I Cannot Get The Toner Cartridge To Seat Correctly So That I Can Close The Door.

I get the error message 31.40 and the right side of the cartridge will not go all the way in. I have taken out the cartridge 100 times to clear paper jams and have never had a problem with putting it back in. What is wrong?

Check that the cartridge for any broken tabs. If a tab has broken off it may not release the cover on the cartridge and so not allow it to go in. Usually it comes down to a mechanical fault with something blocking the cartridge path or the cartridge. Compare the cartridge physically with another one if you have it. Do you have an empty one around? If you still have no success then post another question and upload some photos of the area so we can see where there is an issue and hopefully solve your dilemma.
