Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

The error is indicated by a control panel alert that halts printing. Check if the error message remains after opening and closing the front cover, which triggers the sensor re-initialization process.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Power off the device completely using the main power switch.
  2. Open the front door and carefully slide out the toner cartridge.
  3. Inspect the slot and clean any stray toner powder with a dry, lint-free cloth.
  4. Reinstall the cartridge ensuring it clicks securely into place.
  5. Switch the printer on and wait for the system to complete its self-test.

Prevention and Maintenance

Avoid using low-quality refilled or third-party cartridges, as they often have chips that trigger false sensor alerts. Regular interior cleaning helps maintain optimal sensor performance.

When to Call a Technician

If the 010-390 error persists after following these steps, there may be internal sensor damage requiring professional servicing.
