Magenta toner is low

I have an Officejet 6000 wireless, model E609n.  I print only in black & white.  For some reason, the magenta toner is low.  Is magenta printing used in black & white?  The printer will print black & white if the magenta toner is completely empty?

Thank you!!!

Good question! In fact, all 4 colors are used in black print, unless you tell the printer not to do in the print driver. The reason that colors are used is to make the black look more dynamic (he tends to look Brown in the case, because of the purge in the paper.)

If you want to change this so that it will print only in black, what you can do is go into your printers folder in Control Panel, right-click on your printer, and then select Preferences. Access to advanced settings and look for an option that says print in black ink only. Chances are it has disabled right now. If you enable it, it should stop your printer to use the cartridges of colour as a primer for black ink.

For the record, the quality of your print will decrease if you do this.

I hope this helps!

    Welcome to the community of use-user of Toshiba. I m scared in this forum you will not find many reviews on printers because this forum was created especially for the laptop computer and multimedia products.

    However, according to various sources that I found in the internet, this message is displayed because the toner is empty. If you have installed new toner and this message always, then probably the installed toner was not original or compatible part.

    If everything is OK, but the message is still appear, then you could erase that going:

  • Color LaserJet 4600: Clear Magenta Toner streaks vertical

    Hi have a Color LaserJet 4600 printer that produces very fine vertical streaks of light on the magenta.  What is a toner problem?  Is there a warranty on the cartridge?  Thanks for any help!

    Most likely the toner cartridge is bad, isn't it a color.  HP Toner come with a warranty, howerver, they must be returned to the seller with whom you bought for replacement.

  • Lasetjet M252dw: M252dw Magenta covered pages

    I bought M252 about a month ago. He gave me the sign of the "bass Cyan" about a week ago. After a while (in the week), printing out began to come out covered in magenta, as in, the entire page is covered in magenta as the background. However, whenever I print the configeration report, there are a bunch of magenta upward and the rest of the page is white background.

    What can be the problem? I am very worried because the Cyan toner is low and I need to replace it, but now I wonder if it's a problem of cartridge or printer. Because if it is a printer problem, my new toner Cyan would be lost.

    PS: I crossed this page (bad printing quality of fixation) and covered all the steps you mentioned.

    Thank you

    Most of the problems affecting a single color time concern for this color toner cartridge.

    If it is a printer problem printer should be guaranteed since you got a month.

    If the magenta cartridge does not give you a low toner message then you need to contact HP support because they might decide to send you a replacement.

    To contact support find the support page for your machine on the HP site and look for the link contact.

  • LaserJet 500 color M551 PCL6 - Toner level error

    I love my LaserJet 500 color M551 but I'm having a problem with the black toner level.  I went to spend the night to have a level of about 50-60% to 10%.  Literally from one day to the next.  I had just checked the levels during the night and the next day the black toner was low.  My use is very light.  According to the page using the number for the monochrome is 1 668.  Total is listed at 3 487.  According to the supplies Status Page 3 543 pages were printed with black and 2 154 ink with the 3, various tonic color.  The only chance 3 543 a to be healthy is if black was included in all color prints so total use of black toner without color would be in the area of 1,400 pages.   There is no way we printed 3 543 black pages and more 2 154 color pages.  We had this printer at 14 months.  We get a new pack of 500 pages about every 2 to 3 months.  At the absolute most, we printed 3 500 pages total.  Most of our impression is heavier on the color.  In fact, we have done a large number of color prints full page.  But given the way we print color is about where we might expect.  And when the black toner showed the 50-60% it was where we expected.

    So what happened? Why our drop of toner level to 10 percent from one day to the next?  I tried the cat with the support, but they did lose one hour of my time and absolutely nothing accomplished.  The service was terribly slow that it was as if a person has worked 3 or 4 cats at the same time.  So I tried it and vain.  The support representative suggested that I swap cartridges.  I don't have a spare those for Exchange.  It made absolutely no sense to me to buy a cartridge of 160-$180 if he could sit on a shelf for a year while waiting to get used.  I certainly don't want to buy and open a new toner cartridge just to know, nothing was wrong with the other.   So the line of background here is... someone has suggestions?  How will I know what is the real level of toner?  Is there a way to reset the levels?

    Better yet. Someone has this model of printer and a black toner empty known cardtridge?  If yes do you know the exact weight of a cartridge empty in ounces? I also want to compare this to the full weight of this model cartridge at 100%.  If I had these two weight I would be able to calculate the exact amount of toner remaining.

    Here, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have a simple solution to your problem: just keep printing.  There was problems with the guarantee of toner system where there are sudden jumps in reported toner level, like what comes to live.  Unfortunately, we do not have a foolproof system for reporting levels of toner, and there is no method for re - calculate and declare a correct level in your cartridge.  Toner templates does not rise, they count only down.  When you eventually replace the cartridge, it will start again at 100%.

