Maintenance

7-4 Phaser 340 Color Printer

Maintenance tray

The printer uses the maintenance tray as part of its self-maintenance routine to
coat the print drum with silicone oil before each print. The maintenance tray
must be replaced after about 5,000 prints. A front panel message indicates when
the maintenance tray oil is low. Printing is still possible when the maintenance
tray fluid is low. When a front panel message indicates the maintenance tray is
"out of oil," the maintenance tray must be replaced before continued printing is
possible. Refer to Chapter 4, "Caring for Your Printer," in the Phaser 340 User
Manua l for instructions on replacing the maintenance tray.
Note Once the maintenance tray has been partially used, it leaks drum fluid
if tipped. Never ship a partially used maintenance tray. Contact with
the drum fluid, a food-grade silicon oil, poses no known adverse health
effects. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet for silicone oil in
Appendix D of the Phaser 340 User Manual for more information.

Waste tray

The maintenance tray contains a waste tray that collects ink that has been
purged from the printer's ink jets. The waste tray should be emptied each time
the maintenance tray is removed from the printer. Refer to Chapter 4, "Caring
for Your Printer," in the Phaser 340 User Manual for instructions on removing and
emptying the waste tray. Be sure to insert the waste tray into the maintenance
tray before reinstalling the maintenance tray in the printer.
