Toner Cartridges
Paper Feed Roller
The paper feed roller feeds paper from the paper tray into the printer. Usually, the paper feed
roller needs to be replaced after printing about 100,000 sheets. However, this figure varies
depending on the size and type of paper used. When the paper feed roller deteriorates, paper
may not feed correctly from the paper tray, resulting in paper jams.
NOTE: For more information about the paper feed roller, refer to “Paper Feed Roller” on page 5-21 .
Toner Cartridges
This section describes how to handle, store and replace toner cartridges.
Toner Cartridge Handling Precautions
The printer uses four toner cartridges: black, yellow, magenta, and cyan. The black toner car-
tridge is capable of printing about 8,000 sheets. The yellow, magenta, and cyan cartridges are
capable of printing about 6,000 Letter/A4 sheets (at the default print density, with 5% coverage
per color).
Handling Precautions
• Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean toner. Static electricity could build up and damage
sensors.
• Do not reuse toner cartridges once you have removed them from the printer. Loose toner
could spill inside the printer and deteriorate print quality.
• To prevent residual toner from spilling, avoid shaking or bumping used toner cartridges.
• After moving a toner cartridge from a cold place to a warm place, allow 1 hour for the
cartridge to adapt to room temperature before installing it. (This is not necessary if there
is no condensation.)
• Toner is harmless, but should still be washed off immediately if it comes into contact with
WARNING: Never throw used toner cartridges into a fire. The residual toner could explode
resulting in burns and injuries.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, always turn off the printer and disconnect the power
cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the printer or performing maintenance.
