8.1Replacing theToner Cartridges
The printer uses four toner cartridges: black, yellow magenta, and cyan. When the toner supply in a cartridge begins to run out, the message ‘Replace xxxx Toner (x)’ message appears on the operation panel (xxxx is the toner cartridge color).
Replace toner cartridge(s) as soon as the message prompting you to do so appears. The printer will stop operating if you do not replace the toner cartridge when required.
