6 With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from
the toner cartridges area and their cavities.
Note
If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry
cloth and wash it in cold water. Hot water sets toner into
fabric.
7 Reinstall all the compartments into the machine, and close the front
door.
Maintaining the cartridge
toner cartridge storage
To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in
mind:
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for use.
• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The machine warranty does not cover
damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your machine.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for
more than a few minutes.
Expected cartridge life
The life of the toner cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that
print jobs require. The actual number may also be different depending on
the print density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may
be affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and
media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the
cartridge more often.
Redistributing toner
When a toner is low, faded or light areas may appear. It is possible that
colored images may be printed with incorrect colors due to flawed mixing
of toner colors when one of the colored toner cartridges is low on toner.
You can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner.
• The toner-related message saying that the toner is low may appear on
the display.
• The SmartPanel program window appears on the computer telling you
which color cartridge is low on toner.
1 Using the handle, completely open the front cover.
Caution
• Do not touch the green surface, the OPC drum or the front of
the toner cartridge, with your hands or any other material.
Use the handle on each cartridge in order to avoid touching
this area.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the paper transfer
belt.
• If you leave the front cover open for more than a few minutes,
the OPC drum can be exposed to light. This will cause
damage to the OPC drum. Close the front cover should the
installation need to be halted for any reason.
