This chapter describes how to replace the TD cartridge and drum cartridge.
TD CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
The TD cartridge replacement required ( ) indicator will light up when toner is
needed. For more information on purchasing the TD cartridge, see "ABOUT
SUPPLIES AND OPTIONS" (p.70). If copying is continued while the indicator is lit,
copies will gradually become lighter until the unit stops and the indicator begins
blinking. Replace the old TD cartridge by following the procedure below.
1
Open the multi-bypass tray (AL-1555), side cover, and front
cover, in that order.
To open the multi-bypass tray, see "The multi-bypass tray (AL-1555)"
(p.17). To open the side cover and front cover, see "INSTALLING THE TD
CARTRIDGE" (p.10).
2
Gently pull the TD cartridge out
while pressing the lock release
button.
3
Install a new TD cartridge. To install the new cartridge, see
"INSTALLING THE TD CARTRIDGE" (p.10).
Be sure to use only genuine SHARP parts and supplies.
• After the unit stops, it may be possible to make a few more copies by
taking the TD cartridge out of the unit, shaking it horizontally, then
reinstalling it. If copying is not possible after this operation, replace the
TD cartridge.
• During long copy run of a dark original, the start ( ) indicator may
blink, the indicator light up, and the unit stop, even though toner is left.
The unit will feed toner up to 2 minutes and then the start ( )
indicator will light up. Press the start ( ) key to restart copying.
In order to help preserve the global environment, we recycle used TD
cartridges. Please read "COPIER TONER CARTRIDGE RECYCLING",
which is enclosed in the new toner cartridge package.
