| Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by dvdgeezer (1/9/06 11:19 AM) reply | +1 + / - | This reset's the toner levels but the belt and drums are still the same. But do you need the reset fuses for the drums and belt..
Anyone got the free instructions and rs no for the fuses

 | Re: Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by Anonymous (3/5/06 9:40 AM) reply | + / - | After much internet research I found a part number for the fuse used on the drums. I can be purchased at any electronics store. I found them at one store for about $3.50 each. The littlefuse number is 251.062 or 251 062. It is a green fuse with a wire on each end with 1/16A written on it. It probaply can be found on the internet for less. I hope this helps.

 | Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by burlsink (5/10/06 4:16 PM) reply | + / - | Why would you want to reset your toner to 100%? Wouldn't that mess up the printer telling you when it's almost empty? Is there a way to reset everything but the toner?
I replace toner on a varying rate depending on which colors I'm using most on my fliers. Does the reset affect all colors at the same time?
Doesn't the drum need to be replaced when it's 0% or is it a company scam to sell parts? What about the fuser?
Thanks

| Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by gerryM (7/8/06 4:10 PM) reply | +1 + / - | I have an OKI C5200 and have gone thru 7 drums ( in 10 week). after 120 copies they streak and print faded 2.5 in on right and 3in on left, the center is ok. I have been printing post card 100lb coated card stock Zerox 3r11462 could this cause them to print this way. it's not all colors- mostly black & cyan. OKI says they don't know why. Worst color laser for quality of the product itself

| Re: Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by RTINSC (7/8/06 4:24 PM) reply | + / - | Sounds like your toner is not being dispersed evenly in the cartridge. Try shaking the toner cartridges. THis can happen if you have heavy color in card center. I print thousands of full color docs without problem..
|
| Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by RTINSC (7/8/06 4:41 PM) reply | + / - | GerryM...Are you refilling toner cartidges? If so, are you removing the waste toner in the toner cartridge before refilling? When waste toner fills up the waste "holder" in the toner cartridge, it will overflow and cause streaking and jam the gears in the image drum..
On the end of the toner cartridge opposite blue knob is a "hole" that leads to the waste holder. Get a small vacuum like a Shark and push open the hole cover and vacuum out waste toner. There will be a lot of toner there. Shake the cartridge too to make sure you clean it out. Refill by holding the toner cartridge upside down and turn the blue knob to ope the slot. Fill it up with toner and go back to work. After market toner is cheap and works fine.

| Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by gerryM (7/8/06 4:48 PM) reply | + / - | thanks, that makes sense. I have refilled and just could not understand why that was happening.

| Re: Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by Anonymous (10/14/06 7:54 AM) reply | +1 + / - | Have you tried re-coating your drums -- There is a cream which is sold by www.uninetimaging.com it is #501 OPC drum coating cream, the website gives instructions on using it --
Clean drum with 90-99% isoprophol alcohol, use a cotton ball to coat the drum, set it up for a few minutes to harden, use the dry side of the cotton ball to wipe the drum clean.... It will fill scratches and prevent friction so your drums will last and last. Their phone number is 310 280-9620, I believe this is Culver City, California.

After refilling the starter cartride it started to streek. black does not cover much and is only gray. Oki send me new printer (had to use the old drums)and same thing. had to buy 4 new drums and after the orig. toner was used up and the refilled toner entered the drum, same problem.
I am at this point 100% sure it is bad toner from tonerking (on ebay).

| Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by Caelum (10/17/06 6:38 PM) reply | + / - | here's a little bit of info i've posted in another thread aswell... you'll find it useful.
How to turn off toner page counting on the OKI C5400n
1) Turn off printer.
2) Turn on printer, while holding the + and - buttons.
3) The LCD Shows 'OKI User', Scroll to "Engine Diag Mode", hit enter. The display shows "Diag Mode 01.02.02 S-Mode"
4) Scroll to Eng Param Set 2, Hit Enter.
5) Scroll to Toner Sensor(it may be the first one), hit enter, Change setting to "Disable"
6) To set the "Disable" setting you need to press the ONLINE, CANCEL and - Buttons at the same time, pressing ONLINE first.
7) Press the Back Button.
8) Turn off the Printer, Leave for 10 seconds, and Turn back on, as normal.
No more toner warnings... :)
C7200 maintenance Menu's
1) Turn on Printer while holding the 1 & 2 buttons.
2) Using button #1 scroll down untill you see "Diagnostic Mode 00.22.00", then hold down buttons 2 & 3.
3) You now have "Engine Diag Mode Level 4" showing on the display.
4) Use Buttons 1 & 5 to scroll between menu's. Scroll down to "Counter Set".
5) Use Buttons 2 & 6 to scroll between menu items. Use buttons 3 & 7 to change the value you wish to alter.
6) The Flashing number is the value you have highlighted. Use Buttons 2 & 6 to change that value.
7) When you have made any changes you need to, hold down buttons 1, 3, and 5. The screen will flash 3 times, then an * will appear at the end of the screen. The Value has been set.
8) The "ID" unit appears to be the drums, setting these values changes the drum usage according to the printer.
The Toner counts are in percentages, and can be changed from 000% to 999%, where 0% is no use, and 100% is totally used.
The "Dot Count"s set how many times each colour has been used, in the life of that toner(?).
The "Total Dot Count" is the same as the above, but for the entire life of the printer.
The "Replace" values for belt, fuser, drums, and toners show how many times each of those units have been replaced.
The Printer life limit seems like an odd one... its there to make you replace the printer after x(600000) number of prints?
There are also life limits for toners, drums, fuser units, belts etc, which can be changed from the default values.
The (cmyk) "ID Unit" shows how many pages have been printed that include that colour since that item has been installed.
The (cnyk) toner percentages can be changed here manually, but is no use if you've turned off toner counting in the below step.
9) To turn off Toner counting:
After getting into Eng Diag level 4, scroll down to "Engine Parameter Set 2".
Use the 2 & 6 buttons to scroll between options. Scroll to "Toner Sensor".
By Default, this is "Enable".
Change the values by using the 3 & 7 buttons. When you've changed the value to "Disable" press both the 3 & 7 buttons together, and the * will appear, showing that you've set the value correctly.
You can also apply the above change to the "ID Unit"s aswell, being the image drums, to stop any counting of the drum units, allowing them to be used untill image quality suffers.
The above change can also be made to the "Belt Unit" and i'm guessing Fuser unit aswell.
Hope this helps a few of you :)

I have tried the reset on the NVRAM but still get this problem.

| Re: Re: Toner Sensor Error by Anonymous (10/26/06 1:18 PM) reply | + / - | A friend has one of these - you can cut a small piece of white paper and tape it over the toner sensor opening. Then it will work like a champ. Background: When you get a new cartridge the toner sensor is white, then when you take the toner out or off the white recessed indicator slides away leaving an opening. If the sensor on the printer sees the white indicator - all is cool - if it sees an opening it issues the 543 error. Hope this helps as it is a very frustrating error caused becuase you took out the tomer to redistribute the toner by shaking it.

So, I took the drum out ... and put it back in again!
The warning is still on, but I've printed about 500 pages since and it's still going. Probably safer than resetting the NV or poking about in the drum's innerds.
Just a thought.

| Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by gooroov (2/8/07 6:55 AM) reply | + / - | I have an OKI C5150n that i access via NIC, and I just ran the NV-RAM reset, and the printer came back up just fine, connected via NIC automagically, low toner warnings all gone.
So running the NVRAM reset routine at the top of this page will not necessarily hose your NIC connectivity.
I am connecting to a Mac if this makes any difference--and if my experience with Windows is any guide, it just might.
Hope this helps--and thanks for the tip!

| Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by Anonymous (3/21/07 1:50 PM) reply | + / - | The c5800 you have uses identical technology as your previous machine. Most after market toner is from the same source and thousands of users use this after market toner with no problems. Perhaps you will be disappointed when you realize you cannot reset the 5800 as with the others. Paying retail for toner when it is available at one tenth that cost is simply wasting money, IMO. I suspect operator error is the problem.

| Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM SAVED MY PRINTER by Anonymous (3/21/07 2:50 PM) reply | + / - | I thought that my C5150 had died for sure. And it was only 2 and a half years old. When I would start it up, after initialization, it would display "FATAL ERROR #161."
I called Okidata tech support and they told me that it was saying that there was nsomething wrong with the magenta toner cartridge. They told me to swap toner cartridge positions but this did not change the error message.
I have refilled all of the toner cartridges many times, so many times in fact, that I would always get messages about the drums being at the end of their life, etc.
I thought that the printer was dead so I ordered a factory refirbished on from Tech for Less at a cost of $313. Have not even received it yet.
So today I tried your reset sequence... and guess what? The printer is good as new! WOW!
Thanks for the help.
By the way, I had asked Okidata if there was a way to turn off the messages about dead drums, etc... and they said there was no way to do that.
Thanks again.

Well, were happy and you could have gotten a free printer from me if you had a name instead of Anonymous. Oh, well that's life. thanks for your input 6 months later

| Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by Anonymous (3/22/07 6:55 AM) reply | + / - | The toner cartridge has two "tanks". One for fresh toner and one for waste. On the end of the toner cartridge opposite the blue knob, is a "hole" in middle. If you take a paper clip or nail and push into the hole, you can hold the closure open and use a small vacuum or shake the cartridge to empty the waste toner. Or you can cut a hole in the side of the cartridge where the waste tank is and vacuum out toner. Reclose hole with duct tape. There is a lot of waste toner that ends up in these tanks. If you don't clear it after several refills, the toner will come out the hole and jam the gears of the drum cartridge.
Note: Remove the toner part from the drum part before doing this. Leave the drum part in machine as it is light sensitive.

| Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by KiwiBruce (3/22/07 7:09 AM) reply | + / - | To empty the waste toner from a toner cartridge you'll need some inch & a half wide tape (I like Blue painters tape from the hardware store)Remove the cartridge & turn it upside down & tape the mouth closed. Open the blue handle, there is a small locking dimple to push in, and turn the cartridge right side up. The waste toner opening is opposite the blue handle and is now open. Hold the cartridge over a trash can & shack it until no more toner comes out. Don't try reusing this it's burned. Close the blue handle, remove the tape,clean the cartridge,reinstall.Your done,5 minutes tops. Bruce.

| Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by smiller (3/23/07 10:44 AM) reply | + / - | I have an OKI C5500. I've replaced the starter toner cartridges and now want to refill the replacement cartridges with "bulk" toner. I am unable to reset the cartridges for printing. I have tried some of the fixes for other models and can get 10+- copies to print at a time but that's it.
Is there a way to reset the printer to "think" the cartridge is full? Is it necessary to replace a chip each time you fill a cartridge? If so, where can you get the chips for the C5500?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Heat a sharp knife on stove and cut a hole about size of nickel or larger on side of cartridge where tank is located. Vacuum out or shake into a bag or box. Close the hole with duct tape. Usually a lot of waste toner.
The waste toner is put back into the waste part by a "wiper". Not important..just be sure to empty it periodically or drum gear will jam.

| WASTE TONER - Where does it come from??? by Anonymous (3/23/07 5:09 PM) reply | + / - | I see lots f talk about "waste toner" that needs to be removed or it will jam the gears. That it is put into the waste area by a "wiper." Someone said not to try to use it because it was "burned."
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT WASTE TONER IN THE "TONER CARTRIDGE" OR IN THE "DRUM SECTION???"
If it is in the toner cartridge, please explain how it gets there from a "wiper" or why it has been burned. The toner cartridge is nothing more than a hopper filled with toner. it is gravity fed into the "drum section" below. That is where a "wiper" could be located and that is where "burning" could take place.
If anyone can explain how "wiped" toner (wiped from the drum, I presume), or "burned toner," could ever go back up to the toner "cartridge" I would like to hear the explanation of how this could happen.

| Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by Anonymous (3/23/07 5:35 PM) reply | + / - | hhssbb@optonline.net....
How toner gets into the waste tank is not important. Open the "hole" on end of cartridge opposite blue knob and waste toner will come out, or...cut a hole in side of cartridge where waste tank is and you will see waste toner. Lots of it. Toner does not go into the developer unit. When the waste tank is full, toner will exit the hole on the end opposite the blue knob and jam the gears in the developer (where the cartridge connects). It is designed that way to inhibit reloading toner.

| Re: Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by Anonymous (3/23/07 5:54 PM) reply | + / - | It's not a memory issue. The low toner warning turns into an empty toner warning and shuts the printer down. I then start the printer while holding the + & -, wait for OKI USER, then get into the disable toner, change it to enable, then back to disable, re-initialize then I'm good for about 10 more copies. I have a sense that if I would have refilled the new cartridge prior to the low toner warning, I may have been able to avoid this mess.
The other problem I'm having is that the reset chips aren't expected to be available until June.
The printer's great but the cost of toner is eating me alive.

| Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by Anonymous (3/23/07 6:02 PM) reply | + / - | The toner you put into the cartridge (top part) is circulated by a screw type mechanism (open the toner part and look inside with light). In some way and for some reason, this screw device "pushes" some toner into the waste tank part of the toner cartridge. It may be that the screw device is there to keep toner evenly spread within the cartridge. The "waste" toner may be usable toner but problem is getting it out without mess. Toner is only burned at end of print process, not by developer.

I have a 5150 with 17,000 copies on it and the original starter cartridges which I have been refilling.
After so many copies and the warnings about empty cartridges and drums that needed replacement I found that I could only print about 17 copies and then the printer would stop. If I would open the top of the printer and then close it I could print about another 17 copies.
Since I have reset the counters with the procedure stated at the beginning of this thread I have had no more problems.
If you are using a 5150 you should try it.
Good luck.

| Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by Anonymous (3/24/07 5:55 AM) reply | + / - | The black drum will lose it's usefulness before the color drums, generally. Here is a way to test your drums to see which needs to be replaced.
In Word, make a page will all zeroes on the page.
Change the color of the zeros to a color close to each of the toner colors. i.e. a page of zeros in cyan or light blue, black, magenta, yellow.
Print a page in each color.
If you see streaking or faded characters in the colors, you can tell which color drum needs to be replaced.

| How the waste toner gets into the toner cartridge by HSB (4/1/07 1:28 PM) reply | + / - | Ever wonder how the burned "waste toner" gets into the toner cartridge? I did. Now I know. It gets conveyed from the green drum section up the left side of the drum unit and is deposited into the toner cartridge through the center of the section with the large spring onto which the toner cartridge is mounted when you install or change the toner cartridge. Believe it or not there is a small augar insite that inch ling spindle with the spring wraped around it.
To see all of this for yourself go to: www.futuregraphicsllc.com/articles.php and scroll down to the September 2005 artle by Chris Howard entitled, "Remanufacturing the Okidata C5400 Toner Cartridge." This applies to the C5150 toner cartridge as well.
It explains all with great pictures and goes into much more detail than the Uninet instructions for changing the drum in the toner cartridge.
The bottom line? The waste toner is continuously being pumped by a small conveyor belt and an auger into the toner cartridge. If you will be refilling these cartridges it is imperative that the waste toner be removed regularly or jamming will result.
On starter cartridges the easiest way to remove waste toner is to burn a 1/2 inch hole on the top of the cartridge about 1-3/4 incles from the left side as viewed from the top. Use a cartridge hole burner sold by after-market toner suppliers; cost is about $7). Vacuum out the waste toner and cover the hole with blue painter's masking tape. On replacement cartridges there is a plate on the right end under the blue locking knob. Pry the plate off and vacuum the waste toner out of the two holes that are exposed. Then replace the plate. It is held in place by pressure sensitive material.

