I don't know if this machine has the same system, but I recently had the same problem with an E-Studio 3511 that constantly asked for toner. It turned out the Toner Supply Up Auger was broken. It was a Bear to replace, but once I did, a lot of the problems and frequent calls from the customer went away. As a matter of fact, I haven't heard from them going on 2 months (Knock On Wood).

toshiba e35 and 3511.i dont know.but e35,e45 is same as DP 3500.DP 4500.Do you know that?Help me

When was the last developer change done? Pull the dev unit and see if it is overloaded with toner. If it is then the toner sensor should be replaced. There is a short auger in the toner unit that could be broken but usually it is one of the gears that is broken.
The 3511 has two toner transport auger the 35 has one.

e35 adding toner

check toner rotating mechanism at the back could be 180 degrees out of whack

[just a tech]

i have had problem with these before..problem was what MICKO said.. happened when customer removed toner cartidge and then closed front door before installing new cartridge..when that happens, the cartridge rotation unit rotates and the hole in collar misaligns..hope it helps..

[ganc67]

yeah one god test is to mark the toner bottle and check if it even turns then go back and follow steps to the toner drive including the 180 out of wack

are you from viet nam

i know that you used secondhand machines
let do something for it??
1.are your machine volt - let check the voltage 110v or 220v
2.what is your machine use toner- let check heard of toner - toner U or D or E.Them not same.
3.if you use toner away charge or added by toner pack. let check to keep toner's back straight.

Hi all! I'm bringing this up because I've got the same problem with my e-studio 3511.

I've checked the alignment of the toner cartridge with the collar, and that seems fine, i.e. the 'receiver' in the collar lines up with the port on the cartridge. If it is 180 degrees out, this would be visible without any disassembly, right (besides removing the toner cartridge)?

Based on the above discussion, that leaves the toner supply up auger, developer auger, various gears and the toner sensor in the developer.

There is a fair bit of toner in the developer. I'm not sure what 'enough' is, but it should cover the sensor. Does that tell me that the sensor isn't working?

If that is the case, and if everything else is working, then if I keep on going through the 'adding toner' cycle long enough, the developer should eventually overflow with toner, right?

Thanks for your help!

Yeah it shoudl pack up the DV unit. You could just plug the unit in to make the machine think it's inside, then run the toner motor and see if anything is coming out with a flashlight. If it isn't packing up or when you pull the DV unit if there is no "fresh" toner just below the entrance hole then it probably isn't getting there.

[cheemeister]

Thanks ToshibaTech for that test! I tried it, and no, there isn't any toner falling into the hole. So I guess it isn't the toner sensor... or at least that's not the only problem! (How much toner needs to be in the DV unit before the printer will stop trying to add toner??)

What should I try next? If the feed auger isn't working, how do I test that?

(FYI, the toner cartridge does roll around while the printer is trying to 'add toner.')

[ToshibaTech]

Next thing I would do is tear the toner hopper assy out of it and tear it apart and see what is broke. I'd say that's all that is wrong with it. Unless of course the bottle was just in upside down.

hi try to look what is the value of toner drop in service mode 05-201.if its higher over 150 or higher then the machine wont stop droping toner unitil it reach the desired value.

[cheemeister]

Ok, I'll try getting the hopper assembly out... but it's way down at the back, do I have to pull a lot of other things out to get at them? Or can I open up the back of the photocopier?

I'm pretty sure the toner cartridge is in the right way. I'm guessing everything that needs to be seen to determine if it is in the right way is fairly obvious, at the front of the machine and also looking down the toner cartridge tube to the back with a torch.

Smiley: Ok, I'll check that one out as well... I'll see if I can figure out how to find service mode.
