The label ( ) in the fusing area of the machine indicates the
following:
: Caution, risk of danger
: Caution, hot surface
A. Warning for servicing

•exposed to direct sunlight
•The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area when removing misfed
paper.
•Do not disassemble the laser unit. Do not insert a reflective material
such as a screwdriver in the laser beam path.
It may damage eyes by reflection of laser beams.
B. Cautions for servicing

•Do not switch the machine rapidly on and off. After turning the machine
off, wait 10 to 15 seconds before turning it back on.
•Machine power must be turned off before installing any supplies.
•Place the machine on a firm, level surface.
•Do not install the machine in a humid or dusty location.
•When the machine is not used for a long time, for example, during •subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air

•When moving the machine, be sure to turn the power switch off and
remove the power cord from the outlet.
•Do not cover the machine with a dust cover, cloth or plastic film while
the power is on. Doing so may prevent heat dissipation, damaging the
machine.
•Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous laser radiation
exposure.
•The socket-outlet shall be installed near the machine and shall be easily

Note : The temperature at the both end portion of Heat roller may rise too
high, depending on the paper to use (and condition) such as
continuous printing of small size paper.
In order to prevent this situation, output (of paper) is interrupted to
cool down the roller when the thermistor at the end portion detects
higher temperature than the specified temperature.
While it is interrupted, Power Save Indicator lamp blinks similarly
as at the normal Warm-up.

During scanning, the copy lamp lights up.
When the [Interrupt] key is pressed, the operation is interrupted to go to the sub code input standby
mode.
02 Mirror home position sensor Used to monitor the mirror home position sensor. When the sensor is ON, the developer replacement

the developing bias, the main charger, and the grid are outputted. Since, in that case, laser discharge
is required when the motor stops, the polygon motor is driven simultaneously. Check if the
developing unit is installed or not. If it is not installed, the above high voltage is not outputted and only
the motor is rotated. After completion of 30 sec operation, the machine goes into the sub code input
standby mode.

If the machine goes into the warm-up state before completion of this simulation, there is a possibility
that toner may be supplied to the developer during warm-up. In such a case, therefore, the developer

When the adjustment value of the print start position is increased by 1, the resist roller ON
timing is delayed and the print image is reduced by 0.1mm. When the adjustment value of the

[Adjustment procedure]
(1) Set the print start position (A) (AUTO exposure ON), the lead edge void amount (B) (TEXT ON),
and the scan start position (C) (PHOTO ON) to <1>, and make a 100% copy.
(2) Measure the image loss (R mm) of the scale. Set as C=10 x R (mm). (Example: Set to 40.)
When the value of C is increased by 10, the image loss is decreased by 1mm. (Default: 50)
(3) Measure the distance between the paper lead edge and the image print start position.
Set as A=10 x H (mm). (Example: Set to 50.)
When the value of A is increased by 10, the image lead edge is shifted toward the paper lead
edge by 1mm. (Default: 50)
(4) Set the lead edge void area as B=50 (2.5mm). (Default: 50)
When the value of B is increased by 10, the void is increased by about 1mm.

AUTO indicator OC memory reverse output position
TEXT indicator SPF memory reverse output position
Printing of the front surface in the S-D mode and printing of the even pages in the D-S mode are
performed as reverse memory copying from the rear edge of the document.
When, therefore, the printing position adjustment of output image is required, perform the adjustment
as follows:
The image direction in reverse memory copying is shown in the figure below. That is, when the
document scan direction is as shown with the arrow, the output image is printed from the rear edge
of scanning. If, therefore, the print edge section is shifted, set the reference chart with the reference
position at the rear edge and use this simulation to change the set value in order to adjust the print
lead edge position.
Since printing is started at the print start position and performed from the last, saved data in the
memory to the head data, the lead edge position of an image is adjusted by changing the last data
position saved in the memory.

[11] OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTIONS
1. Paper feed operation
• When copy/print movement is started, a main motor is a timing of the rotary (drive system) paper pickup, and a paper feed clutch does ON, and a
paper feed roller turns.
• A transportation clutch does ON, and the paper is sent to the transportation department.
* By a separation plate to prevent against double feed of paper.

(1) NOTE FOR THE USE OF LEAD-FREE SOLDER THREAD

When repairing a lead-free solder PWB, use lead-free solder thread.
Never use conventional lead solder thread, which may cause a breakdown or an accident.
Since the melting-point of lead-free solder thread is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder thread, the use of the
exclusive-use soldering iron is recommended.
(2) NOTE FOR SOLDERING WORK

Since the melting-point of lead-freeCOPYRIGHT © XXXX
solder is about 220°C, which BYSHARP
is about CORPORATION
40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder, and its soldering
capacity is inferior to conventional one, it is apt to keep the soldering iron in contact with the PWB for longer time. This may cause land
separation or may exceed the heat-resistive temperature ALLofRIGHTS
components. RESERVED.
Use enough care to separate the soldering iron from the PWB when
completion of soldering is confirmed.
Since lead-free solder includes a greater quantity of tin, the iron tip may corrode easily. Turn ON/OFF the soldering iron power frequently.
If different-kind solder remains on the soldering iron tip, it is melted together with lead-free solder. To avoid this, clean the soldering iron
tip after completion of soldering work. No part of this publication may be reproduced,
