THIS IS NOT A TONER CARTRIDGE.  IT IS A MAINTENANCE ITEM THAT COLLECTS THE EXCESS TONER FROM NORMAL PRINTING AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED ONCE IT BECOMES FULL.

This is a compatible waste toner box so there will be some differences between this and the OEM, however these differences will not affect function.

 

Not Recognizing

 

There is no smart chip on this waste toner box.  Make sure you are not accidentally installing a previously used waste toner box.  Make sure the error message you are receiving is not referencing a toner cartridge or drum unit.  This is NOT a toner cartridge or drum unit.

 

For removing and installing the waste toner box into a Konica Minolta Bizhub C253 do the following;

–          Open the front printer door.

 

–          Lift up and remove the waste toner box.

 

–          Install the new waste toner box.

 

–          Close the front door.

 

Print Quality Issues

 

The waste toner box has no affect on print quality.  It is NOT a toner cartridge or drum unit, it’s simply a container to hold the excess toner from normal printing for disposal later.

 

Not Fitting

 

Verify you have the correct waste toner box for your printer.  If you need a toner cartridge or drum unit, this is the incorrect item.  Check inside the printer for any obstructions.  Check the cartridge itself for physical damage.
