General Information
This chapter describes basic maintenance tasks you can perform on the 
printer. You can replace the following component according to the 
printer’s display:
• Toner Kits
• Waste Toner Box
Also, the following parts need periodic cleaning:
• Paper Transfer Unit
Toner Container Replacement
The toner container in the printer should be replaced as soon as the 
message display shows  Toner  low or soon after.  If you continue to use 
the printer, eventually the toner supply will be exhausted at which point 
the printer will stop printing and the  Replace  toner C,M,Y,K  message 
will be shown instructing you to install a new toner kit.
Frequency of T oner Container Replacement
The life of the toner containers depends on the amount of toner required 
to accomplish your printing jobs. According to ISO/IEC 19798 and 
EcoPrint switched off the toner container can print as follows (A4/Letter 
paper is assumed):
Toner Kits
For best results, we recommend that you only use genuine Kyocera Parts 
and Su pplies. 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.
The toner kits are supplied in 4 different colors: cyan, magenta, yellow 
and black.
Note  Information 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.
Toner ColorLife of the T oner Container (Printable pages)
Black 12,000 images
Cyan 10,000 images
Magenta 10,000 images
Yellow 10,000 images
Note  The toner container packed with the new printer has to fill 
up the system when operating the first time. Therefore only 50% 
of the first toner kits can be used for printing.  (For example: FS-
C5350DN can print 6,000 monochrome images using the black  starter toner container).

							Maintenance 3-3• Waste Toner Box
• Installation GuideUnderstanding Messages Requesting Toner Container 
ReplacementThe printer displays messages for individual colors at two stages of toner 
usage. This message is automatically alternated with the other printer 
message (such as Ready):
• When the printer becomes low on toner, for example in the cyan 
container, the printer displays the message Toner low C as the first 
caution. Note the replacement is not always necessary at this stage. 
• If you ignore the above message and continue printing, the printer 
displays the message Replace toner — just before the toner is 
used up. The toner container must be replaced immediately. Clean 
the separate charger wires, etc. After the cleaning is finished, 
however, the message does not automatically change to Ready. To 
restart printing, you must press [GO] and make the printer ready.
In either case, replace the toner container, refer to Toner Container 
Replacement on page 3-2.Note  Do not remove the toner container from the carton until you 
are ready to install it in the printer. A new toner kit for each color contains the following items:
• Toner Container
• Plastic waste bags for old toner container and old waste toner boxDownloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals 
						

							3-4Maintenance 
Replacing the Toner Container
This section explains how to replace the toner containers. When 
replacing the toner container of any color, always replace the waste toner 
box at the same time. If this box is full, the printer may be damaged or 
contaminated by the waste toner that may spill over the box. 
IMPORTANT  During toner container replacement, temporarily move 
storage media and computer supplies (such as floppy disks) away 
from the toner container. This is to avoid damaging media by the 
magnetism of toner.
IMPORTANT  Kyocera Mita Corporation is not liable against any 
damages or problems arising from the use of toner containers other 
than those designated as original Kyocera toner containers. For 
optimum performance, it is also recommended to use only the 
Kyocera toner containers which are  specifically intended for use in 
your country or region. If the toner container for another destinations 
is installed, the printer will stop printing.
To replace the toner container, first make sure of the color of the toner 
container requiring replacement. In this example, it is assumed that you 
are replacing the yellow toner container.
1Open the top cover (top tray).
2Carefully remove the old toner container from the printer.
CAUTION   Do not attempt to incinerate the Toner 
Container. Dangerous sparks may cause burns.
Note  You do not have to turn printer power off before starting the 
replacement. Any data that may be processing in the printer will 
be deleted if you turn the printer power off.
