Replacing the waste toner container
The life of the waste toner container unit is approximately 1,250 pages for full color 5% image printing or 5,000 images for black printing. When the life span of the waste toner container has expired, Replace/Install Waste Toner Tank appears on the display of the control panel, indicating the waste toner container needs to be replaced. Otherwise your printer stops printing.

1Turn the machine off, then wait a few minutes for the machine to cool.
2Open the front cover.
3Pull the waste toner container out of the machine using its handle.
Note
Make sure that you lay the waste toner container on a flat surface so that the toner does not spill.
