Toner Container Replacement

Frequency of toner container replacement

The life of the toner containers depends on the amount of toner required to accomplish your printing jobs. When 5% coverage (a typical business document) of individual toner colors is assumed for A4 or letter size paper:

The black toner container lasts an average of 15,000 monochrome pages.

The cyan, magenta, and yellow toner containers last an average of 7,000 color images.

You can print a status page to check how much toner remains in the toner container. The Toner Gauge in the consumables status section on the status page shows a progress bar for each color, which roughly represents how much toner is left in the toner container.

Starter Toner Containers

The toner containers packed with the new printer are starter toner containers. The black starter toner container lasts an average of 7,500 monochrome pages. The cyan, magenta, and yellow starter toner containers last an average of 3,500 color images for each.

Toner Kits

It is strongly recommended that you use the new toner kit supplied from the manufacturer to prevent printer troubles and ensure a long printer life.

The toner kits are supplied in 4 different colors: cyan, magenta, yellow and black.

A new toner kit for each color contains the following items:

Toner Container

Cleaning cloth

Plastic waste bags for old toner container and old waste toner box

Waste toner box

Installation Guide

NOTE: Do not remove the toner container from the carton until you are ready to install it in the printer.

Understanding Messages Requesting Toner Container Replacement

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 [GO] and make the printer ready.

In either case, replace the toner container, refer to Replacing the Toner Container on page 3-9.
