Chapter 4
Maintenance
This printer is designed to provide years of trouble-free service without the necessity
of printer module replacement. However, you must replace the toner container in the
printer with a replacement container from a new toner kit. Also, to ensure good print
quality, various parts inside the printer must be cleaned at regular intervals.
4.1. Toner Kit Replacement
The toner container in the printer should be replaced as soon as the message display shows
Toner low Clean printer
or soon after. If you continue to use the printer, eventually the toner
supply will be exhausted at which point the printer will stop printing and the
Replace Toner Clean printer
message will be shown instructing you to install a new toner kit.
Toner kit replacement interval
The life of the toner container will vary according to the density of print in your documents. If you print doc-
uments with an actual toner coverage of approximately 5% (with the Ecoprint mode* turned off), the toner
container will need replacing approximately once every 10,000** pages (20,000 pages with the BT-2000).
* Turning the Ecoprint mode ON conserves toner. Refer to Chapter 2 for details.
** In the case of a new printer in which a toner kit has been installed for the first time, the number of pages that can be printed will be 6,000.

The toner kit to be used with this printer is the BT-2000. It contains the following:
❒
Toner container
❒
Waste toner bottle
