Maintaining the Toner Cartridge
Toner cartridge storage
To get the maximum results from the toner cartridge, keep the 
following guidelines in mind.
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until 
ready for use. 
• Do not refill the toner cartridge. 
The printer warranty does 
not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the 
printer.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to 
light for more than few minute.
Toner cartridge life expectancy
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner 
that print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, a 
new toner cartridge lasts an average of 3,000 pages. (The 
original toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an 
average of 1,000 pages.)
Saving toner
To save toner, press the   button on the printer control 
panel. The   LED will be lit. You can also enable the Toner 
Save mode in the printer properties. For details, see
 Software 
User Guide
. Selecting this option will extend the life of the 
toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but will reduce 
the print quality.

Redistributing Toner
When toner is low, faded or light areas may appear on a printed 
page. You may be able to temporarily improve the print quality 
by redistributing the toner. The following procedures may allow 
you to finish the current print job before replacing the toner 
cartridge.
1Open the front cover. 
2Pull the toner cartridge out and remove it from the printer.
Cautions: 
• Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The fusing area may be 
hot.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to 
light for more than few minutes.
• Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the 
handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

3Gently shake the toner cartridge from side to side five or six 
times to redistribute the toner.  
Note: If the toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry 
cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into 
fabric.
4Reinsert the toner cartridge into the printer. Ensure that the 
toner cartridge snaps into place.
5Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely 
closed. If it is not fir
mly closed, printing errors may occur 
when you print.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge
If the print remains light after redistributing toner (see 
page 4.3), replace the toner cartridge. 
Remove the old cartridge and install a new toner cartridge. See 
“Installing the Toner Cartridge” on page 2.4. 
Using the Toner Save Mode
The Toner Save mode allows the printer to use less toner on 
each page. Selecting this option will extend the life of your toner 
cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but will reduce print 
quality. 
There are two ways to enable the Toner Save mode:
From the Control Panel
Press the   button on the control panel. The printer must 
be in Ready mode (  green LED is on).
• If the   LED is on, the mode is enabled and the printer 
uses less toner to print a page.
• If the   LED is off, the mode is disabled and the printer 
prints in the normal mode.
From the Printer Properties
You can also enable the Toner Save mode in the Graphic tab of 
the printer properties. For details, see
 Software User Guide.

Cleaning the Printer
To maintain the print quality, follow the cleaning procedures 
below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality 
problems occur.
Note: While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to 
touch the transfer roller (located underneath the toner cartridge). 
Oil from your fingers can cause print quality problems.
Caution: Cleaning the cabinet of the printer with surfactants 
containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent or other strong 
substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.
Cleaning the Outside
Wipe the outside surface of the printer with a soft, clean, lint-
free cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be 
careful not to let any water drip onto the printer or inside of it.
Cleaning the Inside
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can 
accumulate inside the printer. This buildup can cause print 
quality problems, such as toner specs or smearing. Cleaning the 
inside of the printer will eliminate or reduce these problems.
Cleaning inside the printer
1Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord, then wait 
for the printer to cool.
2Open the front cover.

3Pull the toner cartridge out and remove it from the printer..
4With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled 
toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge 
cavity.
Note: To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it 
to light for more than few minute. Cover it with a piece of paper, if 
necessary. Also, do not touch the black transfer roller inside the 
printer. 
5Locate the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the 
cartridge compartment, and gently swab the glass to see if 
dirt turns the white cotton black.
