Redistributing Toner

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or light print occurs. You can temporarily re-establish the print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge.

1Open the front cover.

2Pull the toner cartridge out and gently roll the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.

NOTE: If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets the toner into fabric.

3 Reinstall the cartridge and close the front cover.
