There could be several causes for the add toner message:
- Incorrect supplies. Make sure the toner bottle is type 4500 or type 4500A, and the developer for this machine is part# B2969640. If the incorrect toner or developer is used, the toner supply system will need to be flushed out and the developer will need to be replaced.
- Bad TD sensor. A defective TD (toner density) sensor could cause the add toner message. If the TD sensor is bad, both the TD sensor and developer should be replaced.
- Clumped toner. If the toner bottle has been sitting in storage for a while and not used, the toner may have clumped up. Gently -- GENTLY -- rock the toner bottle back and forth to loosen the toner.
- A bad toner hopper. There are fins inside the toner hopper that transport the toner from the hopper to the developer unit. If these fins fall off, the toner won't be transported fast enough, causing the add toner message.
- A bad toner motor. If the toner motor is dead, the toner won't be transported. The toner motor will need to be replaced if this is the case.
