    [Misc] Bizhub C3110 shows replace k toner

    As the title says i'm fighting this issue, machine displayed empty K toner I replaced with a new one but the message remains.

    I took out all the toners & IU's cleaned all contacts, updated the firmware no luck.

    No Idea how to proceed with this one!?

    What have you done so far? =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

      Black toner was empty indeed before replacement? Whaf about consumables life?

          Yes the first K toner was empty so fitted a new one, message didn't change.

          I can't print off the IU life consumable counter list with the empty K toner message so I was wondering if the K IU was at end of life could this stop the K toner empty message from clearing?

            I would try to use ENGINE DIPSW 28, set this to 1 to force clear toner empty state, then return it to 0.
            At first you will need to enable ENGINE DIPSW via soft switch 59, set this to 1.

              Can you manually trickle some toner from the new cartridge, by turning the coupler? Some of the seal may remain, or the drive may be broken, or the toner may be fused in the toner cartridge. I think I'd start there before looking at the machine, especially if it consumed the previous cartridge correctly. =^..^=

              1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
              2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.

                Possibly yes, but any other error/jam can also prevent K toner empty from clearing.
                I had a case like you. Customer was also pulling out the fuser and didn't put it back all the way in (back side). Somehow the door was closed (front side).

                I had to re-seat the fuser first, and then toner empty was cleared.

                  Can you spin the toner bottle yourself?

                        Replace chip, should be fine.

                        Some customers touch chip when they`re changing toner. Its only 63mA i think

                              I sent this client a new set of toners this seems to have resolved the issue. Thanks all.
