1

Make sure that the ON LINE indicator on the operation panel is lit.

If the ON LINE indicator is not lit, press the [ON LINE] key ( ).

When the indicator is:

Lit, the machine is online and ready to print, or is printing.

Blinking, the machine is processing print data in memory or printing has been paused.

● Off, the machine is off-line and cannot print.

4

Make sure that "SHARP AL-XXXX" is selected as the printer. If you need to change any print settings, click the "Preferences" button

("Properties" button in Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0) to open the printer driver setup screen.

The printer driver setup screen will appear.

2

Start WordPad and open the document that you wish to print.

Caution

Scanning a large area in full colour at high resolution results in a large quantity of data and a prolonged scanning time. It is recommended that you set the scanning preferences according to the type of the original being scanned, i.e., Monitor, Photo, FAX, or

OCR.

The scan resolution will vary depending on the scanning area and colour mode (Full colour,

Greyscale, or Black & White). For example, if an A4 original is scanned in full colour at 300 dpi, the machine will scan the original in full colour at 150 dpi and the scanner driver will enhance the resolution to

300 dpi.
