Maintenance
Maintenance roller
The printer uses the maintenance roller as part of its self-maintenance routine to
coat the print drum with oil before each print. The maintenance roller (and its
counter) must be replaced after about 30,000 prints (the starter maintenance roller
must be replaced after 10,000 prints). A front panel message indicates when the
maintenance roller is low. Printing is still possible when the maintenance roller
fluid is low. When a front panel message indicates the maintenance roller is
“empty,” the maintenance roller and its counter must be replaced before
continued printing is possible. Refer to the instructions included with the kit to
replace the maintenance roller kit.
Note
The drum fluid, an oil, poses no known adverse health effects.
Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet for amino oil in

for more information.
Waste tray
The maintenance drawer contains a waste tray that collects ink that has been
purged from the printer’s ink jets. The waste tray should be emptied each time
the maintenance drawer is removed from the printer. Refer to “Caring for Your
Printer,” in the
Phaser 840 Quick Reference Guide for instructions on removing and
emptying the waste tray. Be sure to insert the waste tray into the maintenance
drawer before reinstalling the maintenance drawer in the printer. Never reuse
waste ink in the printer.
