Replacing the Toner Cartridge
This section describes how to replace or handle a toner cartridge and precautions
on storing it.
When a Message Appears
Toner cartridge is a consumable product. When a toner cartridge has reached its
lifetime, a message will appear in the Printer Status Window. Take measurements
according to the message.
IMPORTANT
If the printout becomes faint or inconsistent, the reason is that the life of the toner
cartridge has been reached even when a message does not appear. Do not continue to
use the toner cartridge and replace it with new one when there is deterioration in print
quality.
NOTE
The cartridge designed for this printer (EP-66 Cartridge) has a life span of up to
approximately 10,000 sheets of A4 size paper when loaded in landscape orientation.
This is based on printing typical word processing documents that have about 5% page
coverage with the print density set to the default setting. The life of your cartridge may
vary depending on the type of documents printed. If your average document contains a
lot of graphics, tables, or charts, the life of the toner cartridge will be shorter as they
consume more toner.
