    The clear heavy plastic bags that Ricoh ships parts in are a good size to dump waste toner into.

    I guess it might be from the time I was probably in the Army Reserves back in the day, we were forward area direct support and spent most of our training time out in the field. When I was out on the perimeter overnight then I had to find something to keep me awake and alert. And the easiest things were usually the most effective.

    I have had a couple do this to me but no where near to 50%, I thought it might have been cause from being left in my car for too long but cant confirm.

    Had it happen straight out of the box, as soon as we got it from Ricoh. We started checking them when they came in. Stopped ordering them because it was such a pain, emptying them only takes a few minutes and you don't have to worry if it will work or not when you put it back in.

    Re: MPC2050 waste toner container, empty or replace?

    Hi guys,

    I am having a trouble with a MPC2551 and waste toner bag.
    We usually empty both of them and as for now we get no problem.

    But Yesterday we had and issue. After emtpying TBs, machine won't clear message and stop working.
    We managed sp code to reset (Sp 3 902 17/19/20) but machine goes into near "empty condition" and stop after few copies.

    We notices that SP 3-800-001 after reboot goes into condition "2" while SP 3-810-001 stays in condition "1"
    We checked sensors and they look good. Changed toner bags with recycled one with no success.

    What else can we check?
    we raised sp-3-800-003 to 2.000 in order to have more time to investigate, but no light at the end of the tunnel.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks

    My tech solved it.

    Deeply scanning SP pages we found SP 5 607 13 (not mentioned in our italian manual)
    Switched to 1 and then back to 0 (after reboot) solved the issue.

    Hope to help someone!

    Regards.

    A while back, I believe, there was an RTB about this. they say that the coil jumps out of the guide that holds it in place and then the noise is the result.

    What is 5607-13? My USA service manual (current version, just downloaded) doesn't list it.
