• 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).

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 (  
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.  
). Normal operation also resumes automatically  
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)  
Note  
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.

).  
Note  
• 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.

• 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.

BYPASS FEED (including special paper)  
The bypass tray can be used to feed standard paper, transparency film, labels,  
envelopes, and other special purpose paper.  
Important points when inserting paper in the bypass tray  
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.

Available  
• 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.

PRINTER/SCANNER  
FUNCTIONS  
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.  
Note  
• 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.

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.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET  
Page : 4/4  
Date Issued : Nov. 1, 2007  
MSDS No. F-01601  
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/m3) exposure  
group, and a minimal to mild degree of fibrosis was noted in 22% of the animals in the middle  
(4mg/m3) exposure group, but no pulmonary change was reported in the lowest (1mg/m3)  
exposure group, the most relevant level to potential human exposures.

FINAL PREPARATIONS  
CONNECTING OTHER DEVICES  
If desired, an answering machine or external telephone can be connected to the machine through the telephone  
jack, labeled "TEL," on the rear of the machine.  
Connecting an answering machine to the machine allows you to receive both voice and fax messages when you  
are out. To use this feature, first change the outgoing message of your answering machine, and then set the  
reception mode of the machine to "A.M." (Answering Machine mode) when you go out.  
If you are using distinctive ringing with an answering machine, you do not need to follow the procedure described  
below. (Please note that when distinctive ringing is used, the answering machine must be distinctive ring  
compatible.)  
Note  
Comments:  
1. It is advisable to keep the length of the message under 10 seconds. If it is too long, you may have difficulty  
receiving faxes sent by automatic dialing.  
2. Your callers can even leave a voice message and send a fax message on the same call. Modify your outgoing  
message to explain that this can be done by pressing their [START] key ( ) after leaving their voice message.  
You can connect an extension phone to the machine to make and receive calls like any other extension phone on  
your line. Even if you pick up the extension phone and hear a fax tone, the machine will automatically cut in and  
take over the line. Note, however, if you also have a PC modem on the same line, you must turn on the Remote  
Reception function, and deactivate the Fax Signal Receive function. See "SETTING UP THE MACHINE FOR  
USE WITH A PC MODEM" (p.38) and "USING THE REMOTE RECEPTION FUNCTION" (p.39).  
The Remote Reception function is initially set to "ON".

SELECTING THE TRANSMISSION MODE  
The machine has two modes for sending faxes: memory transmission and direct transmission. To change modes,  
press the [MEMORY] key. The MEMORY indicator lights up when memory transmission is selected, and goes off  
when direct transmission is selected.  
MEMORY indicator  
Transmission takes place as follows in each mode:  
Memory transmission (the MEMORY indicator is lit)  
When a fax is sent from the RSPF and there are no previously stored fax jobs and no job in progress (the telephone  
line is not being used), dialing and scanning begin at the same time. Each page is transmitted after it is scanned.  
This transmission method is called Quick Online transmission.  
If there are previously stored fax jobs or a job in progress, or the fax is being sent from the document glass, the fax  
is temporarily scanned into memory before transmission.  
When a fax is sent by transmission reservation (p.70), broadcast transmission (p.71), broadcasting using a Group  
key (p.72), or timer transmission (p.79), the fax is scanned into memory before transmission.  
Note  
Direct transmission (the MEMORY indicator is off)  
The fax is sent directly after the destination is dialed and the connection established.  
The machine memory is not used for direct transmission, and thus direct transmission is possible even when the  
memory is full.  
• A fax job cannot be stored while a direct transmission is in progress.  
Note  
• Only one page can be sent from the document glass by direct transmission.  
• A subsequent function cannot be used while a direct transmission is in progress.

SELECTING THE RECEPTION MODE  
Your machine has three modes for receiving incoming calls and faxes:  
AUTO mode:  
Select this mode when you only want to receive faxes on your telephone line. The machine will automatically  
answer all calls and receive incoming faxes.  
MAN. mode:  
This is the most convenient mode for receiving phone calls if you have an extension phone. To have true manual  
mode, the machine must be set to not answer while in MAN. mode (see "SETTING THE NUMBER OF RINGS  
FOR MANUAL RECEPTION" (p.29)). You can also receive faxes; however, all calls must first be answered by  
picking up the receiver on the extension phone.  
A.M. mode:  
Select this mode when an answering machine is connected to the machine and you want the answering machine  
to answer all calls. This allows you to receive both voice messages and faxes while you are out.

