Samsung SCX-4521FG manual Redistributing Toner, Replacing the Toner Cartridge

Redistributing Toner

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or light printing occurs. The LCD displays the warning message, “[Toner Low]”. You can temporarily reestablish print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some case, white streaks or light printing still occurs even after you have redistributed the toner.

1Open the front door.

2Pull the toner cartridge out and remove it from the printer.

3Gently shake the toner cartridge from side to side five or six times to redistribute the toner.

NOTE: 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.
