    AR-208D toner is low message

    Is there a way to turn this message off? If there is could someone tell me how to go about it? Thanks Ron

    I don't think that there is a program or simulation to remove the toner low indicator...

      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 could ask the same thing.

          You realize that every copier must have some sort of toner detection. It's so basic, do I even need to bring it up?

          It sounds to me like your trying to fix symptoms, not causes. Maybe you should find out why you're getting toner add indications. =^..^=

            On the MX-2300N's and most of the MX's, you can change test command 26-69 and disable detection. So I suggest make sure you know what you are stating.

              Does this message appear at all times or only when toner is low? If at all times, then yes, troubleshoot the problem. If it is only when the toner is actually low, there are soft switch settings to change when the message is displayed.

                This is not an MX. What do you think would happen if you disabled toner add?

                The developer would de-tone until you got blank copies. And what does that achieve? Nothing, except having another problem to solve.

                  Mojorolla----do you know what the soft switch number is?

                  Blackcat-----I never said "toner add" only toner low, remember?

                    The soft switches are sim 66-xx, and only related to fax functions. This is not the worst manual I've ever read, but close. There isn't any sort of description of the toner low/toner empty criterion.

                    On the one occasion that I addressed an Add Toner indication that wouldn't clear, after the developer and developing unit, the fix was the MCU.

                    For a person asking for help, you sure are a f'ing know-it-all. I'll tolerate a certain amount of your over-blown ego, but remember, we're all volunteers here. =^..^=

                      Blackcat, this is the same person who started this "gem" of a thread, are you surprised at his ignorance and lack of manner?

                      http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/sh...p-manuals.html

                      Pure genius... I say let him solve his own problems, since he can get the manuals for free off the internet he should be able to do everything we can, right?

                      Oh wait...

                            I wholeheartedly agree, I'm not sure if this other fellow is trolling or just a genuine jerk, but either way he should be going back to the bridge he crawled out from under if that's his attitude towards people who are trying to be nice to him and help him, despite his anti-social manner.
