Troubleshooting and routine maintenance
The following are maintenance messages that appear alternately with the normal message on the upper row of the LCD when the machine is in the Ready mode. These messages advise you that you will need to replace each of the consumable items as soon as possible, since the consumable item’s end of life has been reached. The machine will continue printing when any of these messages appear on the LCD.

Note
•Discard used consumable items according to local regulations, keeping it separate from domestic waste. If you have questions, call your local waste disposal office. Be sure to reseal the consumable items tightly so that the material inside does not spill.
•We recommend placing used consumable items on a piece of paper to prevent accidentally spilling or scattering the material inside.
•If you use paper that is not a direct equivalent for the recommended paper, the life of consumable items and machine parts may be reduced.
•The projected life for toner cartridges and a waste toner box is based on an average 5% coverage of the printable area using any color toner cartridge. Frequency of replacement will vary depending on the complexity of printed pages, percentage of coverage and type of media used.
