Hi i wana ti refill toner powder but dont know how is.please help me. thanks. Ahmad

Power it down, open main door to force a realignment then power back on after 5 mins. Unplug the power cord to do this.

1.Wrong ink chip
2.Refilled with incorrect toner powder
3.Refilled but toner chip not reset

Please use good quality toner and then try it, it will best to use genuine cartridges, rather than refiiled ones, because that will save your money for a long run.

Hi Camru,

Can you tell me the exact model of Cyan toner you are using as there are two for this model a high and a low capacity one, and I also would like to know if you are using original brother branded toners or refill or aftermarket/non brother/"for use in toners". If you are using after market toners then the toner itself is probally faulty, these machines dont just sence new powder they look for a new chip to tell machine it has had its toner replaced, then the chip is blown so it cant reset the machine again, refillers have to put in a new chiop and powder if the chip they use fails then it doesn'r reset the machine, exactly like your problem.

If your are using brother branded original not refilled toners then we could have other issues so please then try the following. Please ensure the contacts on the drum and coresponding ones on the front door are clean. Gently tiny wipe metal wire contacts with a lint free cloth or a cotton bud with metho/alcohol, dont bend them they are delicate, see pic at end for location

Please also try to reset the toner manually, do this by openning front door and pressing clear/back button, a menu will appear, we want to select C-TNR-S or C-TNR-H depending on if you are using Cyan/TonerStandard or Cyan/Toner/High Capacity, so use arrows to go to correct one then press ok to select it, then a new menu appears, we want to select 1 asnd ok to reset, then it should just go back to cover open.

Also you could let me know what code comes up if you press menu * 2 8 6 and 4 real quick!!, if you do fast enough its tricky but then you should see maintence in display and it will beep, then select 82, and it will show eroor ?? let me know the code...also try to do a 80 it will print out a code sheet that I would normally read to identify problem, and finally in maintence mode select 99 to perform reset, you machine should go back to normal and out of service mode.


Hope this helps, or if required give me more detailed info and we will dig deeper.

Cheers

Hi, I have not come across any expiry date of toner/ developer and if it is stored properly in a cool dry place, away from sunlight an excessive heat, it works just fine. Re-filling the toner is always cheaper and costs around 1/4th of the new toner price. So, check for the price of new toner and compare. Genuine toner is always better in terms quality and yield. However, refill can work too.
I have refilled/ refurbished toners myself and had no issues. Properly re-filled/ refurbished cartridge would NOT cause any damage to the printer. So, you may get your toner refilled by some good professional and it would work fine. As for Panasonic Workio DP-4530 and similar copiers, the toner comes in a bottle (which is only a container filled with toner powder) and the toner powder is pulled by the toner supply unit of the copier. I am using HP 9065MFP and refilling caused no issues. I usually refill it after proper servicing and use best available powder and it works absolutely fine.
Hope it helps! Good Luck! Thanks for using Fixya! CreativeTECH

I do not recommending refilling a laser cartridge, the toner powder is very fine and you don't want to breath in this powder. I suggest you purchase a recharged or re-manufactured toner cartridge for your model printer, these are much cheaper than the genuine new toner cartridges.

Hi,

Shop for the appropriate refill kit. When purchasing a refill kit, double-check to be sure that the toner in the kit is compatible with the toner required for your model of Konica Minolta printer.

Step 2 Empty the old printer cartridge. Be sure to completely empty the printer cartridge that you plan to refill. A compressed air can is ideal for this purpose and can be purchased online or at most office supply stores.

Step 3 Remove the plug. The cartridge plug may be covered by a colored end plate, depending upon the model of your Konica Minolta printer. Simply unscrew the end plate, and then remove the plug. If using a screwdriver to remove the plug, be careful not to puncture the plug, as this will cause the toner to leak out of the cartridge and into your printer.

Step 4 Refill the printer cartridge. Shaking the powder in the refill toner bottle before attempting to pour it into the cartridge will cause it to pour much more easily. Do not squeeze the bottle, but allow the toner to simply pour out. Replug the cartridge, and gently shake or rock it back and forth two or three times to evenly distribute the toner powder inside the cartridge.

Step 5 Check for leaks. Before returning the cartridge to the printer, check the outside of the cartridge for any powder particles that may have spilled or leaked during the refill process. Wipe the particles off the cartridge, and gently shake it once more to check again for leaks. If no powder particles appear, then it should be safe to return the cartridge to the printer.

Step 6 Return the cartridge to the printer. Once you have refilled the printer cartridge and have checked for leaks, you may now return it to the printer. Go to your printer properties/settings and select the option to indicate that a new printer cartridge has been installed. Print a sample page to check print quality

Please post your feedback and Vote if the problem resolved as per your satisfaction.

there are some possibilities for this problem. i will explain it. 1) First of all check out if the toner is full ,half or near to empty. There is no exact procedure to check the powder left in the toner without opening the toner.but in one toner there comes about near to 1500 copies.if you have got about 1200 to 1300 copies.then its quite possible that the power left is near to empty so the streaks comes on the paper due to less powder left.many times in this case removing and shaking the toner then reinserting the toner again and checking the printout helps. 2) But if you are sure that toner is not empty then other possibility is.in the toner cartridge there is a aluminium drum.its easily seen in the cartridge.once you remove the cartridge. if that drum is got very much used then due to that drum the streaks appear.fox example.if the drum is new the print is very dark.if the drum gets old the print gets very light or with streaks or faded print. 3) Now if drum and toner powder both are proper and still the problem then its the fault in the printer.in your printer there is some toner powder got spilled out on the inner parts from where the printing paper passes.so when the paper passes from the part where the powder is fallen or got collected then the streaks comes.in this case the printer needs internal cleaning and servicing. 4) but in some cases it has been noticed that internal powder of the toner becomes moist and very hard to come out from the toner for printing.in this case either toner needs to be refilled or toner needs to be replaced.you can get the toner refilled from local cartridge refilling store or local stationery shops dealing in cartridge refillings.The cartridge refilling shops also have the same printer for checking the cartridge.so at the refilling shop it will be confirmed whether the fault is in cartridge or printer.
This will help. Thanks please keep updated. please please do rate the solution positively .thank you for using fixya