If you are using distinctive ringing as described in "DISTINCTIVE RINGING" on page 41, you must set the  
reception mode to AUTO. This is true, as well, if you are using an answering machine with distinctive ringing (in  
this case, the answering machine must be connected to a separate wall jack, not to your machine).

DISTINCTIVE RINGING  
Distinctive ringing is a service offered by some telephone companies that allows you to use up to six different  
telephone numbers, each with a distinctive ringing pattern, on your regular single line. If you subscribe to a  
distinctive ringing service, you can set your fax to automatically answer when it detects one of these ringing patterns,  
and use the number corresponding to that pattern as an exclusive fax number.  
Important:  
To use distinctive ringing, you must subscribe to your phone company’s distinctive ringing service. Do not use this  
setting if you do not subscribe to a distinctive ringing service.  
When using this feature, you must set the reception mode of your machine to AUTO (See "SELECTING THE  
RECEPTION MODE" (p.27)). When your designated fax number is dialed, the machine will automatically answer  
and begin reception. Note that other devices you have connected on the same line will also ring until the machine  
answers. If one of your other numbers is dialed, the machine will neither ring nor answer.  
To use distinctive ringing, select the ringing pattern to which you want your machine to answer, as shown below.

QUIET DETECT TIME  
Quiet Detect Time is the function that enables the machine to be used along with an answering machine for both  
phone messages and faxes. After the answering machine has answered, any duration of silence longer than a  
certain threshold time will prompt the machine to take over the line and prepare to receive a fax. The Quiet Detect  
Time can be set from 00 to 10 seconds, following the procedure below.

Selection  
"1:QUIET DETECT TIME"  
• The machine has been set at the factory for a Quiet Detect Time of 5 seconds, which gives the best  
performance for most answering machines. However, you may have to adjust the Quiet Detect Time depending  
on your answering machine’s disconnect time, the time before the machine disconnects the line after a period  
of silence. If your machine has a short disconnect time, you may have to shorten the Quiet Detect Time.  
However, if the machine is interrupting callers in the middle of messages, you should set a longer Quiet Detect  
Time.  
Note  
• If there is a pause at the end of your answering machine message, make sure that the Quiet Detect Time is  
longer than this pause.  
• Setting Quiet Detect Time to 00 turns the function off. However, the machine will not be able to receive faxes  
sent using manual dialing (picking up the receiver, dialing the number, and pressing the [START] key (  
when the fax tone is heard).  
)
• If your answering machine is set to answer calls after more rings than the machine's number of rings setting,  
the machine will always answer first and thereby prevent callers from leaving messages in the answering  
machine.

INITIAL SETTINGS  
If Quiet Detect Time is not working properly...  
With some answering machines, there is simply no Quiet Detect Time that will allow both reception of faxes and  
uninterrupted voice messages. Even in this case, however, you can set up the machine to receive both phone and  
fax messages from callers on touch-tone lines. Follow this procedure:  
1. Set the Quiet Detect Time to 00.  
2. Alter your phone message to tell callers that they can send a fax by pressing the Remote Reception Number  
(factory set to 5), followed by the " " key twice.  
ANSWERING MACHINE BACKUP  
There may be times when the tape on your answering machine becomes full, or  
when the answering machine itself malfunctions. It is still possible to receive faxes even under these conditions, by  
turning on the Auto Receive function. The machine will automatically answer all calls after five rings. To use this

HOW TO USE THE FAX FUNCTION  
RESOLUTION  
To do this, press the [RESOLUTION] key one or more times until the desired resolution settings appear in the  
display, and then press the [ENTER] key.  
Your fax has five resolution settings:  
STANDARD  
Use STANDARD for ordinary originals. This setting gives you the fastest transmission.  
FINE  
Use FINE for improved reproduction, especially with originals containing small letters or fine drawings.  
SUPER FINE  
Use SUPER FINE when you need the highest quality of reproduction.  
FINE (HALF TONE)  
Use FINE (HALF TONE) if your original is a photograph or has gradations of color (such as a color original). This  
setting will produce a clearer image than Fine used alone.  
S. FINE (HALF TONE)  
Use S.FINE (HALF TONE) if your original is a photograph or has gradations of color (such as a color original). This  
setting will produce a clearer image than Super fine used alone.  
In order to transmit with FINE or SUPER FINE resolution, the receiving fax machine must also have that resolution.  
If it doesn't, the next best available setting will be used.  
If you do not change the setting, the resolution set using the RESOLUTION PRIORITY (p.37) setting will be  
automatically selected.

