Replacing the Cartridges

This section describes how to remove used cartridges and replace them with new
ones.
IMPORTANT
If printout becomes faint or inconsistent, the reason may be that the lifetime of the toner
cartridge has been reached even when a message does not appear. Do not continue to
use the toner cartridge when there is a deterioration in the print quality.
NOTE
The lifetime of toner cartridges for this machine is indicated as follows. The number of
pages is based on printing a typical document (with a printing ratio of approximately 5 %
and print density set to default).
- Black (EP-87 Toner Cartridge Black): Approx. 5,000 pages for printing paper in size of
A4 or Letter.
- Yellow, magenta, cyan (EP-87 Toner Cartridge Yellow, EP-87 Toner Cartridge Magenta,
EP-87 Toner Cartridge Cyan): Approx. 4,000 pages for printing paper in size of A4 or
Letter.
Before handling the cartridge, see the precautions in "Storing Toner Cartridges," on p.
8-14.

Replacing the Toner Cartridges

When <PREPARE NEW CART> and then <REPLACE CARTRIDGE> appears in
the LCD, replace the toner cartridge of the indicated color with a new toner
cartridge.
Indicates either "C", "M", "Y", or "K".
WARNING
Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause
the toner remaining inside the cartridges to ignite resulting in burns or a fire.
CAUTION
If toner gets onto your hands or clothing, wash it off immediately with cold
water. Do not use warm water as this may set the toner permanently, and you
may not be able to remove the toner stains.

Use only toner cartridges intended for use with this machine.
