Replacing the toner cartridge
A toner cartridge has almost reached its estimated cartridge life:
• The status LED and the toner-related message on the display indicate when the toner cartridge should be replaced.
• The computer's Samsung Printing Status Program window appears on the computer telling you cartridge is empty on toner (see "Using Samsung Printer Status"
on page 324).
Check the type of the toner cartridge for your machine (see "Available consumables" on page 90).
• Shake the toner cartridge thoroughly, it will increase the initial print quality.
• Illustrations in this user’s guide may differ from your machine depending on the model and options installed. Check your machine type (see "Front view" on page
21).
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary.
• Do not touch the green area of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.
• Do not use sharp objects such as a knife or scissors to open the toner cartridge package. They might scratch the drum of the cartridge.
• 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.
