Re: MP 5055 won't detect new toner
Did you happen to figure this one out? I'm experiencing the same issue with an MP 6055 with identical symptoms. Have to run 3-100-001 to get it to go then it starts shading background until you turn 3100 back off. Then it will run the whole bottle. Td sensor is reporting only 3.2% so I'm wondering if I need to replace the Dev unit
Howdy folks
2 weeks back i had a MP 5055 that kept saying to replace the toner even when you put a new toner in.
Checked toner motor & toner detect switch in SP modes. Toner bottle turns and the switch changed states. When you put a toner in and close the door the machine fires up for 5 seconds, spins the drum a few turns and the add toner message never leaves the screen.
I went into SP 3100 and turned off toner end detection and the machine fired up and started printing. It was super overtoned. I ran 50 sky shots with 1" on lead edge blank to prevent jamming and the background went away. Machine seemed good after that.
History on machine:
Machine does about 40k a month.
First drum went 160k, i usually get 200k on these.
We don't rebuild these drums, put in a entire PCUDU
2nd drum had lines at 80k.
3rd drum seems to be ok so far but im wondering if the machine didn't calibrate properly. April 15 we dropped them 2 MP6054 toners which yield 37k each. Customer chewed thru those and ran out on May 4 (obviously the force is not strong there
). I went down with another toner to verify the toners were empty and they were. I put a new toner in and the machine refused to start up. I had to change SP3100 again. Machine started printing fine with no back ground, after about 30 pages it started leaving background on the back of the pages. There is some toner leaking from the front and rear of the drum.
Im thinking new drum and going into SP3701 and manually triggering the drum replacement to make sure the machine calibrates and resets the counters.
Any thoughts or anybody seen this before?
Thanks
