I have an older Sharp AL-1000 photocopier that turns on but doesn't seem to work. What should I check first?

Start with the lights and any error code on the panel. One possibility is a paper jam, so switch it off and check the paper path for stuck sheets or scraps. Close the covers securely afterward.
The drum indicator may also be on, which can mean the drum needs replacing. Check the manual for what each light means before buying parts, since the symptoms alone don't pin down the fault.

Before spending money on a drum or a repair, compare the cost of parts with another used laser copier. If laser printing is expensive where you live, though, a simple fix could still be worth it.

If you can describe which lights are on or flashing, that would help narrow it down.
