   You may notice an accumulation of ink, paper dust and drum fluid on the maintenance tray blade of a used maintenance tray. These deposits are normal and do not affect its operation. Refer to Cleaning the maintenance tray blade (optional) for more information.

   Note: Once the maintenance tray has been partially used, it will leak drum fluid if tipped. Place the maintenance tray on a flat surface after removing it from the printer. Contact with the waste ink and drum fluid poses no known health risk, but can permanently stain clothing. Refer to MSDS for silicone oil for more information.

   Lift one end of the blue waste liner by its handle to release it from the maintenance tray; remove the waste liner from the maintenance tray.

   Empty the contents of the waste liner by twisting it. Used ink is nontoxic; it can be treated as normal office waste.

   Caution: Do not load used ink into the printer. Reusing waste ink ruins the printhead and invalidates the printer warranty.

   Replace the waste liner in the maintenance tray.

   1. Place the side opposite the handle into the maintenance tray first.

   2. Press down firmly on the handle end of the waste liner to lock it into place. Make sure that the waste liner is fully seated in the maintenance tray.