CONTRAST  
The fax automatically controls the contrast, but you can also control it manually. To do this, press the [CONTRAST]  
key one or more times until the desired contrast settings appear in the display, and then press the [ENTER] key. The  
three contrast levels are MEDIUM, DARK, and LIGHT.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

MEMORY  
Your machine has a memory area that can be used to store both incoming faxes and outgoing originals.  
Approximately 120 pages of average content can be held in memory for transmission and reception. Less can be  
held if any of the pages were scanned using fine or superfine resolution.  
Substitute Reception into Memory  
This is a back-up function that is automatically activated if your fax runs out of paper, the TD cartridge needs  
replacement (See the Operation Manual for general information.), or the paper jams.  
• If you received originals in memory because the fax ran out of paper, be sure to add paper which is the same size  
as the paper previously used. If not, the original print-out size may not match the size of the printing paper.  
Take care that the remaining memory does not become 7% or less, or you cannot receive any more faxes.  
Note  
When the machine is idle, the LCD shows the stand-by memory available. (See "ABOUT THE LIQUID CRYSTAL  
DISPLAY" (p.16))

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS  
POLLING TRANSMISSION (MEMORY POLLING)  
This function is used to transmit an original that has been scanned into memory to a fax machine that polls your fax  
machine. If desired, polling fax machines can be restricted to machines whose fax numbers have been programmed  
in your machine ("RESTRICTING POLLING MACHINES (POLLING SECURITY)" on page 77).  
To let other fax machines poll your fax machine, the original to be transmitted must be scanned into memory and the  
reception mode of your machine must be set to "Auto".  
You can select whether polling transmission will take place once or repeatedly. If once is selected, the original that  
was scanned into memory will be automatically deleted after polling transmission takes place. If repeated polling  
transmission is selected, the original will remain in memory until it is deleted.  
More than one original can be scanned into polling memory (all originals will transmitted when your machine is  
polled).  
Only one memory polling operation can be set up, and the polling machine must be capable of polling reception.  
The original(s) in polling memory will be transmitted when a fax machine calls your fax machine and requests polling  
transmission. Automatic fax reception is possible while your machine is on polling transmission standby.

TIMER OPERATIONS  
The timer function allows you to set a transmission or polling operation to be performed automatically at a time you  
specify. Up to five transmission operations or polling operations can be set at any one time, and the times they will  
be performed can be specified up to a week in advance.  
You can use this function, for example, to take advantage of lower night time telephone rates without having to be  
there when the operation is performed.  
For a timer transmission, scan the original into memory when you set the transmission. Scanning the original into  
memory is convenient because you do not have to worry about original mix-ups or forgetting to load the original.  
If the memory becomes full while the original is being scanned, "MEMORY FULL" will appear in the display.

When the network expansion kit is installed in the machine, a document or photo can be scanned into an image file  
and sent over a network or the Internet to a file server, e-mail destination, or your own computer.  
You can select from the following transmission methods as the destination where you wish to send the scanned  
image, depending on where you wish to send the scanned image data.  
1
1. The scanned image can be sent to a memory  
storage device on a network (a designated  
directory on an FTP server). (This is called  
"Scan to FTP" in this manual.)  
When sending a scanned image to an FTP  
server, an e-mail message can also be sent to a  
preset e-mail address to inform the recipient of  
the location of the scanned image data. (This is  
called "Scan to FTP (Hyperlink)" in this  
manual.)  
2. A scanned image can be sent to a computer  
connected to the same network as the  
machine. (This is called "Scan to Desktop" in  
this manual.)  
* Before Scan to Desktop can be performed, the  
software in the CD-ROM that accompanies the  
network expansion kit (AR-NB2 A) must be  
installed. For the procedure for installing the

