You can try this:
- remove the toner hopper
- seal the toner entrance hole at the pcu with the plug
- make full back copies until the toner-end condition is reached
- unseal the PCU and re-install the toner
that's it
But I would recommend to disable the toner-icon display via SP
Edit: Oh - I just realized that you have a MPC5000 not MP5000 - this is definetly another issue in your case.
Have you tried to install SPC PCU's? Check if the SP "New Unit Detection" is in the default state (I think it should be "on"). Keep in mind that the TD-sensor PWBs at the dev units are containing some kind of ID chips as well - this error may be connected with a faulty or wrong (=SPC820 series) TD sensor chip.
