Replacing the Imaging Cartridge

The imaging cartridge prints up to 15,000 pages depending upon the complexity of your print jobs.

If your printed images become faint, enter the SelecType Setup Menu and use the Toner function to find out approximately how much toner remains in the imaging cartridge. For instructions, see Setup Menu.

Once the toner level is displayed on the LCD panel, simply count the asterisks between the E (empty) and the F (full). Each asterisk represents about 25% of the total toner capacity. If you see only one asterisk on the LCD panel, prepare a replacement imaging cartridge.

Replace the cartridge with the S051068 imaging cartridge even if the cartridge you remove has a different part number. The S051068 cartridge is specially designed for your high-quality 600-dpi printer.

Follow these steps to replace the imaging cartridge:

Make sure the printer is turned on.

Open the printer cover A.

Warning:

Do not touch the hot areas indicated by the caution labels inside the printer cover.

Remove the imaging cartridge by pulling the handles on the front of the cartridge toward you.

Dispose of the used imaging cartridge as a nonburnable item.

Warning:

Do not dispose of used imaging cartridges in fire, as they can explode and cause injury. Dispose of them according to local regulations.

While holding the new imaging cartridge horizontally, gently shake it a few times to distribute the toner evenly.

Caution:

Do not turn the imaging cartridge upside down.

Do not expose the imaging cartridge to room light any longer than necessary. Overexposing the cartridge may cause abnormally dark or light areas to appear on the printed page and reduce the life of the cartridge.

To release the spring-loaded carrying handles on the sides of the new cartridge, hold down each handle with your hand and remove the tape, then take your hand away slowly.

Warning:

When you remove the tape, the handle may spring up quickly enough to hurt your fingers. To avoid this, hold the handle firmly while peeling off the tape.

Pick up the imaging cartridge by the carrying handles and insert the cartridge all the way into the printer.

Close cover A by pushing it up and into the printer.

Caution:

Never transport the printer with the imaging cartridge installed.
