  If your Sharp Printer is not printing, and the ONLINE indicator is not blinking, first ensure the printer is not in off-line mode by pressing the [SPECIAL FUNCTION] key and selecting "Online/Offline". Then, check the printer cable connections at both ends, and try a different cable to rule out cable issues. Also, verify that you've selected the correct "SHARP MX-XXXX" printer in the print dialog box of your application. Finally, ensure the printer driver is correctly installed; if not, reinstall it.

  Tamara RangelAug 21, 2025
  If your Sharp Printer is experiencing paper misfeeds, ensure you are using paper within the specified size and weight range. Also, avoid using curled or damp paper; replace it with dry paper, and store paper in a dark, dry place when not in use. Make sure the paper is correctly loaded in the tray. Remove any pieces of paper inside the machine. Fan the paper before loading it. If the misfeed occurred in the tray, try turning the paper over or around before reloading. Also, ensure that you are not loading too much paper in the tray. Adjust the guides on the bypass tray to match the width of the paper and make sure the bypass tray extension is pulled out when loading paper. Clean the bypass paper feed roller.
