Kyrocera Mita FS 3140 Toner feed

[iscott]

Got 2 FS3140's one is fine the other add toner will not go off.
Its putting a little toner in but not much. We let it run twice for 15 Mins.
We swapped out the Toner Cartride as well as the drum / toner hopper. No Joy.

Are you using the original toner. All the other stuff won't work in this machine.

Yes all OEM toners.......

I would look at the gears that drive the DV-Unit. Maybe there are some gears or clutches that aren't working properly.

Re: Kyrocera Mita FS 3140 Toner feed

I am having the same issue... using compatible cartridge... changed maintenance kit and installed developer unit and then started toner fill... it won't stop... tried going back to old developer... keeps filling... tried old toner... keeps on filling... tried firmware... it cleared out all the network setting but kept on filling... tried taking it back to factory... keeps on filling... tried to do factory reset in service mode... and memory clear in service mode and its still filling... took a look at new toner cartridge... found it had issues opening the toner slit... new toner shows 6% on machine... old toner shows not even 0%

My problem started when I tried to fill the developer with toner...
anyone know a way to stop the toner fill...
a postscript code or something of the like...

right now we are sending off for an oem toner... but I don't think that will work...
I will update you guys when I look at this machine again...

Re: Kyrocera Mita FS 3140 Toner feed

I wonder if there is a prescribe command to stop developer refresh for fs 3140
I am going to try engine reset
ENGINE RESET
!R! EGRE;EXIT;
but I think there may be a more direct approach...

Go back into the service menu to the developer refresh screen. If there is a star (*) by developer press the OK key two times and power cycle the printer. This has worked for us on several occasions. Sometimes these just get stuck in this mode and there is no set way to get them out. Using OEM toner makes a lot of difference too. We have also had to install a known working developer from another printer and let it run its course, then put the new developer back in and it works fine. You may have to experiment with it. Make sure the toner sensor board in the bottom of the developer unit is clean and toner free. Hope one of these works for you.

Check if the developer drive gear is broken. It happens with bad toner powder and also causes faint or blank printouts.
