Ordering supplies

Note: All life estimates for printer supplies assume printing on letter or A4 size plain paper.

Print cartridges

When the 88.yy <color> cartridge low message appears or when you experience faded print, remove the print
cartridge. Firmly shake it side-to-side and front-to-back several times to redistribute the toner, then reinsert it and continue
printing. Repeat this procedure multiple times until the print remains faded. When the print remains faded replace the print
cartridge. Have a new cartridge available when the current one no longer prints satisfactorily.
The initial toner cartridges shipped with your printer will only operate in the printer those cartriges shipped with. Attempting
to use these initial toner cartridges in any other printer, even if it is the same model, may result in a cartridge incompatibility
failure message.

Toner waste container

When an 82 Waste toner box nearly full message appears on the display, you should order a new toner waste
container.

Fuser and ITU

Refer to the part number listed on the fuser or ITU for the appropriate reordering number for these items.
