Common causes

  • 1Toner density sensor (TD) blocked by toner accumulation.
  • 2Toner supply motor failure.
  • 3Developer material lifespan reached.
  • 4Defective toner cartridge preventing consistent supply.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The C-2557 error usually appears after replacing toner or during heavy duty cycles. If your output is light or exhibits streaks, the toner density sensor is likely being blocked by dust.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Ensure the TN-222 cartridge is correctly locked in position.
  2. Clean the TD sensor with a dry cloth to remove toner dust.
  3. Check if the toner supply motor is functioning correctly.
  4. If the error remains, the developer unit might be exhausted.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Don't run the machine until the toner is completely empty. Use only genuine cartridges to prevent clogging the developer unit.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If sensor cleaning doesn't resolve the issue, the developer unit may need a professional internal reset or component replacement.
