Developer Initialization - Mita DP-2800 Service Manual

5A2
When the toner container is inserted in the printer properly, slide the toner container release
levers to the left side position until it stops. After installing the toner container, close the top
cover down firmly.

Developer initialization

The printer is shipped from the factory with no toner supplied in its developer unit. When the
printer is first switched on after the toner container is installed in the manner above, there
will be a delay of several minutes before the printer gets ready to print a job.
This delay is necessary for the printer to fill the developer reservoir with a sufficient amount
of toner to continuously support a print job. The period of time for this delay varies depending
on model: approximately 5 minutes.
Since the automatic implementation of the developer initialization is done only once at first
switching power on, if a new developer is installed in the printer, the developer must be
initialized manually using the service mode on the front panel. Refer to the section Feeding
toner into the new developer in chapter 3.
