  • 1Contaminated toner density sensor.
  • 2Improper toner-to-developer ratio.
  • 3Low-quality toner usage.
  • 4Density sensor electronic failure.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The C-2560 happens when the ID density sensor can't get a clear reading. Usually, it's caused by toner dust buildup blocking the optical sensor of the developer unit.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Shut off the printer power.
  2. Pull out the imaging unit carefully.
  3. Locate and clean the ID sensor using a dry, soft cotton swab.
  4. Reinstall unit and firmly lock it into place.
  5. Restart the system to initiate the auto-calibration cycle.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Using non-original toner often leads to build-up on the sensors. Sticking to authentic TNP-79 toners will extend the life of your imaging unit considerably.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after thorough cleaning, the density sensor itself might be damaged, or the developer unit may require replacement.
