Add toner ricoh aficio 2045
Toner supply is controlled with readings from TD sensor on the developing unit
and the I.D sensor above the drum by default.
These are low cost parts and easy to change.
(The TD sensor on this model have been known to fluctuate back and forth
by a fair margin so is a good place to start).
You could also try stripping down and cleaning out the toner hopper.
Check the four mylars are present and the grabber is opening wide enough
to grab the toner bottle nozzle successfully.
Check the toner hopper exit slider is opening fully when the PCU is
inserted.
I had one of these 'add toner' faults today and it was the toner hopper
all clogged up inside.
The side bit where the toner drops down had hardened clumps of toner
stuck around the side entrance mylar and the exit hole.
Check also the toner motor. I have seen these fail. Run
simulation output check for toner motor. I would remove the toner supply
unit and hold the motor when you run this simulation. Sometimes the motor
turns but does not have enough torgue to turn the toner supply unit.
