Replacing the Toner Cartridge

The machine displays a message when the amount remaining in the toner cartridge is low. Note that the print quality may suffer if you continue printing without resolving this issue. You can check the amount remaining in the toner cartridges on the display (Checking the Remaining Amount of Consumables).

When a Message Appear

The message that is displayed depends on the amount remaining in the toner cartridges. Depending on which message is displayed, prepare a new toner cartridge (Consumables) or replace the current toner cartridge with a new one (Procedure for Replacing the Toner Cartridge).
