Replacing the Toner Cartridge
This section describes how to replace or handle the toner cartridge and the
precautions for storage.
IMPORTANT
The product code of the toner cartridge is indicated on the location shown in the figure.
Purchase a toner cartridge of the same product code when you need it.
NOTE
With the toner cartridge for this printer, up to approx. 2500 sheets of paper (A4) can be
printed. This number of sheets is calculated assuming that a typical document (with a
printing ratio of approximately 5 % and print density set to default) is printed. The toner
consumption differs depending on document contents. As a document with few blanks,
such as graphics, consumes toner much, if you often print this type of documents, the life
of the toner cartridge is shortened.
Before Replacing the Toner Cartridge
A toner cartridge is a consumable product. If there is not sufficient toner, white
streaks may appear and the print may be too thin or uneven in lengthwise direction
of paper. In this case, follow the procedure below before replacing the toner
cartridge. You may be able to print for a while until toner runs out completely.
CAUTION
Take care not to allow the toner to come into contact with your hands or
clothing, as this will dirty your hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash
them immediately with cold water. Washing with warm water will set the toner
and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.
