Toner Container Replacement
Requirements
The actual life of a toner container depends on the amount of
toner you use for printing your particular documents. With
about 5% coverage (a typical business document) and
printing on A4 or letter size paper, landscape orientation, a
toner container can print approximately 20,000 images. The
actual number of images that can be copied depends on the
content of the images.
You can print a status page to check how much toner you
have remaining in each toner container. For details, see
3.3.2
Printing a Status Page on page 3-17
.
Starter toner containers
The toner containers packed with the new printer are starter
toner containers. The starter toner containers lasts an average
of 6,000 pages under the conditions described above.

Toner Container Replacement
Request
The printer displays messages for individual colors at two
stages of toner usage. This message is automatically
alternated with the other printer message (such as
Ready
):
•
When the printer becomes low on toner, for example in
the cyan container, the printer displays the message
Toner low C
,
M
,
Y
,
K
as the first caution. Note the
replacement is not always necessary at this stage.
•
If you ignore the above message and continue printing,
the printer displays the message
Replace Toner
—
just before the toner is used up. The toner container must
be replaced immediately. Clean the separate charger
wires, etc. After the cleaning is finished, however, the
message does not automatically change to
Ready
. To
restart printing, you must press the
GO
key and make the
printer ready.
In either case, to replace the toner container, see
Section 5.1

5.1.3
Replacing the Toner Container
Note
During toner container replacement,
temporarily put storage media and computer
supplies (such as floppy disks) away from
around the toner container. This is to avoid
damaging media by the magnetism of toner.
This section explains how to replace the toner containers.
When replacing the toner container of any color, always
replace the waste toner box at the same time. If this box is
full, the printer may be damaged or contaminated by the
waste toner that may spill over the box.
Note
You do not have to turn printer power off before
starting the replacement. Any data that may be
under printing process in the printer will be
deleted if you turn printer power off.
