Toner
What This Means in Plain Terms
The motor that turns the toner bottle is working harder than it should, or the bottle is not seated correctly. The machine stops so it does not damage the supply drive.
Common causes are a toner bottle that was not fully locked in, a bottle with excess resistance, or a damaged bottle. The motor itself can also fail.
Safe things you can try
- Turn the machine off and wait until the display goes dark.
- Open the front cover and remove the toner bottle that was last installed or recently replaced.
- Shake the bottle gently as directed on the bottle label, then reinstall it until it locks firmly.
- If you have a spare new bottle of the same color, install that instead.
- Close the cover, turn the machine on, and wait for Ready.
Do not do these
- Do not force a bottle that will not lock.
- Do not open the toner bottle or try to refill it.
Never enter service mode or clear safety codes yourself. Those steps can damage the machine or leave a safety lock uncleared.
When to call for service
If reseating or replacing the bottle does not clear the code, the toner supply motor or related hardware needs a technician.
