    [Misc] Toshiba 4540c "Wait" During copy run.

    Checked alot of "Wait" related Toshiba problems on the forms pages.
    Seems this does happen time to time.

    My Problem: The client is only running black and stops copying and says "wait" while the
    machine runs on for a few minutes then starts copying again. Copies don't seem to be light
    for an add toner problem.
    I did check the thermistor in the fuser but it doesn't touch the roller and is clean.
    Is there another one i missed. I only seen thermal fuses.

    Try take out the fuser unit and check any burn heater lamp ( tube become white color ), there must be 1 lamp is broken resulting not enough heat...

    If all heater lamp is ok, then u can try swap the thermopile.

      Remove the fuser unit and clean the thermopiles. They are infrared sensors that look up at the fuser belt. Sometimes merely taking them out and cleaning them will do the trick. If the Black developer unit is in need of a developer change it will "dust up" the thermopiles with a toner cloud and cause them to work harder to get a good temperature reading; hence the "Wait" messages.
