Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the cover. Make sure

that the cover is securely closed. If it is not fir

mly closed,

printing errors may occur when you print.

Plug in the power cord, and turn the printer on.

Printing a cleaning sheet

If you are experiencing blurred, faded, or smeared printouts,

printing a cleaning sheet will clean the drum inside the toner

cartridge. This process will produce a page with toner debris,

which should be discarded.

Ensure that the printer is turned on and in the Ready mode

with paper loaded in the tray.

Press and hold down the Cancel button on the control

panel for about 10 seconds.
