Replacing the Toner Cartridge

When the message for replacing the toner cartridge is displayed on the touch panel display, press [

] on the bottom right and replace the toner cartridge for the displayed color.

When the Black toner or all of the toners run out completely and prints can no longer be made, a screen with instructions on how to replace the toner cartridge appears on the touch panel display. Follow the procedure described below to replace the toner cartridge.

If you press [Close], you can continue operations, such as setting modes and scanning originals, even if you do not replace the toner cartridge immediately.

The location of the toner cartridge is indicated in the following illustration.

WARNING
Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the toner 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.

CAUTION
Keep toner out of the reach of small children. If toner is ingested, consult a physician immediately. If toner gets onto your hands or clothing, wash it off immediately with cold water. Washing it off with warm water will set the toner, and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.

NOTE
Complete instructions on how to replace the toner cartridge can be accessed by pressing [Previous] or [Next] on the touch panel display. If toner runs out during a print job, the remaining prints are made after you replace the toner cartridge. If black toner is left, you can continue copying and printing in black-and-white.

After replacing toner cartridges, if printed colors are different from the colors printed before you replaced the toner cartridges, perform [Auto Adjust Gradation] in [Adjustment/Maintenance] (Settings/Registration). (See "Automatic Gradation Adjustment.")
