Replacing Consumable Products/Maintenance Parts
Precautions During Replacement
Always observe the following handling precautions when replacing consumable products or
maintenance parts:
For details about replacement, see the instructions that come with the consumable products or
maintenance parts.
w
Warning:
❏Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked CAUTION, or the surrounding areas. If the
printer has been in use, the fuser and surrounding areas may be very hot.
❏Do not dispose of used consumable products or maintenance parts in fire, as they may explode
and cause injury. Dispose of them according to local regulations.
❏Provide enough space for the replacement procedure. You will have to open some parts (such as
the printer cover) of the printer when you are replacing consumable products or maintenance
parts.
❏Do not install the consumable products or maintenance parts that reach end of service life into the
printer.
For details about the handling precautions, see “Handling consumable products and maintenance
parts” on page 15.
Replacement Messages
If a consumable product or maintenance part reaches the end of its service life, the printer displays the
following lights on the panel or the window of EPSON Status Monitor. When this happens, replace the
depleted consumable product or maintenance part.
Note that the toner cartridge supplied with your printer is partly used during the initial setup,
therefore the cartridge prints fewer pages compared to subsequent toner cartridges.

							Light pattern Description
Replace Toner
Explanation:
The toner cartridge has reached the end of its service life and need to be replaced.
When the Error light turns on, you cannot continue printing. Replace the toner cartridge with a
new one. See “Replacing Consumable Products/Maintenance Parts” on page 68 for instructions.
Replace Maintenance Unit
Explanation:
The maintenance unit has reached the end of its service life and need to be replaced. 
When the Error light turns on, you cannot continue printing. Replace the maintenance unit with
a new one. See “Replacing Consumable Products/Maintenance Parts” on page 68 for
instructions.
Note:
Error Lights appear for one replacement product at a time. After replacing a replacement product, check
the lights on the panel for other replacement products.
❏The toner cartridge is not an independent unit that you install directly into the printer. The
cartridge needs to be inserted into the developer unit’s casing and then installed into the printer.
w
Warning:
❏Do not touch the toner. Always keep toner away from your eyes. If toner gets on your skin or
clothes, wash it off with soap and water immediately.
❏Keep consumable products and maintenance parts out of the reach of children.
❏Do not dispose of used consumable products or maintenance parts in fire, as they may explode
and cause injury. Dispose of them according to local regulations.
❏If toner is spilled, use a broom and dustpan or a damp cloth with soap and water to clean it up.
Because the fine particles can cause a fire or explosion if they come into contact with a spark, do
not use a vacuum cleaner.
❏Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked CAUTION, or surrounding areas. If the
printer has been in use, the fuser and the surrounding areas may be very hot. If you must touch
one of these areas, wait 30 minutes to allow the heat subside before doing so.
