Redistributing the Toner

When a toner cartridge is nearly empty, faded or light areas may appear. Equally it is possible that colored images may have incorrect colors due to incorrect mixing of the toner colors when one of the colored toner cartridge is nearly empty. 'Ready [Color] Low Toner' appears on the display. The printer can continue to print using the current toner cartridge until the control panel displays a message telling you to replace the cartridge.

You may be able to temporarily improve the print quality by redistributing the toner. The control panel display tells you which color cartridge is low in toner.

1Using the handle, completely open the left cover until it is at right angles to the main frame and the toner cartridges are ejected.
