Maintaining the cartridge

print cartridge storage

To get the most from the print cartridge, keep the following guidelines in
mind:
• Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until ready for use.
• Do not refill the print cartridge. The machine warranty does not cover
damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store print cartridges in the same environment as your machine.
• To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for
more than a few minutes.

Expected cartridge life

The life of the print cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that
print jobs require. The actual number may also be different depending on
the print density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may
be affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and
media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the
cartridge more often.

Redistributing toner

When a toner is low, faded or light areas may appear. It is possible that
colored images may be printed with incorrect colors due to flawed mixing
of toner colors when one of the colored print cartridges is low on toner.
You can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner.
• The toner-related message saying that the toner is low may appear on
the display.
• The SmartPanel program window appears on the computer telling you
which color cartridge is low on toner.
1 Using the handle, completely open the front cover.
Caution
• Do not touch the green surface, the OPC drum or the front of
the print cartridge, with your hands or any other material. Use
the handle on each cartridge in order to avoid touching this
area.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the paper transfer
belt.
• If you leave the front cover open for more than a few minutes,
the OPC drum can be exposed to light. This will cause
damage to the OPC drum. Close the front cover should the
installation need to be halted for any reason.
2 Grasp the handles on the print cartridge and pull to remove the
cartridge from the machine.
3 Holding both handles on the print cartridge, thoroughly rock it from
side to side to redistribute the toner.
Note
If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry
cloth and wash it in cold water. Hot water sets toner into
fabric.
