Hi dbourienne:
Yes it is but you may start having print quality problems ,but as long as the part has been ordered and will be installed soon, it will be ok to print.

Hit the check botton on the control panel for the printer. Scroll down to "Configure Device" and hit the check button. Scroll down to "Resets" and hit the check button. Scroll to "Reset Supplies" and hit the check button. Scroll to "New Transfer Kit" and hit the check button. Scroll to "yes" and hit the check button.

Hit the return button (next to check button) until back at ready again. Transfer belt count should be reset now.

To make sure, from the info menu, scroll down to "print suply stus page" and hit the check button. Transfer belt should read as 100% now.

DON'T WORRY IF IT TAKES MORE THAN ONCE FOR IT TO TAKE. WE'VE SEEN IT TAKE 2 OR 3 TIMES OF REPEATING THE PROCESS (for no good reason) BEFORE THE MACHINE RESETS THE COUNT.

Rich,
Well, first off, are you using OEM or compatible cartridges? Compatibles are OK, just as long as they weren't rebuilt just by refilling. Secondly, you may want to check in the "Print Quailty" menu; here you will find info on increasing and decreasing the print density. Do you observe light printing over the entire page or just ceratin areas? How about certain colors? More to follow...............

how do i get the printer to read that i have put in a new transfer kit.

When I try to print from an access data base to the laserjet color 3500 usb printer.

Hi!

If you could possibly manage to access the machine status menu and have it print to check the drum's life, fuser life, developer, etc.. pls refer. Kindly replace the toner cartridge accordingly use the menu settings when replacing any color if needed. Please print solid image or block in each color Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Balck. Well see if what color causing the problem. Please let me know the print result it may be; washed out or too light, too bright or black, double image, or not clean. Don't hesistate to contact me again about the result.

Best regards,
Rosener Guyano
