    [Error Code] Sharp AR-M450 call for assistance message

    Our nonprofit literacy organization received a donated Sharp AR-M450 copier. A message keeps coming up saying we have to call for service. We operate on a shoe string but paid a technician to get rid of the message and test the machine just two weeks ago. It cost us $139 but it was worth it because we discovered that the machine works great. However, the service message sprang up again today and we can't get rid of it. We also do not have the money to have the technician come again (and they won't agree to stand by the first "repair").

    We are not able to make copies for our children's programs and are at a loss. Does anyone know how to bypass this service message so we can make copies again? I am assuming it might be a matter of just entering a certain code. We would be greatly indebted if anyone can help us.

        Does it say "call for service" and then give a code? If so, what is the code? If it says Maintenance Required then the machine has reached a maintenance interval, similar to a check engine light on a vehicle.

          If you have someone there who's handy with a screwdriver I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue to talk you through it as well...
