39Maintaining the printer
6Install the new toner cartridge by aligning the white rollers on the toner cartridge with the white arrows on the 
tracks of the photoconductor and pushing the toner cartridge in as far as it will go. The toner cartridge clicks into

Photoconductor kit end-of-life
To ensure print quality and to avoid damage to the printer, the printer stops operating after the photoconductor kit has 
reached a maximum of 110% of its life. The message 84 Replace Photoconductor is displayed when the printer reaches 
this point. If the Toner Alarm setting is set to Single or Continuous (default is Off), the printer automatically notifies you 
before the photoconductor kit reaches this point and displays the message 84 Photoconductor Life Warning. To avoid 
having the printer stop operating, replace the photoconductor kit when you first receive the 84 Photoconductor Life 
Warning message. While the printer may continue to function properly after the photoconductor kit has reached its official 
end-of-life (approximately 30,000 pages), print quality begins to significantly decrease until the photoconductor stops 
operating at the maximum of 110% of its life. Once the photoconductor kit has been replaced, and the counter has been 
reset, normal printer operation resumes. For more information, see the instruction sheet that came with your 
photoconductor kit.
