(More customer reviews)I love this printer, I have had it for 3-4 years and use it at a weekend school. I have printed about 60,0000 copies on it. Here is how to fix the 3 most common issues.
Have you noticed how the last page you get before you get the "Toner Life Ended" message is is perfectly clean and doesn't seem to be lacking any toner? Because the cartridge is not really empty!
Here is a trick to make your cartridge print at least 1000 more copies..
Basically if light can pass through the 2 circular optical lenses on opposite sides of the cartridge due to less toner inside, the cartridge is jammed and you get the "Toner Life Ended" message.
When it happens, simply take the cartridge out, get some White Out, and paint the 2 circular optical lenses on opposite side of the cartridge.
Put it back in, print until it really runs out. If you are worried this will damage your cartridge, do not.. The printer had already indicated the cartridge was empty, so you have nothing to lose.
Paint the optical sensors, block the light, cartridge works!
When you get the Drum Life Ended message:
a. open the front cover
b. press the clear/back key
c. press 1 to reset
d. close the front cover.
You are done, it will count another 20,000 before warning you, but you may decide to replace earlier if not happy with quality of prints after some 10,000 more prints.You can also refill each cartridge twice for about $10 each, just buy toner on eBay, for 7000 more copies.
