2. Machine is unable to pickup the paper from 1st and 2nd drawer after toner spill and now i am unable to clear the toner from it, everday i clean it then next day drawers again all spilled with toner. Please guide how to clean the toner from drawers properly.

3. Tick tick sound from drum assembly during copying, i cleaned the drum twice but after few hundred copies this sound comes again. Please guide what is setting powder?

1. Pull the plug {don't just turn it off} and let it sit a few minutes. It might power up with the machine reboot.
2. remove the developer unit and drum unit from the machine and thoroughly vacuum out the machine. You may want to remove the paper trays at the same time and vacuum the area above the trays.

3. Don't touch the drum. Are you sure the noise isn't from the Fuser / Fixing unit?

With the ADF, I agree that unplugging the adf (with mains unplugged) power up machine without adf, then power down, unplug mains, reconnect adf and power up...may work.


The other fault sounds like a failure of the recycler on the drum unit....carefully remove the drum without touching it. Check that the auger behind the cleaning blade is turning...it is possible that it is clogged or gears are broken....or the machine drive is not turning it. Be careful to refit the cleaning blade correctly or toner will be spilt from the cleaning area.

If you're sure the noise is coming from the drum change the cleaning blade.
You may have to vacuum the machine several times to get all the toner out. Good luck.
