Sharp AL-1556 ユーザーズマニュアル

The machine includes a USB connector and a LAN connector as standard equipment.
When the USB connector is used, the printer and scanner functions can be used.
When the LAN connector is used, the printer function can be used.
The machine has the following features:
• High-speed data transfer (when connected to a USB 2.0 connector)
• ROPM* function

* ROPM is an acronym for "Rip Once Print Many" processing. The ROPM function stores 

multiple pages of print data in memory before printing. When printing multiple copies, 
this eliminates the need for the computer to repeatedly transmit the print data.

To use the machine as a printer or scanner, the printer driver or scanner driver must 
first be installed as explained in the "SET UP THE SOFTWARE".

• If a problem occurs in printer or scanner mode, see the Online 

Manual.

• When using USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode), be sure to read "System 

requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode)" (below) to verify that 
your system and the machine settings are configured appropriately.

• The scanning feature is only available when Windows 98/Me/2000/

XP and a USB connection are used. The scanning feature is not 
available when Windows 95/NT 4.0 or a LAN connection is used.

The following system is required to use USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode):
• Your computer must be running Windows XP / Windows 2000 and the Microsoft 

USB 2.0 driver must be pre-installed, or the USB 2.0 driver for Windows XP / 
Windows 2000 must be installed using Microsoft's Windows Update service.

• The "USB 2.0 MODE SWITCH" setting in the machine's user programs must be 

set to "Hi-Speed". To change the setting, see "USB 2.0 MODE SWITCH" in the 
user programs. (p.68).

* Even when the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver is installed, some USB 2.0 expansion cards 

are not capable of attaining the speed stipulated by the Hi-Speed standard. This 
problem can often be fixed by installing a more recent driver for the card. To obtain 
the most recent driver for your card, contact the card's manufacturer.
