Supplies Menu

The Supplies Menu provides information about printer

supplies that require attention. It is only available when a

supply is low or needs replacement.

You can view the Supplies Menu when the printer is idle

or when the printer is busy processing or printing a job.

Toner

Low

When a toner cartridge has only enough toner left to print approximately 250 pages, the

printer identifies the cartridge in the Supplies Menu (for example, Magenta Toner). When the

toner cartridge is completely empty, the printer ceases operation. See page 93 or page 108

for more information.

color

PC Drum

Life Warning

Exhausted

Like the toner cartridge, each of the color photoconductors requires periodic replacement.

When a photoconductor (or PC Drum) is nearing the end of its life or needs replacing, the

printer displays an item such as Magenta PC Drum in the Supplies Menu.

You must replace all three color photoconductors (magenta, cyan, and yellow) at the same

time. When you replace the black photoconductor, you must also replace the fuser

coating roll.

See page 94 or page 108 for more information.

Status

Missing

Low

Empty

Your printer can detect if a tray is missing, low on paper (less than 50 sheets), or empty. The

Supplies Menu lists any of the installed trays (tray 1, tray 2, or tray 3) that meets any of these

three conditions.
