Replacing Consumables

Installing a New Waste Toner Bottle
1
Remove the new waste toner bottle from its carton.
2
Insert the bottom of the waste toner
bottle
into its installation position
in the printer.
3
Push the top of the waste toner
bottle
into position until it is firmly
seated.
4
Close the printer’s front door.
If the waste toner bottle is not
correctly installed or the transfer belt
release lever is at its top position (11
o’clock), the front door cannot be
closed.
The printer must complete a 150-second calibration cycle after any
consumable has been replaced. If you open the door before the
Ready indicator on the control panel lights up and the Error indica-
tor goes off, the printer stops and repeats the calibration cycle.
Replacing the OPC Drum Cartridge
When the OPC drum cartridge is worn out, the message
Drum Cartridge
End of Life
appears in the Status Display. Printing can continue even after
this message appears; however, since print quality is reduced, the OPC drum
cartridge should be replaced immediately.
The OPC drum cartridge life is directly related to the number of
rotations of the drum. Longest drum life is achieved with continuous
printing. Intermittent printing with small job sizes requires cleaning
rotations before and after each job, and subsequently will impact OPC
life.
You can also access the OPC drum cartridge life status using the Status Dis-
play (refer to “Working with the Status Display” on page 40).
