4.1. Toner Kit Replacement

Chapter 4

Maintenance

This printer is designed to provide years of trouble-free service without the necessity of printer module replacement. However, you must replace the toner container in the printer with a replacement container from a new toner kit. Also, to ensure good print quality, various parts inside the printer must be cleaned at regular intervals.

4.1. Toner Kit Replacement

The toner container in the printer should be replaced as soon as the message display shows Toner low TK-20 Clean printer or soon after. If you continue to use the printer, eventually the toner supply will be exhausted at which point the printer will stop printing and the Replace Toner Clean printer message will be shown instructing you to install a new toner kit.

Toner kit replacement interval

The life of the toner container will vary according to the density of print in your documents. If you print documents with an actual toner coverage of approximately 5% (with the Ecoprint mode* turned off), the toner container will need replacing approximately once every 10,000** pages (20,000 pages with the TK-20H).

*Turning the Ecoprint mode ON conserves toner. Refer to Chapter 2 for details.

**In the case of a new printer in which a toner kit has been installed for the first time, the number of pages that can be printed will be 6,000.

Toner Kit to be Used

The toner kit to be used with this printer is the TK-20/TK-20H. It contains the following:

pToner container

pWaste toner bottle

pWiper (lint-free) cloth

pGrid cleaner

p2 plastic bags (for disposal of the old toner container and waste toner bottle)

pInstructions

(The initial toner kit that comes with the printer does not include plastic bags for disposal.)

*We strongly recommend you use only the original Kyocera toner kit. Use of original Kyocera toner assures the intended long term reliability of the printer.
