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-800K Black 25,000 pages
TK-800C Cyan 10,000 images
TK-800M Magenta 10,000 images
TK-800Y Yellow 10,000 images
Replace the toner container when the printer displays,
for example:
Toner low

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

These parts are explained in the following sections. In
addition to this, it is recommended that these parts are
cleaned periodically at least once a month.
Cleaning the Paper Transfer Unit
Print problems such as soiling of the reverse side of
printed pages may occur if the paper transfer unit
becomes dirty. To clean the paper transfer unit:
Open the front cover. Pull the paper transfer unit out by
