Replacing the
EP Cartridge
Maintaining the printer in good operating condition is
essential to having a reliable, well-running machine.
For optimum performance, do not place the printer near vents
or dust-producing equipment. Particles in the air may enter
the printer and cause failures in internal mechanisms.
For best results, clean the outside of the printer with a damp
cloth. Power the printer off before cleaning. Do not use
detergents.
An EP (electronic printing) cartridge will print approximately
10,000 pages of A4 or 8.5 x 11 paper under average operating
conditions (5% image area coverage). The number of prints
per cartridge will decrease if you routinely:
• Print dense text and graphics.
• Set Print Density (in the System Menu) to a dark setting.
• Exceed five percent area coverage.
You may increase the number of prints per cartridge by
setting Print Quality to Toner Saving. The printer
automatically reduces the amount of toner used (and prints a
lower density output). See Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel
for instructions on changing Control Panel settings.
Replace the EP cartridge when you see the following
message at the printer's Control Panel display:
Toner Low
Although you can print for a short time after this message first
appears, to ensure optimum print quality you should replace
the EP cartridge as soon as possible.
See Appendix A: Ordering Printer Options for ordering a new
EP cartridge.
