REPLACING THE IMAGING UNIT
When the life span of the imaging unit has expired, the Smart Panel

needs to be replaced. Otherwise your machine stops printing.

2. Using the handle, completely open the front cover.
3. Grasp the handles on the toner cartridge and pull to remove four
cartridges from the machine.
4. Pull the waste toner container out of the machine using its handle.
5. Pull the imaging unit out of the machine using the groove on the front of
the imaging unit.
6. Take a new imaging unit out of its package. Remove the protective
devices on both sides of the imaging unit and the paper protecting the
surface of the imaging unit.

to the machine.
• Don’t use sharp objects, such as a knife or scissors, to open the
imaging unit package. You could damage the surface of the
