The procedure to load the dev must be carried out correctly or it will not work . The manual seems to be incorrect on how to do this.
Vigorously shake the dev bottle for about 5 mins and the attach to the front of the dev unit (I do not pull off the tear strip yet). Ensure the transfer belt lever is DOWN. Ensuring the door is OPEN, power up the machine. Enter SP mode. Cheat the front door safety switches and the machine should warm up. When warmed up it will beep twice. Enter the SP for dev fill (3-814-003 for black only). Press execute and as soon as the shaft on the dev unit starts rotating you can pull off the dev bottle tear strip. I tend to hold the bottle on with one hand and tap the sides of it with a screwdriver handle to ensure a good flow of dev. If it shows "fail" before the bottle is empty (because of poor flow of the dev into the dev unit), just turn the machine off and do the process again leaving the bottle attached. This can be done as many times as is necessary. When finished check the fill result with SP 3-815. Remove door cheats and the empty dev bottle.
Set the transfer lever to up and refit the toner supply unit. Ensure there is enough toner in the toner supply unit. Close the door and run SP 3-801-003 for black dev initialisation. Check result with SP 3-802.
This always works for me.

Gotta have the lever down, put the developer bottle on, pull the seal, close the door, turn on the machine, then run 3814. If you have the door open when you turn it on the machine will say load toner.

Good info, thanks

You nailed it turbo. That pumped was locked up tighter than a new england virgin. Easy to replace too. So I did that and replaced the dev again. Plus replaced the photocell on the xfer unit for the release lever. All worked out out like ricohslave said it would.
Thanks to all

No problems - with nearly 200 of this model in my area I rarely ever work on anything else (so you can imagine my mental state).
