Hello,
I am hoping someone here can help me! I acquired this dinosaur of a machine and it was working fine at first. I love to repair printers and computers and have a basic general working knowledge about these machines, but nothing too in-depth. I am wondering if I am approaching the diag & repair correctly. Insight appreciated! Here is what I'm dealing with:
-Copier arrives on site working fine.
-After about 20 prints, the copier started to say "Add Toner [K]", and disallow me to use the machine further
-New OEM, Kyocera-branded cartridge tk-867k was added.
-Printer does not recognize any supplies % for Black when going to Status -> paper/Supplies, but with the old toner it recognizes 10%
-Printer says "adding toner" for quite some time and then ultimately again displays Alert/error message : "Add Toner [K]"
-Waste bottle was switched out with the toner, however, after just one hour of trying to get this copier to function, waste bottle is almost full again.
I have already ordered another OEM Toner in order to see if the Toner Cart was just bad/non-genuine/faulty RFID
If that does not work, I plan to replace the Developer Unit.
If this does not work, I was going to replace the RFID board that reads the Toner tag.
Am I on the right track here? Any suggestions or help from experience would be appreciated. I've seen threads with similar issues but none with tis exact combination (particularly the waste bottle filling so quickly)
