Is there a way to check the toner level, other than waiting for a "Toner Low" message on the screen? Thanks..

Not that i know of - i'm not very technically oriented. All I know is it prints. No major problems. Had it a year or so ... You do have to replace the drum - an additional expense, in addition to the toner, from time to time.

If you used the installation disk, you should see the Configuration Tool under All Programs/Okidata. If you drill down into the Oki "web page" for your printer, you will see a "Toner Remain" visual indication, together with a percentage remaining. For instance, mine is at 90% at the moment. There is another way to get to the printer network web page, by just putting its network address into a browser. If you are USB connected, I am not sure this information would be available to you.

Not familiar with "toner count". When I've replaced a cartridge, the message has gone away.

One more suggestion. Did you store the toner in a room temperature area? Not too hot or cold? I keep mine on my office bookcase. Just a thought. Dolores

when you loaded the disk with drivers, it should have placed a symbol that looks like an "S" with a clock on it in your lower right task bar, double left click on the "S" and a picture will pop up and give you a visual of approximately how much is left in each toner cart. Also if you click on the printer settings it will give you an actual count of copies on your fuser etc and if you keep tract of those numbers you will know what your print count is. in case you didnt elect to put a quick launch icon then you can re-load the driver disk or go on the samsung site and load it from there.

I have the same printer with the same network issue. However, you don't need the smartpanel to check the toner levels. In the print dialog (after you print a doc, etc), select "summary" from the third drop down menu from the top. This should let you see where you stand supply-wise. Good luck!

My printer has lights above the empty cartridge, if it's new there should be an order listed in your directions. And it should also tell you on the printer, or at least mine does. Are you sure your printer takes a grey cartridge? Not all do.

Take the toner out and re-install the old toner back and see if you still hear the loud noise. if it prints with out the loud noise, try put back the new one in and see if it works. maybe it wasn't seated properly.

Talk the cartage out " black & color " and reinstall again and see if the ink levels are displayed and where the levels are shown . Make sure that the printer window is set on photo print / copy's in color not black n white . I am not fully educated on this printer , check the instructions to make sure you / me are doing it correctly. I hope this helps ..

Unfortunately that's pretty much all there is. I am finding that it's actually using a little less toner over time... maybe everything is finally dialed in properly

I have run the color toners "low" which means less than 50 copies left per toner. The message now says color toner is low and that the printer will print in black and white. It appears that it will continue to print B&W; as long as the cartridges are left installed but empty.

My printer is different(dcp-7065). When I installed, I used the old cartridge holder and only replace the toner cartridge. There is a small paper in front of cartridge head(printing), make sure you pull it out. Thanks.

I had a similar problem. Apparently, the printer circuitry is able to sense that this is a "not new" toner cartridge. I ordered 4 of these and had this same issue with 3 of them. Sometimes, I was able to get rid of the error by unplugging the printer, but soon the error came up again making printing impossible. I even tried some instructions I found on the www for resetting a Brother toner cartridge, this too, helped for a while. I don't have the time to waste. The real Brother cartridges are available on Amazon at a great price and at least one of the box office stores is now price matching Amazon. My condolences! I had a similar problem.

i've refilled mine. so far it seems to be okay. just make sure you've got the toner AND the replacement chip.

You can change a setting in the menu to get it to continue to print on an empty cartridge. The manual says you can damage the printer this way but I did it while waiting for new toner to arrive with no problem (and the printouts were fine).

The printer should be turned off for 30 seconds or so, so the 'mind' of the printer will recognize the new cartridge. It if still stays on, look at the counter wheel of the cartridge and see if the pointer is pointing to the '1' imprinted on the wheel or to the '2'. It should be pointed to the '1'. The '2' indicates the cartridge should be low on toner.

Toner cartridges are rated by number of pages. It depends which cartridge you use. You can look those up.
