Replacing the Print Cartridge

Store print cartridge in a cool dark place.

Actual printable numbers vary depending on image volume and density, number of pages printed at a time, paper type and size, and environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. Toner quality degrades over time. Early replacement of the print cartridge might be necessary. Therefore, we recommend you always keep a new print cartridge ready.

For good print quality, the manufacturer recommends that you use genuine toner from the manufacturer.

The manufacturer shall not be responsible for any damage or expense that might result from the use of parts other than genuine parts from the manufacturer with your office products.

If you try to print while the message "Replacement Required: Toner Cartridge (XX)" is being displayed, another message "Continue printing?" may appear. If this happens, you can print a few pages by pressing [Yes], although the print quality may be lower. Replace the toner as soon as possible. If the message "Continue printing?" does not appear, replace the toner immediately.
