I have replaced both the toner and the drum but the 'replace drum' and alarm light still show and will not reset. The machine is unuseable for copy print fax etc. How can I manually reset.
Ignoring the Toner Empty Message
When the toner cartridge is empty, the machine shows a “Toner Empty”
message and stops printing.
You can set the machine to ignore the message when it displays and to
continue printing the pages.
1 Press Menu until “Machine Setup” appears on the display.
2 Press the scroll button (�� or ��) until “Ignore Toner” appears on the
bottom line and press Enter.
3 Press the Scroll button (�� or ��) to select “On” or “Off.”
Select “On” to ignore the Toner Empty message.
Select “Off” to stop printing when the message appears. This is the
default setting.
4 Press Enter to save the selection.
As far as I know there is no "manual" way of resetting this. The new drum has a small glass fuse which should blow when it is placed in a machine for the first time. It is the machine "seeing" this fuse blow that resets the message.
Are you using a "new" drum or one that has been in another machine?
You can try to fit a new fuse to the drum.
If it was in front of me I could show you in seconds, but I've not seen one for a few years.
If you open the machine (looking from front) so the drum is kinda sideways on, I think it will be on the rear side towards the bottom. If it is not clearly visable (it is on some models), you may have to remove a plastic cover (one or two screws) to access it.
Sorry I can't be more specific...if I had one in front of me I could tell you exactly.
If you purchased from ebay, was it sealed and boxed correctly in original packaging? If not, then i'm virtually 100% that it has been in another machine and the fuse has popped.
