Cleaning and Maintenance 7-5
Maintenance
Maintenance Kit
The printer uses the Maintenance Kit as part of its self-maintenance routine to coat
the print drum with oil before each print.
A Control Panel message indicates when the maintenance kit is low. Printing is still
possible when the maintenance kit is low. When a Control Panel message indicates
that the maintenance kit is “empty,” the maintenance kit must be replaced before
continued printing is possible. Refer to the installation instructions included with the
maintenance kit.
Note
The maintenance kit fluid, an oil, poses no known adverse health effects. See the
Material Safety Data Sheet at www.xerox.com/office/msds
.
Waste Tray
The waste tray collects ink that has been purged from the printer’s ink jets. A Control
Panel message indicates when the waste tray is full. Refer to the printer’s Phaser 8400
Reference Guide or the Phaser 8500/8550 User’s Guide for instructions on removing
and emptying the waste tray. A Control Panel message displays when the waste tray
needs to be emptied (usually after seven purges). Never reuse waste ink in the printer;
it will damage the printhead.
