1) With the printer powered off but connected to a power source, press the Power button while pressing and holding the Stop/ Reset button.
2) When the Power is lit, press the Stop/Reset button two times while pressing and holding the Power button.
3) When releasing the Power button and the Stop / Reset button (regardless of order), the printer will move into a service mode. (Waiting for menu selection).
4) When the on/off lights in green, press the Stop/Reset button the specified number of time(s) according to the function listed in the table below.(Each time the Stop/Reset button is pressed, the LED lights alternately in orange and green, starting with orange).
note: press 4 times for waste ink counter reset.
5) Unplug cable power. (for MP145 / MP150).
6) Turn Off Power. (for MP160).

There are several things you can try first.

(1)Clean the top rim of the toner waste bottle, usually that will clean the message.Sometimes by cleaning the bottle fully you can get away with it.Otherwise,replacing the bottle.

(2)Clean the sensor around the toner waste bottle.When you remove the toner there is a black kind of looking button,clean around that and push it in several times

(3)When you have the toner waste bottle in,make sure its clicked in fully.On the right of the waste toner bottle at the rim,there is a little clip that holds the waste toner bottle in.Its common that the clip gets broken, and the bottle will just pop out from the top when you insert the bottle.Even when you close the left cover door,it should hold the bottle in place, but it doesn't.

Let me know how you get on, cause I work on Kyocera printers every day,and they are not engineer friendly.

Turn on your MP110.
After that press: Menu - Scan - Copy - Scan.
It will enter in Service Mode.
Here I don't know exactly the procedure but may be something like that for mpc190/200 that follow:
Resetting the Waste Ink Volume Counter
1) Enter SERVICE MODE.---
By pressing Menu-Copy-Scan-Copy-Copy
2) Select TEST MODE.
3) Select [8] PRINTER TEST in TEST MODE.
4) Select 3. [EEPROM CLEAR].
5) Select 0. [INK COUNT].
6) Press the [OK] key.
7) Press the [Stop/Reset] key (returning to the state of 3)), and then press the [ON/OFF] key.

The trailing cable has nothing to do with the primer motor, the only thing all errors have in common is the main PCA.

Actually the best oil for the carriage rail is NYE #79, but Tri-Flow is easier to find.

Here are the HP part numbers for the lubricant recommended for the slider rods in the 750C, it is also used in other HP plotters, but not all HP plotters. The only difference between the two is the size bottle you get.

6040-0854 $8.83 Synthetic Oil (1/2oz Plastic Bottle - For lubricating the front and rear slider rods

6040-0855 $28.00 Synthetic oil - 4oz (113g) plastic bottle - For lubricating the front and rear slider rods


This is a combination of the lists of machines HP partsurfer says the two part numbers listed work on, HP doesn't cross reference this one well, so I took the lists for each part number and combined them.

A half ounce will last longer than the plotter if you have only one machine.

I also use this lubricant on DeskJet 9XX carriage rails, and on any DeskJet not listed below.

As mentioned HP uses a different lubricant on the carriage rails in some of the other plotters they built, here is a part number and list.

Part number 6040-0858 is used in the following HP products:

6040-0858 $19.79 Lubricant : Special lubricating oil - For carriage slider rod surface - 4oz (113g) plastic bottle of synthetic oil

One more thing.

There is a helical gear on the end of the paper feed roller in HP plotters, I think all the plotters use the same grease.

C3190-60155 $29.00 Lubricant : Grease - For helical gear (Drive roller gear)

Generally when you get three errors like this they are related. You say the demo plot works fine. Does it work fine all the time? I would doubt it. One area which is overlooked but could be an issue is the trailing cable. The carriage assembly has to send signals back to the main board and if the trailing cable is bad those signals get messed up. Also check the encoder strip for dirt or missing lines. The position of the carriage is determined by the encoder strip. The best way to check the movement of the carriage assembly is to turn off the power and then you can move it by hand. Move it from left to right and right to left and it should move smoothly with a little friction. If you hit bumps it could be the belt is defective or you may have crud from the belt on the pulley or motor shaft. If movement is very tight it could be the rails need lubrication. The best is triflow oil which you can get from a cyle shop. Thru the menu you can test the drop detector.

Rang up Lexmark and they sent me out a replacement printer. They didn't even want the old one back. They just asked where I bought it and when, and took the serial number. Told them got it in August, but the serial said it was made in may but got it exchanged within days. told me to take the faulty one to a recycling centre. You have to keep all of the power cables though as they don't send you replacements for these or for ink.

Check to see if the scanner unit lights up or moves at all. When you power on lift the scan lid & see if the scanner warms up. If there is no motion or light it may be a dead scanner or a bad main board. See the posts on the laserjet 3330 scanner failure to see if yours may have a yellowed reflector in between the 2 scan light bulbs causing it to not initialize.
