error message 10.1000 supply memory error flashing

[jkhandel]

Just bought laserjet M1213nf MFP and  installation done by the HP reseller engineer. From first use after power on every time this error is flashing

10.1000 Supply memory error

To accept press OK

After pressing OK this error keeps flashing at regular interval. The printing etc functions are OK, what can be the problem?

Well I sure can't tell you because I bought the same printer and have the exact same problem! The only difference is I powered the printer up BEFORE I ever connected it to the computer and got this message. And, surprise, surprise, the worthless manual doesn't even mention this error.

I hope we both get and answer.

Just take out your toner cartridge. If you find an orange color notch on the left side, just remove it. Re-insert the cartridge and restart the printer . This should resolve your issue.

Thanks, your post saved the day!

Was getting frustrated in trying to find solution, was concerned if faxes were being missed or being sent incomplete, message didn't make since.  The error message should have displayed "Remove Orange Tab from print cartridge!".

Who would have thought the answer was so simple!

Thanks again!

It seems that the Orange plastic is preventing the printer from sensing a sensor behind it, for that it gives the error message. I removed the Orange Plastic and it gives me ready status.

Thanks for the answer to "supply memory error flashing"  I just purchased this from Staples and got it all set up, but kept getting this message.  I have removed the orange tab and it is working fine.
