Frequently Asked Questions - AL-1640 SHARP

How do I replace the toner cartridge in the Sharp AL-1640?

Open the front cover, pull out the old toner cartridge, and remove it. Unpack the new Sharp toner cartridge, shake it gently from side to side for about 10 seconds, then insert it into the slot until it clicks securely. Close the front cover and print a few test copies to confirm the new toner is working.

How do I clear a paper jam in the Sharp AL-1640?

Turn off the copier and open the side cover. Gently pull the jammed paper from the roller area, being careful not to tear it. If paper is stuck in the fuser, wait for it to cool down before removing. After clearing the jam, close the side cover and turn the copier back on. Ensure the paper tray is properly loaded to avoid re-jams.

What types of paper can I use with the AL-1640?

The AL-1640 supports plain paper, recycled paper, and transparencies in sizes from A4 to Letter. Recommended paper weight is 60 to 90 g/m². For best results, use high-quality plain paper and avoid rough, coated, or pre-punched sheets that may cause feeding problems.

How do I make two-sided copies on the Sharp AL-1640?

The AL-1640 does not have automatic duplexing, but you can manually copy on both sides. First, copy on one side following the standard procedure. Then take the output sheet, place it back in the paper tray (or bypass tray) with the blank side facing up, and feed it for the second side. Use the same original orientation to align text correctly.

How do I reduce or enlarge copies?

Place your original on the glass. Press the AE copy ratio key or use the zoom keys to adjust. You can select preset ratios like 50%, 70%, 86%, 100%, 141%, or 200%, or set a custom ratio using the % keys. After selecting the desired ratio, press the START button to make the copy.

The copier displays 'Call for service' error, what should I do?

This error indicates a malfunction that requires technical service. First, turn off the copier, wait a few minutes, and turn it back on. If the message persists, note the error code displayed and contact a qualified Sharp service provider. Do not attempt to disassemble internal parts yourself, as this may void the warranty.

How do I clean the scanner glass of the AL-1640?

Turn off the copier and open the document cover. Dampen a soft, lint-free cloth with water or a mild neutral cleaner. Wipe the platen glass and the white document pad, then dry with a separate dry cloth. Avoid using alcohol, ammonia, or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the glass surface.

Can I connect the Sharp AL-1640 to a computer for printing?

Yes, the AL-1640 becomes a printer when the optional printer controller kit is installed. Connect the copier to your computer via a USB cable or via a network interface if the network kit is present. Install the appropriate drivers from the included CD or Sharp's website, and select the AL-1640 in your document's print dialog.

How do I reset the maintenance counter after replacing the drum?

After installing a new drum unit, the copier may need the maintenance counter reset. Turn on the copier, then press and hold the 'D' (or 'Clear') key while pressing the 'Start' key for about 5 seconds until the display shows 'M' or 'Maintenance'. Use the numeric keys to enter the code 20, then press 'Start' to reset. Consult your user manual for exact key combinations.

What is the recommended warm-up procedure for the AL-1640?

Plug the copier into a grounded AC outlet. Press the POWER button to turn it on. The copier will begin a warm-up cycle that takes about 45 seconds, after which the indicator lights up and the display shows 'Ready'. Avoid turning it off and on frequently; instead, use the automatic power save mode to reduce energy consumption.

COPIER INSTALLATION

Improper installation may damage the copier. Please note the following during initial installation and whenever the copier is moved.

Caution

If the copier is moved from a cool place to a warm place, condensation may form inside the copier. Operation in this condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave the copier at room temperature for at least 2 hours before use.

Do not install your copier in areas that are:

• damp, humid, or very dusty

• exposed to direct sunlight

- poorly ventilated

- subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air conditioner or heater.

The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection.

Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the specified voltage and current requirements. Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.

Note

Connect the copier to a power outlet which is not used for other electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is connected to the same outlet, the light may flicker.

Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing and proper ventilation.

A small amount of ozone is produced within the copier during operation. The emission level is insufficient to cause any health hazard.

