6.1 Replacing the Drum/Toner Cartridge
The drum/toner cartridge includes the toner and the photosensitive drum. When it is about
time to replace the drum/toner cartridge, the following message will appear on the control
panel.
Note
• The possible number of pages that can be printed with the drum/toner cartridge is the number of pages
printed continuously at a print ratio of 5% using A4 size paper.
• The possible number of pages that can be printed differs according to factors such as the print contents,
paper size, paper type, environment used, and the frequency of switching on/off the power of the
machine.
• If you continue to print with a drum/toner cartridge whose replacement is long overdue, it may affect the
functions of this machine, such as the print quality. It is recommended to install a new drum/toner
cartridge.
• You can set whether to stop printing when the drum/toner cartridge is due for replacement. For details,
refer to “System Settings” (P. 74).
