I have a problem with my Oki C5300. After initializion, the control panel always displays the error message : “Replace Belt 356: Belt life” while it is OK if it is intalled on OKI C3200 or C5150 that I have. Error code 356 indicates the waste toner tank is full. Belt life indicates the life of the tranfer belt is ended. And OKI asks you to purchase a new belt with the price is at least $180 on Ebay.
Via Internet, I found few solutions to help resetting without purchasing the new one. For example, from US to UK or Australia, the resetting kit cost changes from $14 to $40.
Obviously, this type of error is bringing bucks to somebody!
For me, I don’t want to spend a lot of money for one thing that I know exactly it is good for other Oki printers that I own.
I found a post related when I google “Belt resetting on C5300n”.
Following are the instructions:
1. Turn on the printer while holding both the “+” and the “&” buttons at the same time until the user menu appears on the monitor.
2. Scrolling up or down by pressing “+” or “-” for “ENGINE DIAG MODE.” Press “Enter” to enter the “DIAGNOSTIC MODE xx.xx.xx” section.
3. Press and hold both the “-” and “On-line” buttons until “ENG DIAG LEVEL 2” is displayed.
4. Scrolling up or down by pressing “+” or “-” for “CONSUMABLE COUNTER SET” then press “Enter.”
5. Scrolling up or down by pressing “+” or “-” to find your consumable item. Press “Enter.”
6. Press “Cancel” to decrease the number or press “On-line” button to increase the number. You can also press the “+” or “-” for adjustment.
7. Hold these three buttons simultaneously until the “*” appears next to the digital count: On-line, Cancel, and Back.
8. Reset the consumable’s count to the number you selected, for instance, 50.
I have tried this procedure however it does not work.
Why?
Why?
Why ?
Oh, I understand why…
The reason is this error message is not caused by the transfer bell but by the printer itself. The first time error, Oki gives you a favor to keep on with 500 pages. After 500 pages if you do not replace the belt, then this error is stamped on the RAM with no excuse every time you turn on C5300,
Instead of Oki C5300 I tried Google Oki C5200, because I think the operation system of two printers is same. I am lucky. I would like to share to everybody about my experiences. Hope this post may help you in the case you want to reset your belt, drum, fuser.
I also thank the author of this post. Yours helps me solve a very difficult problem, bring my printer back to normal. No more “replace Belt, 356: Belt life” is displayed.
