- Printing quality will decline after the toner cartridge stays unpacked for one year or longer. Therefore, prepare a new toner cartridge.
- Use genuine OKI consumables for optimum performance.
- Failures caused by using non-genuine consumables may void the warranty or maintenance contract. (The use of non-genuine consumables will not necessarily cause failures, but please fully take notice of such usage.)
- Printing under the following conditions may damage the image drum. Replace the toner cartridge immediately.
- Opening and closing the front cover with toner empty
- Printing in mono without cyan (blue), magenta (red) or yellow (yellow) toner
- Replace the toner cartridge immediately when a message indicating replacement of the toner cartridge is displayed and printing has stopped.
- If you repeatedly open and close the front cover so that you can continue printing temporarily, a failure may be caused or the print quality may be degraded.
In addition, after a certain period of time, printing will be disabled even if you open and close the front cover. (The printable period of time varies with the usage condition.)
