1. Open the waste toner bottle door [A] and take out the waste toner bottle [B], holding the bottle at the decal location.

    • To prevent the waste toner from spilling from the rear side [A], do not tilt the bottle towards the rear when replacing the waste toner bottle.

    • Replace the waste toner bottle while the main power is ON.
    • If the waste toner bottle is replaced while the main power is OFF, the main machine cannot recognize that the waste toner bottle is replaced. In this case, the waste toner full state or near full state, which has been displayed on the operation panel, may not disappear after the replacement. If the waste toner full state or near full state displayed on the operation panel does not disappear after the replacement, remove and install the waste toner bottle again while the main power is ON.

    • The PM counter for the waste toner bottle is not reset even when [New Unit Set] is set to [Yes] in the [PM Counter/New Unit Set] Menu.
    • When the new waste toner bottle is set while the waste toner full is detected, the PM counter for the waste toner bottle is automatically reset. Therefore, there is no need to set to [Yes] on the [PM Counter/New Unit Set] Menu after the replacement.

  • If the waste toner bottle is replaced when the waste toner bottle does not need to be replaced (*1 in the flow chart above), the main machine cannot recognize that the waste toner bottle is replaced. Then the PM counter keeps counting after the replacement. In this case, the waste toner near full state may be reported soon after the replacement.

  • When the machine recognizes the waste toner bottle replacement, the values of SP3-800-004 (Waste Toner Full Detection: Volume Count 1 After Replacement) and SP3-800-005 (Waste Toner Full Detection: Volume Count 2 After Replacement) are reset to "0". After that, the value of SP3-800-004 or SP3-800-005 starts counting up by using the OPC drum rotation as a trigger when an image is printed.
  • If neither SP3-800-004 nor SP3-800-005 are counted up after printing, this means that the main machine does not recognize the waste toner bottle replacement. In this case, remove and install the waste toner bottle while the main power is ON. Then check the SP values of SP3-800-004 or SP3-800-005.
