Dell 1230c manual Replacing the Toner Cartridge

REPLACING THE TONER CARTRIDGE

The printer uses four colors and has a different toner cartridge for each one: yellow (Y), magenta (M), cyan (C), and black (K).

When the toner colors LED, on the control panel, indicating each individual toner cartridge according to its color, lights, and the status LED lights red, the printer cartridge is totally exhausted. Your printer stops printing.

Also, the Dell Toner Management System™ program window appears on the computer telling you to replace the cartridge.

At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. Check the type of toner cartridge for your printer. (See "Supplies" on page 38.)

1.Turn the printer off, then wait a few minutes for the printer to cool.

2.Press the release button, completely open the front cover.

3.Grasp the handles on the toner cartridge and pull to remove the cartridge from the printer.

4.Take a new toner cartridge out of its package.

• Don't use sharp objects, such as a knife or scissors, to open the toner cartridge package. You could damage the surface of the toner cartridge.

To prevent damage, do not expose the toner cartridge to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper to protect it if necessary.

5.Holding both handles on the toner cartridge, thoroughly rock it from side to side to evenly distribute the toner.

6.Place the toner cartridge on a flat surface, as shown, and remove the protecting cover.

If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash it in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

7.Ensure that the color of the toner cartridge matches the color slot and then grasp the handles on the toner cartridge. Insert the cartridge until it clicks into place.

8.Close the front cover. Ensure that the cover is securely latched, and then turn the printer on.

If the front cover is not completely closed, the printer will not operate.
