Sharp SD-2260 Copier Service Manual (P/N 00ZSD2260SME1)

This original Sharp service manual, publication code 00ZSD2260SME1, covers the SD-2260 console-type dry copier, including Japan-market 15A/20A specifications and export 100V/200V configurations.

• Paper feed and transport: Air valve and pressure checks, tray leveling, pickup roller pressure adjustment, registration timing, and paper size detection settings.

• Optical section: Scanner drive wire adjustment, scanner alignment, image distortion correction, focus and magnification adjustment, and image loss/void area settings.

• Image forming section: OPC drum setup, charger adjustment, developing unit calibration, cleaning blade positioning, toner concentration control, and waste toner detection adjustment.

• Fusing and duplex systems: Fusing guide positioning, temperature settings, roller speed adjustment, curl correction, switchback gate alignment, and duplex alignment plate adjustment.

• RADF diagnosis: Document stop position adjustment, sensor sensitivity calibration, motor speed checks, and dedicated feeder test functions.

• Electrical troubleshooting: Sensor and PWB function tables, component operation tests, self-diagnostic codes, memory recovery flowcharts, and the A section wiring diagram.

Published for after-sales service, this manual is suited to copier service technicians familiar with electrical measurements, service simulations, and mechanical alignment.

System Structure and Maintenance

The internal structure drawings identify motors, solenoids, clutches, sensors, and circuit boards by their service designations. These references connect component locations with the diagnostic tests used elsewhere in the manual.

Maintenance cycle tables and illustrated service charts cover replacement, cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment points throughout the machine. The consumables section identifies the OPC drum, developer, toner, heat rollers, cleaning components, and maintenance kits, with regional product references and replacement intervals.

Parts compatibility: The SD-2260/2060 unit parts compatibility tables distinguish interchangeable assemblies from changed RADF, duplex, fusing, drive, and PWB components. They help check a proposed replacement against the documented configuration before parts are selected.

Image Quality and Mechanical Adjustment

The optical section includes a linked adjustment flowchart, resolution test charts, and scanner positioning illustrations. Focus, magnification, image centering, and distortion corrections are treated as related adjustments; changing an earlier setting can require later settings to be checked again.

AICS (Active Image Control System) coverage explains optical dirt correction, OPC drum sensitivity correction, toner concentration correction, and main charger grid voltage correction. The manual also describes the relationship between automatic copy density adjustment and adjustment through SIM 46.

Drum and developing unit handling: Removing the drum’s starting powder can increase cleaning blade friction, reverse the blade, and damage the photoconductor surface. The developing unit instructions also warn that careless thickness-gauge insertion can scratch the DV doctor and magnetic roller.

Air-feed checks specify the pressure meter UKOG-0178FCZZ and nozzle UKOG-0179FCZZ. Charger testing identifies the electrode sheet UKOG-0110FCZZ and electrode harness DHAI-0304FCZZ, alongside the associated wiring and connection illustrations.

Diagnostic Simulations and Memory Recovery

Service simulations cover sensor monitoring, motor and solenoid operation, developer calibration through SIM 25-2, OPC drum correction counter clearing, and EEPROM initialization. Dedicated RADF tests supplement the main copier simulations.

The troubleshooting tables link fault codes to detection conditions, likely causes, and service checks. Separate U1/U2 memory recovery flowcharts explain which settings, calibration data, counters, and user programs need attention after memory or main control PWB replacement. Together with the adjustment recording sheets, these references help distinguish lost setup data from a component fault.

Accessory coverage: The manual includes sorter specifications and diagnostic references for SF-S16, SF-S53, and SF-S55, plus auditor and commander information. Staple cartridge setup is referred to the individual sorter service manuals.

Key operator programming and commander-based printouts cover operating settings, counters, jam history, trouble history, and adjustment records. Electrical service requires isolation of the copier’s power supply and the precautions specified for high-voltage components.

Selected Fusing and Copy Lamp Specifications

These examples represent a small selection of the configuration-specific data in the manual. The fusing temperature table lists 205°C for the Japan 15A specification in both normal and duplex copying; destination-specific settings are documented separately.

The optical specifications distinguish an 85V, 220W copy lamp for the 100V system from a 170V, 260W lamp for the 200V system. These references accompany the lamp control and adjustment coverage.
