1. Installation
Unpacking Checklist
Before setting up, make sure you have all of the following items. If any are missing, contact your dealer.
Power cord
Toner cartridge
Drum cartridge
ADF exit tray
Received document tray






Rapid Key labels

Paper size labels

National character labels

Operation manual
Points to keep in mind when setting up

Do not place the machine in direct sunlight.

Do not place the machine near heaters or air conditioners.

Keep dust away from the machine.

Keep the area around the machine clear.
About condensation
If the machine is moved from a cold to a warm place, it is possible that condensation may form on the scanning glass, preventing proper scanning of documents for transmission. To remove the condensation, turn on the power and wait approximately two hours before using the machine.
Connections
Connecting the power cord
Connect the female end of the power cord to the fax machine as shown. Insert the male end into a 220-230 V, 50 Hz, earthed (2-prong) AC outlet.
Caution: The power outlet must be installed near the machine and must be easily accessible.
Important!
The fax machine requires its own dedicated power outlet. The power outlet must not be shared with any other devices. In particular, do not use an extension cord to connect multiple devices to the outlet.

Note: If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we recommend that you install surge protectors for the power and telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased at most telephone specialty stores.
Connecting the telephone line cord
Insert one end of the line cord into the socket on the back of the machine marked TEL. LINE. Insert the other end into a standard single-line wall telephone socket.

Note: If you are connecting the machine to a PBX, you will need to make appropriate settings for Option Setting 35.
Connecting a telephone (optional)
If desired, you can connect a telephone to the TEL. SET socket on the back of the machine.

Attaching the ADF exit tray
Insert the protrusion on the right side of the machine into the hole in the right side of the ADF exit tray ①, then bend the tray slightly and insert so that the protrusion on the left side of the machine goes into the hole on the left side of the ADF exit tray ②. Pull out the tray extension ③.

Attaching the received document tray
Slide the received document tray into the machine as shown. When it stops, lift the end slightly and push in so that the tray locks into place.

Important!
The received document tray must be attached for the fax machine to operate properly.
Attaching the national character labels
If a language other than English will be used for the display language (see LANGUAGE SELECT on page 129) attach the national character labels for the language as shown below. During procedures that require the entry of text, the keys below the labels can be pressed to enter the corresponding characters.

Verification Stamp option
Note: This feature is available as an option. Consult your dealer if you wish to use this feature.
When transmitting a document, you can have the fax machine stamp each document page as it is scanned. After scanning, you can check to see if all documents have been stamped to verify that no double feeds occurred. (A double feed occurs when two pages are fed through the scanner at once, which means that one of the pages is not scanned.)
To use this function, have your dealer install the Verification Stamp option, and then set Option Setting 29 to ON as explained on page 128.
Installing the Print Caridges
Follow the steps below to install or replace the toner and drum cartridges.
The initial starter toner cartridge included with the fax machine can print approximately 3000 A4-size pages (4% coverage of each page; continuous printing).
The replacement toner cartridge (FO-59DC) can print approximately 6000 A4-size pages.
The drum cartridge (FO-47DR) can print approximately 20,000 A4-size pages.
1 Press the cover release to open the print compartment cover.
- Caution!
The fusing unit inside the print compartment becomes very hot during operation. Be careful not to touch the inside of the compartment.

2 If you are replacing the toner cartridge, remove the old cartridge and dispose of it according to local regulations.
Go directly to Step 5 if you are only replacing the toner cartridge and not the drum cartridge.
- If you are replacing the drum cartridge but not the toner cartridge, remove the toner cartridge and place it on a sheet of paper.

To make the cartridge more compact for disposal, press the buttons on the ends of the handle and fold the handle down.

3 If you are replacing the drum cartridge, remove the old cartridge and dispose of it according to local regulations.

4 Remove the new drum cartridge from its packaging. Insert the drum cartridge into the print compartment.
- Caution! Excessive exposure to light will damage the drum cartridge. Install the cartridge promptly after removing it from its packaging.
- Make sure the drum cartridge is inserted in as far as it will go.

5 If you are installing a new toner cartridge, remove the new toner cartridge from its packaging. Remove the tape from the cartridge and then open the cartridge handle so that it stands straight up.

6 Shake as indicated by the arrows to distribute the toner evenly within the cartridge.
- If the toner is still lumpy after shaking, the gears in the cartridge may make a noticeable sound when the print compartment cover is closed after installing the cartridge. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.

7 Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and insert it into the print compartment.
- Make sure the toner cartridge clicks into place.
- The handle can be left standing up.

