How to / Replacing Consumable Products

Replacement Messages

When you see the following messages on the LCD panel, or when notified by the EPSON Status Monitor 3, it is time to replace the indicated 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.

*  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:

Do not replace the toner cartridge when the XXXX Toner Low message appears. Toner remaining in the toner cartridge may spill out if you remove the toner cartridge to replace it. Replace the toner cartridge when the XXXX Toner Out message appears.

If you replace the toner cartridge before the XXXX Toner Out message appears, it is not detected as a new toner cartridge and the XXXX Toner Low warning may not be cleared.

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

If you continue to use the printer without replacing consumable products and a consumable product reaches the end of its service life, the printer stops printing, EPSON Status Monitor 3 notifies you of a change in printer status, and the following messages appear on the LCD panel. When this happens, the printer cannot resume printing until you replace the depleted consumable products.

*  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.
