Take the cartridge out and reseat it. If you bought a compatible toner I would order an OEM HP brand toner. These machines don't work well with compatibles.

Hello

According to manual it means:

"Carousel rotation error: Replace the carousel drive motor or if the problem persists, replace the DC controller. It the error still persists, inspect or replace the engaging detection flag."

I think that you need to take it to service.

Best regards,

49 means data transfer error from your computer,please power off the printer and delete all print command from your computer ,try again best luck

Hello, The Magenta or RED toner cartridge should be removed and double check that you have indeed removed the pull tab located on the side of the cartridge which will remove the sealing tape off the new toner cartridge. The YELLOW toner cartridge on the other hand if it is not new then it is perhaps empty and needs to be replaced. Another option is to remove the YELLOW toner cartridge from the machine, Tap it and shake it side to side to loosen the toner that is in it, and replace it back into the machine, this will usually make it start to work again! Good Luck! Rich Lilja

If you are getting a repetitive dot on the page and only blue then it is likely that your Cyan cartridge is bad.
