Performing preventative maintenance

 

You should replace certain parts when the PERFORM PRINTER MAINTENANCE message appears

 

on the printer control panel display. This will help ensure that your printer maintains optimum

 

performance.

 

The maintenance message will appear every 200,000 pages. The message can be temporarily

 

cleared for approximately 10,000 pages using the CLEAR MAINTENANCE MESSAGE item on the

 

Resets submenu. (See “CLEAR MAINTENANCE MESSAGE” on page 166.) To check the

 

number of pages the printer has printed since new maintenance-kit components were installed,

 

print either a configuration page or a supplies status page. (See “Configuration page” on page 83

 

or “Supplies status page” on page 85 for details.)

 

To order the printer maintenance kit, see “Ordering information” on page 17. The kit includes:
