Maximum weight

text_image
20 lbs. (80 g/m²)Note: 11" x 17" paper must be loaded one page at a time.
Maximum scanning area
The area of the document that the 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:
10 inches (256 mm)
Maximum scanning length:
The length of the document minus 0.16 inches (4 mm) from the top and bottom of the document.
Other restrictions
◆ The scanner cannot recognize 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 letter-sized pages (20 legal-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.
◆ If there are folds on the document, smooth out the folds before loading the document. Unsmoothed folds may prevent correct scanning.
When scanning a very long document, gently hold the sides of the document while it feeds into the scanner to prevent skewing.
1 Adjust the document guides to the width of your document.

natural_image

natural_image
Simple circular diagram with horizontal lines and a black arrow pointing left (no text or symbols)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 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. |
| ULTRA FINE | Use ULTRA FINE for the highest level of document reproduction. |
| 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 machine will automatically use STANDARD resolution.
In order to transmit in FINE, SUPER FINE, or ULTRA FINE resolution, the receiving 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.

Automatic redialing
If you use automatic dialing (including Direct Keypad Dialing) and the line is busy, the machine will automatically redial the number. The machine is set at the factory to make 2 redialing attempts at intervals of 5 minutes.
To cancel automatic redialing, cancel the job as explained in Checking and canceling stored transmission jobs on page 51.
If desired, you can change the number of redial attempts with Option Setting 6, and the interval at which redialing takes place with Option Setting 7 (see page 203).
◆ Under certain conditions (for example if a person answers the call on a telephone), automatic redialing may stop before the set number of redialing attempts are made.
Memory Retransmission
If a line error occurs during any type of memory transmission, your fax will automatically redial the number and attempt to complete the transmission. Retransmission will begin from the page which was being transmitted when the error occurred.
The machine has been set at the factory to make 10 attempts at retransmission, with each attempt made immediately after the previous attempt. If desired, you can change the number of attempts by changing Option Setting 17, and have the fax wait a selected number of minutes between each attempt by changing Option Setting 18 (see page 206).
◆ The numbering of pages retransmitted will begin from "1" again.
If an error or power failure occurs during transmission of a cover sheet, retransmission will not take place.
◆ To cancel retransmission, cancel the job as explained in Checking and canceling stored transmission jobs on page 51.

Verification Stamp Option
When transmitting a document, you can have the 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 page 209.
PC Fax Function (Requires the FO-LN1 Option)
The PC-Fax function allows you to fax documents directly from your computer. This saves you the trouble of printing a document and then faxing it from the machine.
Important: The PC-Fax function can only be used to send faxes. It cannot be used to receive faxes to your computer.
To use the PC Fax function,
◆ The FO-LN1 network interface kit must be installed in the machine. (This kit is also used for the network scanner and printer options explained in the following chapters.)
◆ The PC-Fax driver must be installed in your computer. The PC-Fax driver is installed from the CD-ROM in the FO-LN1 network interface kit.
The Status Monitor can also be installed to monitor the status of faxes sent from your computer using the PC-Fax driver. The Status Monitor notifies you when transmission is completed and alerts you if an error occurs.
System requirements
To use the PC-Fax driver, you must have one of the following versions of Windows:
Windows 98/ME/NT 4.0/2000/XP
Installing the PC-Fax driver in your computer
To install the PC-Fax driver in your computer, see the installation guide in the CD-ROM in the FO-LN1 network interface kit. The installation guide ("Installation Guide.pdf") is located in the PC-FAX folder of the CD-ROM.
Using the PC-Fax function
To fax a document from your computer, open the document in the application used to create it and select Print from the File menu. In the Print window, select "SHARP FO-DC Series FAX" for the printer and then click OK.
A window will appear to let you enter the destination fax number (or select it from the address book) and select any other fax settings. When finished, click OK. The document will be sent to the machine, which will then dial the fax number and fax the document to the recipient.
For detailed information on using the PC-Fax function, open the Help file for the PC-Fax driver.
3. Network Scanner Option
Introduction
The FO-NS2 Network Scanner Expansion Kit allows you to scan a document and directly transmit the image to an e-mail address (Scan to E-mail), FTP server (Scan to FTP), or computer desktop on your network (Scan to Desktop). To use this option, the machine must be connected to a network.
Depending on the file format selected for the image, the recipient can view it with Adobe Acrobat Reader ^® , any Tiff-compatible viewer such as Imaging ^® , or in the case of Scan to Desktop, SharpDesk.

Scan destinations can be stored in Rapid Keys on the machine, for easy one-touch scanning and transmission.
Steps required for setup
The following steps are required to use the network scanner option. The steps must be completed in the order shown.
- Your dealer must install the FO-LN1 network interface kit and the FO-NS2 network scanner kit, and enter the network scanner product key. The machine must be connected to the network.
- Your network administrator must decide whether the machine will be assigned a permanent IP address, or receive an address automatically from a DHCP server (assigning a permanent IP address is recommended; if DHCP is used, the lease time for the address should be set to unlimited). If a permanent IP address is to be assigned, the network administrator must determine what address will be used, and identify the subnet mask and gateway. Once this information has been determined, the IP address setting should be completed in the machine as explained on page 76.
☐ Permanent IP address ☐ DHCP server IP address ( . . . . ) Subnet mask ( . . . . ) Gateway ( . . . . )
- The following information must be entered in the Web page in the machine using a Web browser on a computer connected to the same network. This procedure is explained on page 80. Obtain the information from your network administrator.
-The IP address or host name of your e-mail server
IP address ( . . . ) Host name ( )
-The IP address of your DNS server ( )
-Your domain name ( )
-Your network administrator's e-mail address ( )
- Scan to E-mail setup must be completed as explained on page 85.
- To use Scan to Desktop, you must install the Network Scanner Tool and Sharpdesk programs in your computer. These programs are installed from the CD-ROM that comes with the network scanner kit (see page 97 for installation instructions). User's guides in PDF format for the programs are also included on the CD-ROM.
- Destinations for Scan to E-mail and Scan to FTP can be programmed into Rapid Key and Speed Dial numbers using the Web page in the machine. These procedures are explained on page 82. Scan to E-mail destinations can also be programmed using the operation panel of the machine as explained on page 90. To use a Rapid Key or Speed Dial number to transmit a scanned document, see pages 90 and 92. To transmit a scanned document to an e-mail address without using a Rapid Key or Speed Dial number, see page 88.
Setting the IP Address
Once your dealer has installed the network scanner option and the machine is connected to the network, the network administrator or administrator of the machine should use the following procedure to set the IP address of the machine.
Note: Although “DHCP” is available as a setting for the IP address (this means that the machine automatically obtains an address from a DHCP server), it is recommended that a permanent IP address be assigned to the machine. If DHCP must be used, it is recommended that the DHCP lease time for the IP address be set to unlimited. To check the IP address currently assigned to the machine when DHCP is used, print out the network setting list as explained on page 79.

Mail Server and DNS Server Settings
Settings for your E-mail server and DNS server must be configured in order to use the network scanner function. To configure the settings, access the machine's Web page from a computer that is connected to the same network as the machine. The Web page can be displayed with your Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or later, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or later).
Accessing the Web page in the machine
To access the Web page in the machine, type in the IP address of the machine in your browser in the format http://XXX.XXX.X.X, where the X's are the IP address (the number of digits between periods will vary depending on the address). If you need to check the IP address of the machine, print out the network settings as explained on page 79.
Mail server and DNS server
To configure your mail server and DNS server settings, click E-mail & DNS Setup in the menu at the left of the Web page. Enter the IP address or host name of your e-mail server in E-mail Server, the e-mail address of your network administrator in System Administrator Address, the IP address of your DNS server in DNS Server, and your domain name in Domain Name. Select your time zone from the list in Time Zone. Note that the IP address of your DNS server must be entered if you enter a host name instead of an IP address in E-mail Server. This is also true if host names will be used for Scan to FTP or Scan to Desktop destinations.
If "DHCP" was selected for the IP address of the machine, the IP address of the DNS server appears automatically and cannot be changed.

◆ Scan to E-mail can be performed by manually entering the destination e-mail address at the time of transmission, or by using a Rapid Key or Speed Dial number. A Scan to E-mail destination can be stored in a Rapid Key or Speed Dial number using the Web page, or using the operation panel on the machine (to use the operation panel, see page 94).
To use Scan to FTP, the destination must be previously stored in a Rapid Key or Speed Dial number. A Scan to FTP destination can only be stored in a Rapid Key or Speed Dial number using the Web page.
To use Scan to Desktop, the Network Scanner Tool and SharpDesk programs must be installed in the destination computer. During installation and setup the Network Scanner Tool automatically stores the computer as a Scan to Desktop destination, and for this reason, the Web page should not be used to store Scan to Desktop destinations. However, the Web page can be used to change the selected file format for a Scan to Desktop destination, copy a Scan to Desktop destination into a different address book, or delete a Scan to Desktop destination if the Network Scanner Tool has been uninstalled from the computer.
- Fax destinations can also be stored in Rapid Keys and Speed Dial numbers using the Web page.
Storing destinations in the Web page
To store a destination, click the desired destination type (E-mail, FTP, Fax or Group) under Destination Management in the Web page menu.

Unlike the case where a scanner is directly connected to your computer, scanning using Scan to Desktop cannot be directly initiated from a scanning application in your computer. Instead, scanning is begun by pressing the Rapid Key or Speed Dial number on the machine that contains your computer as a Scan to Desktop destination. To use Scan to Desktop, the Network Scanner Tool must be running in your computer (it starts and runs automatically in the background when you power up your computer).
Your computer is automatically stored as a Scan to Desktop destination in a Rapid Key or Speed Dial number when you install the Network Scanner Tool. After you install and set up the Network Scanner Tool, access the Web page in the machine from your browser on your computer, and click Destination Management in the menu to see which Rapid Key or Speed Dial number your computer is stored in. This will be the Rapid Key or Speed Dial number you will use to scan documents to your computer.
Scan to E-mail Setup
To use the Scan to E-mail function, the subject and sender information (name and e-mail address) that appear when an image is sent to an e-mail recipient must be entered, and the file format for the scanned image must be selected. (Note: The file format set in this procedure does not apply to Scan to E-mail using a Rapid Key or Speed Dial number.)
The preset subject is “Scanned image from FO-DCXXX” (where “XXX” is “500” on the FO-DC500 and FO-DC525, and “600” on the FO-DC600), and the preset file format is “TIFF/G4”.
You can enter a different sender name and select a different file format at the time of transmission. The subject can only be changed using the following procedure.
Important: To use Scan to E-mail, sender information must be set using the following procedure, or using the Web page as explained on page 81, even if a sender is manually entered at the time of transmission.
Note: In the event that your e-mail server is unable to successfully complete a Scan to E-mail transmission, your server will send notification to the sender e-mail address that you enter in the following procedure or at the time of transmission.

Sharpdesk lets you manage a variety of electronic information such as scanned image data from the network scanner or documents created using word processing or spreadsheet application software. Some of the important features of Sharpdesk are:
◆ Sharpdesk works with your scanner to let you read paper documents into your computer using a full-featured set of scanning controls and options.
◆ Sharpdesk makes editing of your images and documents quick and easy.
A text image scanned into Sharpdesk can be converted into editable text for use with your favorite word processor. Sharpdesk uses an advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine that even preserves your document layouts.
Note: For the best results, set the resolution to ULTRA FINE when scanning a document for OCR conversion.
Network Scanner Tool
This is a utility that helps you use Scan to Desktop. It configures the necessary settings in the network scanner and client computer to receive data. In addition, Network Scanner Tool will automatically start Sharpdesk when image data is received. The scanned image received by your computer can be:
♦ Saved in a folder.
♦ Passed to an application set in the Network Scanner Tool.
♦ Sent as e-mail.
♦ Saved in Sharpdesk.

