Performing preventive maintenance
The MFP requires periodic maintenance to maintain optimum performance. A control-panel message
alerts you when it is time to purchase the preventive maintenance kits. Separate maintenance
procedures are required for the printer-portion of the MFP and for the ADF.
Printer preventive maintenance
You should replace certain parts when the PERFORM PRINTER MAINTENANCE message appears
on the control-panel display.
After printing 215,000 pages, the MFP alerts you to order a maintenance kit. The message can be
temporarily cleared for approximately 10,000 pages by using the CLEAR MAINTENANCE
MESSAGE item on the RESETS submenu. When the page count reaches 225,000, you can no
longer clear the message and you must install the maintenance kit. To check the number of pages
that the MFP has printed since new maintenance-kit components were installed, print either a
configuration page or a supplies-status page.
The printer maintenance kit includes the following items:
■ Fuser
■ Rollers (transfer, feed, and separation)
■ Installation instructions
For the installation procedures, see chapter 6.
NOTE The printer maintenance kit is a consumable item and is not covered under the
original MFP warranty or under most extended warranties.
After a maintenance kit is installed, the maintenance-kit counter must be reset.
To reset the maintenance-kit counter
1 Turn the MFP off and then on.
2 When the memory count appears on the control-panel display, press and hold 6 until all three
LEDs flash once and then stay on. (This might take up to 20 seconds.)
3 Release 6 and then press 3.
4 Press 6 to select NEW MAINTENANCE KIT.
5 The MFP completes its initialization sequence. The maintenance-kit counter is automatically reset.
NOTE Perform this procedure only after a maintenance kit has been installed. Do not use
this procedure to temporarily clear the PERFORM PRINTER MAINTENANCE message.
