Sharp H5-01 Trouble Error Code Clear Process

H5-01 is a common error code on older Sharp copiers. It indicates that your machine has had 5 jams in a row. It can be cleared out, but your machine likely needs some maintenance to prevent further issues. Or it might be time to consider updating your office equipment to something new.

H5-01 Trouble Error Code Clear on Sharp Copier – Step-By-Step Instructions

  1. Make sure you’ve gotten all of the jammed paper out of the machine
  2. On the number pad, touch P, *, C, * in rapid succession
    • On newer Sharp copiers(2014-present) you’ll have to double tap the Home button to the right of the touch screen to bring up the number pad
  3. The machine will enter a simulation mode, either touch the #14 on the touch screen, or type 14 on the number pad, then touch the B&W Start button(or mono on newer machines)Sharp H5-01 trouble error code
  4. Touch Execute, then Yes.Sharp H5-01 trouble error code cancelation
  5. It will take a moment to process, sometimes you will have a progress bar, then the machine will reboot itself. If it doesn’t reboot itself after a minute or two, go ahead and touch CA to reboot it. If all else fails, turn it off manually.

The Sharp copier with the H5-01 should be reset at this point, and you should be able to print/copy again. Again, if you need someone to come out and take a look at your system, request a service call. Skelton Business Equipment has a 4 hour service call turnaround time!

  1. P=# on the older AR M161 machines. So the code on those machines is
    #*C* 14 Start OK
    I was struggling to find out where the P was. I thought it was the number key 7 with the letters PQRS next to it. I only picked up that P=# by watching the video on this page where the machine in the video had P/# on the # button.

  4. This is great but I could not get the error code to go away, I checked all doors and trays for any sign of a paper jam and I cannot find a jam and cannot get the screen to clear so I can try to enter the code. Thanks for the information. Im sure it would be very helpful if I could see the key pad.

  6. Every YouTube video has this outdated information but it’s not helpful on MX-M7570.

    There is no physical panel, just a pullout keyboard with no Clear button. Double-tapping the Home button does NOT bring up a virtual panel. Tried entering the IP address as supposedly there is a remote panel option, but didn’t see it anywhere obvious.

    Very frustrating as I’m pretty sure the physical jam is cleared and the machine is just mentally stuck!

    • The home button is the white house icon in the indented part of the right-hanf side of the touch screen. When you’re on the default screen when the machine it turned on and you double-tap this button it should launch the window mentioned.
