Replacing the maintenance tray
The maintenance tray is a disposable unit located inside the printer and behind the front cover. It cleans the printer's drum, contains the waste liner (a blue plastic insert) for used ink, and functions in other operations of the printer.

A front panel message tells you when the maintenance tray is low. 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.

  1. Open the front cover.


    Caution: Some surfaces inside the printer may be hot. Be careful not to touch the areas marked with this caution icon:
  2. When you open the front cover, the following message appears:

    Caution Hot Surfaces

    Install New Tray (B)

  3. Grasp the maintenance tray by the front edge (marked with a blue "B" label) and lift up while sliding it out of the printer. Place the maintenance tray on a level surface.


    Note: Once the maintenance tray has been partially used, it leaks drum fluid if tipped. Never ship a partially used maintenance tray. Never move or ship a printer with a maintenance tray installed. Contact with the drum fluid poses no known health risk. Refer to
    MSDS for silicone oil (drum fluid) for more information.
  4. Install the new maintenance tray by sliding it into the printer. Make sure the tray slides in straight on both sides.

  5. Using both thumbs, push the tray in firmly until it latches.

  6. Close the front cover and wait for the printer to warm up (about 15 minutes).

  7. 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.
