How to take out the jamed paper from Sharp AR-5516 Xerox machine
If you are getting a lot of jams in the fuser then there is a problem in the fuser unit !
Is it jamming like an accordion? if Yes, then the problem is w/ the little fingers in the fuser, they are worn and need to be replaced. The rollers in the fuser should be shiny and smooth if not they ca also cause jams.
What black thingy are we talking about and where? if it's the fuser rollers ( where the paper exits and gets hot then try cleaning w/reg soap & water rag then wipe off.
No Not necessarily they may be using an alternative generic part most likely Katun, not a bad brand, can last as long as the original. The important thing is it doesn't have scratches or looks like it is worn, the coating has to be uniform and looks ok.
If the toner is not adhere it could be
the Thermistor (controls the heat of the fuser roller),
defective toner,
moist paper, try crumbling it in your hands does it sound crisp? also bring a sheet of paper to eye level so you are looking at the whole surface of the paper do you see any bubbles or wet spots? (moisture), flip the papers in the tray .

Thanks Checkitright.
Yes it is jamming like an accordion. The technician did not even tell us that the fingers might be the problem. They have been adjusting the temp also because sometimes the toner doesn't fully adhere to the paper sometimes. I was thinking that that could be one of the problems.
The black thing I am referring to is the fuser roller. Sorry I didn't know what it was called :) But it isn't shiny... it's matte. Since we have a contract with Sharp Copiers here I am assuming that they use OEM parts.
