Checking the Status of Consumables

You can check the status of your installed printer consumables at any time.
From the Machine
When your toner cartridge is low on toner, the Machine Status light will blink red to let you know it is
time to order a new Xerox toner cartridge. When the cartridge is empty and needs to be replaced, the
light will be solid red. When the drum cartridge needs to be replaced, the Machine Status light will be
red. For each of these conditions, the user interface will also display an error message indicating the
cartridge status.

when the Drum Cartridge needs to be replaced.
