how to determine which toner cartridge needs to be replaced?

Right above the fax, scan, copy buttons there is a window that will tell you to replace toner and what color needs to be replaced.

Look at the panel, it will tell you. If it says toner it is the Black, all of the other it tells you the color.

In the window it will show you, it will say red or black ink cartridge needs replaced.

The screen will tell you which cartridge needs to be replaced. That being said, I have found that it always tells me really early. If I changed it out when it said to it would be about twice as much in cartridges. I always reset the warning and continue printing until I notice a decline in the quality. Then I change the toner. This isn't the best solution if you are trying to print high quality color documents as one color might be low and the others OK so the quality suffers a little bit but in our office we rarely need high quality prints and the cost savings make it worth it for us.

Pretty sure I did check that but has been awhile now and I no longer have that cartridge. My printer has been repaired and I will now only use ink from a source I am familiar with.

What is the cartridge number for your printer? I usually use that to figure out which refill kit that I need.

I believe the one I purchased through Amazon was new. New cartridges have a new chip in them which monitors the quantity of toner in the cartridge.

You should look at the cartridge and it will tell you what printer it will work with.

I actually have had this same situation with other laser printers, other brands....think it may just be a built-in reminder to have a replacement on hand. I simply continue to use the cartridge until it is fully empty but I do have my replacement on hand and ready. I may look at it differently but I don't see it as a complaint...am VERY pleased with the overall usage and the COST of usage.

The replacement toner cartridge is an SP 201LA (http://www.ricoh-usa.com/products/product_details.aspx?cid=2&scid=2&pid=2620&ptm=accessories#pdtfeatures)

I have no experience with that, but I believe you would need to contact them through Amazon and explain the problem and they would ship you a new toner upon your return of the defective one. Again, I have had a good experience thus far with Cartitech so the foregoing is just speculation.

I have not had any issues with the toner. I have not replaced my yellow cartridge yet. Clean copies with all the other colors. I would get it replaced.

This toner was okay prior toner I bought from you was not totally full, probably used, and ran out of ink. Also I bought a set of cartridges where one was immediately ineffective, leaving a yellow line on all printed pages.

Your printer will tell you which cartridge(s) needs replaced. And the other cartridges can be stored for later. ;)

Open the printer cover and pull out the toner. Shake it a few times and put it back. Try to print and see the message is clear.

There's usually a message in the menu screen that indicates which color needs to be replaced but unless UR buying the printer company replacements whichever very expensive just replace all with the Blake company replacement cartridges n u should be printing with no problems

Relying on the date purchased to determine which model you have is risky imo, I would just give them a call and they will ask for the serial number on your model and confirm which model you have and which cartridges you can use. I understand they have also come out with a life time cartridge for the older model as well.

No. I've used V4Ink and Monoprice cartridges and they just dump toner all over the page. I'm just going to buy a new printer since it's cheaper than buying new (though higher capacity) toner cartridges. I really wish printer companies would stop this silly "starter toner" BS and just sell printers with regular cartridges.

Check the docs on your specific model, this is a direct replacement for the tn450 toner cart.
