Did you know there's a forum for copy machines?, Yeah, and I got banned from today after like an hour. Options

Apparently, I suck. I just can't help but laugh though, that I got banned for life from a forum for COPIER GEEKS.

WOW! This Copy Forum sucks. I used to be in the print and design service and this just pisses me off, but at the same time lol. I sure as hell will not pay $100-200 to get a tech to my work just to show me the drum/bin and replace it with a new one.

I've only had experience with the bigger Xerox printers, but the waste bin should be in a cover slot that can be pulled out or opened, usually located on the side of the printer. It's either a filter looking thing with toner waste (looks like a pile of black ashes) in it or a plastic bottle bin with toner waste in it. If this is not the case, more than likely since it's a "drum" for the IM3510, it's going to be in the same place where the toner cartridges are placed. So open the main door and pull out the rolling rack. Locate the fuser/transfer module and find a drum like this one depicted, again if not it may look like a filter too.



Remove and check to see if it's heavy feeling or that it has a sign of being filled up with toner waste. If it does replace with a new waste drum and see if anything changes. If not maybe one of the sensors in the printer may be covered with toners or dust. FYI! DO NOT! Do not use compressed air canister to clean the inside of a office printer. Results may spread the toner around certain areas that WILL affect printing to the highest degree of dirtyness (black spots all over copies). Wipe everything down and see if it does anything. Usually a cloth with some dabs of corn oil/vegetable oil will pick-up toner and dust better.

Hopes this helps. Again LOL at these printer geeks.
