Sharp Fax Repair

[Tom]

I have a Sharp UX 171 fax. I bought new rolls of paper and the paper will go about halfway thru and cut off and go on thru w/no printing!
What do I do now?

Try flipping the roll - if it is installed backwards a lot of times is will fit in the machine, but it will not show print.

how to even enter my own number as required by law when sending a fax. I got it at a thrift shop. Would like to know how to program other things as well. My last phone/fax, also a Sharp-UX108 came from a thrift shop also, but I was able to get a manual for it. This manual bears no relation to the 'new' 171 though, no commands apply.

I finally found how to enter the user name! Had the same problem.
It is similar to a manual available on the internet free.
Go to usersmanualguide<dot>com/sharp/faxes and download a manual for a Sharp FO120.
Everything is in there.
Function 00, enter phone number, press start/copy, then enter the sender name by using a four digit code beginning with 0 for each letter.
A is 0401 thru O is 0415, P is 0500 thru Z is 0510, capital letters.
small letters is 0601 thru 0615 and 0700 thru 0710,
numbers are 0300-0309.
Complete chart is on that pdf file.
