 Nice little almost all in one! November 26, 2008
This is a great machine for our small business. We use all three functions (print, scan, copy) a lot and have had no problems in 3 months of use thus far. Be advised that there is no Fax functionality on this. Who uses fax machines anyway when you can do it all from the PC today?
Great machine, wasn't a problem to setup, and I think it comes with a regular toner, not a starter toner like a lot of the other products out there today.
 It's been a workhorse for me! July 9, 2008

I purchased the AL-1655CS almost three years ago and it has been a real workhorse. It has produced more than 11,000 prints and only jammed perhaps a dozen times. Here is what I like about the machine:
1) Wide range of reduction and enlargement.
2) Two paper trays (letter and legal) plus the bypass tray.
3) High resolution scanner.
4) Reasonably reliable document feeder.
5) 2-sided copying capability (it works).
6) Since a difficult copy quality problem (see below), the tech support people have been VERY competent and helpful and responded quickly.
What I don't like:
1) When the developer cartridge failed (prematurely), the support folks told me to change the toner cartridge (more than $100) and it wasn't the problem. It took lots of trouble, lots of time and some expense before tech support finally sent me a new developer cartridge which solved the problem.
2) I had to bring in (at my cost) a local computer guy to set up the printer so it would work on my network (I'm not as techie as maybe I should be).
3) Error messages when I use the bypass tray - I still haven't figured out what I'm doing wrong (assuming that I am).
The other reviews seem to indicate that other buyers have been quite unhappy with the performance of this multifunction. I've been very pleased with mine.
 Gears strip on many systems December 11, 2007

My unit didn't hold up well at all. Makes a horrible grinding sound. Did some checking and learned this is a "very common problem with this model" and it's an issue they don't suggest you self-repair. I read that as a design flaw. The main drive gear that powers the fuser strips out. Can't get to it easily. Nice features but the copier gave out quickly.
Dont Buy It October 25, 2007

The Printer lost its IP settings 2 months after purchase....we lost the Software CD that is NEEDED to change any admin settings on the machine. Sharp DOES NOT supply the software via electronic download. You must purchase it at a $30 cost and wait for snail mail to deliver it. Evidentally, our employees and the need to print important information do not matter..... Guess that is why this printer and sharp have low ratings over every online electonics dealers web sites.
JUNK MACHINE - DO NOT BUY October 13, 2007
The machine does not have fax capability. Also, Sharp does not have drivers to make it work with Windows vista. I would avoid Sharp altogether. Have had bad luck with three separate Sharp machines.
