How do i manually rotate cartridge carosel

Typically you will need to replace the waste toner box. There is usually a difficult to access part of the bottle that is used by an optic sensor to tell when the box is full. Plus toner is very fine and you do not want it getting into the air. Toner will pass through the filter of most vacuums and go back into the air.

Is that a question or a statement?

Hi

3 issues might be the problem.

1. The toner waste compartment is full. You need to clean the toner waste compartment located in the cartridge itself.

2. Roller drum inside the cartridge have lines normally starts on both ends of the drum. This due to bulky printing. Check and replace this parts inside the toner cartridge. Manual cleaning is not advisable because the result will still the same. If you have only toner cartridge, use the roller drum and replace in place of it.

3. Faulty Toner Cartridge that cause leaking the toner powder. If you purchase remanufactured toner cartridge or you refill the toner cartridge. It tends to worn out the parts. Normally starts as roller drum and follows with the other parts. Replace new original Toner Cartridge. When you refill the toner cartridge, you need to clean the waste compartment as well as it will later be full and overflow.

Please rate and make a comment if you find this solution very helpful and might help others as well. Post more comments if you need more help.

1. Reseat and clean the 4 toner cartridges and verify the orange plastic covers have been removed.
2. Reseat the toner cartridge carousel position. By doing the following:
Lift the handle of the first available toner cartridge or toner cartridge attempting to be installed and remove the toner cartridge.
Close the front cover. Power off the printer. Power on the printer.
An LCD message Insert <toner color> Toner appears. Open the front cover. To reinstall the toner cartridge, align the arrows on the cartridge with the corresponding arrows on the printer, guide the cartridge in until it snaps into place, and then push down the right lever to lock the cartridge in place. Close the front cover. The toner cartridge carousel rotates to the correct toner position.
3. Verify the developer rotor frame is not bent. If it is bent then the printer should be replaced, it would not be cost effective to replace the frame.
4. If it is not bent. Open the front door, try to rotate the carosel. It should NOT rotate. If the rotation is rigid and feels broken, then the printer should be replaced. If it rotates smoothly, the developer latch should be replaced. If the carosel does not rotate but still gives the error the rotor control board should be replaced.

If you can not rotate the toners by using the DISPLAY MENU,

You can rotate them MANUALLY, using a flat head screwdriver or even a key for your car or front door.

Open Front Cover/Door of Printer

Remove Waste Toner Box

Where you see the side of the Blue Cartridge, look to the LEFT and locate a small rectangle with a circle inside it.

Push your car key or flat head screwdriver into this rectangle and the circle will push back and release the lock on the cartridge, holding in with one hand and turning cartridge with the other hand until you get the cartridge you want to replace.

Remove the screwdriver / car key and pull out the empty cartridge and replace with new one.

Replace Waste Toner Box, close front cover/door, switch on and the printer will rotate back itself to it's normally position...... JOB DONE

these syte explain how you can reset problem, http://www.zinetic.co.uk/video/dell3010drum.aspx

Instead of opening the the front cover, as you would to replace toner, open the top cover on the printer. there should be a blue handle in which to remove the drum.

this error means

Drum Full of
Waste Toner

The drum cartridge needs to be replaced. fro more information about how to remove it you can got to following link

On my Dell 3100cn you have to replace the drum as routine maintenance. I think it is every 12,000 sheets. If you examine the drum unit (in a 3100cn) you will find that there is a compartment in the unit that gets filled with used toner.. It is fairly small, but runs all the way across the drum unit, at the pointy end. On fhe 3100cn there is a blue arrow on either side of the drum unit to show you which way round to put the drum unit and the arrows are each printed on pastic cover held on by two screws. Undo the screws and you can empty the waste toner directly into a plastic bag.

The drum unit has a chip in it (on one side). That tells the main machine it is full or, may be, it tells the machine when it thinks it should get full. If it is the latter, then the chip won't change its tune and you will continue to get the error mesages.

Have fun
