Selecting Toner Low Response
Selecting the toner low response allows you to determine how the
printer will behave when the printer detects a toner level is low.
Note The printer uses the toner low response setting as the setting for
TRANSFER KIT LOW REPLACE KIT , FUSER LIFE LOW REPLACE KIT ,
TONER LOW , and DRUM LIFE LOW REPLACE DRUM KIT messages. For
example, if the toner low response is set to STOP , then when the
TRANSFER KIT LOW REPLACE KIT message appears on the printer
control panel the printer will stop printing until the transfer kit is
replaced or
G O is pressed.
To select the toner low response
1 Press M ENU until CONFIGURATION MENU appears on the printer
control panel display.
2 Press I TEM until TONER LOW appears on the display.
3 Press -V ALUE + until the option you want appears on the display.
The available options include the following:
• STOP will take the printer offline. Pressing G O will bring the
printer online and allow printing to continue until the toner
cartridge is empty. When the toner cartridge is empty, the
message
TONER OUT REPLACE will be displayed.
• CONTINUE will display the TONER LOW REPLACE warning
until the toner cartridge is empty.
4 Press S ELECT to save the selection. An asterisk ( * ) appears to the
right of the selection.
5 Press G O to bring the printer online.
Note Although this option allows you to configure the printer behavior when
the consumable lives are low, print quality will eventually degrade
after a consumable's life has reached low, regardless of how you have
configured the printer response. These print quality problems can be
fixed by replacing the consumable.
