When toner is out
When the toner cartridge runs out of toner, the printer control panel displays a TONER OUT message and the printer stops printing. You can continue printing the current job by pressing GO. The message continues to appear for every job until you take one of the following actions:
●replace the toner cartridge
●press GO (the printer will print the current job)
If you want the printer to continue printing when TONER OUT appears, change the TONER OUT menu item on the Print Quality Menu from STOP to CONTINUE (see “TONER OUT= STOP” on page 219). Subsequent jobs will continue to print indefinitely while TONER OUT is displayed.
