Original size detection on the document glass can be disabled. When this is done, all originals placed on the document glass are treated as special size originals.
Disabling of Document Feeder
Use this setting to prohibit the use of the automatic document feeder, such as when the feeder malfunctions. (When the setting is enabled, scanning is still possible using the document glass.)
Original Feeding Mode
The following original feeding modes can be set to operate by default in copy, image send, scan to HDD, and saved in external memory device modes. When a mode is frequently used, this saves you from having to select the mode in another mode each time you need to use it.
  • Mixed Size Original (Same Width (Copy mode only)/Different Width)
  • Slow Scan Mode
  • Blank Page Skip*
* Excluding fax mode and Internet fax mode.
Disabling of Duplex

This setting is used to prohibit the use of the large capacity tray, such as when it malfunctions.
Disabling of Optional Paper Drawer
This setting is used to disable the optional paper drawer, such as when it malfunctions.
Disabling of Tray Setting
This setting is used to prohibit tray settings (except for the bypass tray).
Disabling of Finisher
This setting is used to prohibit the use of finisher or saddle finisher, such as when it malfunctions.
Disabling of Offset
Disables an offset.
Disabling of Stapler
This setting is used to prohibit the use of staple, such as when the staple of finisher or saddle finisher malfunctions.
Saddle Stitch Position Adjust
This setting is used to adjust the staple position (saddle fold position) when a saddle finisher is installed and the saddle stitch function is used.
The value can be adjusted in increments of 0.2 mm within a range of +/-5.0 mm from the home position of each paper size.
Disabling of Punch
This setting is used to prohibit the use of punch, such as when the punch module of finisher or saddle finisher malfunctions.
Disabling of Color Mode
(When a color-related problem has occurred)
When a color-related problem has occurred and printing is not possible, the use of color mode will be temporarily blocked. Black & white printing will still be possible.
This function is only for use as an emergency measure. Once this setting is enabled, only a service technician can cancel the setting. Promptly contact your dealer or nearest SHARP Service Department listed in the Quick Start Guide to have a service technician cancel the settings and resolve the problem.
Auto Paper Selection Setting
The paper types* that the Auto Paper Selection function will select can be specified. Select one of the following settings:
  • Plain Paper

Tandem Connection Setting
When two machines are used as network printers using TCP/IP protocol, use this setting to configure the port number and IP address of the machine used as the tandem slave machine.
Disabling of Master Machine Mode
To prohibit tandem transmission, enable this setting. (Normally this setting is not necessary.)
Disabling of Slave Machine Mode
To prohibit tandem reception, enable this setting. (Normally this setting is not necessary.)
To use the tandem function when user authentication is enabled, the same login name and password must be used on both the master machine and slave machine. If the same login name and password are not used, the page count may not be added to the appropriate user count or only the master machine may print.
The factory default setting for the port number is [50001]. Unless you experience difficulty with this setting, do not change the port number.
Auto Switching of Finisher Trays
If the number of sheets on the upper finisher tray reaches the sheet limit, output will automatically switch to the lower tray.
Detect Standard in Auto Color Mode
When the color mode is set to auto in copy mode, the discrimination point for detecting whether originals are color or black and white can be set to one of 5 levels. When set to [Closer to B/W], the originals are easier to recognize as black and white. When set to [Closer color], the originals are easier to recognize as black and white.
Fusing Control Settings
These are used to control the toner fusing temperature according to the weight of the paper.
These settings apply to plain paper, recycled paper, punched paper, pre-printed paper, letterhead paper, colored paper, and user type paper.
You can select "16 to 23 lbs." or "23+ to 28 lbs." ("60g/m2 to 89g/m2" or "90g/m2 to 105g/m2").
  • Be sure to use only paper that is in the same weight range as the weight range set here. Do not mix plain or other paper that is outside the range with the paper in the tray.
  • When settings are changed, the changes will take effect after the machine is restarted. To restart the machine, see "TURNING ON THE POWER" in "BEFORE USING THE MACHINE"
