Replacing Supplies

From time to time, you need to replace the following items to
maintain top performance and to avoid print quality problems
and paper feed problems resulting from worn parts.
The following items should be replaced after you have printed
the specified number of pages or when the life span of each
item has expired. The SmartPanel program window will appear
on the computer, indicating which item needs to be replaced. If
you use the CLP-600N, the display on the control panel will also
show an error message, indicating which item needs to be
replaced. See below.

Maintaining Your Printer

Managing Toner Cartridges

Toner Cartridge Storage

To get the maximum results from a toner cartridge, keep the
following guidelines in mind:
• Do not remove toner cartridges from their packages until
you are ready to use them.
• Do not refill toner cartridges. The printer warranty does
not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the
printer.
• To prevent damage to toner cartridges, do not expose them
to light for more than a few minutes.

Toner Cartridge Life Expectancy

The life of a toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner
that your print jobs require. When printing text at 5%
coverage, the toner cartridges last an average of 4,000 pages
for black and each color. The starter toner cartridge supplied
with the printer lasts an average of 2,000 pages for black and
each color.

Redistributing Toner

When a toner cartridge is low on toner, faded or light areas may
appear. It is also possible that colored images may be printed
with incorrect colors due to flawed mixing of toner colors when
one of the colored toner cartridges is low on toner. The
SmartPanel program window appears on the computer telling
you which color cartridge is low on toner. Also, if you use the
CLP-600N, "Ready [Color] Low Toner" may appear on the
display.
The printer is able to continue to print using the current toner
cartridge until the SmartPanel program window appears on the
computer telling you to replace the cartridge, or the control
panel displays that message (CLP-600N only).
You may be able to temporarily improve print quality by
redistributing the toner. When the '[Color] Toner Empty' message
appears, printer will stop printing until a new toner cartridge put
into the printer.
