Can I empty my Xerox 6110 waste toner container and put it back in again, or will it wreck my machine? What's the best way to do it?

For me this used to happen quite a lot. Finally I figured out it was because the waste toner container was full.
Buy a new one, or empty it.

If you can remove the waste toner cartridge go ahead and empty it out manually. Make sure that it is completly clean out. I use compressed air to flush out any residue.

Try this link:

Thread can you empty and reuse xerox docucolor 250 waste toner containers

Switch OFF your machine and remove waste toner and clean up the bottle(locate at your left side)

No you should not empty this bottle. It is designed to keep the excess toner inside itself and should be disposed of properly. NOTE: To return the used Waste Toner Container for recycling, follow the instructions included with the new container. If the instructions or shipping label are not available, click on the [Recycling] link under the Product Resources section of this window for additional information. Follow this link for detailed instructions on how to replace the bottle once you have a new one onsite. http://www.support.xerox.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?St=161,E=0000000002703235792,K=5302,Sxi=14,Case=obj(1554) Hope it helps!

Is the waste toner cartridge full? If so you can vacuum out the waste toner and re-use the container. The waste container is on the left hand side with the front flap down.

That machine does not have a waste toner container like the xerox phaser 7400. What it does is all the waste toner is cleaned at the IBT belt. If you remove your IBT belt part number 016-2000-00 you will see there is a plastic container at the end and that is where the wast toner is.

Open your user manual.

Or get one - go to google or samsung.

4. remove the container cap from the back side and cap the opening

5. take the new waste container out of its package

6. install the new waste toner container.

You may wish to TRY EMPTYING the waste toner, but you will find toner is the messiest and possibly dangerous (inhallation, etc) stuff you've worked with. it is an extremely find powder and can cause an awful mess and is best disposed of by capping and replacing the container with a new one (shop around to find them).

DO NOT attempt to vacuum up toner - just my personal opinion - I suspect many vacuums may not have fine enough "bags" to capture this intentionally very fine dust. BUT Toner vacuums do exist and some "may" work.

ok on the right side of the copier lower right cover 2 screws pakes the panel off behind it is a large plastic bottle pull it out empty it put it back in. then in this order touch these keys... add func// 2 & 8 at same time / then add func again screen should change to serv mode.. then in this order touch copier / counter / misc/ waste toner / clear /ok turn off and on good luck
