The printer uses the maintenance tray, located inside the printer behind the front cover, prior to each printing and during cleaning operations. A front panel message tells you when the maintenance tray is low, allowing you to make a minimal number of prints before the tray is depleted. Install a new maintenance tray to continue printing. Each replacement maintenance tray has a print capacity of approximately 12,500 prints. To avoid printing delays, keep an extra maintenance tray available for use in the printer.

Note: There is a 15-minute warm-up period required after replacing the maintenance tray.

   Replace Maintenance Tray

   Grasp the maintenance tray by the front edge and lift up while sliding it out of the printer.

   ---

   Note: Once the maintenance tray has been partially used, it leaks drum fluid if tipped. Never ship a partially used maintenance tray. Contact with the drum fluid poses no known health risk.

   ---

   Install a new maintenance tray in the printer.

   ---

   Note: Be sure to push on both sides of the maintenance tray to latch it firmly into the printer.

   ---

   Close the front cover and wait for the printer to warm-up.

   To prevent leaking, seal the used maintenance tray in the plastic bag from the new (replacement) maintenance tray. Treat the used maintenance tray as normal office waste.
