Selecting Toner Low Response

Selecting the toner low response allows you to determine how the printer will behave when the printer detects a toner level is low.

The printer uses the toner low response setting as the setting for

TRANSFER KIT LOW REPLACE KIT, FUSER LIFE LOW REPLACE KIT, TONER LOW, and DRUM LIFE LOW REPLACE DRUM KIT messages. For example, if the toner low response is set to STOP, then when the TRANSFER KIT LOW REPLACE KIT message appears on the printer control panel the printer will stop printing until the transfer kit is replaced or GO is pressed.

To select the toner low response

1Press MENU until CONFIGURATION MENU appears on the printer control panel display.

2Press ITEM until TONER LOW appears on the display.

3Press -VALUE+until the option you want appears on the display. The available options include the following:

•STOP will take the printer offline. Pressing GO will bring the printer online and allow printing to continue until the toner cartridge is empty. When the toner cartridge is empty, the message TONER OUT REPLACE <Color> will be displayed.

•CONTINUE will display the TONER LOW REPLACE <Color> warning until the toner cartridge is empty.

4Press SELECT to save the selection. An asterisk (*) appears to the right of the selection.

5Press GO to bring the printer online.

Although this option allows you to configure the printer behavior when the consumable lives are low, print quality will eventually degrade after a consumable's life has reached low, regardless of how you have configured the printer response. These print quality problems can be fixed by replacing the consumable.
