    The red light on the top of the printer keeps blinking. This light has a triangle with an exclamation point inside it right above it on the printer.

    How do we know the tonner cartridge reached the end of its life?

    I purchased a ML-2510 last August and just refilled the original catridge. The red light is still blinking.

    What is the life span of the original catridge?

    Printer is still printing fine, so it doesn't seem cartridge is at the end of it's life. So I'm wondering just what this printer is trying to tell me

    The exclamation mark in the triangle is not blinking, its solid. The print quality is excellent which I would not expect with low or exhausted toner. Also, is that what the symbol means? Strange symbol for a toner cartridge.

Maybe the toner is low... According to the manual, a blinking red light:

• A minor error is occurring and
the printer is waiting for the error
to be cleared. When the problem
is cleared, the printer resumes
printing.
• The toner cartridge is low. Order
a new toner cartridge. You can
temporarily improve print quality
by redistributing the toner. See
page 8.3.
• The toner is totally exhausted.
Remove the old toner cartridge
and install a new one. See page
8.4.
• The toner cartridge reached the
end of its life.

RED LIGHT KEEP BLINKING ON MY ML-2510 PRINTER IT STILL WORKS , WHY?

Hi there,

A red blinking light on a samsung printer will often indicate that your toner level is low. It will still continue to work until the toner fully runs out. This is Samsung's warning saying that you should think about changing your cartridge soon. I hope this helps.

SAMSUNG ML-2510 LASER MONO PRINTER

no, I have paper....the red-light on the top keeps blinking.....

I have used akums-razor to determine the answer.....

sol: push and hold down the orange button for 3-4 secs and wait for a print-out. It will give you the staus of the toner cartdg. MINE REPORTS A LOWWWW LEVEL. ( the orig. cartridge gives the user only about 1000 sheets and mine is around 783. This is why I think the light came on to tell me to jump in my Lexus, get down to Best Buy, and get another ( more capacity) new cartridge....
cool, huh?:>))))

Blinking Red ! lite

Good news solution: your toner cartridge is empty beyond any more shaking.

Bad news solution: if the toner is new AND original, the blinking light means bad fuser. It needs replacement at any Authorized Service Center.
