Replacing Supplies

From time to time, you need to replace the following items to maintain top performance and to avoid print quality problems and paper feed problems resulting from worn parts.

The following items should be replaced after you have printed the specified number of pages or when the life span of each item has expired. The SmartPanel program window will appear on the computer, indicating which item needs to be replaced. If you use the CLP-600N, the display on the control panel will also show an error message, indicating which item needs to be replaced. See below.

Maintaining Your Printer

Managing Toner Cartridges

Toner Cartridge Storage

To get the maximum results from a toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind:

•Do not remove toner cartridges from their packages until you are ready to use them.

•Do not refill toner cartridges. The printer warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.

•Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the printer.

•To prevent damage to toner cartridges, do not expose them to light for more than a few minutes.

Toner Cartridge Life Expectancy

The life of a toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that your print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, the toner cartridges last an average of 4,000 pages for black and each color. The starter toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an average of 2,000 pages for black and each color.

Redistributing Toner

When a toner cartridge is low on toner, faded or light areas may appear. It is also 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. The SmartPanel program window appears on the computer telling you which color cartridge is low on toner. Also, if you use the CLP-600N, “Ready [Color] Low Toner” may appear on the display.

The printer is able to continue to print using the current toner cartridge until the SmartPanel program window appears on the computer telling you to replace the cartridge, or the control panel displays that message (CLP-600N only).

You may be able to temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner. When the ‘[Color] Toner Empty’ message appears, printer will stop printing until a new toner cartridge put into the printer.
