6.1.1.2 Replacement of Consumables
This printer uses a consumable photoconductor unit and toner cartridge. The life of photoconductor unit is
20,000 pages and the toner cartridge life is 3,000 pages, when printing on A4- or letter-size pages with a 5%
print ratio.
If printed images become faint, remove the toner cartridge and gently shake it. This will distribute the toner
and may make the images darker. If the image is still too light, replace the toner cartridge cartridge.
If the printed image remains faint after you have replaced the toner cartridge, change the photo-
conductor unit.
