Replacing Consumables and Maintenance Parts

If an error message (REPLACE TONER, FUSER UNIT END OF LIFE, etc.) appears, print out the configuration page, and then check the status of the other consumables.
About Toner Cartridges
Your printer uses four toner cartridges: black, yellow, magenta, and cyan. Handle the toner cartridges carefully to avoid spilling toner inside the printer or on yourself.
Note:
When replacing the toner cartridges, install only new cartridges. If a used toner cartridge is installed, the amount of remaining toner may not appear correctly.
Do not open the toner cartridge unnecessarily. If toner is spilled, avoid inhaling it or allowing it to come in contact with your skin.
If toner gets on your hands or clothes, immediately wash them with soap and water.
If toner was inhaled, move to an area with fresh air, and gargle thoroughly with a large quantity of water. If conditions such as coughing appear, seek professional medical attention.
If toner gets in your eyes, immediately flush them with water for at least 15 minutes. If any irritation persists, seek professional medical attention.
If toner gets in your mouth, thoroughly rinse it, and then drink 1 to 2 cups of water. If necessary, seek professional medical attention.
Store toner cartridges out of the reach of children.
Note:
The use of non-genuine toner cartridges may result in unstable performance. In addition, any damage caused by the use of non-genuine toner cartridges is not covered by the warranty, even if it occurs during the warranty period. (Although damage is not certain to result from using non-genuine toner cartridges, we strongly recommend that you use genuine toner cartridges.)

Note:
For optimum print quality and performance, use only the corresponded TYPE genuine Epson toner cartridges.
Keep toner cartridges:
In their packaging until you’re ready to install them.
In a cool, dry location away from sunlight (due to heat).
The maximum storage temperature is 35˚C (95˚F) and the maximum storage humidity is 85% (noncondensing). If the toner cartridge is moved from a cold place to a warm, humid place, condensation may occur, degrading print quality. Allow the toner to adapt to the environment for about one hour before use.
Level during handling and storage.
Do not turn cartridges upside down; the toner inside the cartridges may become caked or unequally distributed.
Away from salty air and corrosive gases such as aerosols.
