Why does my Sharp Copier paper misfeed frequently?
- J
  Jessica LucasJul 26, 2025
  Frequent paper misfeeds in your Sharp Copier can occur for several reasons: * Non-standard paper may be in use. Try using standard paper, or if you need to use special papers, feed them through the multi-bypass tray. * The paper might be curled or damp. Store paper flat in its wrapper in a dry location. * There may be pieces of paper inside the unit. Remove all pieces of misfed paper. * The paper guides in the paper tray may not be set properly. Ensure the guides are set correctly for the paper size you are using. * The paper tray might be overloaded. Remove excessive paper from the tray.

  Dust, dirt, or smudges appearing on your Sharp Copier copies can be due to a dirty document glass or SPF. Clean them regularly. Alternatively, the original document might be smudged or blotchy, so use a clean original.

How to fix images that rub off easily from Sharp AL-1642CS copies?

  Daniel FieldsAug 13, 2025
  If images rub off the copy easily when using your Sharp Copier, it could be due to the paper being too heavy. Use paper within the specified range. Alternatively, the paper may be damp. Replace it with dry paper, and if the unit is not used for a long time, remove the paper from the paper tray and store it in its wrapper in a dry location.

Why are the copies from my Sharp AL-1642CS Copier too dark or too light?
- G
  Gregory AdamsAug 19, 2025
  If the copies from your Sharp Copier are too dark or too light, it could be because the original image is too dark or too light; in this case, adjust the exposure manually. It could also be because the unit is in automatic exposure mode; adjust the automatic exposure level. Finally, if the unit is in photo exposure mode, cancel the photo exposure mode.
