DECLARATION

The equipment has been approved in accordance with Council Decision 98/482/

EC for pan-European single terminal connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network termination point.

In the event of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance.

Copier trouble

Copy and print quality problems

The causes listed in the table below are probable causes only, and may not represent all of the possible cases which may occur under actual operating conditions. If you experience a problem which does not seem to fall under any of the cases listed in this table, or if you are concerned about any other aspect of copying and printing operation, contact your SHARP service center.

Problem

Irregular faded patches or print

Thank you very much for buying a SHARP laser printer. This manual tells you how to set up, operate and maintain your new printer, and contains advice on how to get the best performance from the printer.

The descriptions contained in this manual assume that you are familiar with the operation of your computer and with how to send files to be printed.

Please use this manual along with the documentation for your computer hardware and software.

Your new printer has been specially designed to give you high-quality, trouble-free printing performance. The printer driver software lets the printer communicate with your computer via an IEEE P1284 bidirectional parallel interface, so you can control all aspects of printing from the Windows Printer control panel on your computer screen. Printing speed is a maximum

4 pages per minute at resolutions of 300 x 300 dpi for the JX-9200 and 600 x 600 dpi for the JX-9210.

Consideration has also been given to ecological and environmental factors.

Your printer features low power consumption, and after printing is completed it switches to a standby mode which complies with the US EPA Energy Star program. Moreover, no harmful ozone is produced during printing, and the toner self-recycling technology ensures that no toner is wasted. Printer operation is also very quiet: the printer generates less than 45 dBA of acoustic noise during printing, and during standby mode the noise level is no higher than the background noise level.

Despite being packed with so many features, the printer is very compact.

Its footprint is no larger than a single A4 page, and the total weight is approximately 5 kg, meaning that it is easy to transport and set up. The

100-sheet multipurpose tray is also located at the top of the printer to save space and to make inserting the paper easy.

Most software applications will let you adjust the margins to have around the edges of the paper that you will be printing on. The area inside the margins then becomes the "printable area". The Windows Printer Driver specifies the minimum values that you can set for these page margins.

These minimum margin settings vary depending on whether you are printing from a Windows application or from a non-Windows application in PCL emulation mode.

The following illustration and tables show the minimum settings that can be made in your software applications in both Windows and PCL modes.

Possible cause

There is a paper quality problem

Toner may be unevenly distributed

The TD cartridge is not installed properly

There is a paper quality problem

A Td cartridge from another

SHARP machine has been installed

Solution

Use only paper that meets the pecifications required by the machine. p. 128

Remove the TD cartridge and shake it gentl to evenly distribute the toner. Then replace the TD cartridge. p. 30

Check that the TD cartridge is installed correctly. p. 30

Use only paper that meets the pecifications required by the machine. p. 128

Always use the same TD cartridge with the same machine. Using a cartridge that has already been used in another machine may not give satisfactory results.

The paper may be too dry Try copying or printing with a different batch of paper.
