    There is a simple sensor with a feeler arm above the waste toner bottle at the front.
    Reseat the waste toner bottle / check the spring mech that pushes the waste toner bottle up against the sensor / check the sensor it's not dirty or damaged.

      I'm with Cipher on this. Here's some added info:

      waste toner full will not clear - check waste sensor with SP 5-803-13 bit 3 (0 not full, 1 full)

      Relax! This firmware injection won't hurt...but it will take 45 minutes.
