1. Changing Cartridges
CHAPTER 4
Changing the Toner Cartridge
⋅There are four Color Toner Cartridges: Black, Yellow, Magenta and Cyan. When any of the Color Toner Cartridges run out of toner, change it for a new one.
⋅When any Color Toner Cartridge runs short of toner, “ TONER LOW” is displayed to indicate that it will run out of toner soon. In this case, remove the corresponding Cartridge, shake it several times, and reload it into the printer. (This makes the remaining toner uniform.) Also, prepare a new Cartridge because the old one will run out of toner soon.
⋅When any Color Toner Cartridge runs out of toner, “ TONER EMPTY” is displayed to indicate that it has run out of toner, then the printer disables printing. Each Press of the Proceed key will allow one more print. You can still make prints, but the image density will become lighter and lighter. It is recommended therefore that you change the Toner Cartridge as soon as possible.
Even when it pressed Proceed key, when “ TONER EMPTY” is not canceled. Please change the Toner Cartridge as soon as possible. In this case, change the corresponding Cartridge by the following procedure:
⋅The Toner Cartridges can be changed by using either the Auto mode or Manual mode of the Maintenance Menu, each having a specific procedure. Use the correct procedure according to the mode. ☞pp. 48, 52
⋅Put the old Cartridge in a polyethylene bag or the like and dispose of it according to your local regulations, or return it to your
sales representative.
