Replacing the Imaging Cartridge
The imaging cartridge contains the print drum and a supply of toner.
If you print typical business A4 size pages with 5% coverage of toner,
the imaging cartridge lasts for approximately 9,000 pages. However,
the life of the imaging cartridge varies with the actual density of toner
that is used.
When the Ready and Error LEDs are lit and the Paper LED is off on
the control panel, a low level of toner in the imaging cartridge is
indicated. This situation will be confirmed by the
Toner Near Empty
message that will appear in the Status Display. Print quality will
gradually decline so a replacement for the imaging cartridge should
be prepared for installation at this time.
To use as much of the remaining toner as possible, remove the imaging
cartridge, shake it 2 or 3 times and reinstall it in the printer. If print
quality is not satisfactory, you should replace the imaging cartridge
with a new one according to the following procedure.
When the Ready and Error LEDs are lit and the Paper LED is
blinking on the control panel, the imaging cartridge is now empty.
The imaging cartridge must be replaced.
Note
• The Toner Near Empty message appears in the Status Monitor as a
reminder that the imaging cartridge will run out of toner soon. Since
print quality will decline after the
Toner Empty message appears,
replacement with a new imaging cartridge is recommended when the
Toner Near Empty message is displayed.
• The imaging cartridge that comes with the printer is capable of pro-
ducing approximately 5,000 A4-size prints.
