General Information
This chapter describes basic maintenance tasks you can perform for the 
printer. You can replace the toner container according to the printers 
status:
Also, the internal parts need periodic cleaning.
Toner Container Replacement
The Toner indicator  identifies the toner status at two stages of toner 
usage. 
• When the printer becomes low on toner, the  Toner indicator flashes. 
Note the replacement is not always necessary at this stage. 
• If you ignore the above status and continue printing, the  To n e r 
indicator lights up just before the toner is used up. The  toner 
container  must then be replaced immediately.
In either case, replace the toner container. 
Frequency of toner container replacement
Assuming an average toner coverage of 5% and EcoPrint mode turned 
off, the  toner container  will need replacing approximately once every 
7,200 pages (FS-1300D) or 4,000 pages (FS-1100).
Starter Toner Container
The  toner container  packed with the new printer is a starter toner 
container. The  starter toner container  lasts an average of 3,600 pages 
(FS-1300D) or 2,000 pages (FS-1100).
