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.

Expected cartridge life

The life of the toner cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual number may also be different depending on the print density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often.

Redistributing toner

When a toner is low, faded or light areas may appear. 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 toner-related message saying that the toner is low may appear on the display.

1.Using the handle, completely open the front cover.

2.Grasp the handles on the toner cartridge and pull to remove four cartridges 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 four toner cartridges 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.

REPLACING THE TONER CARTRIDGE

The machine uses four colors and has a different toner cartridge for each one: yellow (Y), magenta (M), cyan (C), and black (K).

The status LED and the toner-related message on the display indicates which each individual toner cartridge should be replaced.

For the CLX-3170FN/CLX-3175FN/CLX-3175FW, incoming faxes are

saved in memory.

At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. Check the type of toner cartridge for your machine. (See "" on page 85.)

1.Turn the machine off, then wait a few minutes for the machine to cool.

2.Using the handle, completely open the front cover.
