Hi,

How about the green handle that locks the toner in place?

If it is broken the copier will never add toner because it opens the bottle to let the toner out. How about did you try to run in sevice mode to do a "Force Toner" and see what happens..

If you still have this red light toner flashing then the TD sensor got disconnected or is broken, the copier needs service because it's not detecting that it actually has enough toner inside to copy...

Please leave me comment, if you need further assistance

It is copy lamp lighting abnormality. It could be a mulfunction with copy lamp, ccd or the wire harness.

This is a typical fuser lamp issue. This is usually caused by a fluctuation in current supplied to the fuser assembly when the copier is warming up.

This cannot be solved by powering off the unit nor by unplugging it!

Follow the simple steps below to correct the issue:

1. Power on the unit.
2. When the LED display starts flashing "H" and "4", Press C and Auto button(this is the leftmost button with the copier console facing you)
3. Repress the C and Auto Buttons again
4. Press the copies button until 14 appears on the LED.
5. Then Press the BIG Blue COPY button(the rightmost button with the copier console facing you)

Hurray, that's all folks

Hello, Here are the steps involved in replacing the drum assembly as copied from a users manual:

DRUM CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
The useful life of the drum cartridge is approximately 18,000 copies. When the internal counter reaches approximately 17,000 copies, the drum replacement required indicator will light up indicating that replacement of the drum cartridge will be needed soon. When the indicator begins to blink, the unit will stop operating until the cartridge is replaced. Replace the drum cartridge at this time.


1 Remove the TD cartridge (Toner Cartridge). Hold the drum cartridge handle and
gently pull the cartridge out. Dispose of the old drum cartridge in accordance with local regulations.
3 Remove the new drum cartridge from the protective bag and remove the protective cover from the cartridge. Then gently install the new drum cartridge.


When closing the covers, be sure to close the front cover securely and then close the side cover. If the covers are closed in the wrong order, the covers may be damaged. Do not remove the protective cover on the drum portion (black paper) of
a new drum cartridge before use. The cover protects the drum against external light.
Do not touch the surface of the drum (green portion) of the cartridge. Doing so may cause smudges on the copies.


4 Gently install the TD cartridge. Close the front cover and then the side cover by pressing the round projections near the side cover open button. The drum
replacement required indicator will go out and the start indicator will light up.

is this a laser machine that takes dry toner if it is it sounds like it is out of toner.

This code is related to the exposure lamp, Either the lamp is burnt or the fuse, a small device in the carriage of the lamp, is blown due to overheating. The reset is made with the machine switched on and by pressing the micro switch (right bottom corner) on the main board ( back of the machine).
GOOD LUCK.
