The 093-960 error occurs when the internal page counter or chip sensor identifies that a toner cartridge no longer has enough powder to maintain print density. Check your dashboard to identify which color is affected.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Identify color: Check the touchscreen display to see which toner color is reported as empty or low.
  2. Shake toner: Remove the cartridge and gently shake it from side to side to distribute any remaining toner.
  3. Replace consumable: If the error persists, install a new C7000 series toner cartridge.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Always keep a full set of genuine supplies on hand. Maintaining the device firmware helps ensure sensor accuracy. Avoid storing toner in extremely hot or humid environments, as this can degrade the powder and trigger early warnings.
