    well do you have the information you need now to pursue possible solutions?

  • Anonymous Jul 21, 2011

    THen the blogs were mistaken. I had looked for the error code in the manual and could not find it. That said,

    Can you direct me to the page of the where this belt is located and what I might need to do to clear this error

    It is the harness belt release lever sometimes tied to the waste toner box. They list 5 possible problems including a new engine. Can you direct me to the locatioin of the harness belt release lever? I assume it is on or around the waste toner box but have not been able to find the page in the 400 page manual that shows that.

    still have not heard back on loaction or link to picture showing location of harness release belt lever inquired about. as i said, ia assume it is close to the waste toner boxes as this is one of the possible problems with the printer

    You must select it from the lists of products and model numbers when you post the problem. The information is not carried over from the web search engine that shows Fixya as a source of repair and information.

    According to the repair manual the code you gave 2A is not what you said, it is "Belt cleaner release sensor error" Here is a link to the service manual: http://www.scribd.com/doc/15024880/mfc98...



    The code definition's are on page 22 of the pdf document.

    Did you look at the service manual I sent a link to? It is the FACTORY manual.

    Go to page 29.

    I have never repaired one of these, just read the service manual for the 1st time. Based on what it is saying you can have a defective printed circuit board (PCB) that is causing the problem, it will take a trained Brother technican with eyes on to decide the exact nature of the problem.

I am getting the Replace Waste Toner error on my Ricoh CL3000. I have already emptied and cleaned the waste container, and blew off the section of the printer I install the waste bottle onto, but I'm...

not a solution - but a problem... i emptied the toner waste bottle in my MPW2400 and a new error message appears...says there is no toner and it keeps dumping toner from the new cartridge until it is coming out of every orifice of the machine. What is that about?

When you turn the printer on, it goes through a boot up process which ends in displaying the Print Unable 2A. Turn off and on again

2a is a belt cleaner release failure. May need a new waste toner box, or check the release lever for the waste toner box.

Brother printer hl 4050cdn suddenly stopped working print unable 2A message which I gather is some sort of hardware fault. Resetting no good.

First, try to check the release lever for the waste toner box. If this is OK you might be looking up to replacing the waste toner box cause this is the common reason for "Print Unable 2A" error

It is possible also that 2A is a fuser thermistor error usually caused by the fuser not heating properly and needing to be replaced. If the fuser is heating properly then the thermistat may be failing and need to be replaced.

I'm afraid a little help from a service technician is all you need, if you don't have experience for this kind of printer problem.

Good Luck!

Toshiba E-Studio 202L cartridge does not match manufacture

Did you replace the waste (used) toner cartridge or the empty toner cartridge? These copiers have 2 "cartridges" .... one is waste (used) toner, the other is "new" toner for copying / printing etc. Some newer copiers have All in One units....Drum, New Toner, Waste (used) Toner. If you replaced the Waste Toner container (or dumped it) that should reset the code or error message.

Carousel error 8550dn

Hey there.
That indicates that the color toner carousel is not working
correctly. This could be caused by an obstruction in
the carousel path, such as a loose shutter or
disengaged toner cartridge.
Open the carousel door and waste toner tray.
Look for an obstruction, such as a toner
cartridge shutter catching on the waste toner
tray. Verify the toner lock lever is fully locked. If
the message does not clear after closing the
doors, turn the printer off and on to reset the
printer.
