3.Grasp the handles on the toner cartridge and pull to remove the cartridge from the printer.

When you open the front cover, be careful not to touch the underneath of the control panel (the lower part of the fuser unit). The temperature of the fuser unit might be high and could damage your skin.

When you open the front cover and work inside the printer, it is highly recommend that you remove the paper transfer belt first. Because the work you do could contaminate the paper transfer belt.

4.Take a new toner cartridge out of its package.

• Do not use sharp objects, such as a knife or scissors, to open the toner cartridge package. You could damage the surface of the toner cartridge.

To prevent damage, do not expose the toner cartridge to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper to protect it if necessary.

5.Holding both handles on the toner cartridge, thoroughly rock it from side to side to evenly distribute the toner.

6.Place the toner cartridge on a flat surface, as shown, and remove the paper covering the toner cartridge by removing the tape.

If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash it in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

7.Ensure that the color of the toner cartridge matches the color slot and then grasp the handles on the toner cartridge. Insert the cartridge until it clicks into place.

8.Close the front cover. Ensure the cover is securely latched, and then turn the printer on.

If the front cover is not completely closed, the printer will not operate.
