Hello all!
This machine is an absolute unit, ran it for a solid 3 years with absolutely no issues, I guess it's only appropriate it needs work at this point
It works, sometimes, but it won't print more than 15-20 sheets at max before throwing 091-312. Sometimes when rebooted, it'll throw 042-325, but reseating the waste toner container and rebooting again seems to work. Is it possible that both /all of the issues are related?
What I've done recently:
According to the service manual the problems can potentially be resolved by replacing the "Charge (K) Preclean HVPS" and, either make sure the waste toner collection path is unobstructed (I'm not sure how to access this area of the machine) or replace the "Main Motor." Replacing both of these items would be exceptionally costly, around $350-$400 USD, which I cannot afford to do at the moment, so I'd much rather repair them if possible!
Thanks in advance for any responses/advice! As is the case for many, I'm essentially dead in the water until I get this thing repaired!
