REPLACING THE TONER CARTRIDGE

The printer can print approximately 2,400 pages (5% coverage: A4/Letter) with one toner cartridge. When the toner cartridge is running low, the Alarm and Data (Toner) lamps blink once every 5 seconds to indicate toner low. Initially, some models are supplied with a starter toner cartridge which must be replaced after 1,000 pages.

Note

￿￿Actual page count will vary depending on your average document type. (i.e.: standard letter, detailed graphics, etc.)

￿￿It is recommended that you always keep a new toner cartridge ready for use for when you get the toner low warning.

￿￿Discard the used toner cartridge according to local regulations. If you are not sure of them, consult your local dealer. Be sure to seal up the toner cartridge tightly so that toner powder does not spill out of the cartridge. Do not discard used toner cartridges together with domestic rubbish.

￿￿It is recommended that you clean the printer when you replace the toner cartridge.

Toner Low and Empty Indication

!Caution

￿￿You may print approximately 100 pages after the first toner low indication. Both Alarm and Data (Toner) lamps will blink continuously to indicate that the toner is empty. Once this indication appears, your printer cannot resume printing until you have installed a new toner cartridge.

￿￿Keep the drum unit level after removing the toner cartridge, to avoid possible toner spill or scatter.

Follow these steps to replace the toner cartridge:

1

Open the top cover towards you. Remove the drum unit by holding each side of the drum and gently lifting the drum forwards towards you.

Note

It is recommended to put the drum unit on a piece of disposable paper or cloth in case of accidental toner spill or scatter.
