General Information
This chapter describes basic maintenance tasks you can perform for the
printer. You can replace the following components according to the
printer’s status:
• Toner Containers
• Waste Toner Box
Also, the internal parts need periodic cleaning.
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.
Maintenance
OPERATION GUIDE 4-3
Toner Container Replacement
Frequency of toner container replacement
The life of the toner containers depends on the amount of toner required to
accomplish your printing jobs. When 5% coverage (a typical business
document) of individual toner colors is assumed for A4 or letter size paper:
• Black toner containers last an average of 5,000 monochrome pages.
• The cyan, magenta, and yellow toner containers last an average of
4,000 or 2,000 color images.
You can print a status page to check how much toner remains in the toner
container. The Toner Gauge in the consumables status section on the
status page shows a progress bar, which roughly represents how much
toner is left in the toner container.
Starter Toner Container
The toner containers packed with new printer are starter toner containers.
The black starter toner container lasts an average of 2,000 monochrome
pages. The cyan, magenta, and yellow starter toner containers last an
average of 2,000 color images for each.
Toner Kits
It is strongly recommended that you use the new toner kit supplied from the
manufacturer to prevent printer problems and ensure a long printer life.
The toner kits are supplied in 4 different colors: cyan, magenta, yellow and
black.
A new toner kit contains the following items:
• Toner Container
• Cleaning cloth
• Three plastic waste bags for old toner container and old waste toner
box
• Waste toner box
• Installation Guide
NOTE: Do not remove the toner container from the carton until you are
ready to install it in the printer.
Understanding Indicators Requesting Toner Container Replacement
The toner indicator identifies the toner status at two stages of toner usage.
• When the printer becomes low on toner, the toner indicator flashes.
Note the replacement is not always necessary at this stage.
Maintenance
4-4 OPERATION GUIDE
• If you ignore the above status and continue printing, the indicator lights
up — just before the toner is used up. The toner container must then
be replaced immediately.
In either case, replace the toner container, refer to Toner Container
Replacement on page 4-3.
Replacing the Toner Container
NOTE: During toner container replacement, temporarily move storage
media and computer supplies (such as floppy disks) away from the toner
container. This is to avoid damaging media by the magnetism of toner.
This section explains how to replace the toner container. When replacing
the toner container, 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 out of the box.
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 printer the power off.
To replace the toner container, first verify the color of the toner container
requiring replacement. The following example is for replacing a black toner
container.
1Open the front cover.

Replacing the Waste Toner Box
When replacing the toner container, the used waste toner box in the printer
should also be replaced with the new one from the new toner kit. The two
waste toner boxes are included with the black toner kit. The printer will not
operate without replacing the waste toner box.
1Open the left cover.
2Gently remove the waste toner
box.
NOTE: Remove the waste
toner box as gently as possible
so as not to scatter the toner

Prolonged Non-Use and Moving the Printer
Prolonged Non-use
If you ever leave the printer unused for a long period of time, remove the
power cord from the wall outlet.
We recommend you consult with your dealer about the additional actions
you should take to avoid possible damage that may occur when the printer
is used next time.
Moving the Printer
When you move the printer:
• Move it gently.
• Keep it as level as possible to avoid spilling toner inside the printer.
• Attach a stopper to the left side
of the printer with fixing tape as
shown on the right. The
stopper is attached near the
waste toner box after
unpacking the printer.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to consult a service technician before attempting

Clearing Paper Jams
If paper jams in the paper transport system, or no paper sheets are fed at
all, the printer automatically goes offline, and the attention indicator will
flash rapidly. KM-NET for Clients or COMMAND CENTER can indicate the
location of the paper jam (the component where the paper jam has
occurred). Remove the paper jam. After removing the paper jam, the
printer will resume printing.
Possible Paper Jam Locations

General considerations for clearing jams
Bear in mind the following considerations when attempting paper jam
removal:
CAUTION: When pulling the paper, pull it gently so as not to tear it. Torn
pieces of paper are difficult to remove and may be easily overlooked,
deterring the paper jam recovery.
• If paper jams occur frequently, try using a different type of paper,
replace the paper with paper from another ream, or flip the paper stack
over. The printer may have problems if paper jams recur after the
paper is replaced.
• Whether or not the jammed pages are reproduced normally after
printing is resumed, depends on the location of the paper jam.