Inbound Routing
When the network scanner option is installed, you can have incoming faxes from specified senders (or all senders) automatically converted to e-mail and sent to designated e-mail recipients.
- This function provides a convenient means of forwarding received faxes to someone who is out of the office.
- The function can also be used to send copies of all received faxes to an administrator for centralized document storage.
Entering sets of sender's numbers and forwarding e-mail addresses
To use the Inbound Routing function, you must store one or more sets of sender's fax numbers and forwarding e-mail addresses. Each set correlates a particular sender's number (or numbers) with a particular forwarding e-mail address (or addresses). Up to 41 sets can be stored. To be used, a stored set must be activated.
When a fax is received from one of the sender's fax numbers in an activated set, the fax is converted to e-mail and sent to each of the forwarding e-mail addresses in that set. When multiple sets are stored, the machine checks each activated set and forwards the fax as appropriate.
You can also configure one set to have all received faxes forwarded to the e-mail addresses in the set. For example, to have all received faxes forwarded by e-mail to an administrator for centralized storage, select "TRANSFER ALL" in Step 7 of the following procedure and store the e-mail address of the administrator as the forwarding address. Note that only one set can be configured to have all received faxes forwarded.
To store a set that uses e-mail addresses in a personal book as forwarding addresses, open the book before storing the set.

4. Network Printer Option
The FO-NP1 Printer Expansion Kit allows the FO-DC500/525/600 Document Communication System to be used as a network printer.
The features of the printer include:
◆ Print speeds of up to 16 pages per minute.
◆ Printing multiple sets of documents.
◆ Printing multiple document pages on a single sheet (N-up printing).
The following steps are necessary to use the network printer option. The steps must be completed in the order shown.
- Your dealer must install the FO-LN1 network interface kit and the FO-NP1 network scanner kit. The machine must be connected to the network.
- The IP address of the machine must be set as explained in the following section.
- The printer driver must be installed in all computers on the network that will be using the printer. The printer driver is installed from the CD-ROM that is included in the network printer kit. The procedures for installing the printer driver and configuring print settings are explained in this chapter.
Setting the IP address of the machine
To allow computers to communicate with the printer over the network, the printer must be assigned an IP address. This procedure should be performed by the network administrator or administrator of the machine, and is explained in Setting the IP Address on page 76.
Note: Although “DHCP” is available as a setting for the IP address (this means that the machine automatically obtains an address from a DHCP server), it is recommended that a permanent IP address be assigned to the machine. If DHCP must be used, it is recommended that the DHCP lease time for the IP address be set to unlimited.
Note that the printer cannot be directly connected to a computer using a parallel cable. The printer must be connected to the network through the FO-LN1 network interface kit.
◆ If you plan on moving the printer, contact your Sharp dealer.
Installing the Printer Driver
The SHARP PCL XL printer driver printer driver is provided in the CD-ROM in the FO-NP1 printer kit. This driver must be installed in every computer that uses the printer.
Important: The printer driver cannot be installed unless the FO-NP1 Printer Expansion Kit and FO-LN1 LAN interface have been installed in the machine and the machine is ready for use as a network printer.
Before installing the printer driver, be sure to read the "Readme" file on the CD-ROM (Option\English\Readme.txt) for the latest information.

Confidential reception
When another machine sends you a document by confidential transmission, your machine holds it in memory instead of immediately printing it out. The document cannot be printed out until you enter the correct passcode.
Your fax has 10 "mailboxes" in which confidential documents can be received. Each mailbox has its own passcode, allowing up to 10 different people or groups to each receive their own confidential documents. The mailboxes are identified by 2-digit numbers.
Programming the confidential passcode
To receive a confidential document, you must first program a 2-digit mailbox number and a 4-digit passcode.
Note: Be sure to inform the transmitting party of your 2-digit mailbox number in advance. The transmitting party will need this number to send you confidential faxes.

Polling
Polling allows you to call another fax machine and have it send a document to your machine without operator assistance. In other words, the receiving fax machine, not the transmitting fax machine, initiates the transmission. You can use your machine to both poll and be polled by others.
Polling others
To poll another fax machine, follow the steps below.
If desired, you can dial more than one fax number to receive documents consecutively from a group of fax machines (this is called "Serial Polling"; a maximum of 179 fax machines can be polled in one operation on the FO-DC500/525, or 279 fax machines on the FO-DC600).

