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.

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. 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.

•

The SmartPanel program window appears on the computer telling you

which cartridge is low on toner.

Completely open the front cover.

Grasp the handles on the toner cartridge and pull to remove the

cartridge from the machine.

Holding both handles on the toner cartridge, thoroughly rock it from side

to side to evenly distribute the toner.

Slide the toner cartridge back into the machine.

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

•

Do not touch the green surface, the OPC drum or the front of the

toner cartridge, with your hands or any other material. Use the

handle on each cartridge in order to avoid touching this area.

•

Be careful not to scratch the surface of the paper transfer belt.

•

If you leave the front cover open for more than a few minutes, the

OPC drum can be exposed to light. This will cause damage to the

OPC drum. Close the front cover should the installation need to

be halted for any reason.

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.

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

operate.
