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.
Saving toner
To save toner, press the Toner Save button on the control 
panel; see page 2.24. The button backlight turns on. Using this 
feature extends the life of the toner cartridge and reduces your 
cost per page, but it also reduces print quality. 
Expected Cartridge Life
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner 
that print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5% 
coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 3,500 or 
5,000 pages. (The original toner cartridge supplied with the 
machine lasts an average of 3,500 pages.) The actual number 
may be different depending on the print density of the page you 
print. 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. The LCD displays the warning message, 
“Toner Low.” You can temporarily reestablish print quality by 
redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge.
1Open the front door.
2Pull the toner cartridge out and gently shake the cartridge 
5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the 
cartridge.
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.
CAUTION: Do not touch the green underside of the toner 
cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this 
area. 
3Reinstall the cartridge and close the front door.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge
When the display on the control panel shows the warning 
message, “[Toner Empty],” the machine stops printing. At this 
stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. 
1Open the front door.
2Lightly pushing the used cartridge down, pull it out.
3Unpack the new toner cartridge and gently shake it 
horizontally 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly 
inside the cartridge.
Save the box and the plastic bag for shipping.

Setting the Notify Toner Option

is preset by your dealer when you bought your machine. 
If machine was purchased directly from XEROX, then there will
