- Service codes alert the user when a consumable is near or has reached the normal service or replacement interval.
- If you continue to use the machine without replacing a toner cartridge, the message “Replace Toner Supplies Running Low” will appear on the screen, and the machine will stop printing.
- K error codes indicate the replacement or maintenance of consumables.
- Download and install the software.
- It will scan your computer to find problems.
- The tool will then correct the issues that were discovered.
On the control panel, service codes are displayed. These codes indicate when a consumable needs to be replaced or is near its normal replacement date. An indication of which color needs to be replaced sooner is displayed when the “Consumables Needed Sooner” message appears.
The message “Toner Supplies Running Low” does not indicate that toner need to be replaced, but it’s always a good idea to have another toner cartridge handy when the message appears. You will be notified when “Replace Toner Supplies Running Low” appears on the screen if you continue to use the machine without replacing a toner cartridge.
Use the plastic bag to store the used toner cartridge (do not toss it away). In order to find out how much toner is left, press the [COPY] button continuously during printing or in standby mode to view how much toner is left. During printing or when the machine is in standby mode, press the [COPY] button continuously. Press the key to see the percentage of toner left. Replace your toner cartridge as soon as the percentage drops to “25-0%.”
There has been a 90% reduction in maintenance counter since Black Developer was replace.
Vk Code
This error code indicates that you may need to replace the black developer soon. It indicates that the maintenance counter for the developer has reached 90%, thus a service interval is recommended.
Whenever you see one of these codes on your computer, contact your service provider. They indicate that a maintenance interval is approaching. You can set the machine to cease printing when these codes appear. The service provider resets the counters after the maintenance interval, and the codes no longer display.
What causes a VK error code on a Sharp printer?
There are maintenance codes for Sharp’s MX-2614N and MX-3114N copiers in this post. When the copier’s consumables reach a specific lifecycle, you can use these codes to perform maintenance.
Printers are the most common devices connected to computers in the office. The overall performance of computer programs is determined by their code and connections.
We often encounter VK errors when using Sharp printers when printing a document. We shouldn’t worry about these errors, because they are solved every now and then.
Plug the printer back in and turn it on after it has turned off completely. After it has rested for at least 60 seconds, try printing again.
The codes indicate that a maintenance interval is unavoidable. You should inform your service provider if one appears. The device will continue printing normally after the maintenance interval. In some cases, when these codes appear on the machine, the machine can be configured to stop printing. Upon completion of the service, the counters are reset to zero and the codes no longer appear.
This is an error code that indicates that the consumables on an Sharp printer need to be replaced or maintained.

We highly recommend that you use this tool for your error. Furthermore, this tool detects and removes common computer errors, protects you from loss of files, malware, and hardware failures, and optimizes your device for maximum performance. This software will help you fix your PC problems and prevent others from happening again:
- Step 1 : Install PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (Windows 10, 8, 7, XP, Vista).

Notify your service provider about the error
A developer maintenance counter reached 90% of its maximum value on your Sharp printer, which means it’s time for a maintenance interval.
Afterwards, contact the service provider to have the counters reset. This will prevent the error code from appearing on the control panel in the future.
Sharp Mx 5141n
Printing at a resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi, the Sharp MX-5141N prints 51 pages per minute. A standard paper input capacity of 1,100 sheets is available, and that capacity can be increased to 6,600 sheets for SRA3 paper sizes. It can print on media up to 12″ x 18″ inches.
In the manual, I never seem to be able to find what I am looking for. I get the message that says Maintenance Code TA. I am not sure if it is the transfer belt, but if so, what needs to be done and what part numbers do I need? My customer has 6 Canons and 2 Sharp 4141s. The 431K on it is 431K.
Printing will continue normally during this time, but some users report problems with the quality of printed page copies. If VK, VC, VM, or VY are displayed on the printer, it can be set to stop printing.
Turning the printer off and on
Alternatively, if you are unable to continue using the printer as usual, you can turn the printer off and on again before letting your service provider reload the development unit.
In order to turn off the Sharp printer, press and hold the On/Off button for about 5 seconds. A message may appear saying Please Wait if the printer does not respond to any of your pressings.
The printer must be turned completely off before being plugged back in and turned on. After that, let it rest for at least 60 seconds and try printing again.