| Re: WASTE TONER - Where does it come from??? by oki_fred (4/8/07 10:26 PM) reply | + / - | Dear hhssbb!
You are right about the toner in the cartridge, but wrong about your statement!
I have changed the OPC unit in my OKIDATA C7100N and have disassembled the drum unit in order to do same.
The toner is wiped off the OPC after the nehative of the page has been transferred to the paper. This "burned" toner is then transported via a transport-spring to the left end of the cartridge and grabbed by a transport-ribbon (placed in the left arm of the cartridge) into the waste toner "tank" in the toner cartridge itself. Next time i change the OPC, I will make some photos and post them, if anyone should be interested.
By the way, I can also tell you how to reste the drum units. The fuse, as stated before, is placed in the right arm of the drum unit. you need to take it apart and replace same. When you replace it, it is shot by the printer and the printer resets the count o 100%. That's all.

| Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by oki_fred (4/10/07 1:25 AM) reply | + / - | The statement of "burned toner". It is not "burned. No should and could. In the cartridge the toner, as you stated, falls onto the OPC and is magnetically charged, in order to build the "negative" of the page to be printed. Nothing is "burned", only "charged". Due to this fact, the toner should not be re-used. It cannot be charged twice, it won't hold position on the OPC anymore. That is my personal oppinion and let say knowledge. Any one knows better, fine. let me know. I am eager to learn.

| Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by oki_fred (4/10/07 5:25 AM) reply | + / - | Hey Opus,

By the way, I have bought an OKI C7200:
After turning on the printer, it states "initializing", then suddenly makes a loud "CRACK" (such as if one of the cogwheels of the drum unit or transfer belt are blocked). It schowed Error Code 142 (Magenta Drum Lift/Transport Problem). Before you say that something is blocked with the Magenta Drum Unit or the Transfer belt: NO! THEY WORK PERFECTLY!!!!
Now anybody some ideas about this problem?!?

| Re: Re: RESET OKIDATA TONER DRUM by hhssbb (4/10/07 3:13 PM) reply | + / - | oki fred,
How can you tell that they work perfectly?
Is the magenta drum unit new or has it been used and if so has the magenta toner cartridge been refilled??
If it has been refilled, has the waste toner been removed? I had a similar situation where the waste toner had not been removed and the waste toner spring mechanism along the bottom of the drum unit had actually snapped because the waste toner had backed up.
Perhaps the waste toner is getting blocked up in the transport mechanism in the left end piece of the drum unit. The end plate is a thin piece of black plastic and can easily be pried open and off with a small thin screw driver.
Curious to know what you find. Good luck.

| Re: Trouble with Black Toner by Anonymous (4/22/07 1:21 PM) reply | + / - | Had some similar problems with the back print being light and a light streak down the center of the page. After replacing the after market toner with an approved cartridge the color was better but the black still printed light and the streak became more pronounced. As I kept playing around with it the insidious ink was gradually spreading everywhere. Finally risking banishment from the house I took the cartridges of ink out, and removed the drums to the garage where I emptied all of ink out of the hopper that the cartridges fit into making sure that the slot was clear at the bottom of the curved hopper. I wiped down the entire drum construction including the shiney drum itself with Isopropyl rubbing alcohol and a cotton pad. I think I probably had some of the drums out in dim florescent light for slightly more than 10 minutes. Then one by one I reinstalled the drums and cartridges in the C5200n Okidata laser printer.
As a result my black print is restored the glossy effect of the color print for digital photos is back and I have better printing quality. All is not perfect however more yellow and blue ink is apparently getting out on the left side and leaving a more pronounced green band to the left side of the digital prints. It is good enough however that I am sending out an 80 page commercial appraisal report full of maps, photos and black print to a client whereas before I would not have done that.
Thank you for relating your trials and tribulations before, it saved me from running out and buying new drums to try and work this out. I may still do that eventually but now I feel that I have some time before making the additional purchases.
Thank you again,
