Replacing Consumables
This category describes how to replace toner cartridges and image drums.
For other consumables, see the Advanced Manual.
• Cautions When Replacing Consumables
• Replacing the Toner Cartridges
• Replacing the Image Drum
• Replacing the Image Drum and Toner Cartridge at the Same Time
Cautions When Replacing Consumables
Observe the following cautions when replacing.
Do not throw the toner or toner cartridge into a fire. The toner scatters,
resulting in burns.
Do not store a toner cartridge in a location where it is exposed to open
flames. The toner may ignite, resulting in fire or burns.
Do not vacuum spilled toner with an electric vacuum cleaner. Vacuuming
spilled toner with an electric vacuum cleaner may result in ignition due to
sparks from electric contacts or other reasons. If toner spills on the floor or
other places, wipe the toner with a damp rag or other cloth.
Some parts inside the machine become very hot. Do not touch the
locations around a "CAUTION HOT" label. Burns may result.
- 77 -
Keep toner cartridges out of the reach of children. If a child accidentally
swallows toner, immediately seek medical advice.
If you inhale toner, gargle with a large amount of water, and move to a
place with fresh air. Seek medical advice if necessary.
If toner lands on your hands or other areas of skin, wash thoroughly with
soap and water.
If toner gets into your eyes, immediately rinse with a large amount of
water. Seek medical advice if necessary.
If you swallow toner, spit it out. Seek medical advice if necessary.
5. Maintenance
Replacing the Toner Cartridges
When the "[COLOR] Toner Low" message ("[COLOR]" indicates C (cyan), M (magenta), Y
(yellow) or K (black)) which appears on the display screen, prepare a replacement toner
cartridge.
When handling a paper jam or replacing toner cartridges, use care not to
let your clothes or hands get dirty with toner. If toner lands on your clothes,
wash with cold water. If toner gets hot by washing with hot water or other
methods, the toner will stain the fabric and become impossible to remove.
Do not disassemble the image drum or toner cartridge. You may inhale the
scattered toner, or the toner may land on your hands or clothes, making
them dirty.
Store used toner cartridges by putting them into a bag while using care not
to scatter the toner.
• Use Oki Data genuine consumables to ensure optimum performance of the products.
• Charges for services for problems caused by the use of consumables other than Oki data genuine consumables are
incurred, regardless of the warranty or in the maintenance contract. (Although the use of non-genuine consumables
does not always result in problems, use extra care when using them.)
When the "[COLOR] Toner Empty" appears and printing stops, replace the toner cartridge.
Even if the cyan (blue), magenta (red) or yellow toner cartridges run out, you can print in black and white by selecting
[Monochrome] or [Grayscale]. However, please replace the toner cartridge quickly after it runs out, as not doing so
may cause the image drum to be damaged.
• Have a new toner cartridge ready, as the print quality declines after more than one year following breaking the seal.
• If you replace the toner cartridge/image drum while it is being used, the toner consumption will not be counted
normally.
• By opening and closing the output tray after the message "[COLOR] toner has run out" is displayed, you are able to
print. Please replace the toner cartridge as failure to do so may damage the image drum.
• Toner powder may spill if you remove a toner cartridge before the toner runs out.
Prepare new toner cartridges.

Replacing the Image Drum
When the "[COLOR] Image Drum Near Life" message appears on the display screen,
prepare a replacement image drum. If you continue printing, the message "[COLOR] Image
Drum Life" will be displayed and printing will stop.
When the "Please install new Image Drum Unit." message is displayed and printing stops,
replace the image drum.
When using A4 paper (simplex printing), the estimated replacement cycle of an image drum
is approximately 30,000 pages. This estimation assumes the standard use condition (three
pages are printed at a time). Printing one page at a time reduces the drum lifetime
approximately by half.
The actual number of printed pages may be less than half the above estimation depending
on the printing conditions.
Please recycle toner cartridges.
13
If you have to dispose of used toner cartridges, put them into polyethylene bags or other container, and be sure to
follow the regulations or instructions of your local government.
• The actual number of pages you can print with the image drum depends on how you use the machine. It may be less
than half the above estimation depending on the printing conditions.
• Printing quality may deteriorate after 1 year following the unpacking of the toner cartridge. Replace the toner cartridge
with a new one.
• Although opening and closing the output tray may extend the life of an image drum for a while, it is recommended to
replace it soon after the "Install New image drum" message is displayed.
• When [Device Setting] > [Admin Setup] > [Management] > [System Setup] > [Near Life Status] on the touch panel is
set to [Disable], the "[COLOR] Image Drum Near Life" message does not appear.
• Use Oki Data genuine consumables to ensure optimum performance of the products.
• Charges for services for problems caused by the use of consumables other than Oki data genuine consumables are
incurred, regardless of the warranty or in the maintenance contract. (Although use of non-genuine consumables does
not always result in problems, use extra care when using them.)
This section describes how to replace the image drum when you want to continue using the
toner cartridge.
• If you use a new image drum with the toner cartridges currently in use, the remaining amount indication of the toner
cartridges will not display correctly. The messages "[COLOR] Image Drum Near Life" or "[COLOR] Image Drum Life"
may also be displayed soon after replacement.
• Use extra care when handling the image drum (the green cylinder), because it is fragile.
• Do not expose the image drum to direct sunlight or strong light (approximately 1,500 lux or more). Even under room
lighting, do not leave the image drum for 5 minutes or more.
- 81 -
You can set when to display the "[COLOR] Image Drum Near Life" message. Press [Device Setting] > [Admin Setup]
> [User Install] > [Drum Near Life Timing] on the touch panel to change the setting. Available values are from 500 to
