I am getting code H3 on my photocoppier sharp ar5316
The printer repair guy just left. I'm paraphrasing what he told me:
The Sharp MX4501N was displaying the error: H3-04. This does mean that the printer was reading an above average temperature for the fuser, for some reason.
He said that in his experience, 90% of the time, this is due to power surges/spikes and not an actual incident of the fuser over heating. A good surge protector isn't normally enough and he recommended that we look around for a cheap UPS to condition the power.
Other things that can cause a higher than average reading of the fuser can be caused by paper jams, where a piece or pieces of the paper are lodges inside, insulating the fuser and restricting air flow to the internal compnents. Printing 15-25 blank sheets through the copier can usually dislodge these. If not, call for assistance.
In order to clear the error code (H3-04) from possible powewr surges/pikes, I was given the following code: #P, *, C, 1,4 PRINT
This will remove most of the codes restricting printing to the copier, however, should the code reappear, contact customer service and arrange for a visit from the local repair person.
I hope this helps anyone else who may run in to the same problemThe error: H3-04. This does mean that the printer was reading an above average temperature for the fuser, for some reason.

Just in case anyone else has this problem with a sharp mx6201 the code to clear it is just slightly different. Press: Copy, #P, *, C, *. Then a menu will come up. Press 1, 4, Copy. Press Execute when it appears on the screen. Then, Yes. Hit CA to finish.
In case you have this problem (H3-04) due to a power spike on a Sharp MX6201. Press: Copy, #P, *, C, *. Then a menu should come up. Enter 1, 4, Copy. Press Execute when it appears on the screen, then Yes. Hit CA to finish.
