MAINTENANCE

Notice:

Do not remove the toner bottle from the print unit until all the toner has been used in order to avoid scattering toner inside the printer.

Replacing the Print Unit and Internal Cleaning

The print unit life is designed to last about 30,000 pages of 5% coverage continuous printing on A4 paper or about one year after unpacking, whichever comes first. The print unit life depends on print coverage, paper type, and operating and/or storage conditions. The print unit life ends when background smudge, ghosting, or dropouts occurs. Avoid unnecessary high coverage printing to maintain the print unit performance.

For the print unit life, this printer indicates the near end of life only. The printer message display begins indicating REPLACE PARTS when the print unit can print 3000 to 5000 more pages left. Prepare a new print unit if you notice this indication.

Even if the print unit reaches its near-end-of-life, use the print unit until its toner runs out (the message display indicates TONER EMPTY) for economy. After replacing the print unit, be sure to reset the print unit counter by using the control panel. For control panel operations, see the end of this section.
