Hi,

For this machine I don't think there is a reset, but it is tempormental about the light that shines throught the back of waste cartridge.

Copy and paste this link directly into your address field, and see if you have it inserted correctly and then reboot.

SOURCE: replace waste cartridge on Xerox Phaser 7400

I just fixed mine. You need part #604K47890 Gear Coupling Assembly Kit. Cheapest I found was $6.99 at www.sparepartswarehouse.com plus $13.95 s/h. Remove the waste cartridge & you can see the white plastic gear. I tried to disassemble the printer (using service manual) in order to replace this part. Good luck. It looks like you need to take the WHOLE thing apart. Easier method is to get a drill or dremel & grind away the thin metal to make the whole slightly larger. Just be careful with the dust/particles. I did this & it worked perfectly.

SOURCE: Waste Cartridge Full

The optical sensor looks at a small compartment, that has clear walls; when the waste toner gradually fills the container, it eventually reaches the level above a "wall" between the main container and this small compartment, spills inside and makes not transparent anymore. Some toner might have gotten there and the sensor gives a false full signal. You can get rid of it by cleaning this compartment with compressed air.
Obviously, the sensor might be plain broken as well, but the above is perfectly true - it saves the day when the printer stops and we don't have a new waste container... I pour out the toner and clean the inside thoroughly with compressed air, especially that small look-through compartment.

1. Try to put the orginal one back in place if that works then you might not have gotten the right one or you might have a defected one. Compare the used one to the new one to see if anything has changed.
2. also make sure the print cartridge assembly is well screwed down 116-1197-00. also make sure you don't have any wires jamed in the print cartridge assembly
3. Also make sure the waste cartridge full sensor is in place and not damaged and make sure the connecters are connected well . 116-1299-00
4. Finally if you have installed new developers into the machine you might have not placed them properly so you would have to reinstall them again. 116-1115-00
