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
Assuming an average toner coverage of 5 % and EcoPrint mode turned 
off, the toner container will need replacing approximately once every 
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 2,300 pages.
To n e r  K i ts
For best results, we recommend that you only use genuine Kyocera 
Parts and Supplies.
A new toner kit contains the following items:
•Toner Container
•Plastic waste bag for old toner container
•Installation Guide
NoteInformation Collection on Memory Chips - The memory chip 
attached to the toner container is designed to improve 
convenience for the end user; to support the recycling operation of 
empty toner containers; and to gather information to support new 
product planning and development. The information gathered is 
anonymous - it cannot be associated to any specific individual and 
the data is intended to be used anonymously. 
NoteDo not remove the toner container from the carton until you 
are ready to install it in the printer.
