1Open the top cover.
2Pull the toner cartridge out.
3Remove the new toner cartridge from its bag.
Caution
• Do not use sharp objects, such as a knife or scissors, to open the toner cartridge package. They might scratch the drum of the cartridge.
4Locate the sealing tape at the end of the toner cartridge. Carefully pull the tape completely out of the cartridge and discard it.
Note
• The sealing tape should be longer than 60 cm when correctly removed.
•Holding the toner cartridge, pull the sealing tape straight to remove it form the cartridge. Be careful not to cut the tape. If this happens, you cannot use the toner cartridge.
•Refer to the helpful pictures on the cartridge wrapping paper.
5Thoroughly shake the cartridge 4 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.
Thoroughly roll the cartridge to assure maximum copies per cartridge. Save the box and the plastic bag for shipping.
Caution
• 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.
•To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary.
•Do not touch the green surface underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.
