Maintenance

11Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the toner cartridge into the opening in the machine.
12Tabs on the sides of the toner cartridge and corresponding grooves within the machine will guide the toner cartridge into the correct position until it locks into place completely.
13Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.