Serial Polling using a Group Key
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 154.)
◆ 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 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 machine and activates polling. You can choose whether to allow polling only once, or an unlimited number of times. In the latter case, your 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.
1 Load the document.

Polling Security
Polling Security allows you to prevent unauthorized polling of your machine. When this function is activated, polling will only take place when one of the following conditions is met:
The fax number of the polling fax machine has been stored in your machine's list of permitted fax numbers (called "passcode numbers"). The polling fax machine must also have its fax number programmed in itself, as explained in Entering Your Name and Fax Number in Chapter 1.
A System number has been programmed in the polling fax machine which matches your machine's System number or one of your machine's ID numbers.
◆ An ID number has been programmed in the polling fax machine which matches your machine's System number.
System and ID numbers are 4-digit numbers which provide you with an alternate means of giving and receiving polling permission when you don't want to use fax numbers. The steps for programming these numbers are described in the following pages.
Note: System and ID numbers can only be used if the other fax machine is also a Sharp machine.
Turning Polling Security on and off
Polling Security is turned on or off with Option Setting 8 as explained on page 203.

Telephone Billing
If you are on a PBX, you can have the machine send a code to the PBX that identifies the sender for billing purposes each time a fax is sent. Telephone billing is possible in two ways: using Department Control and by direct billing code entry.
Using Department Control
If you are using the Department Control function, you can use Department Codes for telephone billing. In this case, the machine will automatically send the Department Code that a department member enters to access the machine to the PBX. The PBX can then use the Department Code to bill the call to that department.
To use Department Control for telephone billing, program a Department Code for each group that will use the machine (see Department Control on page 192), and then have your dealer activate Department Control. After this, set Option Setting 26 (Telephone Billing Code) to ON as explained on page 208.
Direct billing code entry
If you don't want to use Department Control for telephone billing, you can have users enter an assigned billing code (any number up 9 digits long) each time they use the machine. The machine will automatically send this code to the PBX for billing purposes. To use this function, have your dealer activate the function and then set Option Setting 26 (Telephone Billing Code) to ON as explained on page 208.
Note: The billing code should be assigned by your PBX administrator. Billing codes are not programmed into the machine.
Users should enter their billing code as follows when performing an operation on the machine. The code need only be entered when calling outside of the PBX.
1 Load the document (s).

Distinctive Ring
Important:
◆ To use distinctive ring, you must subscribe to a distinctive ring service from your local phone company.
- Your machine may not be compatible with some distinctive ring services.
Note for dual line option: Distinctive ring can only be used on Line 1.
Distinctive ring is a service offered by some local telephone companies whereby they assign an additional second number to your regular single line. The second number rings differently from your normal number.
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service, you can set the machine to automatically answer when your second number is called. This allows you to use the second number as an exclusive fax number.
To have your fax automatically answer when your second number is called, follow the steps below:

Section 11. Toxicological Information
| Health Effects from Exposure: No symptoms expected with intended use. | |
| Toxicological Data | |
| Acute Toxicity: Inhalation, LC50(mg/l): >0.74 (Rats,4hour exposure) * (This was the highest attainable concentration.) Ingestion(oral), LD50(mg/kg): >5000 (Rats) * Dermal, LD50(mg/kg): >2000 (Rats) * Eye irritation: Non irritant (Rabbits) * Skin irritation: Non irritant (Rabbits) * Skin sensitizer: No data available Mutagenicity: Negative * (AMES test) (*= Based on data for other Products with similar ingredients) | |
| Local Effects: see Chronic Toxicity or Long term Toxicity | |
| Chronic Toxicity or Long Term Toxicity: Prolonged inhalation of excessive dust may cause lung damage. It is attributed to "lung overloading", a generic response to excessive amounts of any dust retained in the lungs for a prolonged interval. Use of this product, as intended, does not result in inhalation of excessive dust. In a study in rats by chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to moderate degree of lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of 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. |
Carcinogenicity
IARC Monographs: Not listed
NTP(USA): Not listed
OSHA Regulated(USA): Not listed
In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human carcinogen). This valuation is given to Carbon Black for which there is inadequate human evidence, but sufficient animal evidence. The latter 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 have not demonstrated an 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.
