Select <Next>.
 
2
Open the front cover of the main unit.
3
Pull out the toner cartridge.
Pull out the toner cartridge of the color displayed in the screen.
Make sure to avoid applying shocks to the toner cartridge by hitting it against something, etc. Doing so may cause the toner to leak.

Remove the new toner cartridge from its box.

With the white part of the new toner cartridge facing up, shake the toner cartridge up and down approximately 10 times.
Shaking the toner cartridge evens out the toner inside.

Install the new toner cartridge.
Before installing the toner cartridge, confirm that the color of the toner cartridge and the color indicated on the slot of the main unit are the same.
Holding the toner cartridge with the flat surface of its tip facing down, slide the cartridge into the main unit as far as it will go.

Close the front cover of the main unit.
The message <Checking the toner> is displayed. The procedure is complete when this message disappears.
If printing was interrupted because toner ran out, it will automatically resume when you replace the toner cartridge.
Even if cyan, magenta, or yellow toner runs out, you can continue to print in black-and-white as long as black toner remains, but the printing quality will drop. If you want to continue printing in black-and-white, do not replace the toner cartridge until printing is complete.
If the color and density of printing differ after replacing the toner cartridge, perform adjustment.
