How to rotate toner cartridges in konicaminolta 1600w

SOURCE: Error light flashes ... Message: Open the printer

Hi Connie,

If you take out all the toners you will find a contact at the bottom where the chip from the cartridges touch , these three springs work loose.

If you notice them loose, you need to take the black clip out split it and solder them back on; that will sort the problem out.

Let it go through its checks. When you take the toner out, clean it, wipe off the chip (upper right) then snap it back in. It may stop with the yellow and it may continue through the other colors.

What I found, is that it is really the paper feed being out of sync. Keep with it, it will resolve itself.

Also, take out the drum and turn the paper feed forward till it clicks and realign your paper.

This is actually a desigbn fault on the magicolor printers. Underneath the toner rack is the 3 pin chip reader - normally white and plastic with 3 metal contacts sticking out.

it is at the bottom of the printer so very often toner drops onto it and the sensors dont work, it also takes a bit of a beating as the cartridges rotate. Its very easy to replace - but you need the part,

Minolta should have put it at the top rather than the bottow where it gets covered in dust.

these guys helped me a lot
