Replacing the toner cartridges

When one of the following messages appears on the operator panel, the toner cartridge must be replaced soon: 88 Cyan cartridge low, 88 Magenta cartridge low, 88 Yellow cartridge low, 88 Black cartridge low. Make sure the appropriate toner cartridge is ordered. Replace the toner cartridge when the 88 Replace Cyan cartridge, 88 Replace Magenta cartridge, 88 Replace Yellow cartridge, or 88 Replace Black cartridge message appears.

See Ordering toner cartridges for more information. See 88 Replace <color> cartridge in the Menus and Messages Guide on the publications CD for more information.

Toner cartridges must remain in this order; they are not interchangeable in the slots. Notice the labels on the right side of the toner cartridges. From top to bottom, the labels mean:

To replace a toner cartridge, see the Replacing a toner cartridge sheet that comes with a replacement cartridge.

Once the toner cartridge is replaced, follow the instructions located in the new toner cartridge box to recycle the used toner cartridge.
