How to change the balck toner only in the epsom aculator c1100 showing K toner low, but blue at the place the black should be?

Make sure that Ready or Sleep is displayed in the LCD panel.
Select Change Toner X (The letters C, M, Y, or K appear in place of X, indicating the colors Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black.) in the Reset Menu on the control panel.While the cartridge X you selected above moves to the cartridge replacement position, Please Wait appears on the LCD panel.Replace Toner X appears in the LCD panel when the cartridge to be replaced reaches the cartridge replacement position.Then Open Cover A.Push up the right lever to unlock the toner cartridge. Then remove the toner cartridge from the printer.

Well if the margins are not the issue, then I would change it.

But before that, try taking a cotton swab, and cleaning the "k toner", the bottom part where the ink comes out. This way before investing more money into your printer, this 'k toner' might just needed a bit of cleaning.

Good luck

K- black
M- Magenta (red)
Y- Yellow
C- Cyan (blue)

Hope this helps.

Toner K low refers to the black toner.

You shoulh have a button to rotate the carousel, or unplug the power cord and try again.

open the web site and
it will help you step by step how to change the toner

Open the front door, look to the left for the interlock, insert a screw driver or similar into lock.

Carousel can now be rotated by hand.

I believe you can also rotate the carousel to a particular toner via the panel and driver.

C - is for Cyan
M - is for Magenta
Y - is for Yellow
K - is for BlacK

If you wait until the colour has completely run out, you will see a message to that effect, and the correct cartride will be presented. If you wish to change before this:



1. On the printers' control panel, press the "right" button (labeled no. 3) once and then the "down" button (labeled no. 4) until you see the RESET MENU.
2. Press the "right" button (labeled no. 3) once.
3. Press the "down" button (labeled no. 4) until you see "CHANGE TONER X" appear on the screen (where X is either C, M, Y or K, Cyan. Magenta, Yellow or Black).
4. Press the "right" button (labeled no. 3) once. The printer will rotate the toner carousel to the correct position for you to change.
5. Open the printer door and change the toner as normal.

Replace Toner with gen cartridge.

 

Or Take cartridge back as faulty after checking that it was opened and installed correctly.

 

Check display on printer for indications that maybe it needs one of the 3 colour toners indicators are Y,C or M

 

K is black
