Replacing the toner cartridge
When the toner cartridge is completely empty:
•The printer stops printing.
•The Smart Panel program window appears on the computer telling you that the toner cartridge is empty.
•The Status LED lights red.
At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. For order information for toner cartridges, see page 7.1.
1 Pull the toner cartridge out.
2Remove the new toner cartridge from its bag.
3Roll the toner cartridge 5 or 6 items to distribute the toner
evenly inside the toner cartridge.
Thoroughly rolling the toner cartridge will assure maximum copies per toner cartridge.
4 Remove the paper protecting the toner cartridge.
NOTE: If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.
