This chapter describes how to replace supplies and how to clean the machine.
Replacing the Print Cartridge
• If "Replacement Required: Print Cartridge" is displayed in the control panel, replace the print
cartridge by following the procedure described below. However, this message will not be
displayed if [Toner End Option] has been set to [Continue Printing]. Replace the print cartridge if
the printed image becomes pale or blurred. For details about [Toner End Option], see page 180
"System Settings".
• Store print cartridges in a cool dark place.
• Actual printable numbers vary depending on image volume and density, number of pages printed
at a time, paper type and size, and environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity.
Toner quality degrades over time.
• For good print quality, the manufacturer recommends that you use genuine toner from the
manufacturer.
• The manufacturer shall not be responsible for any damage or expense that might result from the use
of parts other than genuine parts from the manufacturer with your office products.
1. Open the front cover, and then carefully lower it.
2. Hold the center of the print cartridge and carefully raise it slightly and then pull it out
horizontally.
