Precautions during replacement
Always observe the following handling precautions
when replacing consumable products or maintenance
parts.
For details about the replacements, see the instructions
that come with the consumable products.
!
Caution:
❏
Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked
with a caution label, or the surrounding areas. If
the printer has been in use, the fuser and
surrounding areas may be very hot.
❏
Do not dispose of used consumable products or
maintenance parts in fire, as they may explode
and cause injury. Dispose of them according to
local regulations.
❏
Provide enough space for the replacement
procedure. You will have to open some parts (such
as the printer cover) of the printer when you are
replacing consumables or maintenance parts.
❏
Do not install used consumable products or
maintenance parts that reach end of service life into
the printer.
For details about the handling precautions, see
“Handling the consumable products and maintenance
parts” on page 8
If a consumable product or maintenance part reaches
the end of its service life, the printer displays the
following message on the LCD panel or the window of

Cleaning the Printer
The printer needs only minimal cleaning to keep it in
good condition.
If the printer’s outer case is dirty or dusty, turn off the
printer and clean it with a soft, clean cloth moistened
with a mild detergent.

Never use alcohol or paint thinner to clean the printer
