Check your computer.

CHECK8 Is there enough computer memory or hard disk space?

To use this printer, you must have an adequate amount of hard disk space. If there is insufficient hard disk space, delete unnecessary files to increase the free space of the hard disk. If there is insufficient memory, close unnecessary applications to increase memory available for printing. If you are still unable to print, install more memory into your computer.

CHECK9 Is your printer selected correctly in the current application for the print job?

When choosing "Print" from the "File" menu located in applications, be sure you have selected the "SHARP AJ-1800" or "SHARP AJ-2000" displayed in the "Print" dialog box.
