About the scan head
The scan head lamp remains on constantly when the unit is in the ready condition
(when the start ( ) indicator is illuminated).
The unit adjusts the scan head lamp periodically to maintain copying quality. At this
time, the scan head moves automatically. This is normal and does not indicate unit
trouble.
If you use the unit in a country other than the country where the unit was
purchased, you will need to make sure that your local power supply is
compatible with your model. If you plug the unit into an incompatible
power supply, irreparable damage to the unit will result.
Only insert the power cord into a properly grounded wall socket.
Do not use extension cords or power strips.
The unit will enter a power save mode once the set time has elapsed
without any unit operation. The settings of the power save modes can
be modified. See "USER PROGRAMS" (p.55).
The unit will return to the initial settings a preset amount of time after
the end of copy or scanner job. The preset amount of time (auto clear
time) can be changed. See "USER PROGRAMS" (p.55).

5
Fan the paper and insert it into the tray. Make sure the edges go
under the corner hooks.
6
Gently push the paper tray back into the unit.
Do not load paper above the maximum height line ( ). Exceeding
the line will cause a paper misfeed.
After loading paper, to cancel the blinking without restarting
copying, press the clear ( ) key. The in the display will go out
and the start ( ) indicator will light up.
Be sure that paper is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent
edges.
Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.
When loading paper, ensure there is no space between the paper and
the guide, and check if the guide is not set too narrow causing the
paper to bend. Loading paper in these ways will result in document
skew or a paper jam.
When not using the unit for an extended period, remove all paper from
the paper tray and store it in a dry place. If paper is left in the unit for
an extended period, the paper will absorb moisture from the air,
resulting in paper jams.
When adding new paper to the paper tray, remove the old paper
already contained in the tray. Placing new paper on top of the paper
already contained in the tray may result in feeding two sheets at one
time.
17
3
BYPASS FEED (including special paper)
The multi-bypass tray can be used to feed standard paper, transparency film, labels,
envelopes, and other special purpose paper. Paper measuring from 3-1/2" x 5-1/2"
to 8-1/2" x 14" and in the weight range of 14 lbs. to 34.5 lbs. (52g/m
2
to 128g/m
2
) can
be used in this tray. (For paper weighing from 28 lbs. to 34.5 lbs. (105g/m
2
to
128g/m
2
), 8-1/2" x 11" is the maximum size.)
The multi-bypass tray
1
Open the multi-bypass tray and extend the tray.
The multi-bypass tray can hold maximum of 50 sheets of paper.
(Capacity will vary depending on the type of paper loaded.)
The original image must be smaller than the paper or media for
copying. If the original image is bigger than the paper or media, this
may cause smudges on the edges of the copies.
To close the multi-
bypass tray,
perform step 1
and then step 2 in
the illustration and
push the round
projections at the
right of the tray
until they click.
18
2
Set the paper guides to the paper width. Insert the paper (print
face down) all the way into the multi-bypass tray.
3
Press the tray select ( ) key to select the multi-bypass tray.
Paper must be fed narrow side into the feed slot.
Special papers such as transparency film, labels, and envelopes
must be fed one sheet at a time through the multi-bypass tray.
When copying onto transparency film, remove each copy
promptly. Do not let copies stack up.
Note for loading envelopes
Envelopes must be fed narrow side into the feed slot at a time.
Do not use non-standard envelopes, and envelopes that have metal clasps, plastic snappers,
string closures, windows, linings, self-adhesive, patches or synthetic materials. Do not use
envelopes that are filled with air or envelopes that have labels or stamps attached.
Envelopes of which the surface is not flat because of embossing may cause the
copies/prints to become smudged.
Under high humidity and temperature conditions the glue flaps on some envelopes
may become sticky and be sealed closed when copied/printed.
Use only envelopes which are flat and crisply folded. Curled or poorly formed
envelopes may be poorly printed or may cause misfeeds.
Be sure to select either Com10, DL, C5 or Monarch on the paper size setting of the
printer driver. (For detailed information on printer driver, refer to the online manual.)
It is recommended that you perform a test print before performing the actual copied/
printed job.

All About The Windows Event Manager and scanner events in
Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Windows Platforms provide a mechanism for software to handle external events for
a scanner device like the SHARP AL-1641CS products. This mechanism is
controlled by the device manager on a device basis. Applications that can handle
events from a scanner/camera device register with the Windows Event Manager and
shown as available in the registered applications. The path an event takes to get to
the user's selected application depends upon the event settings for the device.

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.

>5.14mg/L (Rats)
Eye irritation : Not an irritant (Rabbits)
Skin irritation : Not an irritant (Rabbits)
Skin sensitizer : No data
Mutagenicity : Negative (Ames Test).
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.

Chronic Effect : In a study in rats of chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to
moderate degree of lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of the rats in the high
concentration (16mg/m
3
) exposure group, and a minimal to mild degree of
fibrosis was noted in 22% of the animals in the middle (4mg/m
3
) exposure
group, but no pulmonary change was reported in the lowest (1mg/m
3
)
exposure group, the most relevant level to potential human exposures.
