Maintaining the printer

Periodically, certain tasks are required to maintain optimum print quality.

Cleaning the exterior of the printer

1Make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged from the wall outlet.

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: To avoid the risk of electric shock when cleaning the exterior of the printer,

unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and disconnect all cables to the printer before proceeding.

2Remove paper from the standard exit bin.

3Dampen a clean, lint-free cloth with water.

Warning—Potential Damage: Do not use household cleaners or detergents, as they may damage the finish of the

printer.

4Wipe only the outside of the printer, making sure to include the standard exit bin.

Warning—Potential Damage: Using a damp cloth to clean the interior may cause damage to your printer.

5Make sure the paper support and standard exit bin are dry before beginning a new print job.

Storing supplies

Choose a cool, clean storage area for the printer supplies. Store supplies right side up in their original packing until you

are ready to use them.

Do not expose supplies to:

•Direct sunlight

•Temperatures above 35°C (95°F)

•High humidity above 80%

•Salty air

•Corrosive gases

•Heavy dust

Conserving supplies

There are some settings you can change from the printer control panel that will help you conserve toner and paper.

For more information, see “Supplies menu,” “Quality menu,” and “Finishing menu.”

If you need to print several copies, you can conserve supplies by printing the first copy and checking it for accuracy

before printing the remaining copies.

Maintaining the printer

Checking the status of supplies

A message appears on the display when a replacement supply item is needed or when maintenance is required.

Checking the status of supplies from the printer control panel

1Make sure the printer is on and Ready appears.

2From the printer control panel, press the up or down arrow button until Status/Supplies appears, and then

press .

3Press the up or down arrow button until View supplies appears, and then press .

The status of each supply appears.

Checking the status of supplies from a network computer

Note: The computer must be connected to the same network as the printer.

1Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser.

Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, print a network setup page and locate the IP address in the

TCP/IP section.

2Click Device Status. The Device Status page appears, displaying a summary of supply levels.

Part name Part number For printer

Toner Cartridge W850H21G W850

Photoconductor Kit W850H22G W850

Maintenance kit (low voltage) 40X0956 W850

Maintenance kit (high voltage) 40X0957 W850

Maintenance kit (100 volt) 40X0958 W850

Staple Cartridge 25A0013 W850

Ordering a toner cartridge

When 88 Cartridge low appears, order a new cartridge.

Maintaining the printer

When 88 Replace Cartridge appears, you must replace the cartridge.

Estimated cartridge yield is based on the ISO/IEC 19798 standard (with about 5% coverage per color). Extremely low

print coverage (less than 1.25%) for extended periods of time may negatively affect actual yield and may cause cartridge

parts to fail prior to exhaustion of toner.

Ordering a photoconductor kit

When 84 Replace photoconductor or 84 Photoconductor low appears, order a new photoconductor kit.

Ordering a maintenance kit

When 80 Routine maintenance needed appears, order a maintenance kit. The maintenance kit contains all

the items necessary to replace the pick rollers, transfer roller, and fuser.

Note: Using certain types of paper may require more frequent replacement of the maintenance kit. The pick rollers,

transfer roller, and fuser can also be individually ordered and replaced as necessary.

Ordering staple cartridges

When Staples Low or Staples Empty appears, order the specified staple cartridge.

For more information, see the illustrations inside the stapler door.

Replacing supplies

Replacing the toner cartridge

When 88 Cartridge low, 88.yy Replace cartridge, or 88 Replace cartridge to continue

appears, or when print becomes faded:

1Turn the printer off.

2Open the front door.

3Grasp the handle and pull out the cartridge.

4Unpack a new cartridge.

Warning—Potential Damage: When replacing a toner cartridge, do not leave the new cartridge exposed to direct

light for an extended period of time. Extended light exposure can cause print quality problems.

Maintaining the printer

6Insert the new cartridge into the printer. Push the toner cartridge in as far as it will go. The cartridge clicks into

place when correctly installed.

7Close the front door.

Maintaining the printer

Replacing the photoconductor

You can determine approximately how full the photoconductor is by printing the printer settings configuration sheet.

This helps you decide when you might need to order replacement supplies.

To ensure print quality and to avoid damage to the printer, the printer stops operating after the photoconductor has

reached a maximum of 60,000 pages. The printer automatically notifies you before the photoconductor reaches this

point.

When 84 Replace photoconductor or 84 Photoconductor low appears, order a new photoconductor

immediately. While the printer may continue to function properly after the photoconductor has reached its official

end-of-life, print quality significantly decreases.

To replace the photoconductor:

1Turn the printer off.

2Open the front door.

Note: The photoconductor cannot be pulled out if Side Door A is closed.

Maintaining the printer

3Lower Side Door A.

4Pull the photoconductor out of the printer.

Place the photoconductor on a flat, clean surface.

5Unpack the new photoconductor.

Maintaining the printer

6Align and insert the end of the photoconductor.

7Remove the tape from the top of the photoconductor.

8Push the photoconductor as far as it will go.

The photoconductor clicks into place when correctly installed.
