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
Printer
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.
Replace the EP cartridge as soon as you see the following
message at the printer's Control Panel display:
Toner Low
See Appendix A: Ordering Printer Options for ordering a new
EP cartridge.
The LN17 printer EP cartridge can be recycled free of charge
to you. Follow the instructions packaged with your new EP
cartridge to recycle the old one.
