Taskalfa 5500i Error Code C7101

[spid3rguy]

Dear Techs,

I purchased Taskalfa 5500i with good print quality and the machine was running fine till 5000 copies but after that print got diminished. I used 132 to add toner but nothing happened. The toner box was full but machine showed it running out of toner. I changed it with original cartridge then toner fed into machine. But this error came up and now its going anywhere. I can only make 5 copy at a time, more than that error c7101 come to screen.

Please guide me how to set good values manually with U131.
Screen shots are as under:

Make sure that the developer unit is properly locked in place. If it doesn't help, you will need to replace it.

OEM toner??

OEM toner??

Thanks for your reply. I am using OEM Toner Box but toner is from other cartridge. Means i have put it from top through a hole!

Please tell me if this machine can detect empty toner and can not used again again?

And do I have to purchase a new OEM Toner?

Will this help?

5500i toners have an rfid chip that the machine tracks, simply adding more toner to a cartridge that the machine has already determined is empty will not allow the unit to add toner to the developer. Just put in a new toner cartridge for the 5500i! You said that you added toner from another cartridge, what cartridge? Is it compatible with the 5500i? All Toner is not the same. You are creating more problems for yourself than is necessary.

Hello

I have several of these machines: Kyocera 5500i Utax CD1455 and error C7101 - black developer error. I searched and dug and found what causes this rather common mistake. Although the developer has a lifetime of up to 600,000 prints, sometimes even after about 100,000 shows this error and replace it? after all, the developer is 600,000, so I was looking and it turns out and this probably applies to all development teams in kyocers / Utaxach. A film is glued between the td sensor and the developer housing, which should not be there in the developer. The td sensor housing adheres to this film and the flag itself is wiped from the other side with a flag, which after some time causes deformation of this film, so that the sensor does not overlap the sensor and the toner level sensor does not read. You should remove this film (cut out) then secure the sensor so that the developer does not spill on the bottom of the developer. In this way I saved 4 developer teams. The level of sensor reading from 15 jumped immediately on 520 and the machines have been running for over 3 weeks. I will add that you can buy the developer itself and the black magnetic roller in china

Dear Techs,I purchased Taskalfa 5500i .... error c7101 .......
Please guide me how to set good values m
This error means something went wrong with values of (Developer/Toner)
the main culprit is the t/c sensor or the ID sensor on the Developer unit
other time (real percent is not equal i.e if toner is more than developer copies will be paled if developer is more a black background will appear while text is not dark enough
the solution
u should have the unit refilled with a new developer and go to U131 and execute and hit start
(make sure you have the right toner for you machine with good quality)

or you will have to change the Developer unit
-----------------


Few occasions the hopper is blocking toner path so you have to make sure it's not clogged either

First thing I'd do is run a bunch of skyshott to get all the unknown toner out of the DV unit and then put OEM toner in and run calibration. You may end up having to replace the DV unit.
