Red Flashing Light on ImageCLASS8280Cw

I've just unpacked my MF8280Cw, pulled the strips from the cartridges, and added paper to the paper drawer.   The red error light continues to flash - all this prior to attempting to connect the printer to a PC.

 

There doesn't appear to be a paper jam.  I've removed the tray, re-inserted it and rebooted the printer several times.

 

I then plugged the printer to the laptop via USB cable but the Windows8 PC didn't recognize a printer.

 

Are there any other things to check for, or did I get a dud?

 

Thanks for your time.

I took another attempt at getting the printer to work today.  I powered it up, and stepped through the setup menu.  After completing the menu options I now receive the following error message:

 

"Remove tabs/pieces of tape from the toner cartridge.  Black(K)

 

I had, of course already removed the tape by pulling out the orange ring.  Any thoughts?

I am having the same problem with mine.  I thought it was a defective toner cartridge so I replaced it at $143.00.  Still the error message appears.  I cannot get an answer to this problem.
