Developer Refreshing Mode - Kyocera FS-1800 Service Manual

(6) Developer refreshing mode

This mode is used to eliminate light printing problems. Once activated, the toner in the developer
unit is enforced to be sent onto the drum unit, collected back in the waste toner bnottls. At the same
time the new toner is fed in the developer so that the developer unit is refilled with new toner. Once
activated, the printer will keep engaged in this mode and be running for an average of 60 minutes.
NOTE The amount of the (old) toner replaced and collected in the waste toner bottle
will be approximately 100 g. The waste toner bottole consequently become full
and must be replaced with a new one.
Perform in sequence:
1 Turn printer power on.
2 Make sure the printer is Ready.

3 At the DOS prompt, send the following command to the printer:
>ECHO !R!EXTP 7,92;EXIT;>PRN
4 Turn printer power off, then on. The toner refreshing mode will
begin. The old toner will be rejected in the first approximately 20
minutes, followed by another 40 minutes interval in which the new
toner is fed in the developer unit.
5 Check that the display reverts to Ready.
