    Disable waste toner full message MP5000

    Can't remember the code to disable waste toner near full or find it in the manual, I know I've disabled this message before. If anyone knows it,please share.

    Cheers and Merry Xmas.

        Just out of curiosity ... you'd rather that the waste toner overflowed, or backed up into the cleaning units? I don't really see the benefit here, unless you're trying to create more work for yourself. =^..^=
        If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
        1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
        2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
        3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
        4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
        5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

          I have always been told that 2960 is a temporary fix for when you have a bad sensor and the customer needs to use the machine while you order in a new sensor. Used to be a problem with 35 and 45 page machines.

              The benefit is the machine with a knackered sensor will continue to operate until the new part arrives. Beside that, anyone who has worked on these machines knows that you will have plenty of service calls before the waste toner has filled up again. Only takes a couple of minutes per visit to check/empty the waste anyway , which is part of my minimum call procedure on machines with waste that the customer can not empty.

                Thanks for educating lil' ol' me. I thought this was just a prank on your co-workers. =^..^=
