Chapter 7: When to replace supplies
Print cartridges
Warning!
Do not touch the car-
tridge by the photoconductor or
shutter assembly.
The photoconductor is the green cylindrical drum in the
print cartridge under the shutter. Together,
the photoconductor and the toner create the print car-
tridge.
The approximate yield of each print cartridge is 10,000
pages. This average yield is determined using A4 or letter
size paper with a 5% toner coverage. The actual yield
depends on the density of print on each page. The maxi-
mum yield of each print cartridge is 15,000 pages. At this
point, the cartridge must be replaced.
When the printer detects the toner supply in a particular
cartridge is getting low, it displays
88 Color Low
. If you do
not already have a replacement print cartridge available,
order one at this time. For more information on ordering
print cartridges or the print cartridge, see “Ordering sup-
plies” on page 113.
Press
Go
to clear the attendance message. The
Supplies
sta-
tus message appears on the second line of the operator
panel to remind you there are supplies that need attention.
Open the Supplies Menu to see which print cartridge is
low.
The printer also continues to display the
88 Color Low
mes-
sage each time you turn the printer on and each time you
open and close the fuser cover, until you replace the print
cartridge or until it’s empty.
Whether or not the printer stops printing when a toner
low condition occurs is based on the Toner Alarm setting
under the Setup Menu. If Toner Alarm is set to single or
continuous, the printer will stop printing. If Toner Alarm
is set to
Off
, the printer will display the
88
Color Low
and
continue to print.
When the life of the print cartridge has expired, the printer
displays
Color Cartridge Empty
. You must replace the print
cartridge.
If you notice a reduction in print quality before the
88 Color Low
message appears, you may want to replace
the cartridge before the
88
Color Low
message is displayed.
