When toner is low, faded or light areas may appear on a printed page. You may be able to temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner. The following procedure may allow you to finish the current print job before replacing the toner cartridge.

Note

If the scanner is attached, it may be necessary to move the printer to the edge of the work space before opening the printer door in order to get the full range of motion.

1Open the printer door and remove the toner cartridge from the printer.

CAUTION

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

2Gently shake the toner cartridge from side-to-side to redistribute the toner.

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.

3Reinsert the toner cartridge into the printer and close the printer door.

If the print remains light, install a new toner cartridge. See “Changing the toner cartridge.”
