When to replace the toner container

The printer gives two steps of user attention for toner replacement as explained below:
Step 1—The toner is almost run out. The message display indicates:
Replace Toner ... Clean printer
The printer will print approximately 2,500 pages (A4 or letter/5% coverage) until step 2. This
is the earliest chance to replace the toner container and clean various parts inside the printer
(See Cleaning the printer on page Chapter 3-4).
Step 2—The toner is run out. The printer halts printing and the message display indicates:
Replace Toner ... Clean printer
This instructs the user to install a new toner kit to bring the printer back in normal operation.
Cleaning various parts inside must be also done in this occasion (See Cleaning the printer
on page Chapter 3-4).
Observe the following cautions when replacing the toner container:
• Do not attempt to disassemble the toner container and reuse the waste toner inside.
• Keep magnetic media such as floppy disks away from the toner container.
• Be sure to clean the parts as instructed in this section at the same timing of replacing toner
container.
• Use of the toner kit is highly recommended for the optimum operation of the printer.
