Replacing the Toner
Cartridges
This section describes how to handle, store and replace toner cartridges. It
is necessary to replace a Toner Cartridge only when the printer stops print-
ing and has the error led lit together with a mesage requesting to change
the toner.
8.1.1 Toner Cartridge Handling Precautions
The printer uses four toner cartridges: black, yellow, magenta, and cyan.
The black toner cartridge is capable of printing about 9,000 A4 pages. The
yellow, magenta, and cyan cartridges are capable of printing about 6,000
A4 pages (at the default print density, with 5% coverage per color).
Never throw used toner cartridges into a fire. The residual
toner could explode resulting in burns and injuries.
Handling Precautions
• Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean toner. Static electricity could build
up and damage sensors.
• Do not reuse toner cartridges once you have removed them from the
printer. Loose toner could spill inside the printer and deteriorate print
quality.
• To prevent residual toner from spilling, avoid shaking or bumping used
toner cartridges.
• After moving a toner cartridge from a cold place to a warm place, allow 1
hour for the cartridge to adapt to room temperature before installing it.
(This is not necessary if there is no condensation.)
• Toner is harmless, but should still be washed off immediately if it comes
into contact with hands or clothing.
• Only use toner cartridges recommended by Tally. Using toner cartridges
that are not recommended may result in lower print quality and unsatis-
factory printer performance.
• Wrap used toner cartridges in plastic bags and dispose of them as non-
burnable waste.
• When handling toner cartridges, take care not to damage the projection
(the same color as the cartridge) at the bottom of the cartridge.
Storage Precautions
• Store toner cartridges away from direct sunlight under the following con-
ditions:
Ambient temperature range, 0 to 35°C. Humidity range 15 to 80% RH (no
condensation).
• Avoid hot and humid areas.
• Avoid storing near magnetic objects such as CRT screens, disk drives, or
floppy disks.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not stand toner cartridges on their ends.
