The LaserPrinter 4111 does not require much care and maintenance. How-

ever, it is important to perform a few cleaning tasks to maintain your printer

in good condition. This chapter will explains procedures for replacing the

EP-L cartridge, handling the EP-L cartridge and printer, and cleaning the

printer.

7.1 REPLACING THE EP-L CARTRIDGE

Replace the EP-L cartridge in the following cases:

l If print quality is still low, even after you have redistributed the toner by

removing the cartridge and rocking it gently from end to end about five or

six times.

l If transparency films show stain problem at either the top or bottom of the

films.

NOTE: For directions on replacing the EP-L cartridge, refer to “2.2 Install-

ing the EP-L cartridge”.

7.2 STORAGE AND HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR THE EP-L CARTRIDGE

The EP-L cartridge contains both the photosensitive drum and toner used for

printing. Since the drum is extremely sensitive to the light, it may be

permanently damaged if it is exposed to the direct sunlight or strong light.

Caked or unevenly distributed toner may result in poor print quality.

Therefore, always observe the following rules:

l Always keep the EP-L cartridge in the aluminum bag in which it was

originally packed. And do not open the bag until you are ready to install

it in the printer.
