Redistributing toner

When toner is low, faded or light areas appear on the printed page. You might be able to temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner, which means that you might be able to finish the current print job before replacing the toner cartridge.

Note

You will feel some resistance when you open the toner door. Opening the toner door conveniently lifts the toner cartridge for removal.

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

CAUTION

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

2To redistribute the toner, gently shake the toner cartridge from side to side.

CAUTION

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

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

If the print is still light, install a new toner cartridge. See Changing the toner cartridge for instructions.
