• Avoid getting toner on your clothes or skin when removing a paper jam or replacing toner. If your
skin comes into contact with toner, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water.
• If toner gets on your clothing, wash with cold water. Hot water will set the toner into the fabric and
may make removing the stain impossible.
• Do not expose the toner cartridge to light for a long time. Do not leave the front cover open for a long
time. If the toner cartridge is exposed to a light for a long time, the toner cartridge might get damaged
and print quality might be reduced. Replace the toner cartridge immediately.
• The toner cartridge packaged with the printer can print up to 6,000 pages when it is compliant with
ISO/IEC 19752 and the image density is set as the factory default. ISO/IEC 19752 is an international
standard on measurement of printable pages, set by the International Organization for
Standardization.
• When handling toner cartridges, never stand them up on either end or position them upside down.
• Store toner cartridges in a cool dark place.
• Do not use chemical cleaner or organic solvent such as thinner or benzine.
• Actual printable numbers vary depending on image volume and density, number of pages printed at
a time, paper type and size, and environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. Toner
quality degrades over time. You may have to replace the toner cartridge prematurely. We recommend
you prepare a new toner cartridge beforehand.
• The new toner cartridge can print up to 20,000 pages.
• The life span of pages the toner cartridge can print vary depending on the depletion of toner and the
cartridge parts. The actual number of pages you can print from a particular toner cartridge depends
on the paper type, size, orientation, the contents of your print images, number of printout from a print
job, and printing environment conditions. Toner cartridges may need to be changed sooner than
indicated above due to deterioration over the period of use.
• If the following problems occur even with toner still remaining, the fusing part of the toner cartridge
is deteriorated over the period of use. Prepare a new toner cartridge.
• Areas of printout are missing.
• The print out image is missing or partially blurred.
• White streaks appear.
• The whole printout is blemished.
• Images are blurred.
