    MX-4071 Toner Levels

    When viewing the machine info from MICAS, I can see the toner levels in one percent increments. But, when on-site, all I can see is 25% increments. I've looked through System Settings/SIMS, but haven't found a solution. Soft-switch? Sometimes, a toner cartridge feels very close to empty, but don't want to throw away good toner. This question pertains to most new Sharp models, not just the 4071.

    Wish Canada could get MICAS.

    When i setup my machines i set 26-69 A=1

    This turns off the preparation alert.

    Every copier ive checked in Sim 22-14 will always have +1 Installed, 0 Near end, and number of used toners.

    IE Installed 5, Near end 0, End 4

    With the auto ejection system the toners should be completely depleted.

    MICAS Mobile will show you the life of the toners in 1% increments.

    I wonder if a machine sold through Sharp Canada could be registered in MICAS? Have you heard a reason why Canada doesn't have MICAS?


    I contacted our SEC Service Rep about a MX-5051 dumping yellow DV as I couldn't find any documentation on it. He sends me an e-mail with photos and tips. A few days later someone on here posts a bulletin from Sharp Canada (maybe you?) about this with much more info that I was given. He may have even sent me two of the same photos. I don't understand the disconnect between countries. I have ran into this before with bulletins from Australia that addressed a problem that seemed to be top secret here.

    My opinion here.....


    I've seen this many times as well. I believe because the USA is such a litigeous country. The vetting and/or approval process to release anything here probably requires many more "rubber stamps", than say Canada or Austrailia.

    If you print out a 22-6 it should show the toner levels in the smaller increments. Should be located towards the end of the maintenance and usage counters on page 1.

    No, it shows them in 25% values. So does SIM 22-14. So does the home button double tap.

    Circled shows Life of the toner which is what has been used, not Residual or Remaining.

    SIM 26-69 set value G to 0. This sets the MIB reporting increment to 1%.

    Failing to plan is planning to fail!!!
