Note: All life estimates for printer supplies assume printing on letter or A4 size plain paper.

Print cartridges

When the 88.yy <color> cartridge low message appears or when you experience faded print, remove the print cartridge. Firmly shake it side-to-side and front-to-back several times to redistribute the toner, then reinsert it and continue printing. Repeat this procedure multiple times until the print remains faded. When the print remains faded replace the print cartridge. Have a new cartridge available when the current one no longer prints satisfactorily.
