Maintenance
This chapter explains how to replace the toner container and
how to clean the internal parts of the printer. When you
replace the toner container, make sure to clean the internal
parts of the printer.
The toner container in the printer should be replaced as soon
as the message display shows
Toner low
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
message will be shown instructing you
to install a new toner kit.
Assuming paper of A4 size, an average toner coverage of ap-
proximately 5 % and Ecoprint mode turned off, the toner
container will need replacing approximately once every
10,000 pages.*
* For a new printer with a toner kit installed for the first
time, the number of copies that can be printed will be ap-
proximately 5,000.
