SAMSUNG CLP 550 "Tonerbehälter voll/fehlt" - die Lösung
Ich war bisher sehr zufrieden mit meinem 2005 erworbenen CLP 550. In den letzten Tagen zeigte er immer wieder die Fehlermeldung "Tonerbehälter voll/fehlt" an. Nach einigem googlen fand ich erst eine, dann eine bessere Lösung.
1. Lösung:
Ein Nutzer namens Sangraal hatte auf der Website Fixyourownprinter.comeine Anleitung geschrieben.
Demnach kann man den Drucker so zerlegen, dass man an die Lichtschranke beim Resttonerfach herankommt und dort die Drähte von LED und gegenüberliegendem Sensor über kreuz verbinden. Damit der Drucker dann in Zukunft denkt, dass der Sensor ein gutes Signal bekommt. Der Nachteil ist, dass man dann immer mal nach dem Füllstand des Resttonerbehälters gucken muss. Der Drucker druckt aber wieder und die Meldung ist für immer weg.
Im Original:
Twisting the wires together works like a charm.
What you need:
- Wire clippers, and strippers.
- some electrical tape.
- A phillips screw driver.
This is how I did it:
1) Open front cover. Remove all the screws that
hold the door and the front light grey panel on. It helps to remove the paper
drawer. Once all the front screws are off there are still two that hold the
darker grey plastic mount that holds the LCD display.
2) Open the top of the printer, You'll see one of
the screws (the top left one). The top right screw is a bit harder to get at.
You need to remove the top left plastic over, there are two slightly larger
screws to remove and then it pivots to the left and snaps off. Then you can get
at the LCD panels top left screw... which is the last one.
3) Now carefully remove the whole front of the
printer, LCD panel and all, there are two snaps on the bottom of the printer
holding it on, you can jimmy it off with a bit of care. The LCD panel has a
wire that connects to the body of the printer, it's got a little plastic
connecting plug, just unplug it with a slight tug, and the front is now free.
4) Now you can freely access the sensor block...
pull off the black plastic housing, the one with the screw in the middle (which
you removed in step 1). You'll notice two wires running into each side, one red
and one blue. Apparently these LED's aren't strong enough to read through a
clean toner tank, which is what causes the problem.
5) Take some wire clippers and snip the wires
close to the LED assembly. Strip the ends of the wires, and twist the red from
one side to the blue of the other, and vice versa. This is an important step,
if you get it wrong the printer won't work and you'll need to take it apart
again to get it right. Secure the twisted wires with some electrical tape to
ensure there are no short circuits, and voila it's done.
NOTE: The wires are fed through some guides in
the front of the printer, you may want to unfeed them and work with them where
they exit the top of the printer, this way you'll have more wire slack to work
with. It'll also keep the ends of the wires away from any rotating parts when
you put the thing back together. I secured the wires to the body with a bit of
tape to keep them from wandering.
6) Put the thing back together and turn on the
printer, the waste toner tank full message should be gone, and all should be
good.
The hardest part about this whole process is just
getting the printer apart because you need to be careful to get all the screws.
The whole thing from start to finish takes about 30 mins. It would take about
10 minutes if I had to do it a second time...
Twisting the wires together works like a charm.
2. Lösung:
Ein anonymer Nutzer hatte im Thread noch eine Lösung eingestellt:
In my opinion by far the quickest and easiest way to disable
the sensor is as follows; this avoids having to remove the front cover.
(1) Unclip and remove the small plastic access panel on the
side to the left of the mains and data connectors.
(2) Remove the metal cover (two cross-head screws) now
revealed - this gives you access to the motherboard.
(3) At the TOP of the motherboard is a row of white
connectors. The second connector from the left terminates the wires coming from
the waste toner detector assembly. It has two red and two blue wires coming out
of it, and is marked (above, so hard to see) 'waste toner'. The left hand pair
of wires goes to the infra-red transmitter, and the right hand pair goes to the
sensor.
(4) To disable the sensor, simply short together pins 3 and
4 of this connector - i.e. the right hand pair of wires. I did this by pushing
a short jumper (e.g. cut from a paperclip) into the back of the plug alongside
the wires. You could equally well cut the right hand pair of wires and twist
them together where they come out of the plug. I'd recommend leaving the left
hand pair of wires alone though you could disconnect them if you like since the
IR transmitter is no longer needed.
(5) Replace metal and plastic covers, et voilá!
Ich bebildere das mal, damit Ihr versteht worum es geht:
Um diese Seite des Druckers geht es.
Die Metallklappe entfernen (2 Schrauben)
Den Stecker (schon ab, Metallkrampe steckt auch schon!) mit 2 blauen und 2 roten Kabeln abziehen (fummelig!). Es werden 5 Pins sichtbar. Rechts von diesem Stecker sind ein Stecker mit einem schwarzen und einem roten und 2 Pins sowie ein schwarz-roter mit 3 Pins. Diese bitte belassen.
Einen handelsüblichen Tacker nehmen und einmal leer tackern
Die entstehende Krampe nehmen und . . .
L-förmig biegen
Diese dann auf die 3 rechten/letzten Pins aufstecken (siehe oben!), um den Sensor kurzzuschliessen - und das Problem ist gegessen.
Bitte beim Papiernachfüllen immer mal nach dem Resttonerbehälter gucken!!!
Ich hoffe, dieser kleine Hardware-Hack hat Euch weitergeholfen.
