Maintenance Messages
The printer’s display lets you know when you need to perform
routine maintenance procedures. The toner cartridge and drum unit
must be replaced on a regular basis. The messages described below
tell you
when
to perform these tasks.
It is recommended that you keep in stock at least one drum unit and
several replacement toner cartridges. See Appendix B for storage
information.
Toner empty message
The initial toner cartridge, which is shipped with your printer, lasts
about 750 pages. Replacement toner cartridges last about 1,500
pages. These page amounts are based on letter or A4-size pages with
normal text printing (5 percent print density). If you print higher
density graphics or use larger paper,
the
number of pages per
cartridge may decrease. The number of pages can also vary if you
change the print density control setting (described in Chapter 2).
The
TONER EMPTY message
indicates that you
need to
do
the
following:
l
Replace the toner cartridge
l
Replace the cleaning pad, which is packed with your
replacement toner cartridge
l
Perform certain routine cleaning procedures, which take only a
few moments. (Since cleaning your printer requires you to turn
off the power, you may want to finish your print job before
cleaning the printer.)
Changing the toner cartridge and cleaning pad
Replace
the
toner cartridge and cleaning pad as follows.
