4.1. Toner Kit Replacement

Chapter 4

Maintenance

This printer is designed to provide years of trouble-free service without the necessity of printer module replacement. However, you must replace the toner container in the printer with a replacement container from a new toner kit. Also, to ensure good print quality, vari- ous parts inside the printer must be cleaned at regular intervals.

4.1.Toner Kit Replacement

The toner container in the printer should be replaced as soon as the message display shows

7RQHU ORZ 7.ðëè &OHDQ SULQWHUor soon after. If you continue to use the printer, eventually the toner supply will be exhausted at which point the printer will stop printing and the

5HSODFH 7RQHU &OHDQ SULQWHU message will be shown instructing you to install a new toner kit.

Toner kit replacement interval

The life of the toner container will vary according to the density of print in your documents. If you print doc- uments with an actual toner coverage of approximately 5% (with the Ecoprint mode* turned off), the toner container will need replacing approximately once every 5,000** pages.

*Turning the Ecoprint mode ON conserves toner. Refer to Chapter 2 for details.

**In the case of a new printer in which a toner kit has been installed for the first time, the number of pages that can be printed will be 2,500.

Toner Kit to be Used

The toner kit to be used with this printer is the TK-25. It contains the following:

❒Toner container

❒Waste toner bottle

❒Wiper (lint-free) cloth

❒Grid cleaner

❒2 plastic bags (for disposal of the old toner container and waste toner bottle)

❒User’s Manual

Supplying Toner

☛Before proceeding, take note of the following:

‹Do not leave floppy disks etc. lying around while performing this maintenance procedure. This procedure tends to raise a little toner dust which can harm magnetic recording media.

‹Do not attempt to reuse the waste toner remaining in the toner container.

‹Use only the toner kit exclusively designed for the printer. Use of a toner kit intended for use with other printer models may damage the printer and void the warranty.
