LOW TONER WARNING WITH 40% REMAINING

RhondasCanon
Apprentice
My Canon MultiVLASS MF743cdw is warning that I am low on toner but I checked the consumables and it shows 90% black and 40% color remaining. I understand the percentage will not be exact but 40% is hardly a percentage to show running low on toner. Q: Is there an adjustment to the settings so the printer interprets a much lower percentage of remaining toner as being low? Thanks.

Greetings,

I've not seen an MF series laser report low toner at 40% remaining, so my first question would be are you uasing Canon branded toner?

 

If yes, try removing the toner and holding horizontally, shake gently from side to side.  You may want to do this outside as it can sometimes be messy.  This can help redistribute the toner inside the cartridge evenly.

Hello RhondasCanon,

 

The warning message will come up depending on what is set for the toner percentage in the Display Timing for Cart Prep setting. You can adjust that setting using the steps in the link provided HERE.
