REPLACING THE TONER CARTRIDGE
To check how much toner remains in the toner cartridge (p.137), hold down the [CO PY] key. The amount of toner
remaining will appear in the display. When less than 25% of the toner remains, obtain a new toner cartridge as soon
as possible. When "READY TO COPY. (PREPARE A NEW TONER.)" appears in the display, the toner cartridge
must be prepared. When "TONER SUPPLY IS LOW." appears in the displ ay, be sure to have a new cartridge on
hand for replacement at any time as little toner remains. When "CHANGE THE TONER CARTRIDGE." appears in
the touch panel, the toner cartridge must be replaced. Follow these steps to replace the cartridge.
1Press gently on both sides of the front
cover and pull it open.
2Pull the toner cartridge out while
pressing the lock release lever.
When pulling out the
toner cartridge, place
your other hand on the
cartridge.
3Remove the new toner cartridge from
the bag. Grasp both ends of the
cartridge and shake it horizontally
about 4 or 5 times.
4While holding down the lock release
lever, insert along guides inside the
machine until the cartridge locks into
place.
5Close the front cover.
• Do not throw the toner cartridge into a fire. Toner may fly and cause burns.
• Store toner cartridges out of the reach of small children.
• If a toner cartridge is stored on end, the toner may harden become unusable. Always store toner cartridges on
their side.
• If a toner cartridge other than a SHARP-recommended toner cartridge is used, the machine may not attain full
quality and performance and there is a risk of damage to the machine. Be sure to use a
SHARP-recommended toner cartridge
When running long copy jobs or copying originals with many areas of solid black, "TONER REPLENISHMENT IN
PROGRESS." may appear in the touch panel and copying may stop even though the cartridge still has toner.
When this occurs, the toner is being replenished. Replenishment will last about three minutes. When toner
replenishment finishes, copying resumes.
Caution
Note
• After removing the toner cartridge, do not
shake it or tap it. Doing so may cause
toner to leak from the cartridge.
• Dispose of the old toner cartridge in
accordance with local regulations.
