SOURCE: Invalid Imaging Unit and Toners

Sorry about my last post. I didn't realize that it would be placed unter solutions. BUT I did get a resolution from Samsung. They passed me to the advanced team and they suggested I use a special code they gave me to reset all the machine. As I said before the machine was giving me an error that all the toners and the imaging unit were invalid. Samsung said to try this and if it didn't work they would send me a new (refurb) unit. They said to press in sequence <menu><#><1><9><3><start (b&w)> then when the unit cycles it will ask to imput the country, in my case I entered the US. The machine will then reset itself and all the cartridges and imaging unit should be reset to work. IT WORKED!! The machine said to wait while it re-installs the toners. When it did the red warning light turned off and the printer is working great. Hope this helps.

Yes, but be careful about where and how you dump the toner. It can make a real mess!

Xerox 7435 error 041-340 how to solve error

Xerox 7435 error code 041-340 indicates a problem with the yellow imaging unit. Here are some steps to solve the error:
  1. Power off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
  2. Remove the yellow imaging unit and check for any damage or leaks.
  3. If the imaging unit appears to be in good condition, reinsert it firmly and make sure it is properly seated.
  4. Turn the printer back on and check if the error message has disappeared.
  5. If the error persists, try replacing the yellow imaging unit with a new one.
  6. If replacing the imaging unit doesn't solve the problem, you may need to call a technician to troubleshoot the issue further.
It's worth noting that error code 041-340 can also be caused by issues with the developer housing, toner cartridge, or other components. If none of the above steps work, it's best to contact Xerox support for assistance.

How do I reset ms610 imaging unit?

When you get the error message "Replace imaging unit, 0 estimated pgs remain [84.3x]" This means the imaging unit has reached end of life and needs to be replaced. The device will not print, and this message will not be cleared, unless you replace it with part number 50F0Z00
(or 500z)
Vertical streaking. If the imaging unit is near end of life, or the device has had problems with non standard toner, vertical streaks may occur on the page. Replacing the imaging unit will resolve the problem.
Vertical streaks on page
Vertical band at top of page. This typically appears on printed images, but can also appear on text. The most likely cause is toner contamination on the charge roll, however if the band is still visible after printing 30-40 continuous pages this means the imaging unit needs to be replaced.
Vertical Banding on images
Seal failure on the imaging unit. Occasionally seal leaks have been seen from the Imaging Unit.
Toner will be seen on the main frame near the Imaging Unit sides.
If toner build up is excessive, it may even fall into the Tray below. Cleanup with a toner vacuum may be needed.
Replace the Imaging Unit to fix the problem.
Spots, scratches, marks on the page. If they are random, this indicates a problem with toner scatter.If they are repeating patterns, measure the distance between matching marks or spots. If the distance is one of 97mm, 47mm or 38mm, this indicates marks or dents on the imaging unit and it will need to be replaced.
You receive the message Replace defective imaging unit The imaging unit is defective and needs to be replaced. If you just installed it, it will be covered under warranty - contact Lexmark Australia on 1300 362 192
You receive the message Reinstall missing or unresponsive imaging unit and the below instructions don't resolve the problem. Try one or more of the following:
  • Check if the imaging unit is missing. If missing, install the imaging unit.For information on installing the imaging unit, see the "Replacing supplies" section of your device's User's Guide
  • If the imaging unit is installed, then remove the unresponsive imaging unit, and then reinstall it.
  • Note: If the message appears after reinstalling the supply, then the imaging unit is defective. Replace the imaging unit.
You receive the message Replace unsupported imaging unit The imaging unit you attempted to install was either non-genuine, or was from a different region. Buy a genuine Lexmark imaging unit from an authorised Lexmark supplier in your country/region.
You receive a 31.6x error One of the following errors is shown on the display:
31.60 Imaging unit smart chip error
31.61 Imaging unit I2C packet timeout
31.62 Imaging unit I2C packet has been sent but code timed-out on receiving the data (callback)
31.63 Imaging unit security error in the send challenge sequence
31.64 Imaging unit ROM signature error
31.65 Imaging unit stuck busy (status register and/or CRI Arbiter register report busy)
31.66 Toner failed to replenish into the imaging unit
In this case you need to ensure that the imaging unit is properly installed. If yes, check if the imaging unit is supported. Replace with a supported imaging unit if necessary.
If the problem remains, you will need to organise a Lexmark service call (Australia 1300 362 192)
You receive error message 32.11 Imaging unit smart chip compatibility error This could be caused by an unsupported imaging unit (non-genuine or incorrect region). Replace with correct imaging unit to clear this error. If your imaging unit is supported, you will need to organise a Lexmark service call (Australia 1300 362 192).
You receive error message 84 Imaging unit low If expected, replace the imaging unit. If unexpected, call Lexmark Support (Australia 1300 362 192)

Technical Black Imaging Unit Replaced,Error message still shows

These units are automatically reset with a fuse. When you put the imaging unit in it will completes a connection which resets the count then simultaniously blows the fuse. Sometimes the fuse blows before the reset, which is what it sounds like happened here. The machine should print normally but the error will persist until the unit is replaced with a new one. Is the the imaging unit an OEM unit or remanufactured? Whoever you got the unit from should replace it as defective free of charge. If it is OEM you might have to go through Xerox to get it replaced. I don't know if the Big Box stores will.

Error

I had this problem with my CLP-550, which is now 5 years old and is still on the starter toner cartridges. I found a solution at the following URL, where I at least found a picture of the imaging unit:
http://pcproblemi.blogspot.com/2008/08/replacing-imaging-unit-on-samsung-clp.html
It must have been a contact problem on my imaging unit, because all I did was remove the unit and put it back.
You need to open the toner casing and the duplex unit. Then open the top housing, exposing the imaging unit. Open the plastic retaining levers at front and back of the imaging unit, and just lift it out (not too far), and then put it back.
I then closed the whole thing and it again worked perfectly.
Hope this helps someone.
