Problem on printing on a thermal paper (Fax Roll Paper)

1 - Grasp the finger hold and pull up to open the operation panel.
2 - Flip up the front paper guide.
3 - If you are loading paper that is 210mm in width, place the paper roll shims on each side of the paper compartment. (Note that Sharp recommended paper, including the initial roll, is 216 mm in width.) • The ribbed side of the shims should face in (toward each other).
4 - Unwrap the roll of thermal paper and insert the paper shaft.
5 - Place the roll of thermal paper in the compartment, making sure the ends of the paper shaft fit into the notches on each side of the compartment.
• Important: The roll must be placed so that the leading edge of the paper unrolls as shown. (The paper is only coated on one side for printing. If the roll is placed backwards, the paper will
come out blank after printing.)
6 - Insert the leading edge of the paper into the slot as shown. Continue to push the paper through the slot until it comes out the opening in the front of the machine.
7 - Make sure the paper comes out straight, and then flip down the paper guide.
8 - Close the operation panel, making sure it clicks into place.
• FO-71: A short length of the paper will be cut off.

Thermal paper roll upside down. You can only print on 1 side of thermal paper. also could be the thermal head in which case not worth repairing. Lawrence

for printing of this machine ttr roll is use you check with another quality of that like canofax roll and cheak out for machine printing.

Anymore it is more expensive to repair a fax machine than it cost to replace it most of the time.
I would say its time to replace it. Parts cost on those are increasing dramatically.

The roll of thermal paper can print only on 1 side. make sure the roll of paper is in correctly.

open the machine and clear the paper jam and then closed.The machine will start printing again.

Here's a trick that I used on the Canon thermal transfer years ago. First take out the thermal transfer unit and roll up the black transfer sheet to the begining of the lost fax. Then reload the paper. Next get a solid black original equal and make a copy. The result you should get a negative copy of the lost fax. Repeat this step until all the faxes are recovered..
