Machine said empty toner but when the old toner was removed there was still quite a bit left so we changed out the old toner for the same brand that is has always used and it still says empty toner.Machine said empty toner but when the old toner was removed there was still quite a bit left so we changed out the old toner for the same brand that is has always used and it still says empty toner.

Is it a genuine Ricoh Toner or a equivalent refill, if it is the latter then my machine would say empty when actually full. Just keep on using the machine, and have another toner on stand by.
If its a genuine Ricoh toner suggest the machine needs a clean around where the built in (toner) chip is located.
It said exactly what? If it mentioned waste toner, emptying that tray (Toshiba has nice zero-waste-to-landfill toner recycling program) should have pretty much cleared things up; it appears that the sensor for that still sees lumps of toner..or something...coming up close to the paper path. Check it out carefully and replace the tray.
Replace empty toner with new one or with refill cartridge toner. Before installing it, clean the inside with a vacuum cleaner so that dust and toner particle spread inside will gone. Thanks for asking.
Are you using a new waste toner container or did you empty the one that was already in the machine?
The machine uses a sensor that looks at the container to determine if it is full of waste toner. If there is toner on the inside sides of the container were it looks for toner it will indicate that it needs to be replaced even if you have emptied the toner out.
It is a good practice to replace the waste toner container with a new one, that is the way the machine is meant to be used.
If you have correctly installed a new waste toner container and the message hasn't cleared you may have a faulty sensor.
The toner cartridge comes with on-chip sensor that counts the toner life. If you allow it to go empty completely that is it gives red triangle which is steady to warn that toner is near empty. You should replenish toner at this time but if you allow it to blink red triangle, that means its completely over and can't be refilled. REPLACE A NEW TONER CARTRIDGE.
I have a feeling that it is a re-manufactured or compatible cartridge?? There is a fuse that needs to be replaced on this unit. it blows when the cartridge is installed to reset the machine. If the fuse has not been replaced or is defective the machine will not recognize the new unit.

Are you using genuine HP toners? If not HP puts a chip on there cartridges that tells the machine it is a new cartridge. Some generic toners do not replace this chip therefor giving you this false message.
