How do you change the magenta, yellow and black toners on the dell 3100cn

Are there any images at all or is the page solid black?

If your going to print in color may it be just red or blue. You really need all of the cartridges for it to work. Because for the printer to come up with those colors. It would need all three colors Cyan, Magenta and Yellow to come up with the any color, in your problem, Blue and Red.

It sounds like you've got contamination on the drum cartridge or on one of the toner cartridges.

I'm actually going to be installing black toner in my 3100cn in about 8 hours, so I'll inspect and clean each of the carts, and write up the process for you tonight.

This is the worst printer! i advise everyone not to buy!! changing ink every week!!!!! total garbage!!!!!!

Either the "toner cartridge sensor" N4445 isn't reading the chip in the toner,

or an MCU board P5281 or EEPROM is defective

I have problem with my Phaser 6130 Laser Printer, I changed toners (black, cyan, magenta yellow). My printer printing only cyan and magenta, colors black and red is very, very light. I cleaned my printer exactly. Everything is ok, but he does not has a black & magenta toners. What's happen? I don't know.

Have you removed the plastic protection strip from the bottom of the toner?

service your printer and change roller taplon tape and fuser aseembley.

I've the same problem with a 3000cn but on the black color. all other colors are great execpt the black one.

Any Ideas someone ?

You can get the manuals for the 3100cn printer from the Dell support website (http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/3100cn/en/index.htm). They include some troubleshooting steps for determining what is causing a number of different problems with the printer. Did you make sure there was nothing blocking the toner on that side of the toner cartridges you replaced? If you haven't already tried it, I would also suggest cleaning the printer to see if that fixes the print problems you are seeing. The User's Guide (in the link above) has a section describing how to do this. If that doesn't fix things, run the tests for print quality and contact Dell support (contact information is in the manual, or on the Dell.com website). Hopefully this will help you get the problem fixed if you haven't already done so. Larry Dell Customer Advocate
