Maintenance
Component Life cycle (in pages)
Toner cartridge 1,500 pages
Cleaning pad 1,500 pages
Drum unit 10,000 pages*
Service overhaul 100,000 pages
*If you regularly print high density graphics (more than 20% page density), you
need to replace the drum unit more often.
The toner cartridge and cleaning pad must be replaced about every
1,500 pages. (The initial toner cartridge lasts about 750 pages.) A
TONER EMPTY message appears when it is time to change these
components.
The drum unit must be replaced about every 10,000 pages. (If you
regularly print high density graphics (more than 20% page density),
you need to replace the drum unit at the same time you install the
eighth toner cartridge.) When you replace the drum unit, it is also
necessary to change the drum replacement cartridge, which
monitors drum usage.
A CHANGE DRUM message appears when it is time to change the
drum unit and drum replacement cartridge. Also, the indicator light
on the drum replacement cartridge helps you monitor drum usage,
so that you know when a drum change is imminent.
A service overhaul must be performed at 100,000 pages by an
authorized Epson dealer.
Each of these procedures is described in detail in this chapter.
