    Sharp MxM-753/waste toner

    have two MXM-753.One the waste toner is filling up and causing the waste gears to sound like a machine gun.The process unit has been replaced and vacuum out the process unit.I replace the dv and cal the dv{25-2} and did tc 44-6 44-26 and tc 64-5.Since the other MXM 753 doesn't have the same issue I looked at my firmware and they are the same.When the waste unit is full and I check the toner I still have about 1/4 toner left in the bottle.I did put it in toner save mode.I check IDNC to see if Sharp put up a bulletin on this...didn't see one.has anyone else seen this issue?thanks for any imput.

    You'll have that issue if the customer is running small copy/print jobs.

        Since you've already changed out the developer you covered my first suggestion. When the developer starts overtoning, it dumps more waste toner. The waste receptacle in the toner cartridge has just barely enough volume to start with.

        The thing they did on the Dragon I (AR-M550N) was to reduce toner usage by lightening up the images. There was a long list of adjustments ... let's see if I can find the bulletin.

        Nope. It was at the time we were just transitioning from paper manuals to electronic manuals. A lot of those bulletins were on paper and now lost.
        Does anybody have that bulletin on reducing toner usage. I think you might be able to do most of those adjustments on the Dragon III. =^..^=

        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.

            check the toner supply section in service manual, there is a waste toner full sensor for the toner cart. Also you should do 46-74 when setting up and pm(or drum , dev change.) I have customer at a hospital that just prints low coverage docs(about 4%)from the main frame and they get over 100,000 pages per toner cart and the waste box may overfill, only had one machine gun call. don't know how well the waste box sensor works , but on the arm700 and mxm700 series, machine gun calls were common.

              maybe you would be well advised to disassemble and clean the waste toner tubes... they get built up with hardened toner...there is a tech tip or something that sharp put out...