Select the number of pages per image file.  
If you wish to use this scan mode as the default scan mode when storing  
destinations, select the "Default Scan Mode" checkbox.  
The "Default Scan Mode" is also used for Scan to E-mail when the e-mail  
address is directly entered or selected from an LDAP server.  
Default Scan Mode  
Not selected  
For normal text originals, a sufficiently legible image is produced when the color mode is set to "Mono 2  
gradation" and the resolution is 200 dpi or 300 dpi.  
Note  
The 600 dpi setting should only be used in cases where high-clarity image reproduction is required, such as a  
photograph or an illustration. Note that a high resolution setting will result in a larger file size, and transmission  
may not be successful if there is insufficient disk capacity in the server to which the image is sent (or if the  
administrator of the server has restricted the file size). If transmission is not successful, you can try such  
measures as reducing the number of scanned pages in the file or reducing the scan size setting for the original.  
To open the scanned image without using the software program in the CD-ROM that accompanies the network  
expansion kit, the recipient must have a viewer program that can open the image format (file type) that was  
selected as explained above.  
• The factory default setting for the image format produces the smallest file (File Type: TIFF, Compression Mode:  
MMR (G4)). If the recipient cannot open the image, try sending the image in a different format.  
If the number of scanned originals is not divisible by the number set in "Pages Per File", the last file will have less pages.  
The scan settings stored in a scan mode cannot be edited or deleted if the scan mode has been selected for a destination.

VARIOUS SERVER SETTINGS  
The procedures for using [Quick Setup] are explained here. [Quick Setup] is used to quickly configure only the  
required settings for "SMTP", "DNS", and "LDAP" servers. These settings are normally configured first.  
SMTP server: SMTP is used to transmit e-mail that is sent using Scan to E-mail or Scan to FTP (Hyperlink). To use  
these transmission methods, your SMTP server settings must be configured.  
DNS server: If you entered a host name in "Primary SMTP Server" or "Secondary SMTP Server" of "SMTP", you  
must also configure your DNS server settings.  
You will also need to configure your DNS server settings if host names will be entered in "Hostname  
or IP Address" when storing destinations for Scan to FTP (Scan to FTP (Hyperlink)) or Scan to  
Desktop.  
LDAP server: If mail addresses are managed on your network by an LDAP server, the e-mail addresses stored in  
the LDAP server can be used for Scan to E-mail.  
To allow the machine to use the e-mail addresses in the LDAP server, the LDAP server settings must  
be configured in the Web page.

