MAINTAINING THE CARTRIDGE Print cartridge storage To get the most from the print cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind: • Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until ready for use. • Do not refill the print cartridge. The machine warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge. • Store print cartridges in the same environment as your machine. • To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Expected cartridge life The life of the print cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5% coverage, a new print cartridge lasts an average of 2,000 or 4,000 pages. 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. 1. Completely open the front cover. 2. Grasp the handles on the print cartridge and pull to remove the cartridge from the machine. 3. Holding both handles on the print 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 the print cartridge back into the machine. • Do not touch the green surface, the OPC drum or the front of the print 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. 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. 64 _Maintenance
