Sensor error


posted by Kristi Bash on Jan 18, 2008


Every time i go to print it says there is a sensor error. I have to lift the top and wipe down the black ridges on the top inside cover. Then it will work. I ahve followed the directions in the manual which says i need to push the lock lever back and they are as far back as they can go. Any suggestions.

Change the drum unit.

Hi again just had cust with same issue, if you look at side of toner unit(handle side) there is a little rectangle window that goes empty or black when toner is out, it is silver when has toner, this lines up with a sensor that looks at window, clean this area and ensure window is silver.
