Error code f2 in sharp ar 5518

SOURCE: Sharp ar-163 model Error code F1

You can hold down the start key when the F1 is displayed it will show a sub code. The service manual for that model shows only one F1 code which is an F1-06. That is a shifter motor trouble. That is the section after the exit that offsets the copies.

You can reset the code with the instructions below. If the error recurrs then chech the exit section shidter for proper movement. You may require an on site technician to remedy this issue.

To reset the error code:
Hit <clear> <interrupt> <0> <interrupt>
14 <start>

SOURCE: F2-02 error on Sharp AR-M237

on this code you may have to clean out the developing unit and start with fresh developer. Make sure the developer unit is not leaking from one of the bearings. You may need a tech for this one...

It could also be the sponge roller in the toner hopper. The old ones started to deteriorate after a while so sharp modified them.

SOURCE: Error code F2-04. Have replaced cartridge but to no avail

Try this solution I found on an other site.

In a Sharp MX-M450N copier this is due to improper cartridge.

The reason for the error code is of course due to an incorrect toner cartridge being used on the copier. You can turn the copier off, but it will not flush from memory. in order to correct the issue perform the following:

1. Turn the printer off
2. Remove the incorrect toner cartridge
2. Unplug the power cable from the wall outlet.
4. Plug the Printer back on
5 Turn the printer back on

You will see the message change to another message requesting to insert the toner cartridge.

6. Insert the old or new correct toner cartridge into the copier.
