Ricoh sp811dn does not recognize new toner cartridge

Been using this SP811DN printer for quite some time. Replaced the toner cartridges many times over. Today I had to replace the black toner cartridge; 820000 high capacity cartridge. Pulled the empty out and slid the new cartridge in. Closed up and waited. The new cartridge was not recognized. Pulled out the new cartridge and hit the end of the cartridge as usual, then put it back in. The alert message indicating replace toner cartridge still there. Thinking I may have received a bad cartridge I pulled another from my inventory - different lot number. Put this cartridge in and still received the alert message indicating the K cartridge is empty. Looked in the manuals and cannot find anything indicating why this happens. Does anyone have any ideas?

SOURCE: Brother 4070 Printer will not recognize new toner cartridge

Hi

Just cover the eyes (on both sides) that you can see in the bottom of the machine after removing the imaging cartrige with a small piece of electrical tape.

With printer switched on push the switch which is located inside the upper left side of printer (it is a small white switch) and then release it. 


Also try resetting the gear, take the cartridge out. On the gear side take off 2 screws, the black gear on top right side, with a small spring underneath. Just take it off and reset it (rotate clockwise) so it is not at the stopping point.

Please do accept this solution and revert for further assistance.

Thanks
Rylee

SOURCE: How to reset Black Toner Empty Message on 2430Dl

There are many problems like that and its not recommended to change toner from one printer to another.
but you should try: put the old toner (emty) in again, then turn off the printer, change toner and turn on printer again.
if thats not helping, then maybe you have a old FW so you can try to update the firmware.

SOURCE: "Ink cartridges cannot be recognized" when using genuine Epson

i had this happen to me twice with two different people, it is highly possible that your black inks are defective, its also highly possible that one of the other inks are causing this error. take them all out, and put one and see what happens, do this one at a time until you see something screwey.

also possible, the contacts on the printhead are dirty or are pushed in.

also possible, bad printhead.

SOURCE: Put in a brand new

Hi there maximum time we found it is a the head problem. The print head is what the cartridges sit in inside of the printer. For resolve the problem please follow these.

Open the printer and wait for the carriage to slide over. Some how if its not come then Unplug the printer & Manually slide the carriage.
Now Remove the ink cartridges from the print head & Use wet warm cotton swab or use alcohol to thoroughly clean the print head.
Repeat this until there is no ink residue coming off on the cotton swab. After finished it make the head dry then fix it back. Now Try to print something now
If that does not work then follow the next step.

Remove the printer data cable & restart the PC & printer. Then fit back the data cable & turn on the printer. Hope that's start working , if no luck then Uninstall the printer driver & restart the PC & Printer both again. Now install the driver of the printer and connect it with PC ,Turn on printer & go for a test print from the printer preference. Thanks & waiting for your reply.

My Toshiba e-Studio 3555c is not recognizing my new yellow toner cartridge.

If your Toshiba e-Studio 3555c is not recognizing your new yellow toner cartridge, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Make sure that the toner cartridge is properly installed. Remove the toner cartridge and reinsert it, making sure that it is securely in place.
  2. Check the toner cartridge for any signs of damage or wear. If the toner cartridge is damaged, it will need to be replaced.
  3. Clean the contacts on the toner cartridge and in the printer. Over time, the contacts can become dirty or corroded, which can interfere with communication between the toner cartridge and the printer.
  4. Try a different yellow toner cartridge. It is possible that the toner cartridge you are using is defective or incompatible with your printer.
  5. Restart your printer. Sometimes, simply restarting the printer can help to resolve communication issues between the toner cartridge and the printer.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it is possible that there is a problem with the printer's toner sensor or other hardware components. In this case, it may be necessary to contact a professional printer technician to diagnose and fix the issue.

Printer Ricoh sp 210SU "service call error SC491". using compatable cartridge instead of Ricoh original. Service centre suggests to change the cartridge to solve the issue. any idea else pl share me

SC491 on a Ricoh SP 210SU is a code for bias leak.

The machine detects that a bias leak has occured from the drum charge, development charge or transfer charge.
PWM signals are sampled at 20 msec. intervals. This SC is issued if 10 PWM samplings within 200 msec. are abnormal.

• HVPS (high voltage power supply) harness loose, broken, defective
• HVPS board defective
• AIO terminal defective (the terminal for the toner cartridge)
• Cycle the machine off/on
• Check all the harness connections of the HVPS
• Check spring-loaded AIO terminal installation behind the HVPS.
• Replace HVPS.

Usually this error is related to the cartridge. Some manufacturers of compatible cartridges will replace the cartridge with a new one.
At least they should give a discount based on how many pages that was printed before it failed.

I have not seen this problem with a new genuine Ricoh cartridge.
It is important that the cartridge is not refilled more then 3 times. There is no counter on this, and companies that refill cartridges they collect (with unknown number of cartridges) may have problems quite often.

Ricoh sp811dn toner cartridge is ot detected when replaced

In the back of the machine on the nozzle assembly there is a toner end sensor. It is possible it just needs blowing off clean. Excess toner spillage in that spot prevents the sensor reading correctly. However, if that do not work, it may need new sensor.

Installed new black toner but it still indicates it is empty and nothing will print!

Did you install a brand new cartridge? Or did you refill the old cartridge?
Ricoh has "smart chips" in the toner cartridges, and those tell the printer how much toner is used. If you refill the toner,the smart chip must BE REPLACED, the old chip will remain stuck at "empty".
Sucks, that Ricoh for you. That why that printer was $160 on Woot. LOL.
(Yea, I got suckered in too...)
