Troubleshooting and
Routine Care
Replacing the print and ink cartridge
Replace the print cartridge when:
—you have been using the cartridge for over one year,
—the printing is not crisp and there are gaps in the characters (missing dots) even after you have cleaned the
print head at least five times,
—you want to switch from high-speed monochrome printing to color printing (or vice versa),
—the KX-FA150 black print cartridge runs out of ink, or
—the print head of the KX-FA151 color print cartridge is damaged (or after printing approximately 2,000
pages).
If you are using the KX-FA151 color print cartridge and your output is blank, one of the ink cartridges is
probably out of ink. Replace an ink cartridge. See page 57.
Note:
¡Refer to the operating instructions for fax on the print cartridge guideline.
Replacing the print cartridge
1
Make sure the unit is turned on.
2
Slide the front lid open lever towards you to open
the front lid.
¡The unit will beep and the cartridge holder will move
to the center. Do not touch the cartridge holder.
¡If the cartridge holder does not move to the center,
the cartridge may be overheated. Close the lid and
leave it to cool down.
3
Lift the green lock lever on the cartridge holder.
4
Slide the print cartridge out of the holder.
¡Hold the print cartridge on the sides only. Do not
touch the silver metal plate on the cartridge near the
print head. This plate may become very hot during
printing.
