The Toner Cartridge
Most of your printer maintenance is centered around
one easily replaceable part—the toner cartridge
(NEC part # 20-110). Your toner cartridge can print
about 10,000 pages of text. When the cartridge runs low
on toner, the printer operator panel displays the
message
to indicate that it is time to
LOW ON TONER
redistribute the toner or replace the cartridge. Each time
you replace the toner cartridge, you should also clean
the fuser unit area. Maintenance tasks are described
beginning on the next page. First, review this
information about handling and storing toner
cartridges.
Handling the Toner Cartridge
Follow these guidelines for handling the toner cartridge
•
Do not stand the toner cartridge on end or with the

Do not expose the toner cartridge to any light for
longer than 5 minutes. To protect it from light
