L N 1 7 P r i n t e r Q u i c k T o u r

Maintaining the printer in good operating condition is essential to having a reliable, well-running machine.

For optimum performance, do not place the printer near vents or dust-producing equipment. Particles in the air may enter the printer and cause failures in internal mechanisms.

For best results, clean the outside of the printer with a damp cloth. Power the printer off before cleaning. Do not use detergents.

An EP (electronic printing) cartridge will print approximately 10,000 pages of A4 or 8.5 x 11 paper under average operating conditions (5% image area coverage). The number of prints per cartridge will decrease if you routinely:

Print dense text and graphics.

Set Print Density (in the System Menu) to a dark setting.

Exceed five percent area coverage.

Replace the EP cartridge as soon as you see the following message at the printer’s Control Panel display:

Toner Low

Recycling the EP Cartridge

See Appendix A: Ordering Printer Options for ordering a new EP cartridge.

The LN17 printer EP cartridge can be recycled free of charge to you. Follow the instructions packaged with your new EP cartridge to recycle the old one.
