Disable Replace toner cartridge message from ricoh 820 display

SOURCE: Ricoh CL3000 Laser Replace Waste toner

Couple of things to try: - If you just emptied the waste cartridge then you have to take the bottle back out and clean the insides as well. The sensor sees the toner on the walls and still thinks it?s full. FYI as typical the manufacturer recommends replacing the bottle with a brand new one. - If not that then you may have toner covering the optical sensor. Try blowing the area where the waste bottle attaches to the printer with canned air. Let us know if you have any other questions and please don?t forget to rate this post.

The used toner bottle is not actually a bottle at all. Not sure what you emptied, but it sounds like the actual toner bottle itself. The waste toner is contained with in the transfer belt unit. When you open the right side cover, this is the unit that is attached to the door. It is a brown belt that provides transfer of the image to the drum and separates the paper from the drum. Remove this unit by locating the release levers on either side of the transfer unit (push both of them towards the machine). After removing, you will need to actually take the belt unit off of the transfer unit. To do this, remove the two tension springs on either side, and then take a small flat bladed scredriver and release the clips that hold it down (you will see when you get started). Once you get it off, you will see the long blade that actually scrapes the toner off the belt. Dump the waste toner out this end. You will need to shake it pretty hard. A better (and cleaner) option is to vaccum it out using the crevace tool on you vac. Just make sure you completely empty it. Now....do everything in reverse.

Hope this helps,

It sounds like the part the toner bottle slides under to lock in place is broken. you could try and fold some paper and tape it to the toner to hold it down.

If you look at one of the other colors you can see how the toner cart door slides under some plastic to open it. I bet the yellow one is broke. Tape a folded piece of paper to the end of the cartridge. That might hold it down so it will work.

This is probably one of two things, first it could be is that the stopper out of the old bottle has got stuck inside the Toner hopper and preventing the hopper from getting toner from the new bottle.

This would be caused by the second problem that is the hopper is more than likely clogged up and the jaws that grab the toner bottle cap cannot open, you can either clean the hopper out, it can be dismantled by removing the silver pin on the green handle, but do be care full as when this pin is removed you will fire the internals out accross the room, so have your hand in front to cach them, then just clean it out reassemble and you should be fine.

Just remember always try the simple fix with copiers, so many engineers look way to far into problems whenit's staring them in the face, i am a Technical Specialist with Ricoh Masters and find a lot of basic faults are overlooked
