Technical information
Regular maintenance
The toner cartridge holds the toner powder that forms the printed images.
Each cartridge should yield about 14,000 pages. If you print many graphic
images, you may need to change cartridges more often. If your pages start to
look too light, or if you see vertical white regions in dark images, it may be
time to change the cartridge.
For ordering information, see “Options and Accessories” in Appendix D.
Replacing the toner cartridge
Whenever you install a new toner cartridge, you should also clean the interior
of the printer. To replace the toner cartridge, follow the instructions in
“Installing the Toner Cartridge” in Chapter 1.
Cleaning the exterior
Unplug the power cord and then wipe the exterior of the printer with a clean,
soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap or detergent if necessary, but
never use
an ammonia-based cleaner. Be careful not to get any liquid in the power
cord port.
WARNING
Never use ammonia-based cleaners on or around the printer.
They may react chemically with the toner and with the printer’s
plastic case.
WARNING
Use only toner cartridges designed for use with your printer.
Other cartridges will not fit and may damage the printer.
