REPLACING THE TONER CARTRIDGE

To check how much toner remains in the toner cartridge (p.137), hold down the [COPY] 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 "PREPARE A NEW ONE." appears in the display, the toner cartridge must be prepared. When "TONER SUPPLY IS LOW." appears in the display, 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.

Caution

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.

When running long copy jobs or copying originals with many areas of solid black, "TONER REPLENISHMENT IN Note 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 two minutes. When toner replenishment finishes, copying resumes.
