Component

Function

1. Print Density Dial

Has a range of 1–9 to adjust the print density.

 

Selecting the lower numbers results in heavier or

 

darker print density. For most printing applications

 

the dial can be set to 7. See Section 2.10 for additional

 

information about setting the print density.

2. Cleaning Brush

The (green) cleaning brush has two cleaning surfaces:

 

The brush end, which is used to clean the discharging

 

pins on the transfer corona assembly; and the fabric

 

end, which is used to clean the primary corona wire

 

in the EP-S cartridge. See Chapter 7 for more

 

information about using the cleaning brush.

3. Fixing Assembly

The fixing assembly consists of a heat roller, a

 

pressure roller, and a roller cleaner. Toner is bonded

 

to the paper as it passes between the heat and

 

pressure rollers. The roller cleaner removes excess

 

toner that may accumulate on the heat roller. The

 

roller cleaner is replaced each time a new EP-S

 

cartridge is installed. Each EP-S cartridge comes

 

with replacement instructions, or you can refer to

 

Section 7.3 for more information about replacing the

 

roller cleaner.

4. EP-S Cartridge

The EP-S cartridge contains a photo-sensitive drum,

 

the primary charge corona wire, a drum cleaning

 

blade, toner, and a toner application roller. When

 

the 16 TONER LOW message first appears, it could

 

mean that the toner is not being distributed evenly.

 

Rock the cartridge to redistribute the toner (see

 

Section 7.3). If the 16 TONER LOW message

 

continues to be displayed after you rock the cartridge,

 

it means the EP-S cartridge has run out of toner and

 

you should replace it. Each EP-S cartridge comes

 

with replacement instructions, or see Section 7.3 for

 

instructions if necessary.

5. Ozone Filter

Removes ozone generated by the printer. The ozone

 

filter is replaced every 100,000 pages. The page count

 

is shown on Test Print A (see Section 2.12). See

 

Section 7.4 for replacement instructions.

 

WARNING: Do not operate the printer without the

 

ozone filter in place. The filter removes ozone that

 

could be hazardous to your health.
