Maintaining the printer
Photoconductor kit end-of-life
To ensure print quality and to avoid damage to the printer, the printer stops operating after the photoconductor kit has
reached approximately 60,000 pages (Letter/A4). The message 84 Replace PC Unit is displayed when the printer
reaches this point. If the Toner Alarm setting is set to Single or Continuous (default is Off), the printer automatically notifies
you before the photoconductor reaches this point and displays the message 84 PC Unit Life Warning. To avoid having
the printer stop operating, replace the photoconductor kit when you first receive the 84 PC Unit Life Warning message.
Once the photoconductor kit has been replaced, normal printer operation resumes.
Conserving supplies
Several settings in your application software or on the display let you conserve toner and paper. For more information on
changing these settings, see the Menus and Messages Guide.
