Redistributing toner
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
• White streaks or light printing occurs.
•Toner Low appears on the display.
If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish print quality by
redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white
streaks or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed the
toner.
1Open the front cover.
2Pull the toner cartridge out.
3Thoroughly 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 toner into fabric.
Caution
Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge.
Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.
4Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the cartridge
into the opening in the machine.
Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves within
the machine will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it
locks into place completely.
5Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.
Replacing the toner cartridge
When the toner cartridge is completely empty:
•Toner Empty Replace Toner appears on the display.
• The machine stops printing. Incoming faxes are saved in memory.
At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. For order
information for toner cartridges, see page 11.1.
