Loading the Imaging Film

Loading the Imaging Film

Your fax uses a roll of imaging film to create printed text and images. The print head in the fax applies heat to the imaging film to transfer ink to the paper. Follow the steps below to load or replace the film.

The initial starter roll of imaging film included with the machine can print about 30 A4-size pages.

When replacing the film, use a roll of SHARP FO-9CRimaging film. One roll can print about 180 A4-size pages.

Important!

If the wrong type of film is loaded, printing will not be possible.

Near end of film detection:

At approximately 3 m from the end of the imaging film (approximately 10 pages can still be printed), “NEAR END OF FILM / REPLACE FILM” will appear in the display. This alerts you that you will soon need to replace the film. Correct operation of this function is only guaranteed when SHARP FO- 9CR imaging film is used.

1 Remove the paper from the paper tray

and open the operation panel (press ).

If you are loading the imaging film for the first time, go to Step 4.
