What it means
Xerox explains that fault code 09-800 on the B215 appears because an incompatible toner cartridge has been detected. The printer checks that the installed cartridge is meant for that model and, if it does not recognise it as such, stops printing. Xerox asks you to remove and reinstall it, verify it is the correct cartridge and use genuine cartridges designed for that printer. The Supplies Usage report shows the matching part number. The code does not point to a printer fault.