8 Close the print compartment cover.

9 Reset the drum counter by pressing LIFE (flip up the Rapid Key overlay), 3, and START/ ENTER.
- Note: The toner counter automatically resets each time you replace the toner cartridge. There is normally no need to reset the toner counter manually. Should you find it necessary to manually reset the toner counter, press LIFE (flip up the Rapid Key overlay), ②, and START/ENTER.
Note: The print compartment cover may become noticeably warm if a large number of pages are successively printed. This is normal and does not indicate a problem in the machine.
When to replace the toner cartridge
When the toner cartridge nears empty (about 100 pages can still be printed), the toner cartridge indicator on the operation panel will blink. When the toner cartridge is empty, the toner cartridge indicator will light steadily and REPLACE TONER will appear in the display. Printing will no longer be possible. Use the following replacement toner cartridge:
Sharp FO-59DC toner cartridge
Hint:
When the toner cartridge nears empty, try taking it out of the machine and shaking it. This may increase the number of pages that can be printed before the toner runs out.
When to replace the drum cartridge
When the drum cartridge nears the end of its life, the ALARM indicator on the operation panel will blink and DRUM LIFE REACHED will appear in the display (this message first appears approximately 1000 pages before the drum needs replacement). Use the following replacement drum cartridge:
Sharp FO-47DR drum cartridge
Loading Printing Paper
You can load up to 250 sheets of A4-size paper (60-80 g/m²) in the paper tray.
A paper cassette is available as an option. Up to 500 sheets of A4-sized paper can be loaded in the paper cassette. To have the cassette installed, consult your dealer.
Important: Do not use the back side of paper that has already been printed on.
Note: If you need to add paper to the tray or cassette while paper still remains, remove the remaining paper and combine it into a single stack with the new paper.

Loading multiple pages at once (A4-size: max. 50 pages, B4-size: max. 20 pages):

Minimum size

Maximum size

Minimum weight
Maximum weight
80 g/m²
Maximum scanning area
The area of the document that the fax machine can scan is slightly smaller than the actual document size. Any letters or graphics outside this area will not be scanned.
Maximum scanning width: 208 mm
Maximum scanning length: The length of the document minus 4 mm from the top and bottom of the document.
Other restrictions
The scanner cannot recognise yellow, greenish yellow, or light blue ink.
Ink, glue, and correcting fluid on documents must be dry before they pass through the document feeder.
All clips, staples, and pins must be removed from documents before loading in the feeder. If these are not removed, they may damage the machine.
Documents which are patched, taped, torn, smaller than the minimum size, carbon backed, easily smudged, or have a slick, coated surface should be photocopied, and the copy loaded in the feeder.
Loading the Document
Up to 50 A4-sized pages (20 B4-sized pages) can be placed in the feeder at one time. The pages will automatically feed into the machine starting from the bottom page.
If you need to send or copy more than 50 pages, place the additional pages gently and carefully in the feeder just before the last page is scanned. Do not try to force them in, as this may cause double-feeding or jamming.
If your document consists of several large or thick pages which must be loaded one at a time, insert each page into the feeder as the previous page is being scanned. Insert gently to prevent double-feeding.
1 Adjust the document guides to the width of your document.

2 Place the document face down and push it gently into the document feeder. The top edge of the document should enter the machine first.
- The feeder will draw the leading edge of the document into the machine. SEND READY will appear in the display.

Note: When inserting a large number of pages in the feeder, slant the front end of the stack so that the bottom pages enter first.

3 Adjust the resolution and/or contrast settings (if desired) and then dial the receiving machine as explained in the following sections.
Adjusting the Resolution and Contrast
If desired, you can adjust the resolution and contrast before sending a document.
Resolution
The fax machine has four resolution settings:
STANDARD
Use STANDARD for ordinary documents. This setting gives you the fastest and most economical transmission.
FINE
Use FINE for documents containing small letters or fine drawings.
SUPER FINE
Use SUPER FINE for documents containing very small letters or very fine drawings.
HALF TONE
Use HALF TONE for photographs and illustrations. The original will be reproduced in 64 shades of gray.
The default resolution setting is STANDARD. If you don't adjust the resolution before sending a document, the fax machine will automatically use STANDARD resolution.
In order to transmit in 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.
The resolution settings are only effective for transmitting and copying a document. They are not effective for receiving a document.
To adjust the resolution setting, press RESOLUTION one or more times until the indicator light next to the desired setting comes on.

