The maintenance message will appear every 200,000 pages. To check the number of pages the printer has printed, print either a configuration page or a supplies status page (see “Configuration page” on page 152 or “Supplies status page” on page 154 for details).

To order the printer maintenance kit, see “Ordering information” on page 22. The kit includes:
