Maintaining the printer
Periodically, you need to complete certain tasks to maintain optimum print quality. These tasks are covered in this chapter.
If several people are using the printer, you may want to designate a key operator to do the setup and maintenance of your
printer. Refer printing problems and maintenance tasks to this key operator.
Contact the place where you bought the printer for information about authorized supplies dealers in your area.
Storing supplies
Choose a cool, clean storage area for your printer supplies. Store supplies right side up in their original packaging until you
are ready to use them.
Do not expose supplies to:
• Direct sunlight
• Temperatures above 35°C (95°F)
• High humidity (above 80%)
• Salty air
• Corrosive gases
• Heavy dust
Determining the status of supplies
The printer operator panel alerts you once a supply item or maintenance is required. You can also view the status of
supplies in your printer on the operator panel unless the printer is printing or in a busy state. The header or gray area at the
top of the display will indicate the printer is Ready and lets you know if any trays are low. Selecting Status / Supplies on
the display will open the Status / Supplies screen where you can view the status of the various trays and open the
supplies screen to view the current status of your toner cartridge.
