Minolta C364 Toner no Add in Developer

[andrecopfac]

My Minolta C364 machine is not adding toner automatically in BLACK, and it is not showing any end of CMYK toner, I have to add black toner manually in service mode after the machine launches code for lack of toner in the developer.


does anyone know what can be done? I already cleaned the hopper system and the gears are working freely.

currently I use the C8000 toner replacing the C364 bottle and adding ferrite little by little.

I really really don't mean to sound like a personal attack, that being said, that is one of the most frankenprinter things I have ever read here.
Adding ferrite manually and using the wrong toner I don't see how you would get a consistent output or the machine to stabilize properly.
Is there no 514 toner anywhere?
The sensors in the toner hopper are probably confused and I really don't know how to advise you when the operating conditions are so random.
Good luck and again I apologize if this sounded like a personal attack, it's not I'm just really at a loss of direction to point you given the way you are running it.

you are going to have to clean out the toner hopper, dev unit.

get the correct developer .. toner.

install.. initialize..test.

That may work if you know exactly what are you doing.
Not recommended but possible.
Pay strong attention on your TCRs and make necessary corrections if under/over tonned.
I think you can contact one of great Brazilian techs here tulitron who can helps you out.

Try resetting the K dev tank to see if that will help. If the "ferrite" you are using is premixed at 6.5% then there is no reason for it not to work. It could be that there is some kind of obstruction in the toner path that is causing it to feed slow like the tube going to the devtank or the auger in the hopper that is blocked. It will catch up when you are adding it manually but can not keep up in normal working conditions.

Do an engine error clear for good measure.

Good afternoon friend
I already did this procedure, to add toner without the cap covering the set of toner bottles, and they rotate normally, what happens is similar to what the friend above said, when there is a lot of black coverage in the prints, it seems that the same does not account for filling the toner revealing box and following up. But strange is that the machine stopped asking for any of the toners, they run out of the bottle, the machine drops to 1% in the TCR and gives a code.


I'm going to try to disassemble the dnv hopper and clean the sensor inside, but I'm not so hopeful that this is it.

Check white bushings A5C1RA0000.

It's not the bottles. You need to open the container where the bottle fits to throw the toner in the hopper and observe if the hopper black motor rotates.WhatsApp Image 2023-04-06 at 16.18.08.jpg


The black hopper motor is behind this gray plastic cover.

You are so much more tactful than I am. I couldn't think of a way to phrase that answer. =^..^=

Re: Minolta C364 Toner no Add in Developer

Just my humble opinion. There is just to much time wasted on this nonsense!

Plain and simple get the right toner or suitable substitute and be done with it. There is plenty of generic if oem toner not available where you are. If that don't work you have received some FREE professional advice that you can use if by some remote chance it's not the toner you are "manufacturing"......

Re: Minolta C364 Toner no Add in Developer

It helps out in a pinch to know what works. I mean tested and working. C8000 toner could be of a smaller particle size.
Where does the "ferrite" come from? DV411?

What happens if you run cyan half tones? 30 at 255 should keep up in density or if it errors out...

Re: Minolta C364 Toner no Add in Developer

As he himself said that he supplies ferrite manually, we do not know how much is inside the developing unit.
It may have a higher percentage than due and not have space for toner.


We'll be here for days putting the possibilities while I could replace it with the right developer and use the right toner. The printer has no problem. They gave her a problem. We all know the solution.


Every day is a shot in the dark.