Contrast
The fax machine has three contrast settings:
AUTO
Use AUTO for normal documents.
DARK

If the fax machines you want to poll have all been programmed into one Group Key, you can poll them by simply pressing that Group Key. (The procedure for programming Group Keys is explained on page 90.)
Make sure no documents are in the feeder before you press the Group Key.
Being polled (Memory polling)
To let another fax machine poll your fax machine, you must first store the document(s) in memory using the following procedure. Transmission will take place when the other fax machine calls your fax machine and activates polling. You can choose whether to allow polling only once, or an unlimited number of times. In the latter case, your fax machine can be used as an electronic "bulletin board".
Multiple documents can be stored for memory polling. To add a document to others already stored, simply repeating the storing procedure (note that if Department Control is activated, documents cannot be added by a department other than that which stored the first document). When polling is initiated, the polling machine will receive all documents stored.
If you allow polling only once, the document(s) will be automatically cleared from memory after polling. If you allow polling an unlimited number of times, the document will remain in memory until you clear it as explained in the following section, Clearing a document.

9. Troubleshooting
Problems and Solutions
Line error
| Problem | Solution |
| LINE ERROR appears in the display, and/or a transaction report is printed out with COM. E- and a number from 0 to 31 in the NOTE column. | Try the transaction again. If the error persists, check the following: • Check the connection. The cord from the TEL. LINE socket to the wall socket should be no longer than two meters. • Make sure there are no modem devices sharing the same telephone line. • Check with the other party to make sure their fax machine is functioning properly. • Have your telephone line checked for line noise. • Try connecting the fax machine to a different telephone line. • If the problem still occurs, your fax machine may need service. |
Dialling and transmission problems
| Problem | Solution |
| Dialling is not possible. | Make sure the power cord is properly plugged into a power outlet. Make sure that the telephone line is properly connected to both the TEL. LINE socket and the wall socket. |
| The power is on, but no transmission takes place. | Make sure that the receiving machine has paper. Make sure that the telephone line cord is plugged into the TEL. LINE socket, and not the TEL. SET socket. If the receiving machine is in manual mode with no attendant, reception will not be possible. If the receiving machine is not a Sharp model, make sure it is G3 compatible. Check the display for error messages. Press the SPEAKER key and check for a dial tone. |
| Nothing is printed at the receiving end. | Make sure that the document for transmission is placed face down in the feeder. |
| A distorted image is received at the other end. | If ECM mode (Option Setting 9) is turned off, noise on the telephone line may cause distortion. Try sending the document again. Make a copy of the document on your fax machine. If the copy is also distorted, your fax machine may need service. |
Reception and copying problems
| Problem | Solution |
| The fax machine doesn’t receive documents automatically. | Make sure that the reception mode is set to AUTO. |
| The received document is faint. | Ask the other party to send higher contrast documents. If the contrast is still too low, your fax machine may need service. Make a copy or print a report to check your machine’s printing ability. The toner cartridge may need replacement. |
| The printed image appears dirty and/or the paper jams frequently. | Have a service technician clean the print compartment. |
| The power is on, but no reception takes place. | Make sure that the wall socket is connected to the TEL LINE socket, and not the TEL SET socket. |
| Received images are distorted. | If ECM mode (Option Setting 9) is turned off, noise on the telephone line may cause distortion. Have the other party try sending the document again. If the other machine has ECM mode, make sure this feature is turned on in both fax machines (see Option Setting 9). Make a copy or print a report on your fax machine. If the copy or report is also distorted, your fax machine may need service. The drum cartridge may be damaged. Try a new drum cartridge. The fusing unit and transfer roller may need to be replaced during the life of the machine if print quality begins to deteriorate. This must be done by a service technician. |
| The quality of copies is poor and/or black lines appear. | ·Any dirt or material on the scanning glass will cause lines to appear on copies and transmitted faxes. Clean the scanning glass as explained in Chapter 8. |
| Dots appear at regular intervals on received documents and copies. | ·The drum cartridge may be damaged. Replace the drum cartridge. |
| The printing paper comes out blank when you try to receive a document. | ·Make sure that the document is loaded properly in the feeder of the transmitting machine. Make a copy or print a report to confirm the printing ability of your machine. |
General problems
| Problem | Solution |
| Nothing appears in the display. | ·Make sure the power cord is properly plugged into a power outlet and the power switch is turned on. ·Connect another electrical appliance to the outlet to see if it has power. |
| The machine does not respond when you press any of its keys. | ·If a beep sound is not made when you press the keys, turn off the power switch and then turn it on again several seconds later. |
| Automatic document feeding does not work for transmission or copying. | ·Check the size and weight of the document (see Transmittable Documents in Chapter 2). |
| No reception occurs when polling is attempted. | ·Make sure you have not run out of paper. ·Make sure the transmitting machine is in automatic reception mode. ·If the transmitting machine has polling security, make sure that your fax number has been entered both in your machine and in the transmitting machine. |
