General Information

This chapter describes basic maintenance tasks you can perform for the printer. You can replace the toner container according to the printer's status:

Also, the internal parts need periodic cleaning.

Note Information Collection on Memory Chips - The memory chip attached to the toner container is designed to improve convenience for the end user; to support the recycling operation of empty toner containers; and to gather information to support new product planning and development. The information gathered is anonymous - it cannot be associated to any specific individual and the data is intended to be used anonymously.

Toner Container Replacement

The Toner indicator identifies the toner status at two stages of toner usage.

•When the printer becomes low on toner, the Toner indicator flashes. Note the replacement is not always necessary at this stage.

•If you ignore the above status and continue printing, the Toner indicator lights up just before the toner is used up. The toner container must then be replaced immediately.

In either case, replace the toner container.
