Installing the toner cartridges

You’ll find four toner cartridges in the bottom of the printer setup kit. Each toner cartridge contains the dry plastic powder that the printer uses instead of ink. The first time you install the toner cartridges, follow the steps given here. After that, each time you install a cartridge, follow the instructions in Chapter 10. (Instructions also come with replacement toner cartridges.)

Cartridge life varies, depending on the kind of printing you do. If you use the printer to produce more graphic images than text, you may need to change cartridges more often. (For product specifications, see Appendix A.)
