Replacing the developer unit
In case that the developer unit is to be removed from the printer for shipment or replacing
to a new one, it should be handled following the instructions below.
Also, a new developer unit, after installing, needs a special treatment that replenishes the
developer with toner for printing. This can be done by using the front control panel (See
section Feeding toner into the new developer on page Chapter 3-11).
Replacement
To replace the developer unit currently installed in the printer, first turn the printer power off.
Open the toner container access door. Refer to section Toner container replacement on
page Chapter 3-3 and remove the toner container. Open the front cover. Locate the
developer unit release lever 1 and turn it clockwise to the upper position. Grasp the
developer's front end as shown below and slowly draw the developer 2 out from the printer.

Caution: If you ship the developer unit removed from the printer for repair, etc., pack the
developer in the container package designed for this purpose.
