ACKNOWLEDGING THE STATUS OF THE TONER CARTRIDGE

The status of toner cartridges is indicated by the Status LED and the LCD display. If the toner cartridge is low or needs to be replaced, the Status LED turns red and the display shows the message.

Example:

The above example shows the yellow cartridge status indicated by the arrow. Check the message to find out what the problem is and how to solve it. See "Understanding display messages" on page 62 for more information on error messages.
