cover is not completely closed,

"CLOSE THE SPF/RSPF COVER." will appear in the display and copying may not

take place. If copying does not take place, copying can be performed by pressing the

start ( ) key again, however, the scan size set in "TRAY'S PAPER SIZE SETTING"

(p.19) or "VALID COPY WIDTH" (program number 25) (p.57) will be used.

If the RSPF cover is completely closed after "CLOSE THE SPF/RSPF COVER."

appears, copying will take place at the normal size.

The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time can be

changed with "PREHEAT MODE" and "AUTO SHUT-OFF TIME" in the

user programs. It is suggested that you set times that are appropriate

for your usage of the machine. (p.54 and p.55)

Chapter 2

The tray location indicator will blink when there is no paper in the selected paper

tray, or when the selected paper tray is not closed or is improperly closed.

PAPER

For best results, use only SHARP recommended paper.

The number of sheets of paper that can be loaded varies depending on the weight of

the paper.

Do not use non-standard envelopes or envelopes that have metal clasps, plastic

snappers, strings, windows, linings, self-adhesive strips, patches or synthetic materials.

Do not use envelopes that are filled with air or envelopes that have labels or stamps

attached. These will damage the machine.

When using paper heavier than 28 lbs. (104 g/m

), use paper that is 8-1/2" x 11" or

smaller.

LOADING PAPER

!AR-208S_208D.book 14 ページ２００７年１２月３日　月曜日　午後３時３３分

LOADING PAPER

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.

LOADING THE PAPER TRAY

Raise the handle of the paper tray

and pull the paper tray out until it

stops.

Fan the paper and insert it into the tray. Make sure that the

edges go under the corner hooks.

Make sure that the paper is not torn, is free of dust, and has no wrinkles

or curled edges.

• Do not load paper above the maximum height line ( ).

Exceeding the line will cause a paper misfeed.

• If the paper is not fanned, double-feeds or misfeeds may occur.

• Make sure the stack of paper is straight before loading it. When

adding paper, take the remaining paper out and combine it into a

single stack with the new paper.

• Make sure that all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.

• When loading paper, ensure that there is no space between the

paper and the guide, and make sure that the guide is not set too

narrow and causes the paper to bend. Incorrect loading will cause the

paper to skew or misfeed.

Note

!AR-208S_208D.book 15 ページ２００７年１２月３日　月曜日　午後３時３３分

LOADING PAPER

Gently push the paper tray back into the machine.

• If you loaded a paper size that is different from the previously loaded

paper size, change the paper size setting as explained in

"CHANGING A TRAY'S PAPER SIZE SETTING" (p.19)

• When not using the machine for an extended period, remove all

paper from the paper tray and store it in a dry place. If paper is left in

the machine for an extended period, the paper will absorb moisture

from the air, resulting in paper jams.

Up to 50 sheets of standard copy paper can be inserted in the bypass tray. (Capacity

will vary depending on the type of paper loaded.)

Be sure to place envelopes horizontally as shown in the following diagram.

• When loading envelopes, make sure that they are straight and flat and do not have

loosely glued construction flaps (not the closure flap).

• Special papers such as SHARP recommended transparency film, labels, and

envelopes must be fed one sheet at a time through the bypass tray.

• When adding paper, first remove any paper remaining in the tray, combine it with

the paper to be added and then reload as a single stack. The paper to be added

must be the same size and type as the paper already in the tray.

• Do not use paper that is smaller than the original. This may cause smudges or

unclean images.

• Do not use paper that has already been printed on by a laser printer or plain paper

fax machine. This may cause smudges or unclean images.

Envelopes

Do not use the following envelopes, as misfeeds will occur.

• Envelopes with metal tabs, clasps, strings, holes, or windows.

• Envelopes with rough fibers, carbon paper, or glossy surfaces.

• Envelopes with two or more flaps.

• Envelopes with tape, film, or paper attached to the flap.

• Envelopes with a fold in the flap.

• Envelopes with glue on the flap to be moistened for sealing.

• Envelopes with labels or stamps.

• Envelopes that are slightly inflated with air.

• Envelopes with glue protruding from the seal area.

• Envelopes with part of the seal area peeled off.

• Be sure to select com9, com10 or Monarch in the paper size setting of the printer

driver. (For detailed information on the printer driver, refer to the online manual.)

Chapter 6

The machine includes a USB connector as standard equipment.

The machine has the following features:

• High-speed data transfer (when connected to a USB 2.0 connector)

• ROPM* function

* ROPM is an acronym for "Rip Once Print Many" processing. The ROPM function stores

multiple pages of print data in memory before printing. When printing multiple copies,

this eliminates the need for the computer to repeatedly transmit the print data.

To use the machine as a printer or scanner, the printer driver or scanner driver must

first be installed as explained in the "INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE".

• 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.58).

* 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.

CLEANING THE MACHINE

Proper care is essential in order to get clean, sharp copies. Be sure to take a few

minutes to clean the machine on a regular basis.

Cabinet

Wipe the cabinet with a soft, clean cloth.

Document glass and the back side of the RSPF

Stains on the glass, RSPF scanning window, cover or RSPF roller will also be

copied. Wipe the glass, RSPF scanning window, cover and RSPF roller with a soft,

clean cloth. If necessary, dampen the cloth with a glass cleaner.

Do not spray flammable cleaner gas. Gas from the spray may

come in contact with the internal electrical components or high-

temperature parts of the fusing unit, creating a risk of fire or

electrical shock.

• Before cleaning, be sure to turn the power switch off and remove

the power cord from the outlet.

• Do not use thinner, benzene or other volatile cleaning agents.

Doing so may cause deformation, discoloration, deterioration or

malfunction.

Carcinogenicity : In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human

carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for which there is inadequate human

evidence, but sufficient animal evidence on which to base an opinion of carcinogenicity. The

classification is based upon the development of lung tumors in rats receiving chronic inhalation

exposures to free carbon black at levels that induce particle overload of the lung. Studies

performed in animal models other than rats did not show any association between carbon black

and lung tumors. Moreover, a two-year cancer bioassay using a typical toner preparation

containing carbon black demonstrated no association between toner exposure and tumor

development in rats.