    The good news is that you have not suddenly lost all life of the cartridge, it looks just like that.  Your printer will continue printing normally, and the toner level be at 10% for a long time.  When the black cartridge is in fact less than 10%, the pledge starts counting down again.  I'm sorry to see this problem coming up for visitors, but it does.  There is nothing wrong, except the black toner level reported.  I know this isn't a great answer, but it is the best I have.   I'm glad you like your printer - try to ignore the level of toner for awhile.

    Best regards

  • Color LaserJet 2605dn: changing the toner cartridge guaranteed?

    Can someone help me to replace what seems to be a faulty cartridge? I could find absolutely no information on how to do it on HP's Support website to the regular address.

    Q6003A magenta toner cartridge prints very light. Looks pink instead of magenta. This is true even on the 'Page State supplies", which shows the level of toner to 74%: Pages printed with this power supply: 418; Rest of approximate Pages: 1189. I have 'shaken gently"the magenta cartridge without result, and I see no flaws on the drum. 'Cleaning' running mode did not help; He only printed black. The other three cartridges all show them a solid color, so I deduce that there is a problem with the magenta cartridge itself.

    See below. The title and the area around it are supposed to be "Purple"; There should be a (not complete magenta) rose "2605dn" to the right of the printer "HP Color LaserJet.

    Any suggestions as to how to get this replaced would be greatly appreciated.

    You do not have a faulty cartridge, you have a dusty mirror in scanner Assembly laser.

    You will find the instructions on how to disassemble the printer and clean the mirror through various sources online and probably even in the forums.

    The index that identifies your problem is melted magenta from left to right.

    If you decide to take the machine apart and clean the flat mirror handle cables very gently then reconnect the very carefully.

  • Installed new toner, does not print color

    I have a Photosmart 6525 all-in-one printer and the black toner was low, so I bought new genuine HP toner - 564XL. I installed the toner and received a message on my computer thank me for the installation of an original cartridge. However, when I go to print anything, the black is not printing. The toner level shows that the black is full. Maybe I should have bought a non-genuine toner cartridge if authentic one does not!

    FYI: I received help on this problem over the phone. In case anyone else has this problem, what measures are being taken to solve the problem.

    The color cartridges are low on ink, so I had to replace both (because apparently black HP isn't really just black... it's all the colors too. Great way to make us buy more HP ink!). After installing new cartridges color, I cleaned the cartridge heads and realigned. After that, everything worked.

    Hope that helps someone.

  • HP Laserjet Pro 200 m251nw: I've got streaks printing on laserjet 200.

    All of a sudden, I have red streaks, printing on the right side of my documents. I tried using the cleaning page and it doesn't seem to help. I also have small black dots in various parts of the document which keep appearing on my documents. Cleaning that does not either.

    It seems to be a residue of red on the sponge roll just before the paper out of the printer. How can we clean this roller or must it be replaced to correct? I used my vacuumn to try to clean it up, but it doesn't do any good.

    Need help.

    Hey @AlaskaMariner,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you have a problem of magenta print quality printing of your color HP LaserJet Pro 200 M251nw of the printer. I would like to help you to solve this problem today. Thanks for the troubleshooting steps you have already tried before reaching out for support, including.

    On this model of printer there no zones in the product that you can clean it manually. The only method supported this printer paper path cleaning and area of the cartridge is running the cleaning page. You may need to run the cleaning a few times page to fix this.

    Sometimes red streaks can be caused by a low toner cartridge. When toner is low, it can gather in some areas inside the cartridge and create a "streak". I can have you hold the cartridge by the sides and shake it gently from left to right to redistribute the toner. Once the cartridge has been shaken, reinstall the cartridge. Once your cartridge is re-installed, please test print to see if the problem of dragging is still happening.

    If the problem persists you can please click here for the steps of quality supported by your printer. "Once the document of support opens please run through the steps to"check toner cartridge status"", "make the diagnosis of additional print quality" and "inspect the drum unit for damage".

    If the quality issue persists you may need to try a new HP authentic to verify whether this problem is caused by a magenta cartridge faulty cartridge or the printer.

    The black dots that you see are often caused by a dirty paper path roller or fuser on your printer number. As mentioned previously, the only way to solve a dirty paper path would be to run several pages of cleaning. A defective fuser unit would lead to a replacement of the entire unit.

    Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600: Ink Officejet Pro 8600

    According to the "indication of the ink level", magenta was about 10% or 15%, cyan was 0% and yellow was about 95%. " Black is 25%.
    I replaced the cyan cartridge and before I can even print a single page, magenta level is reported in 0% and still I can not print.
    Can you explain how the magenta level can go from 10% to 0% by simply changing the cyan cartridge? If there is ink in the cartridge magenta before the cyan cartridge has been changed, why are there no ink in the magenta cartridge after that the cyan cartridge has been changed?

    Hey @ellioto,

    I see you have some problems with the ink level on your Officejet Pro 8600 e-all-in-one printer. I can help you with that.

    What is happening is that the gauges are showing you an approximation of the amount of ink remaining in each cartridge is. When you replaced the cyan, the need to align, printer cartridge that uses ink. At this time then the printer has detected that the magenta cartridge was low. Replacement of the cartridge magenta should clear the error message.
