General Information
This chapter describes basic maintenance tasks you can perform for the 
printer. You can replace the toner container according to the printers 
display.
Also, the internal parts need periodic cleaning.
Toner Container Replacement
The message identifies the toner status at two stages of toner usage. 
•When the printer becomes low on toner, the message 
Toner low is 
displayed. Note the replacement is not always necessary at this 
stage. 
•If you ignore the above status and continue printing, the message 
Replace toner Clean printer is displayed 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
According to ISO/IEC 19798 and EcoPrint switched off the toner 
container can print 7.200 pages.
You can print a status page to check how much toner remains in the 
toner container. The Toner Gauge in the consumables status section on 
the status page shows a progress bar, which roughly represents how 
much toner is left in the toner container.
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.

For best results, we recommend that you only use genuine Kyocera 
Parts and Supplies.Should any damage be caused by the application of 
a toner other than the original Kyocera Mita toner, then this damage is 
excluded from the guarantee.
