1. Open front door and pull out toner hopper.
2. Remove toner and make sure it still hase the clear cap on the top fully inserted in the bottle. If cap is missing and you can see the toner in bottle, it's a lost cause get a new toner bottle.
3. Lay toner bottle in hopper and push toner hopper in the machine while keeping the green latch up all the way through the pushing motion. This is critical to ensure the cap will come off. Once toner hopper is pushed all the way in, push the green lever down. Again it is mportant to mention that the gree lever must be up till the toner hopper is ushed in all the way. Then and only then the green lever may be pushed down.
4. Allow machine to load toner.
5. If it still says add toner, open and close front door. Again allow machine to load toner. You may have to do this up to five times (open and close front door) to replenish the deleoper unit with toner.
This problem is common with these machines if you do several copies of a dark original or print. The developer gets depleted of toner, it just cant keep up and then the machine says add toner.

Plunger from the top of the previous bottle is probably still stuck in the machine. Remove the toner bottle and check/remove .

Alot of times when the PCU has reached it's life, it will continually say add toner. You might be able to do a bandaid repair by good cleaning, but I think the answer is to replace the pcu. Another idea, if you cheat the front door with folded paper or whatever, you should be able to watch the toner bottle. Is it turning? The toner motors can go bad where they don't come on therefore not adding any toner. Good luck. Please rate this. Thanks.

We have a Kyocera Mita KM 1510 and I am getting an error code C710 and the add toner light is on. I put in a new toner cartridge but the error message and the light are still on. Any suggestions?

C 710 is a Toner Sensor Problem

Defective toner sensor - Replace toner sensor

Poor contact of the toner sensor connector terminals - Reinsert the connector. Also check for continuity within the connector cable. If none, repair or replace cable.

Developer problem - Replace developer.

How do I install the toner cartridge?

I reproduce below the content from Ricoh official website. The instructions to install toner cartridge are as follows:

Note: You can make about 50 copies even after the char_ric09.gif Add Toner indicator begins flashing, but replace toner early to prevent poor copy quality.
Please read the following warnings and notes before attempting to add toner.
WARNING
  • Do not incinerate used toner or toner containers. Tonerdust might ignite when exposed to an open flame. Dispose of used tonercontainers in accordance with local regulations.
  • Keep toner (used or unused) and toner containers out of reach of children.
  • Iftoner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and moveinto a fresh air environment. Consult a doctor if necessary.
  • If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush immediately with large amounts of water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
  • If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large amount of water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
  • Avoidgetting toner on your clothes or skin when removing a paper jam orreplacing toner. If your skin comes into contact with toner, wash theaffected area thoroughly with soap and water.
  • Iftoner gets on your clothing, wash with cold water. Hot water will setthe toner into the fabric and may make removing the stain impossible.
To replace the toner, follow these steps:
  1. Keep the device switched on and only add toner when "Toner is Almost Empty" is displayed
  2. Open the Front Cover

  7. Push the neck of the Toner Bottle back towards the device until you can see the top of the bottle

    00174.jpg

  8. Lift out the Toner Bottle by the neck - being careful not to scatter loose toner

    00172.jpg

  9. Dispose of the Toner Bottle in accordance with your local environmental instructions
  10. Obtain a new Toner Bottle and shake it gently from side to side at least 5 times
  11. Remove and discard the black cap and place the Toner Bottle in the tray with the neck towards you
  12. Push the neck back into the black housing of the tray

    00173.jpg

  13. Push the whole assembly back into the device until it clicks into place
  14. Push the green handle down fully and close the Front Cover
  15. The device will perform a few seconds of internal checks before it is ready for use again
Important:
  • Fault may occur if you use toner other than the recommended type.

  • When adding toner, do not turn off the operation switch. If you do, settings will be lost.

  • Always add toner when the device instructs you.

  • When a message "Add toner." is shown on the display panel, replace the toner.

  • Store the toner bottles in a cool, dry place free from direct sunlight.

  • Store on a flat surface.

  • Do not repeatedly install and remove toner bottles. This will result in toner leakage.

  • Do not shake the removed toner bottle. Remaining toner might scatter.
