Epson aculaser c1100 cant access empty ink cartridge.

there maybe a cartridge replacement button to drag the print head etc out of the way so you can get at the cartridges.


I hope this was helpful

On the left hand side is a lever. Pull down door 'A' and on the Left hand side you will see the arrow indicating the toner guide placement.
Directly to the left of this is a slot. Insert a biro (screwdriver or whatever fits) into it and push the lever UP to allow free rotation of the drum assembly.

Get a CISS for your printer. It will save you TONS of MONEY, never change a cartridge again and it will pay for itself in a month.

Toner K low refers to the black toner.

Try re-inserting it again, L/H side should go in slightly ahead of the R/H. Give it a push & wiggle and it should lock in. An alternative method of fitting the cartridge is to open the top cover & remove the PCU. With the front cover shut you can rotate the cartridge "carousel" until the black is in the 2 O'clock poition when looking from the R/H side of the printer. You can now insert and lock the cartridge into place.

On the LCD display choose the 'Reset Menu' Then within that menu keep going through the options till you get to 'Change Toner M' (if it is Magenta). Once you select the appropriate 'Change Toner' it will rotate to offer the correct toner.

Hi, the E511 is caused by the printer not "sensing" rotation of the PCU drum & transfer belt (TRO Sensor error). It could be the PCU was faulty. First thing to try is to open the top cover and remove the PCU. Be careful not to expose the drum to bright light, avoid touching it if possible and be very careful not to scratch it. Using thumb pressure at the edges of the drum check it rotates. On the underside of the PCU is a little cut-out window, rotate the transfer belt until you see a little silver square appear. Give this a good clean with a soft cloth. Inside the printer you will see a little sensor sticking up (TRO Sensor) that aligns with this cut-out, give this a clean too. Hopefully your problem is now fixed.

You must follow these steps to replace the toner cartridges:

1. Turn the printer on.
   
   
2. Open Cover A.
   
   
3. Push up the right lever to unlock the toner cartridge.
   
   
   
4. Remove the toner cartridge from the printer.
   
   
5. Take the new toner cartridge out of its package and gently shake the toner cartridge as shown below.
   
   
6. Hold the tag and gently pull the toner seal upward and remove it.
   
   
7. Insert the cartridge all the way until it stops securely with the arrow mark on the top of the toner cartridge facing toward cover A.
   
   
   
   TIP: Hold the cartridge in the middle as shown in the picture. Push it gently all the way through the rails. Make sure both sides of the cartridge are inserted at the same time. Keeping some pressure in the middle of cartridge until you hear a ‘click’.
   
8. Push down the right lever to lock the toner cartridge.
   
   
9. Close Cover A

may be the generic cartridge that you are trying to use is faulty...try with a better one

What you hoovered off is the developer. This is required by the print process. Hoovering it off means there is no way for the toner to get onto the paper. You must replace all the developer units and possibly the toner too. It will be cheaper to by a new printer i think.

You could try a claim on your insurance if you are covered for accidental damage.

In future, maybe you should call an engineer - it is usually cheaper than a new printer.
