- Known Issues/Notes of Interest:
- Upgrading the CS82x, CX82x, and CX86x devices and their equivalents (CSTPP and CXTPP firmware) to a 230.xxx firmware release may cause the toner level of the device to begin reporting 100% even if the cartridge is not full. This will correct itself when the cartridge level reaches 10% full. A fix is in progress for this issue and will be available at a later date. Contact Technical Support if needed..