NOTE:

The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m ³ ) calculated as an 8 hr. time-weighted average concentration.

However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable odor, it is advisable to place the copier in a ventilated area.

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

Be careful in handling the copier as follows to maintain the performance of this copier.

Do not drop the copier, subject it to shock or strike it against any object.

Do not expose the drum cartridge to direct sunlight.

POWER SAVE MODES

The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption thereby reducing 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.

- User programs

The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time have been preset at the factory to 90 sec. for preheat mode and 30 min. for auto power shut-off mode. These times can be changed using user programs. It is suggested that you set appropriate times according to the actual usage of the copier. (See page 32.)

Preheat mode

When the copier enters the preheat mode, the POWER SAVE (2) indicator will light up and other indicators will remain on or off as before. In this condition, the fuser in the copier is maintained at a lower heat level, thereby saving power. The preheat level is, however, high enough to allow the copier to come to a ready condition or begin copying within 10 seconds after any key input or copier operation such as paper tray operation is performed.

Auto power shut-off mode

When the copier enters the auto power shut-off mode, the POWER SAVE indicator will light up and all other indicators will go out. The auto power shut-off mode saves more power but requires a longer time to warm up before copying can begin.

As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency.

Setting the power save modes

The time that elapses before the copier enters a power save mode after any operation is made can be set manually. This time is set with user program No. 2 for the preheat mode and user program No. 3 for the auto power shut-off mode. For these settings, see page 32.

• The copier will enter the preheat mode first and then the auto power shut-off mode after a preset time has elapsed when no copier operation has been made.
• If conflicting settings are made with user programs No. 3 and No. 5, the last program set will have priority.

Copying from the preheat mode

Make desired copier selections and press the START (💡) key using the normal copying procedure.

• When any key input is made or any other copier operation is made, the POWER SAVE (②) indicator will start to blink.
• When the START (⑥) key is pressed, the START key ( ) ◎ indicator will go out and copying will start within 10 seconds. The POWER SAVE (⑦) indicator will go out when copying starts.

USER MAINTENANCE

Proper care is essential for clean, sharp copies. Please take a few minutes to regularly clean your copier.

Original table and platen cover

Stains or dirt on the original table or platen cover will also be copied. Wipe the original table and platen cover with a soft, clean cloth.

GENUINE SUPPLIES

Photoconductive drum

The AL-1600/AL-1610 Copiers have advanced process control technology which improves copy quality uniformity. This feature stabilizes copy quality throughout the life of the photoconductive drum by automatically compensating for the changes in drum characteristics due to wear, operator use patterns, and environmental conditions. The automatic adjustments are made in response to a sensor that detects the reflectance characteristics of a special area of the drum.

This feature requires drums containing the special reflectance area (recommended SHARP genuine photoconductive drum), to prevent low image density copies from poor process control and possible damage to the machine. If you use other drums, the process control system cannot run properly.

Proper storage

1. Store the supplies in a location that is:

• clean and dry,
  • at a stable temperature,
  • not exposed to direct sunlight.

2. Store copy paper in the wrapper and lying flat.

- Paper stored out of the wrapper or in packages standing on end may curl or get damp, resulting in paper misfeeds.

Section 4. Hazardous Identification (Emergency Overview)

Toner is a fine, black powder possessing no immediate hazard. There are no anticipated carcinogenic effects from exposure based on animal tests performed using toner. When used as intended according to instructions, studies do not indicate any symptoms of fibrosis will occur.

Section 5. Health Hazard Data

Route(s) of Entry:	Inhalation?Yes	Skin?No	Ingestion?Possible but very unusual.
Health Hazards:	Acute oral toxicity---- LDL0of this toner is over 2,000mg/kg.Mutagenicity ---- The result of Ames test is negative.
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/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.

Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Minimal irritation to respiratory tract may occur as with exposure to any non-toxic dust.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: None

Emergency and First Aid Procedures:

Inhalation; Remove to fresh air. If effects occur, consult medical personnel.

Eye; In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with water for 15 minutes.
