Printing a cleaning sheet
If you are experiencing blurred, faded, or smeared printouts, you can
clear the problem by printing a cleaning sheet, provided by your printer.
You can print:
• OPC Cleaning sheet: cleans the OPC drum of the print cartridge.

This process will produce a page with toner debris, which should be
discarded.

and prints out a cleaning sheet with dust or toner particles on it.
Maintaining the print cartridge
Print cartridge storage
To get the most from the print cartridge, keep the following guidelines in
mind:
• Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until ready for use.
• Do not refill the print cartridge. The printer warranty does not cover
damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store print cartridge in the same environment as the printer.
• To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for
more than a few minute.
Expected cartridge life
The print cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that print jobs
require. Average yield for a new print cartridge is either 10,000 or 4000
standard pages in accordance with the ISO/IEC 19752 standard.
(Average yield for the original print cartridge supplied with the machine
is 4,000 standard pages.) The actual number may also be different
depending on the print density of the pages you print on, and the number
of pages may be affected by operating environment, printing interval,
media type, and media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need
to change the cartridge more often.
Saving Toner
To save toner, press Toner Save on the control panel . The button
backlight turns on.
Using this feature extends the life of the print cartridge and reduce your
cost per page, but it also reduces print quality.
Checking the remaining toner
You can check the level of toner left in the cartridge.
If you are having print quality problems, this can help you determine if
the problem is caused by low toner.
1 Press Menu until System Setup appears on the bottom line of the
display press OK .
2 Press the scroll buttons until Maintenance appears and press OK .
3 Press the scroll buttons until Supplies Life appears and press OK .
