Machine will not reset after toner replacement

Hello, I have a Panafax UF 885 fax machine. I have replaced the toner cartridge recently and the machine will not recognize it and reset itself. I have tried echanging the toner thinking it was defective. Unplugging did not work. My IT people have tried scrolling through all the menues to reset with no results. The message on the screen is "info code 45" which, when I looked it up in the manual says.."needs toner". Meanwhile faxes are comming in and my memeory is just about maxed out. I really hope you folks can help me! Thank you for your time. Jill Lowther Webasto Roof Systems 248-997-5135

Info code 45 really means Toner cartridge is not installed.Info code 41 is out of toner & code 43 is toner getting low. There are three connection points inside of the fax machine that tell the machine that a cartridge is installed. Open the cartridge door & remove the cartridge. Verify that the metal tabs on the right hand side above the drive gear stick out far enough to make contact with the cartridge. There should also be two wires that are located on the left hand side that also make contact with the cartridge. Try putting your used/empty cartridge in & see if your info code changes to a 41 or 43.If not, you may have a broken connection. I have found that some compatible cartridges for the panafaxes are missing metal tabs that make contact with the connectors. Compare a cartridge that worked to the one that doesn't to see if it's missing metal tabs. This is not an issue if you are using OEM. Good luck! I can be reached by email if you have any questions.

Info Code 060 on our Panafax UF 885
Code 060 means that the toner door is open. Check the switches.

You might have to tape the door closed on the rear side or call a technician to replace the door.

Panafax uf-885 will not print
You will need a flashlight!

Open the toner door, remove the toner cart.
Look in the cavity towards the bottom left side
You should see 2 spring loaded loops sticking up.

One or both of them is probably bent down and not making contact with the silver tabs on the bottom of the toner cartridge.

Also, remove and discard the plastic drum cover that swings back and forth.....it's only for shipping, it causes many jams.

Try to bend the loop back up with your finger.

Repost if you can't get in bent straight up and I will help you further.

What does the code mean? How do I fix it?
051 means the printer motor is abnormal. I would try replacing the toner cart then switch off/on in the first instance.

Panafax UF-885 - Error Code 055
Error 055 is a laser error. the laser is not spinning at the proper speed and may need replacement. There is another solution, where some ferrite cores are added around three cables to reduce electronic interference. Best call a local technician for further diagnosis.

It sounds like you are stuck in the boot-up mode.

Try this:
Open the toner door and remove the cartridge
Turn the machine off
Open the document feeder by pulling straight up
While turning the machine back on, hold down the pointed switch actuator closest to the small glass
Close the document feeder..display should read "RAM INITIALIZE"
Scroll down to "SHIPMENT SET"
Press "SET"
Press "2" for "NO"
Wait for the machine to reboot (could take 5 mins)

Some times a bad toner cartridge will cause this.
If this does not work, you have a bad Main PC Board. Uneconomical to repair.

If it happens on all printouts, and not just from one sender, then replace the toner cartridge. That will clear up most image related issues.
