Replacing the Toner Cartridge
When the toner eventually runs out, only blank pages print when a print job is sent or when a fax is received. At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. The display on the control panel shows the warning message, “[Toner Empty]” and the machine stops printing.
NOTE: You can set the machine to ignore the “[Toner Empty]” message and continue printing. See page 5.7.

2Lightly pushing the used cartridge down, pull the cartridge out.
3Unpack the new toner cartridge and gently roll it horizontally four or five times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.
Save the box and the plastic bag for shipping.
4Slide the new toner cartridge in until it locks into place.
5Close the front cover.
