Printing a cleaning sheet

If you are experiencing blurred, faded, or smeared printouts, you can
clear the problem by printing a cleaning sheet, provided by your printer.
You can print:
• OPC cleaning sheet: cleans the OPC drum of the toner cartridge.
• Fuser cleaning sheet: cleans the fuser unit inside the printer.

This process will produce a page with toner debris, which should be
discarded.

Maintaining the toner cartridge

Toner cartridge storage

To get the most 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 cartridge in the same environment as the printer.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for

more than a few minute.

Expected cartridge yield

The toner cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that print jobs
require. The actual number may also be different depending on the print
density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be
affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and
media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the
cartridge more often.

Saving toner

To save toner, press Toner Save on the control panel. The button
backlight turns on.

Using this feature extends the life of the toner cartridge and reduce your
cost per page, but it also reduces print quality.
