I have a Sharp AL-2020 All in One printer. The main power switch works, but the only thing that flashes on the printer screen is "4" and "H" over and over. No matter what buttons I press or how many times it's the same thing. I don't know what to do. Please help.

To reset the drum light on your Sharp AL2020 copier press the following key's in sequence and as quickly as possible (with 4 seconds for the first 4 keys)
Press "C" then the "auto" key (exposure mode) then the "C" key then the "auto" key again.
So in other words C, Auto, C, Auto
If done correctly the display should go blank.
Then key in 24 as if you were going to make 24 copies.
Now press the "print" button
Now key in 7 as if you were making 7 copies
Now press the print button again.
You should now be getting flashing zero's on the display.
Turn the machine off then on again and your drum light should be gone!
You can usually reset this counter at least once to get twice the life out of your drum unit.
Good Luck and Thank You for using Fixya.

    Very sorry, I posted the wrong reset procedure. Use the same procudure as I listed above but instead of entering 24, enter 14. That is all you need to do as the machine will rest automatically. Again sorry for misreading the post. If this works, please update my helpfulness rating.

Sharp AL2020 AL2040 AL2060 AL2080 H4 H-4 code reset procedure

In most cases the flashing H4 or H then 4 code on these machines is caused by voltage fluctuations or surges. Normally there is nothing wrong with the machine and the code is easily reset. Here is the procedure:<br /> Press the following key's in sequence and as quickly as possible (with 4 seconds for the first 4 keys) <br />Press "C" then the "Auto" key (exposure mode) then the "C" key then the "Auto" key again.<br />So in other words C, Auto, C, Auto<br />If done correctly the display should go blank.<br />Then key in 14 as if you were going to make 14 copies.<br />Now press the "print" button<br />The machine should automatically shut down and restart with the H4 code being gone.<br /> If the H4 code comes back after reset then in this case you have a fusing unit problem and will need to have the unit serviced. <br /> Works on Sharp AL series 2020 2040 2060 and 2080<br /> Good Luck and Thank You for using Fixya.<br />

Sharp AL-1631: Flashing H-4. Paper tray light is

H4 indicates that you have no power for your heater lamp. Either the thermostat or the lamp is open. For the thermostat, you can reset it if you know how to remove the fuser section and its cover so you can see the thermostat and reset from there. For the heater lamp, check its continuity using a tester.
