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

Replacing the photoconductor kit
The printer notifies you when the photoconductor kit reaches a page maximum. The printer does this by displaying the
“Photoconductor life warning” light sequence or the “Replace photoconductor” light sequence.
Light sequences

‑ On
Replace photoconductor
‑ Blinking
‑ Blinking
‑ On
When you first receive either light sequence, you should immediately order a new photoconductor kit. While the printer
may continue to function properly after the photoconductor kit has reached its official end‑of‑life, print quality
significantly decreases.
Note: The photoconductor kit is one item only.
