Replacing Toner Cartridges

Your printer uses four toner cartridges: one each for cyan, magenta, yellow and black. If purchasing less than a complete set, ensure you are purchasing the colour you require. This is clearly indicated on the box.

Always use genuine OKI consumables with your printer. These come in the familiar OKI red and white boxes and are designed and manufactured specially for use in OKI printers.

Genuine OKI toner is made from non-toxic materials and is perfectly safe to use, provided you follow a few basic safety rules.

1.When removing old toner cartridges from your printer you will see the toner powder on top of the image drum cartridges. Take care to avoid performing this task in a draft, and do not blow on the powder, as this may cause a toner cloud. If you inhale such a cloud, seek a clean fresh air environment, and take a few deep breaths. If you continue to experience any discomfort seek medical advice.

2.If you spill any toner on your skin or clothes, brush it off. If necessary, rinse in cold water. Do not use hot water, since the application of heat might make the marks permanent.

3.

Do not attempt to clean spilled toner with any solvent or

and cause permanent marking.

When to Change a Toner Cartridge

The printer will display a message when any toner cartridge is within about 100 pages of the end of its life. The display will also indicate which colour is running out. You can normally expect a toner cartridge to produce about 3000 pages at 5% print density (this is a typical density for text pages).

There is no hard and fast rule, since toner life depends very much on image content. Also, when installing a new image drum, the first toner cartridge will run out more quickly, because the drum reservior must fill when new.
