Cleaning your machine
To maintain print and scan quality, follow the cleaning procedures below 
each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print and scan quality 
problems occur.
Cleaning the outside
Clean the cabinet of the machine with a soft lint-free cloth. You can 
dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water 
drip onto or into the machine.
Cleaning the inside
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can 
accumulate inside the machine. This buildup can cause print quality 
problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the 
machine clears or reduces these problems.
1
Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the 
machine to cool down.
2 Open the front cover and pull the imaging unit out of the machine 
using the handle on its bottom .
Caution
• Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials 
containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong 
substances can discolor or distort the cabinet.

Cleaning the scan unit
Keeping the scan unit clean helps ensure the best possible copies. We 
suggest that you clean the scan unit at the start of each day and during 
the day, as needed.

2 Open the scanner lid.
3 Wipe the surface of the scanner glass and ADF glass until it is 
clean and dry.
4 Wipe the underside of the scanner lid and white sheet until it is 
clean and dry.

Maintaining the toner cartridge
Toner cartridge storage
To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in 
mind:
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for 
use. 
• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The machine warranty does not cover  damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your machine.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for  more than a few minutes.

Expected cartridge life
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print 
jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, a new toner cartridge 
lasts an average of 2,000 pages for black and white printing and 1,000 
pages for each color printing. However, the toner cartridge that is 
shipped with the printer prints 1,500 pages for black and white, 700 
pages for colors.
The actual number may also be different depending on the print density 
of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be affected by 
operating environment, printing interval, media type, and media size. If 
you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more 
often.
Redistributing toner
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
• White streaks or light printing occurs. 
•Toner Low  appears on the display.
•The  Status  LED blinks red. 
If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish print quality by 
redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white 
streaks or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed 
the toner.
1 Open the front cover.
2 Pull the corresponding toner cartridge out.
3 Holding the toner cartridge, thoroughly roll it 5 or 6 times to 
distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.

4 Grasp the toner cartridge and align it with the corresponding slot 
inside the machine. Insert it back into its slot until it clicks into place.
5 Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.
Replacing the toner cartridge
The machine uses four colors and has a different toner cartridge for each 
one: yellow (Y), magenta (M), cyan (C), and black (K).
When the toner cartridge is completely empty:
•Toner Empty  appears on the display. 
•The  Status  LED lights red. 
• The machine stops printing. For the CLX-3160FN, incoming faxes are  saved in memory. 
At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. For order 
information for toner cartridges, see page 12.1.
1 Turn the machine off, then wait a few minutes for the machine to 
cool.
2 Open the front cover.
Note
• If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth 
and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into 
fabric.
3 Pull the corresponding toner cartridge out.
4 Take a new toner cartridge out of its package.
5 Holding the toner cartridge, thoroughly roll it 5 or 6 times to 
distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.
