    C452 displays only b+w printing is now possible

    Hi All
    looking for help with a C452
    bought as a job lot of 10 got 1 of them playing up

    it is low mileage only 40k total electronic and mechanical count

    machine copies and prints in b+w and Colour everything works ok
    but displays the following


    only b+w printing now possible
    fax cannot be used currently
    Toner C low replace when indicated

    the machine does not have fax fitted and it is set to off
    ive replaced the toner with a different one with atleast 3/4 full

    ive tried data clear and firmware

      check that the IU life is on Non-stop and that the fax is enabled.

        You need to turn the MFP off and on. When it powers up look for any errors that allow you to "continue operation". If the MFP detects errors that can be self isolated then you will get these messages until the problem is corrected and power is cycled. Alternately, someone may have gone through service mode and isolated these items. There is also the possibility that the MFP was managed by a 3rd party app and it can no longer connect and use those features. The toner low message can only be cleared with a new cartridge. You need to get a new toner and allow the MFP to run until the "replace toner now" message appears, then install new cartridge. Emujo
        If you don't see your question answered in the forum, please don't think it's OK to PM me for a personal reply...I do not give out firmware and/or manuals.

          Make sure the contact pins on the machine where the toner loads are not bent. I've had bent ones cause this problem and other goofy electronic glitches.
