There is one simple thing you can try. Open the right side door, then the front door. Slide the toner cartridge out. Then slide the drum cartridge partially out then lightly "slam" it back in to reseat the drum cartridge. Re-install the toner then close the front and right side doors. Try a copy and see if this has repaired the problem. If not then try opening and closing the right side door another time or two. If this works then great. If not then you will need to call your local service company to have the machine looked at. Most of my customers have had either the right side door open/close or the removal/re-installation of the cartridges resolve their problem.
Good Luck and Thank You for using Fixya.

Copiers Sharp AL-1631 AL-1641CS DESCRIPTION OF SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
Copiers Sharp AL-1631 AL-1641CS

DESCRIPTION OF SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
Toner save mode
Reduces toner consumption by approximately 10%.
Power save modes
The unit has two power save modes of operation: preheat mode and auto power
shut-off mode.
Preheat mode
When the unit enters the preheat mode, the power save indicator will light up
and other indicators will remain on or off as before. In this condition, the fuser in
the unit is maintained at a lower heat level, thereby saving power. To copy from
the preheat mode, make desired copier selections and press the start key
using the normal copying procedure.
Auto power shut-off mode
When the unit enters the auto power shut-off mode, the power save ( ) indicator
will light up and other indicators except the ONLINE indicator will go out. The auto
power shut-off mode saves more power than the preheat mode but requires a
longer time before starting copying. To copy from the auto power shut-off mode,
press the start key. Then make desired copier selections and press the star key using the normal copying procedure.
Auto clear
The unit returns to the initial settings a preset amount of time after the end of copy, or
scanner job. This preset amount of time (auto clear time) can be changed.
Stream feeding mode
For description of the stream feeding mode, see "Stream feeding mode".
Resolution of AUTO & MANUAL mode
You can set the copy resolution used for AUTO and MANUAL ( ) exposure
mode.

I have a Sharp AL 1631 copier. The drum replacement indicator came on. I purchased a replacement drum. The indicator continues to blink and the copier will not operate.
You can reset this indicator by pressing these keys in sequence:
Press "C" then press "Exposure Mode" then "C" again then "Exposure Mode" again.
Note that the Exposure Mode key is the far left key on the panel.
One you press these 4 keys in sequence the display should go blank. Then key in 24 as if to make 24 copies. Then press Print (Green Button)
Then key in 7 as if to make 7 copies.
Press print again. You should now get flashing 000.
Turn machine off then back on and the light should be gone.
Here it is in a short version:
C, far left, C, far left, 24, print, 7, print,
then power off and back on.

Keep copier ready; disable powersave option
This is going to be a user program:
1) press and hold both light and dark keys
a) the 2 buttons to lighten and darken copies
b) hold both for 5 sec until indicators light up
2) use the left copy quantity key show 2
3) press your copy key
4) use the right quantity key to change to 2 (max 90 sec)
5) press the copy key

repeat step 2 but change to 3 with left quantity key
press the copy key
change right number to (4 = 60 min, 1 is default at 5 min) then press your copy key.
Once done press both light and dark key again to exit

Note*** changing shut off timer and preheat will effect copy lamp ready state. Every 60 sec or so the scanner will move and reset. Some people do not like the noise is makes all the time. If you don't you can always change it back to the defaults. 2=0 and 3=1.
