Replacing the Toner

When only a small amount of toner is left inside the machine, the message <Prepare the toner.> is displayed on the screen. Although you may continue printing, it is highly recommended that you prepare to install a new toner cartridge before the toner completely runs out.

When toner runs out completely and prints can no longer be made, the message <Replace the toner.> appears on the touch panel display. Pressing [Recover Later] enables you to continue operations. However, you have to replace the toner cartridge to make further prints.

When the waste toner container nears capacity, the message <Waste toner is near full. Printing is still possible.> appears on the touch panel display. In this case, you should prepare a new waste toner container.
Even if you do not replace the waste toner container immediately, you can perform printing for a while.

When the waste toner container is full, the message <Waste toner is full.> appears on the touch panel display. Follow the label instruction on inside of front cover or the manuals to replace the waste toner container.


Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the toner remaining inside the cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire. Do not store toner cartridges or paper in places exposed to open flames, as this may cause the toner or paper to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire. If you accidentally spill or scatter toner, carefully gather the toner particles together or wipe them up with a soft, damp cloth in a way that prevents inhalation. Never use a vacuum cleaner that does not have safeguards against dust explosions to clean up spilled toner. Doing so may cause a malfunction in the vacuum cleaner, or result in a dust explosion due to static discharge.

Keep toner out of the reach of small children. If toner is ingested, consult a physician immediately. Take care not to allow toner to come into contact with your hands or clothing. If toner gets onto your hands or clothing, wash it off immediately with cold water. Washing with warm water may set the toner permanently, making the stains impossible to remove. When discarding used toner cartridges, put the cartridges in a bag to prevent the toner remaining inside the cartridges from scattering, and dispose of them in a location away from open flames.
