Setup & Maintenance / Replacing Consumable Products

Replacement Messages

When you see the following messages on the LCD panel or the window of EPSON Status Monitor 3, replace the appropriate consumable products. You can continue to print for a short time after a message appears, but Epson recommends early replacement to maintain print quality and extend the life of your printer.

LCD Panel Message	Description
Worn Photoconductor	The photoconductor unit is near the end of its service life.
Worn Fuser	The fuser unit has reached the end of its service life. Contact your dealer.
Worn uuuu Dev Unit	The developer unit has reached the end of its service life. Contact your dealer.

Note:

To clear the warning, select Clear All Warning from the control panel's Reset Menu.

If a consumable product reaches the end of its service life, the printer stops printing and displays the following messages on the LCD panel or the window of EPSON Status Monitor 3. When this happens, the printer cannot resume printing until you replace the depleted consumable products.

LCD Panel Message	Description
Replace Toner uuuu*	The indicated toner cartridge is empty.
Replace Photocondctr	Printing has stopped to avoid damage to the engine.

* The letters C, M, Y, and K appear in this position, indicating the color of the toner to be replaced. For example, the message Y Toner Low means that the amount of toner remaining in the yellow toner cartridge is low.

Note:

Messages appear for one consumable product at a time. After replacing a consumable product, check the LCD panel for replacement messages for other consumable products.

Even if Replace Photocondctr is displayed on the LCD panel, you can continue to print for a short time by pressing the Start/Stop button on the control panel. The message on the LCD panel changes from Replace Photocondctr to Worn Photoconductor.

Note:

Print quality cannot be guaranteed when printing with a worn consumable product. If print quality is not what you expected, replace the consumable product.

The printer stops printing if printing with a worn consumable product might damage the printer. If the printer stops printing, replace the consumable product.
