Are you using OEM toner? Can you turn the bottle motor in output mode?

Re: MP 5001

Hello..Thanks again for feedback . The machine is using Ricoh toner for that model...the toner motor is my next part to replace although it does turn in the output mode and seems to be adding toner .

Check ID sensor as well. if coated in toner so only see's black when reading drum patch it will think it is toned ok and not add toner.

Thanks...the sensor was checked and cleaned ...perhaps it is marginal ....will look into it more .

Is the drum OEM? We had huge problems with light copies because of compatibles (Katun).

We reverted back to OEM and all the problems went away!
