    Sharp ar-200 won't copy

    I just replaced a broken toner motor in this copier and now it won't copy. I performed all pertinent SIMS to ensure everything functions normally but when I set up a copy job it just ignores the press of the copy button. Yes, the button functions properly and the machine knows I pressed it but it never produces a copy. No error codes are displayed. I suspect a static discharge while I was working on it but can't understand how it can run all the SIMS but not function otherwise.

    what was the part number of the motor? If I recall correctly this series of machine had several different toner add motors, if you chose the wrong one it would rotate in the wrong direction.

      As far as I know all the Panthers used the exact same toner motor. The only difference might be the old style motor with the plastic shaft, and the new style with the metal shaft.

      Perhaps something didn't get plugged in correctly when you changed the motor. =^..^=
      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.

        blackcat, the ar200/205/161/160 toner motor not same with ar163/164/206/207 toner motor. out look same but direction rotate not same.

          is it give ready to copy or no?
          1)if no and it does not any sound of motor rotation may be it is locked by a prgram which make it stop after drum life time is over
          u can unlock it by program 24-7
          2) if no and u hear a motor rotation sound CORONA1 which charging drum may be damged, also it may be bad toner or counterclock motor rotation

            AR-200 won't copy

            Does the main motor start up at all? Have you tried a sim 14? Any inticator lamps lit up?

              Thank you for the correction. I guess I've never had to change a toner motor on the latter group. =^..^=

                If you look at the original motor, it will either say CCW or CW on the sticker, meaning Counter-Clock Wise, or Clock Wise. Thats the easiest way to ensure you are replacing the correct motor.

                  Thanks for your responses. As I said in my original post, I have run all the Simulations. All of the following function normally in Simulation: Main Motor, Toner Motro, Laser Unit, ADF components, Keybutton Panel & all Lamps...Everything. Yes, I am aware of the CW vs. CCW Toner Motor issue. I have the correct one in the machine.

                  The copier just doesn't give a green lamp in the copy button. Both the button & thre lamp function & the machine wakes up when I load a document & when I press the copy button. It just never scans the original or produces a copy. No errors are displayed, either.

                    Have you tried re-doing the installation to be sure all the connectors got connected, and no wires pinched? =^..^=

                      When the machine warming up, just pull the side door and look at the drum surface, cleaned or some toners stick on drum surface.If some toners stick on drum surface, u need to check main corona, LSU,beware of using bad quality toner,and also developer.

                        The more I read this one, the more it sounds like a fuser problem.

                        I haven't touched one of these for a long time, but I remember the green light coming on the copy button when the machine was warmed up & ready. If the toner motor has just been replaced, you generally need to remove the wiring harness & associated plastic harness channels in that area. This is around the area of the fuser connectors too.
                        Make sure the fuser is correctly connected. It has more than one plug. I think something is either missed here, or the fuser is not warming up. All motors & tests will work in sim, but is the fuser warming up? Is the fuser lamp on? Its easy to check with the back cover off. If the fuser warms up as normal, the copy light will come on.
                        There is not much else to these machines. In my time, I never saw a dev unit fail, but did many LSU's. I really dont think either of these would be causing your issue, as you have no error codes.
                        Im really thinking fuser or related harness/cabling.
                        Makes sense to me.
