MP 4002 Waste Toner Nearly Full

[copier tech]

Quick question, I have an mp4002 with the waste near full message, I need to go back & empty the transfer belt, but my question is how long will this message be displayed, eg will it soon say "full" & then stop the machine printing etc?

Thanks

if i remember correctly depending on how much coverage, about 1000 copies

Hi there!
There´s a RTB about this problem. If you clean the sensor & the contacts and the message apears again after a few days/weeks, then the only way to solve the problem is to change the whole unit($$$$$$). We´ve tried only to change the sensor - forget it.

Sod changing it, just switch the bloody sensor off. SP2961 I think. These filthy buggers will require a dev, drum or web change well before the waste is full.
