Maintenance

This printer is designed to provide years of trouble-free service without the necessity of
printer module replacement. However, you must replace the toner container in the
printer with a replacement container from a new toner kit. Also, to ensure good print
quality, various parts inside the printer must be cleaned at regular intervals.

Toner kit replacement interval
The life of the toner container will vary according to the density of print in your documents.
If you print documents with an actual toner coverage of approximately 5% (A4 or letter size,
landscape feed and with the Ecoprint mode* turned off), the toner container will need
replacing approximately once every 10,000** pages (A4 or letter size, 20,000 pages with the
TK-20H.)
* Turning the Ecoprint mode ON conserves toner. Refer to Chapter 2 for details.
** In the case of a new printer in which a toner kit has been installed for the first time, the number of
pages that can be printed will be 5,000 or less.
