Toner Container Replacement

The life of the toner containers depends on the amount
of toner required to accomplish your printing jobs.
When 5% coverage (a typical business document) of
individual toner colors is assumed for A4 or letter size,

the average life of each toner container is as follows†:

TK-82K Black 25,000 pages

TK-82C Cyan 10,000 images

TK-82M Magenta 10,000 images

TK-82Y Yellow 10,000 images

Replace the toner container when the printer displays,
for example:

Toner low TK-82C

This is the first caution. Note the replacement is not
always necessary at this stage. Replace the toner con­tainer immediately when the printer displays:

Replacing the Toner Container

You do not have to turn printer power off before
starting the replacement. Any data that may be

Note

under printing process will be deleted if you turn
printer power off.

To replace the toner container, first make sure of the
color of the toner container requiring replacement
according to the message display. In this example, it is
assumed that you are replacing the black toner con­tainer. To replace the other color toner container, use
the same procedure.

Black (K)

Yellow (Y)
Magenta (M)

Cyan (C)

25

1

While pressing
down the blue­colored lever at
the end of the
toner container,
pull the toner con­tainer out.

2

Take the new
toner container
out of the toner
kit. Hold the con­tainer and shake
the container
back and forth at
least 5 times.

3

Insert the new
toner container all
the way in. The

3

container is
locked automati­cally when it is
properly seated.

26

4

Put the old toner
container in the
plastic waste bag
(contained in the
toner kit) and dis­card it.

When the toner container has been replaced, proceed
to the next section.

Replacing the Waste Toner Bottle

Replace the waste toner bottle each time you replace
the toner container. A new waste toner bottle is
included with the toner kit. The printer will not operate
without replacing the waste toner bottle.

Pull the paper feed unit all the way out.

1

Tilt to the right the
lever on the right­hand side of the
bottle and remove
the bottle. Do not
place the
removed bottle
upside down.

27

2

The old waste
toner bottle has a
cap. Remove the
cap (black) on the
top of the bottle
and put the cap
onto the opening.
This is to prevent
the toner from
spilling.

Put the old waste
toner bottle in the
plastic waste bag
(contained in the
toner kit) and dis­card it.

Insert the new
waste toner bot­tle (contained in
the toner kit)
upright until it
snaps into place.

Caution

28

Do not put the lid on the opening of a new waste
toner bottle. This could cause damage to the
printer.

Cleaning the Printer

The following parts must be cleaned each time the
toner container is replaced:

• Registration roller

•Belts

• Separation charger

• Main charger wire

• Main charger grid

These parts are explained in the following sections. In
addition to this, it is recommended that these three
parts are cleaned periodically at least once a month.

Cleaning the Paper Feed Unit

Print problems such as soiling of the reverse side of
printed pages may occur if the paper feed unit becomes
dirty. To clean the paper feed unit:

Open the front cover. Pull the paper feed unit out by its
handle.

36

Clean the metal
roller as shown
(the registration
roller) using the
cleaning cloth
(included in the
toner kit).

Registration Roller

Note

Belts

Clean the belts
using the cleaning
cloth.

Secondary Transfer

Roller (See Note below.)

2

Be careful not to touch the black sponge roller
(the secondary transfer roller) during cleaning
as this may adversely affect print quality.

37

Gently pull the
green cleaning
knob out and
push it back in.
Repeat this 5 to 7
times. This cleans
the separation
charger inside.

3

Cleaning the Main Charger Unit

The main charger unit needs to be cleaned periodically
as it gets contaminated with dioxide after a long usage,
causing black streaks, etc. on the paper. The main
charger is comprised of two main parts — the wire and
the grid — which should be cleaned separately as
instructed below:

38

1

Cleaning the