TROUBLESHOOTING

TROUBLESHOOTING  
If a problem or question arises, try to solve the situation using the following information before contacting your  
authorized SHARP dealer.  
Image transmission problems are explained here. For image scanning problems, see the operation manual for the machine.  
Problem  
Cause and solution  
The selected "Scan Size" setting is smaller than the actual original size.  
Set the scan size to the actual original size (p.17) and make sure that the  
original is placed in the correct orientation (p.20).  
3
If you intentionally selected a size setting smaller than the actual original size,  
take into consideration the part of the original that you wish to scan when  
placing the original. For example, if the actual size is 8-1/2" x 11" and you  
selected 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" for the size setting, place the original so that the part  
that you wish to scan is within the 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" area at the left, center of the  
glass.  
The scanned image is clipped.  
The viewer program used by the recipient does not support the  
format of the received image data.  
Try selecting a different file type (TIFF / PDF / JPEG) and/or a different  
compression format (None, MH (G3), MMR (G4)) when sending the image  
data.  
The received image data cannot be  
opened.  
Otherwise, have the recipient use Sharpdesk or a viewer program that supports  
the above combinations of file types and compression formats.  
The first file may still remain in the cache of the file server client. Disable  
use of the cache in the client software.  
When the same file name is used for two  
successive Scan to FTP transmissions,  
the second file is not sent.  
There is a mistake in the stored destination information or the wrong  
destination was selected.  
Make sure that the correct destination information is stored. If there is a  
mistake, correct it (p.12).  
The recipient does not receive  
transmitted data.  
* If delivery by e-mail (Scan to E-mail) is unsuccessful, an error message such  
as "Undelivered Message" may be sent to the designated administrator's  
e-mail address. This information may help you determine the cause of the  
problem.  
Check the Web page to see if a limit has been set for the size of image  
files sent using Scan to E-mail (the factory default setting is "Unlimited").  
A limit can be set from 1 MB to 10 MB. Consult the administrator of the  
Web page to select a suitable limit (p.14).  
The amount of data that can be sent in one e-mail transmission is  
sometimes limited by the administrator of the mail server. Even if the  
amount of data sent is within the limit setting explained above, if it exceeds  
the limit set by the administrator of the mail server, the data will not be  
delivered to the recipient.  
The recipient does not receive data  
sent by e-mail (Scan to E-mail).  
Decrease the amount of data sent in the e-mail transmission (reduce the  
number of pages scanned). (Ask your mail server administrator what the  
data limit is for one e-mail transmission.)  
When there is a large amount of image information, the data file is also  
large and transmission takes a long time.  
Transmission takes a long time.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Pay attention to the following points when selecting scan settings to ensure that an image file  
Caution  
is created that suits the purpose of transmission in terms of image quality and file size.  
Scan settings are configured in the Web page.  
Color mode  
Select a color mode that is appropriate for the use of the document to be scanned so that the file size will not  
be larger than necessary.  
Scanning a document with the color mode set to gray scale or black and white will yield a smaller file size than  
scanning in color.  
Resolution  
For normal text originals, a sufficiently legible image is produced when the color mode is set to "Mono 2  
gradation" and the resolution is 200 dpi or 300 dpi.  
The 600 dpi setting should only be used in cases where high-clarity image reproduction is required, such as an  
original that includes photographs or illustrations. Note that a high-resolution setting will result in a larger file  
size and transmission may not be successful if there is insufficient disk capacity in the server to which the  
image is sent (or if the administrator of the server has restricted the file size). If transmission is not successful,  
you can try such measures as reducing the number of scanned pages in the file or reducing the scan size  
setting for the original.  
3
DISPLAY MESSAGES  
If a transmission error occurs when you send a scanned image, a message informing you of the error and an error  
code will appear in the operation panel on the machine.  
Error Code  
Solution  
Page  
Turn off the power and turn it back on. Consult with your network administrator to make  
sure that no problems exist on the network or in the server. If the error is not cleared after  
turning the power off and on, turn off the power and contact your dealer.  
CE-00  
CE-01  
Server access denied.  
The scanned image was not sent because a connection to the server could not be established.  
Make sure that the SMTP server settings or FTP server settings in the Web page are correct.  
The procedure for configuring the SMTP server is explained in "VARIOUS SERVER  
SETTINGS", and the procedure for editing Scan to FTP destination information is  
CE-02  
CE-04  
The scanned image was not sent because the server was busy or there was too much  
traffic. Wait briefly and then try again.  
CE-03  
CE-05  
The scanned image was not sent because the directory of the destination FTP server was not  
correct. Make sure that the correct FTP server information is configured in the Web page.  
The size of the scanned image file exceeds the upper limit set in "Maximum Size of File"  
in the Web page. Reduce the number of original pages scanned into the file, or change  
the upper limit set in "Maximum Size of File".  
CE-09  
CE-12  
The maximum number of destinations that can be searched has been exceeded.  
Increase the number of search characters to narrow the range of the LDAP search.  
The memory became full during scanning. Scan less pages, lower the resolution, or  
change the color mode so that the file size is smaller, and try scanning again.  
For the scan mode settings, see "STORING SCANNING SETTINGS". (See Help in the  
Web page for explanations of each of the settings.)  
MEMORY  
FULL  
IF YOUR E-MAIL IS RETURNED  
If a Scan to E-mail is not successfully transmitted, an e-mail informing you of this fact is sent to the return address  
configured in the SMTP server. If this happens, read the e-mail and determine the cause of the error, and then  
repeat the transmission.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
IMPORTANT POINTS WHEN USING SCAN TO E-MAIL  
Be very careful not to send image data files that are too large.  
Your mail server's system administrator may have placed a limit on the amount of data that can be sent in one e-mail  
transmission. If this limit is exceeded, the e-mail will not be delivered to the recipient. Even if there is no limit and  
your e-mail is successfully delivered, a large data file may take a long time to be received and place a heavy burden  
on the recipient's network, depending on the recipient's network (Internet) connection environment.  
If large image data files are repeatedly sent, the resulting burden on the network may slow down the speed of other,  
unrelated data transmissions and in some cases, may even cause the mail server or network to go down.  
The images on the following page will produce the following file sizes when scanned as 8-1/2" x 11" size or A4 size

