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.

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 Replace Toner xxxx message appears.

LCD Panel Message	Description
Worn Photoconductor	The photoconductor unit has reached the end of its service life.
Worn Fuser	The fuser unit has reached the end of its service life.
Worn Transfer Unit	The transfer unit is near the end of its service life.

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 xxxx*	The indicated toner cartridges are empty.
Replace Photocondctr	Printing has stopped to avoid damage to the engine.
Replace Transfer Unit	The transfer unit has reached the end of its service life.

* 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.
