Consumable Replacement Messages
When you see the following messages in the LCD screen or in

The CX11N stops printing if the worn consumable might damage the

If a consumable product reaches the end of its service life, the
product stops printing and displays the following messages on
the LCD screen or in the EPSON Status Monitor 3 window.

color of the empty toner cartridge.

continue to print for a short time by pressing the
x B&W Start or

LCD screen changes from Replace Photocondctr to Worn

replacing a part, check the LCD screen for replacement
messages for other parts.
Replacing a Toner Cartridge
When a toner cartridge is empty, a message appears on the
LCD screen indicating which toner cartridge needs to be
replaced. If you are going to print a large document or make a
large number of copies and one of the toner cartridges is low,
you can change that cartridge so you won’t run out of toner in
the middle of the job. See:
❏ “Changing a Low Toner Cartridge” (next column)
❏ “Removing and Replacing a Toner Cartridge” on page 12
Handling Precautions
Always follow these precautions when replacing a toner
cartridge:
❏ Install a genuine Epson toner cartridge. Using a non-Epson
toner cartridge may affect print quality. Other products
may cause damage to your printer not covered by Epson’s
warranty.
❏ When handling toner cartridges, always place them on a
clean smooth surface.
❏ If you move a toner cartridge from a cool to a warm
environment, wait for at least one hour before installing it
to prevent damage from condensation.
Warning:
Do not touch the toner and keep it away from your eyes. If toner gets
on your skin or clothes, wash it off with soap and water immediately.
❏ Keep toner cartridges out of the reach of children.
❏ Do not dispose of toner cartridges in fire, as they may explode
and cause injury. Dispose of them according to local
regulations.
❏ If toner spills, use a broom and dustpan or a damp cloth with
soap and water to clean it up. Because the fine particles can
cause a fire or explosion if they come into contact with a
spark, do not use a vacuum cleaner.
