Your system needs little maintenance to keep it producing quality prints. Besides adding ink,
you will eventually need to replace the maintenance kit. Order an extra maintenance kit
(standard capacity or extended capacity) when the control panel displays a warning that the
maintenance kit is nearing the end of its life. You must replace the kit when the control panel
displays an error message to replace the maintenance kit.
To view the life remaining and installation date of the maintenance kit:
1. On the control panel, press the System Setup button.
2. In the menu, select Information, then press the Enter button.
3. Select Supplies Info, then press the Enter button.
4. Select Maintenance Kit Life, then press the Enter button.

Adding Ink
You can load ink any time the system is idle, or when the control panel displays the Ink low or
Add Ink message.
Videos are available with instructions for adding ink. Videos are located on the
User Documentation CD-ROM and at www.xerox.com/office/c2424support
Note
To minimize waste ink and optimize performance, leave the printer on all the time.
■ Keep ink in its packaging until you are ready to use it.
■ Identify ink by shape, not color.
■ To avoid ink jams, never insert broken ink sticks into the ink-loading bins.
