The machine will automatically reset the maintenance message when the fuser is replaced. There is a looped wire on the fusing unit connector containing a thermo fuse (a thin wire that quicly melts, and then short the cirquit). If you don't want to replace the fuser yet, you can probably set the machine to meter charge, SP mode 5930, and then reset the maintenance counter with SP mode 7804. You can of course take out the fuser, and replace it with a dirt cheap thermo fuse bought from Ebay. Then set the fuser back into the printer, and it will clear the maintenance message automatically. Either way should work fine, at least it used to do that on the previous model - and it is almost identical.

In the back of the machine on the nozzle assembly there is a toner end sensor. It is possible it just needs blowing off clean. Excess toner spillage in that spot prevents the sensor reading correctly. However, if that do not work, it may need new sensor.

This is one possibility, but there are other solutions if this don't work. The black toner is not set message is displayed. The black toner is not set message is displayed even though the black toner is set. [Cause] There is a problem with the BCU lift. The communication with the ID chip is faulty.
