supply is low or needs replacement.

Toner

Low

When a toner cartridge has only enough toner left to print approximately 250 pages, the
printer identifies the cartridge in the Supplies Menu (for example, Magenta Toner). When the
toner cartridge is completely empty, the printer ceases operation. See page 93 or page 108
for more information.

PC Drum

Life Warning
Exhausted

Like the toner cartridge, each of the color photoconductors requires periodic replacement.
When a photoconductor (or PC Drum) is nearing the end of its life or needs replacing, the
printer displays an item such as Magenta PC Drum in the Supplies Menu.

You must replace all three color photoconductors (magenta, cyan, and yellow) at the same
time. When you replace the black photoconductor, you must also replace the fuser
coating roll.

See page 94 or page 108 for more information.

Your printer can detect if a tray is missing, low on paper (less than 50 sheets), or empty. The
Supplies Menu lists any of the installed trays (tray 1, tray 2, or tray 3) that meets any of these
three conditions.
