Maintaining the Smart Kit ® Print Cartridge
Smart Kit ® Print Cartridge Storage
To get the most from the print cartridge, follow these guidelines:
• Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until you are ready to
install it.
• Do not refill the print cartridge.
The machine warranty does not cover
damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store print cartridges in the same environment as your machine.
• To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for more
than a few minutes.
Expected Cartridge Life
The life of the Smart Kit ® Print Cartridge depends on the amount of toner that
print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5% coverage, a new print
cartridge lasts an average of 3,000 pages. (The original print cartridge
supplied with the machine lasts an average of 1,000 pages.) The actual
number may be different depending on the print density of the page you print.
If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often.
Redistributing Print Cartridge Toner
When the print cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or light printing
may occur. The LCD displays the warning message, “Toner Low”. You can
temporarily recover print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the
cartridge. In some case, white streaks or light printing still occurs even after
you have redistributed the toner.
