Maintenance

When the printer becomes low on toner, for example in the cyan container, the printer displays the message Toner low C, M, Y, K as the first caution. Note the replacement is not always necessary at this stage.

If you ignore the above message and continue printing, the printer displays the message Replace toner — just before the toner is used up. The toner container must be replaced immediately. Clean the separate charger wires, etc. After the cleaning is finished, however, the message does not automatically change to Ready. To restart printing, you must press [GO] and make the printer ready.

In either case, replace the toner container, see Toner Container

Replacing the Toner Container

This section explains how to replace the toner containers. When replacing the toner container of any color, always replace the waste toner box at the same time. If this box is full, the printer may be damaged or contaminated by the waste toner that may spill over the box.

NOTE: During toner container replacement, temporarily put storage media and computer supplies (such as floppy disks) away from around the toner container. This is to avoid damaging media by the magnetism of toner.

IMPORTANT: You do not have to turn printer power off before starting the replacement. Any data that may be under printing process in the printer will be deleted if you turn printer power off.

To replace the toner container, first make sure of the color of the toner container requiring replacement. In this example, it is assumed that you are replacing the black toner container.
