Toner Container Replacement
The toner container in the printer should be replaced as soon as the 
message display shows Toner is running out. or soon after. (The 
[C][M][Y][K] displayed alternately with the message indicates the 
toner color that needs replacing.) If you continue to use the printer,

stop printing and the Replace the toner. [Toner Color] Clean 
the Printer. message will be shown instructing you to install a new 
toner kit.
Frequency of Toner Container Replacement
The life of the toner containers depends on the amount of toner required 
to accomplish your printing jobs. According to ISO/IEC 19798 and 
EcoPrint switched off the toner container can print as follows (Color 
adjustment and other adjustments during A4 continuous printing are 
excluded.):
Note  Information Collection on Memory Chips - The memory 
chip attached to the toner container is designed to improve 
convenience for the end user; to support the recycling operation 
of empty toner containers; and to gather information to support 
new product planning and development. The information 
gathered is anonymous - it cannot be associated to any specific 
individual and the data is intended to be used anonymously.

Black 25,000 images
Cyan 18,000 images
Magenta 18,000 images
Yellow 18,000 images
Note  The toner container packed with the new printer has to fill 
up the system when operating the first time. Therefore only 50% 
of the first toner kits can be used for printing. For example:

and black.

Replacing the Toner Container
This section explains how to replace the toner containers. When 
replacing the toner container of any color, always replace the waste toner 
box at the same time. If this box is full, the printer may be damaged or 
contaminated by the waste toner that may spill over the box. 
IMPORTANT  During toner container replacement, temporarily move 
storage media and computer supplies (such as floppy disks and USB 
memories) away from the toner container. This is to avoid damaging 
media by the magnetism of toner.
Always clean the inside of the printer after replacing the toner 
container. For details, refer to Cleaning the Printer on page 5-8.
Kyocera Mita Corporation is not liable against any damages or 
problems arising from the use of toner containers other than those 
designated as original Kyocera Mita toner containers. For optimum 
performance, it is also recommended to use only the Kyocera Mita 
toner containers which are specifically intended for use in your 
country or region. If the toner container for another destinations is 
installed, the printer will stop printing.
To replace the toner container, first make sure of the color of the toner 
container requiring replacement. In this example, it is assumed that you 
are replacing the black toner container.
1Open the front cover.
Note  Do not remove the toner container from the carton until you 
are ready to install it in the printer.
CAUTION  Do not attempt to incinerate the Toner 
Container. Dangerous sparks may cause burns.
Note  You do not have to turn printer power off before starting the 
replacement. Any data that may be processing in the printer will 
be deleted if you turn the printer power off.
