Installing the Toner Cartridge

Open the front cover.

Remove the starter toner cartridge from its bag. Gently roll

the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly

inside the cartridge.

Thoroughly rolling the cartridge will assure the maximum

copies per cartridge.

NOTES

• To prevent damage, do not expose the toner cartridge to light for

more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if left

exposed for more than a few minutes.

• If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and

wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.
