Cartridge detecting function: This function checks if the toner cartridge is correctly installed and notifies you if it is not.
Toner remaining check function: This function notifies you when there is little toner remaining in the cartridge, as well as notifying your authorized service representative automatically by remote service.
Image quality optimization function: This function controls image quality according to the characteristics of the toner to be used and enables you to print images of an optimal quality.
If you are using a toner cartridge other than the one we recommend, the equipment may not be able to detect whether it is installed or not. Therefore, even if the toner cartridge is correctly installed, the error message “TONER NOT RECOGNIZED” appears on the touch panel and printing may not be performed. You may also not be able to utilize the image quality optimization function, the toner remaining check function, and the remote service function which notifies your service representative automatically.
If you are using a toner cartridge other than the one we recommend and find the cartridge detection function inconvenient, please contact your service representative. The cartridge detecting function set by default can be canceled. Remember once this function has been canceled, you will not be able to utilize the three functions mentioned above even if you change the cartridge to the one we recommend.
