Replacing The Waste Toner Box - Kyocera FS-1900 Service Manual

(5) Replacing the waste toner box

Note that the printer has a sensor to monitor the presence of the waste toner box. The printer does
not operate without a waste toner box installed.
For the reference, the waste toner box can hold up to 100 g of waste toner. The nominal amount of
waste toner derived after 10,000 pages of printing is 20 to 30 g (Letter or A4 size paper; average
print coverage of 5 %). After a prolonged amount of printing low density (coverage) data, the
"check waste toner bottle" message may be displayed earlier than the "replace toner clean printer"
message.
Open the side cover. While holding old the waste toner box 1, press the lock lever 2 in the right
ward direction. Then gently pull out the waste toner box 1. Close the cap 3 of waste toner box 1
after removing from the printer. To avoid toner spilling, place the capped waste toner box 1 in the
plastic bag 4 supplied before forwarding to proper disposal.
Locate the new waste toner box in the toner kit, and install it in the printer according to section 2-
2-2 Installing the waste toner box on page 2-8.
