Sharp PA-4000 beeping
Hello, today I have received a Sharp PA-4000. When I turn it on, after few seconds it starts beeping and it does not work at all - just a continuous beep. I cleaned, tried something else but everything has been useless. Any idea? Thanks!

Traful,
Not sure if you will find an answer but here is a pdf-copy of the PA-4000 user manual :

Thanks, I have it. There's nothing about my issue. I think I could reset the memory. (how?).

Traful,
This is a different Panasonic eelctronic typewriter...but maybe similar.
Page 53 of this Manual describes a constant "buzzing" and disabled key-tops when the text memory is full and needs to be cleared.

Re: Sharp PA-4000 beeping
And page 48 of this Manual describes how to clear (reset) the memory buffer. Maybe those steps will be similar on your Model PA-4000...??? Or the PA-4000 Manual may detail how to clear that text memory.p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120% }

Re: Sharp PA-4000 beeping
Thanks a lot, but I gave up. It was an eBay untested item, so I got a refund. By the way, my primary focus was on Casio thermal typewriter - something like that
They are pretty cheap, but (I live in Europe) cartridge+shipping is more expensive than the whole machine! Any advice on a thermal typewriter (the smaller the better) with cartridges/ribbon not costing an eye and an arm?
Thans, as ever

Re: Sharp PA-4000 beeping
Fulvio,
Sorry cannot be of help...these "electronic" machines are not an area in which I collect.
Hopefully another Member on the forum might be able to offer advice.