* All sizes are for image files created in TIFF MMR (G4) format.  
If multiple images are scanned, the file size will be approximately (Size of each image as indicated above) x  
(Number of images scanned).  
Although the actual limitation depends on your network environment, a general guideline for the maximum file size  
for Scan to E-mail is 2000 KB (2 MB). In cases where you need to send multiple documents, try such measures as  
lowering the resolution mode.  
Original image samples

• Distributing documents by e-mail or printing a hard copy is as easy as dragging a file onto an icon on the  
Sharpdesk OutputZone.  
• Multiple files can be combined together into a single new file. After creating a combination file, the page order can  
be changed or new pages added.  
• You can search for an image or text file using a single word, phrase, or list of words. You can also perform a  
detailed search by specifying the file type, modified data, or a keyword.  
• A color image scanned on the machine can be saved as a PDF file using a high compression ratio to reduce the  
file size. (To view a PDF file saved using a high compression ratio, the latest version of Adobe Reader is required.)  
NETWORK SCANNER TOOL  
This is a utility that helps you use Scan to Desktop. It configures the necessary settings in the Digital Laser  
Copier/Printer and client computer to receive data. In addition, Network Scanner Tool will automatically start  
Sharpdesk upon receiving image data.  
The scanned image received by your computer can automatically be:  
• Saved in a folder.  
• Passed to the application set in Network Scanner Tool.  
• Sent as e-mail.  
• Saved in Sharpdesk.

Printer Status Monitor (for general users)  
Before using the Printer Status Monitor  
Note the following points before using the Printer Status  
Monitor.  
"Printer Status Monitor" is on the "Software CD-ROM" (Disc 1).  
This allows the user to check on the computer screen whether  
or not the machine is able to print.  
Printing via a server  
It provides information on error states such as paper misfeeds  
and shows the configuration of the machine (number of trays,  
etc.) by means of illustrations. Available paper sizes and paper  
remaining are also indicated.  
When the first print job is executed after starting up the Printer  
Status Monitor, the machine's IP address is automatically set in  
the Printer Status Monitor.  
Printer Administration Utility (for administrators)  
Direct printing without a server  
"Printer Administration Utility" is on the "Software CD-ROM"  
(Disc 2).  
Install and configure the software as explained in "INSTALLING  
THE PRINTER DRIVER" in the software setup guide for  
network printer. (This is not necessary if the software has  
already been installed and configured.)  
This allows the administrator to check information on supplies  
and error states of the machine and other SHARP printers  
(compatible with the Printer Administration Utility) that are  
connected to the network. Settings can also be changed via the  
utility.  
In order to use the Printer Status Monitor and Printer  
Note  
Administration Utility, the machine must be connected  
to a network.  
To install the Printer Status Monitor, see the network  
expansion kit online manual (for setup).

This chapter explains how to solve network connection problems. For information on paper, removing misfeeds, and replacing the  
toner cartridge, see the operation manual for the machine.  
Check the connections  
Is the LAN cable disconnected?  
Points to check on the Macintosh  
Make sure that the LAN cable is firmly inserted in the  
connectors on the network expansion kit and your computer.  
For information on connecting the LAN cable, see software  
setup guide for network printer.  
Is AppleTalk enabled?  
In Mac OS X, click "Network" in "System Preferences" and  
select Ethernet in "Show". Click the "AppleTalk" tab and  
make sure that "Make AppleTalk Active" is selected.  
In Mac OS 9.0 to 9.2.2, open the "Chooser" from the Apple  
menu and make sure that "Active" is selected. Printing is not  
possible if "Active" is not selected.  
Is the machine configured for use on the same  
network as the computer?  
The machine cannot be used if it is not connected to the  
same network as the computer, or if it is not configured for  
use on the network.  
Is "Ethernet" selected for the "Connect via" of  
AppleTalk? (When using Mac OS 9.0 to 9.2.2.)  
Open "AppleTalk" from the "Control Panels" and make sure  
that "Ethernet" is selected in the "Connect via" menu.  
Printing is not possible if "Ethernet" is not selected.  
For more information, consult your network administrator.  
Points to check in Windows  
Are you using a port that was created with Standard  
TCP/IP Port?  
If you are using a port created using Standard TCP/IP Port in  
Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista, printing may not take  
place correctly if "SNMP Status Enabled" is selected in the  
port settings of the printer driver. Open the printer driver  
properties and click the "Configure Port" button on the  
"Ports" tab. In the window that appears, make sure the  
"SNMP Status Enabled" checkbox is not selected
