MAINTAINING THE CARTRIDGE

Toner cartridge storage

To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind:

Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for use.

Do not refill the toner cartridge. The machine warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.

Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your machine.

To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes.

Estimated Cartridge Life

Expected Cartridge Life (the life of the toner cartridge yield) depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual print-out number may vary depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating environment, printing interval, media type, and/or media size. For example, if you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the toner is high and you may need to change the cartridge more often. In the Specifications, we already mentioned estimated cartridge life indicates the average capacity of print-outs. (See "Specifications" on page 51.)

Redistributing toner

It is possible that colored images may be printed with incorrect colors due to flawed mixing of toner colors when one of the colored toner cartridges is low on toner. You can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner.

The SmartPanel program window appears on the computer telling you which color cartridge is low on toner.

1.Press the release button, completely open the front cover.

2.Grasp the handles on the toner cartridge and pull to remove the cartridge from the machine.

3.Holding both handles on the toner cartridge, thoroughly rock it from side to side to evenly distribute the toner.

If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry

cloth and wash it in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

4.Slide the toner cartridge back into the machine.

5.Close the front cover. Make sure the cover is securely latched.

If the front cover is not completely closed, the machine will not operate.
