Replace the filters

Introduction

Your printer can be equipped with emission filters or an external exhaust. When the printer is equipped with filters, these filters must be replaced regularly. You can replace the filters without service assistance:

  • The operator panel gives an orange warning when you can replace the filters.

  • The operator panel gives a red warning when you must replace the filters. The printing process is stopped until you have placed new filters.
