Note:
❏ Even paper with a thickness within range may not be able to feed due to the paper’s characteristics and qualities (e.g.:
direction of the grain, stiffness). It may also have an effect on the print results.
❏ If you select Auto Select in Paper Source in the printer driver, the printer will search for a paper source containing the
paper size specified in Document Size, and prints from the paper source until there is no more paper, then it prints
from the next paper source automatically. Using this auto select function, for plain paper (80 g/m²), the printer can
continuously print up to 850 sheets (for AL-M320DN/AL-M310DN), or up to 350 sheets (for AL-M220DN).
❏ The output tray capacity for plain paper (80 g/m²) is up to 250 sheets (standard output tray)
❏ In continuous printing, such as when printing on paper with a smaller width than A4, the print speed may slow down
when printing several pages, depending on the circumstances, due to the printer’s temperature adjustments.
❏ When printing on damp paper in a low-temperature environment, moisture on the paper is vaporized by the heat
when the toner is fixed, which may be seen as water vapor when the paper is ejected. Increasing the room temperature
makes this disappear.

Replacing Consumable Products/Maintenance Parts
Precautions during replacement

Always observe the following handling precautions when replacing consumable products/maintenance parts.
For details about the replacements, see the instructions that come with the consumable products.
!Caution:
❏ Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked with a caution label, or the surrounding areas. If the printer has
been in use, the fuser and surrounding areas may be very hot.
❏ Do not dispose of used consumable products/maintenance parts in fire, as they may explode and cause injury.
Dispose of them according to local regulations.
❏ Provide enough space for the replacement procedure. You will have to open some parts (such as the printer cover)
of the printer when you are replacing consumable products/maintenance parts.
❏ Do not install used consumable products that reach end of service life into the printer.
For details about the handling precautions, see “Handling the consumable products and maintenance parts” on
page 9.
If a consumable product reaches the end of its service life, the printer displays the following message on the LCD panel
or the window of EPSON Status Monitor.
